Mild eroticism?
Boy, are you ever reading the wrong ones. It has entertained me for years that the little old ladies that picket 7-11 for carrying Playboy go home and read The Cleavage and the Bulge for kicks.
Some of those scenes are smokin’!
And I read them.
In public.
And I am not ugly. I currently refuse, however, to provide a cite. I wanna show up at a Dopefest and have everybody wonder who the hell I am. Maybe I’ll be mistaken for somebody cool…
No one likes a tattletale, Cindy.
Gee, I wasn’t aware I had contractual obligations to watch my OP like a sick baby. Thanks for the heads up, Crunchy. I shudder to think of what this board would become without hall monitors like you around.
From what I gathered, people of all kinds read romance novels, but mostly in private shame, like masturbation. What more do you want me to say?
Hey, I NEVER turn down anyone who wants to ‘help’…
Just letting people know what they’re dealing with.
Of course there aren’t any contractual obligations, but statements are expected to be backed up. I’ve only seen you in two threads, this one and the one I linked to. In the linked thread, you did as I said above - ignored responses on the subject to launch a lame personal attack. You’re doing it again here, ignoring 30+ other responses to single me out by calling me “Cindy” (I mean c’mon - what is that supposed to be anyway, an attack on my masculinity or something?) and childish accusations of me being a “tattletale” and “hall monitor” when I haven’t said anything about you personally. You sound like a fucking 3rd grader, but a highly precocious 3rd grader who knows phrases like “sociological implications.”
Nice to see you back on subject. What would I like you to say? How about explaining what you meant by:
Are you suggesting only ugly women read romance novels? It certainly seems that way from the thread title and the quote above. You’re saying in the OP you’ve never seen an attractive woman reading a romance novel and that this implies something about society. What are you getting at? Do you have a point? Asking if people have seen attractive women reading romance novels is a poll (which belong in IMHO, as has already been pointed out so why did you go straight to th ePit with this?) but suggesting there’s sociological implications hints that you may have more to say. So what is it, if anything?
The “Cindy” part I think comes from Cindy Brady-in the movie, Mike and Carol are always saying, “Cindy, no one likes a tattletell!”
Bossk: There may not be any contractual obligations, but somebody who names himself after an obscure reptilian bounty hunter and posts vaguely misogynistic discussion topics may have emotional issues that require further exploration. I predict your tenure on these boards will be stormy, high-profile, and brief, and then quickly forgotten.

I hereby nominate myself for a Congressional Medal of Geekiness for being the first to publicly admit recognizing the name.
[/sub]
Yes … well … I wasn’t exactly going to admit that I know that in public, okay? (Eep! I think I just did!) :eek:
You’re not the first that I know of. It was mentioned in the thread I linked to.
And Guin - I never watched too much Brady Bunch, so I wouldn’t have gotten that reference.
I hate to be the guy to fuck up your nomination, but …
From the thread which Crunchy linked:
Sorry Charlie. Hey, there’s always Prom Queen.
Admittedly, it was the movie, which was actually quite funny.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase-“something suddenly came UP!”
I masturbate with pride. 
Does that mean we can all watch?

Hahaha. Oh MY. My mother, a devout Christian and intelligent, wonderful woman has a secret thing for trashy romance novels. When my sister and I make fun of her she just rolls her eyes and goes back to reading. She avoids eye contact when she checks out her stacks of Harlequins and Harlequin spinoffs from the library.
Not that I’ve ever read them. At all. Not even read the summaries on the back…
[sub]Ok, mebbe I’ve read a couple, but ONLY for the sex scenes…
Sure! Tickets at the door. First in, best dressed. Bring your spouses and children - it’ll be a fun day out for the whole family!

Haven’t checked out my website, have you. There it is on the bottom of the screen. Not too private.
[sup]If you’ve seen it already, don’t bother. I haven’t updated it in months. But I’m gonna
Actually, Guin, FTR it was in one of the original episodes of the show, too. I couldn’t tell you which one, and since this is just a Pit thread, I’m not going to take the time to find a cite to it.
I was a fairly die hard fan of The Brady Bunch in syndication, which means I’ve seen most of the episodes at least 3 times.
And before someone tries to slander my character by pointing out that I’m a geek for admitting that, I’ll state here and now that I stand proud as a Brady Bunch fan. Thank you very much! =)
Keep in mind that the first few rows are the “wet zone.” You know, kinda like Sea World.
Fish fingers for all!
[sub]Oh God, I can’t believe I just said that.[/sub]
No, they’re all too busy doing their nails, hair, etc. and working out so that they keep their lovely figures.
I hope she’s joking.
(consequently, spending too much time in front of the mirror is rather vain, but what’s wrong with working out? Healthy! Gets one away from the PC for a bit! )
