And here I thought Colorado was considered to be the South, and that much further south there was a a lot more misogyny. Maybe that's just because of the Mexican culture (sorry to any Latin American folk that might offend; this is based on my personal experience of every man I've personally met from Mexico because they all made me feel like an object. Not that that's exclusive to them, either, just seemed more consistant.) and white-trash cliches and the idea of "southern belles" which are commonly thought of as fairly helpless images of women.
I wish I knew some single straight-talking women I was willing to part with, but it's rare here, too, and the few I know are my friends. Or lesbians. Or both. Or at least friends of my family. Did I mention several of them are lesbians? I guess they have to develop that habbit to comfortably exist; if they get hit on and can't come right out and say they're lesbians, there are issues. Of course, I think there are always issues if you can't just come right out and say what's true, but you know what I mean.
Sorry, did that belong on Imponderables? Well, we can talk about anything we want here, so why not?
Anyway, is there middle ground where we real women could meet the real men, or do we have to venture into the blazing summer heat? Cuz really, if they're real men, they should be willing to meet us halfway 
I think being direct in general is rare, no matter where you are. Maybe that's why guys don't believe I actually mean what I say? Huh.

Hey, look! I found an emote for lurkers!
Of course, since lurkers don't post I don't see how they would use it... That's pretty funny.

[[]RANT[]]What I don't get with sigs like that is why. I mean why? What is the point?
You don't others do, you made one choice they made another, doesn't make you supirior to them, or vice verse. I find sigs like that are amusing because many times it seems to be an attempt to prove supiriority over people who make a different choice, and it's that attitude that tends to lure children in to trying it who wouldn't of made that choice otherwise.
Would you put something like this in your signature?
Most people will find true love, if your an unattractive worthless waste of space like me who won't, copy this into your signature.[[]/RANT[]]
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

So sorry that my sig is so offensive to you. The fact is that since it is unusual to meet others who have never made the choice to poisen themselves in some way, I don't see anything wrong with identifying myself as such. I don't think I'm better than anyone else, but I do think I've made an unusual, even rare, lifestyle choice. The fact is that, if you don't say otherwise, people tend to assume you're a user of some kind just because such a majority of people are. I'd rather avoid that kind of confusion, personally, because I get tired of explaining to everyone and their brother why I don't want to go to a bar when invited. I saw this floating around in sigs and thought "Oh, okay" and everyone who smokes all the time is welcome to put something like (pulling the stats out of thin air) "32% of people who smoke pot experience paranoia while high, if you are one of them, copy this into your signature" or "80% of people who smoke pot are laid back; if you think being a stoner should be grounds for Concientious Objection, copy this into your signature" I don't care! Say whatever you want! Or hey, how about "70% of people who drink have had an accident while drunk. If you are one of the 30% who hasn't, copy this into your signature." The possibilities are endless!
It's just a statement of fact; doesn't have to have any other purpose.
