exfoliations
Okay, if a stinky dude is exfoliating large visible chunks of callous flesh off of his toes in the locker room, with dozens of other gym patrons milling about, am I out of line asking him to do that at home? Perhaps Tim can offer some advice a la Ann Landers or Dan Savage. Totally, utterly disgusting. Next time I think I'll just be my righteous self and offer him some quiet advice right then and there. Oh yeah, and don't be clipping your toenails in the locker room either, or your fingernails on the bus or subway. Thank you.
Grrr...men. I've forgotten how frustrating being single can be. I suppose I should consider myself blessed that I have so many people to chat with whenever I go out to the Green Lantern, but when I'm in the mood to stalk woofy guys, how do I gracefully get out of nice chats with friends and acquantances? (Another question for Ann Landers.) I no longer have any degree of anonymity in this city.
So I see this guy who I've had engaging chats with on ICUII. He's into the sci-fi show Stargate and is furry. So I go up to him and start chatting, and he immediately stiffens up when I start up some conversation. Then this other guy comes up and pats him fondly on the back. Oh, he has a boyfriend.
So then I try to chat it up with Mr. Monosyllabic Response from San Francisco. I move on.
Then I see this Fitz look-alike, except he's leaner, has more fur, a bigger schnoz and a nice goatee. So of course I go up and chat with him. We hit it off well, and I learn that he's an IT tech and is very nice. Eye contact gets heavy, I feel him up, he responds in kind. After about ten minutes of flirting and more nice chatter he begins talking about his boyfriend who's out of town, a Navy S.E.A.L. Grrr...I seem to attract domestics, it seems. Three strikes, and I go home. However, since the Honey Pot torch has been passed on, it's no big thing. I needed my sleep this week.
While I had a delightful summer with many domestics in "flexible" relationships, I can't do that for long with some guys, especially the ones I like. I have to not be too attracted to a fuck buddy or play with ones from out of town, because when I have continual contacts with the nicer ones, emotional links start to build. From experience, they will never leave their partners (female or male), no matter how fun you are. And if they do, you're setting yourself up for trouble in the future, cuz if they do it once, they can do it again. Emotional shields up at 90%, Mr. Worf.
Dang it, my nomination for Jason in the Brawny Man vote didn't go through. Sorry bud. However, my vote after the primaries goes to Mario the firefighter. Who's your Brawny Man? There's a set of free Brawny Man screensavers there too.

A bigger schnoz? I find that hard to believe... :)

Yes, it was definitely bigger, but still fit the face and the frame. And you know what they say about big schnozzes...oops, I should try to quell that belief, as I have a petite nose.
