Sweets, the gal version is the shot from down a well. You dont have one btw.

I was thinking about doing a MySpace bathroom pic with the toilet in full view, and then having a live lobster in the toilet. But the lighting is really tricky for that shot.

crawdad? lobster is salt water

and there is a local tradition in Maine involving the kitchen floor

but not aware of one that includes the toilet...

Well, the obligatory MySpace bathroom pic has become such a cliche, there's almost no way to make it worse....

....except to show the toilet, too. One of the funniest ones I ever saw was a girl who not only had the toilet in the pic, but also had a nice little piece of floater IN the toilet. Yeah, there's a girl I want to meet -- as soon as she learns to flush the toilet, maybe.

It's no great loss. She probably had kids, anyway. And I bet they couldn't flush the toilet, either.

maybe indoor plumbing was new to them? That must be the family my mom was always talking about when she said "Only someone raised in a barn would behave that way..."

Actually, the idea of a MySpace bathroom mirror pic from INSIDE AN OUTHOUSE would be just about absurd enough to impress me. On the other hand, I don't know if outhouses have mirrors.

no, and you can't see inside the bowl....

It'll never work, then. I'll just have to look for more interesting pics elsewhere.

OK, so I have seen literally (and figuratively) hundreds of posts in these forums where someone makes mention of the fact that they are constantly being contacted by much younger people here.

I find this puzzling, because -- as always seems to be the case with the sheer egregious perversity of the internet -- this never ever ever happens to me.

I get a lot of profile views, but a large percentage of these are inevitably from people who are old enough to be my grandmother's older neighbor. I never actually hear from them. Most likely, they died while attempting to read my profile.

The ones who do message me are slightly younger than the previous group, but still old enough to remember when there were only 36 states.

I do get a disproportionate number of e-mails from 22-year-olds, but these are always scammers. Those don't count.

So, what I'm wondering is this -- how does one go about being contacted by someone so "much younger" here? I'd really like to know....!

WELL,, To be real with ya Lex,,I'd say its because YOU may NOT,,,reply much to them here in a forum,,,,like,,,ok,,you see their words,,then notice their age,,,and IF their really young,,YOU might not contribute to a reply to them,,as they were maybe not the Poster of that post,,,and then again,,maybe they were,,and you maybe skipped it?

AllI know is I PLAY with every lady who comes on here or posts in the forums,,and because of that,,I have made SOME think I find them sexully right,,or HOT for me,,,lol

so they write me and ask me about me,,,and what I made my comments to them about?,,and then we get talking,,,but I let them know,,I'm NOT into young,,laies as their age is to much younger than mine,,Its a me thing here?

I mean,,sure,,we could go out,,maybe have a great time,,but,,we could never BE,,as a couple,,because I can't see me ever wanting a young care giver to my old bones,,,lol,,I FEEL THAT IS JUST WRONG.
So I PLAY,,,and thats whats gets me into trouble ,,,or THEM,,to write me...I can also say that talking sexy to SOME,,,is to THEM,,,very moving,,as they WANT MORE OF THAT,,,,lol,,and,,,AGAIN,,,I get into trouble there,,,,lol w/oreally even trying to go ANYWHERE,,with that..
Just my thoughts ,,hope that helps a bit??

I think it's fortunate that it remains a mysterious dark hole....you're in Indiana. Don't tell me you've never seen an outhouse?

Then I would suggest this...

GO OUT THERE AND SEARCH THE PROFILES MUTUAL MATCH.
DO WHATEVER IS NEEDED TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE.

then why do you want them to message you?

I've seen pictures of outhouses, I've overheard the occasional whispered conversation about outhouses. But I've never seen one in real life. I'm pretty sure that if there were ever any outhouses in this area, they've all been renovated into really small condos.

Well, Lex, I personally know of two women (one is married, the other is engaged) who have made a personal choice never to have kids. One of them, I'm confident will stick with that, the other, is young. She's young and her body (and hormones... etc) will change. Her personality seems naive and I think it's highly reasonable that she may change her mind later on down the road. Which is going to be a problem with the young ones... seeing if they are mature enough to make a decision that they are truly going to stick with.

I wish you all the luck in the world. I think things like that are driven by culture (and yes, you've already mentioned this), but I don't think that many level-headed, young, childless women will be on a dating site. They're probably very active, consumed with hobbies, traveling, etc, and are probably the most UNDER represented group on dating sites. I like the idea of you traveling and researching this whole childless mindset and how culture influences/drives/inhibits such things. Who knows, it's probably how you'll meet someone incredible.

For me, I could care less about most things anymore. I don't think my personality is compatible with too many people (I'm pretty sarcastic and require whomever I'm with to carry with them an armor of 'thick skin') I would just like to find someone with two IQ points to rub together, and can form a coherent sentence. This whole dating thing is turning me into a cynic. Not good. Not taking this all too seriously anymore, lol.
