No need to fret SBDB, some are still here. by the way, good lead in. Though confident in my normal underwear habits, I most definately would have to wear something under the kilt. Some days the wind can gust where there was no wind for days. Frightful is the only thought.
Opposite sex? Anything. Nothing.
Depends on the situation really. Too many factors to consider. Just figure it as Christmas morn. The wrapping might be pretty, and the gift may be fine, but how important is the box containing the gift. Just depends.

Slow thread today....
Ye, Nathan is quite the eye-pleaser. But, I've always said I prefer Mal, mostly because that's who I really have insight into. Nathan seems very nice from different interviews, etc, but the attraction to him is purely physical, while the attraction to Mal is more character based. He's tortured enough to need comfort, but also loyal, strong, witty, daring, brave, sexy, etc. I don't think it's the strong, silent part that I find so attractive (although I will admit to falling prey to the stereotype that showing emotions is showing weakness) but rather the good man underneath the silence that is attractive. Strong, silent and an asshat does nothing for me. 
Sexiest underthings on men are the boxer-briefs.
Not really a fan of the kilts...even on Nathan. Truth be told, seeing those picts of him in that kilt bumped him down a notch in my book. But then I saw some other shot of him in t-shirt and jeans and he went back up about 4 notches. 
Okay, watched a movie this weekend that has lead to some scary pondering for me: Failure to Launch. If the romantic comedy part doesn't scare you away, the 'Failure to launch' featurette will. So I ask: How do you all feel about living at home well into adulthood? (one guy on the featurette was 38!)

Sorry, SBDB, work once more ambushed me and has kept me from posting much...
Underwear...I actually prefer simple, white cotton underwear for general looking...there are very few females they do not look good on. For amusement, I enjoy thongs and things like that. A big turn-off for me as far as underwear goes is the Frederick's of Hollywood ideal; crotchless, with feathers and sparkles and less cloth than there is in a band-aid. I do not find those sexy at all.
As for kilts, every time I have worn one, I have gone Regimental. There is simply no other way to wear a kilt. 
RugBug, I had to return home not once, not twice, but three times after I entered the "Real World"; and one of those times was with the ex-wife. It is not fun, I did not enjoy myself, and I hated being a burden on my parents. It is not something I would wish on anyone.

Over wear - Blokes that wear rugby shirts with the collars turned up. That just says 'public school t**t' to me. Oh, and those nasty Pringle golfing sweaters.
But the celtic type of man, in one of those roughknit fishermen's sweaters? V tasty.
Under wear - Again, with the celtic thing...kilts. Lack of. 'Nuff said.
There are men who can make virtually anything look good - I'm afraid I can't quite see the unikilt thing, even on Nathan (though I could happily take it off him, thankyou very much 
) And then there are some guys who will always look like theri mother dresses them. I think it depends on the contents of the parcel, rather than the packaging.
Mind you, I always went for smartly dressed brainiacs, until I saw AB all scruffed up and yummy.

There is a distinction, to me at least, between people who have to move home for specific reasons but always have an eye on moving out ASAP and those who move home and plan on staying until they get kicked out or find someone else to take care of them.
Yes, it's expensive to live on your own. Yes, roommates can be a pain in the arse. Yes, doing laundry, dishes and scrubbing the toilet are all unfortunate events that should be faced with the steely resolve and yellow rubber gloves of a grown-up. Avoiding those realities because someone else is willing to do those things for you is just mind-numbingly sad.

RugBug, I understand now. The difference between needing to and being a leech. Gotcha. 
Nope, no leeching here...serious financial crunch in two cases, and loss of a potential job in the other...so no, not by choice.

Asshat. Ha. Haven't heard (or said) that in a while. Just kinda curious. Went shooting with TNG, her little brothers, and her step dad Saturday. Unless he's had alot to drink, he's not much for long dialogue either. All the time I've known him he's always been that way. Honestly, I can only hope to be as family oriented, loyal, and loving as this man. Kinda funny how he tends to show his love rather than tell.
Played into the sterotype myself this weekend. Went with my kids from work to a training on preparing for grief our community. Didn't hit me until bedtime how traumatized I have been. Denial works for only so long. Just had a drink and cried it out. Felt good, but there always seems to be dead space. I think that may be where alot of the silence comes from.
So far I refuse to watch anymore romantic comedy unless it comes highly recommended.
At home. Been back for almost three years. Wanted to leave again late this year, but that seems all shot to hell now. Though it is tiring living there now with the kids, it feels like I'm actually doing something now. Feels like home again.

I left home right out of high school and never had to go back other than the usual visits. I moved back after my father died to help my mom & sister, but i built a house near the ranch and have lived there since. After my mother died my sister took off and i rarely see her. The old homestead remains empty.

Whitefall - Glad to hear it. You probably have advice from a thousand directions! Best of luck on the process.
Underwear - the less the better. Just skin is best. If anything, tight cotton. I'm with Tristan - the super-frilly stuff is distracting.

no, no no no! the best fun to be had on the london underground is you borrow a small child and and train them, at you silent command, to say 'muuuum! Trevors gone!'
at which point you reply 'oh my god i told you not to bring that bloody snake with you!'
or, you wait until its jampacked, literally sardine tight, and start giggling, and just watch it spread like wildfire, pretty soon the whole carraig will be jiggling up and down with the laughing.
or theres the old ' so that rash? yeah, went to the doctor. is it infectious? yeah, but only on close contact'
ah, the london underground.
joy.
In defence of londoners - i've never found them cold, just reserved, but then i like that, and travelling as i have with half my life and a cat in a box on the underground and mainline trains, i've always had people more than willing to help me out, and they haven't been druggies or whatever - one guy was in a business suit, plainly on his way to a meeting, and he carried my duffel to the train that was seconds away from leaving while i pulled my case and tried to talk the cat down fron a hissy fit. He then offered to get me a cup of tea but i said no, as it was obvious the big wad of papers in his hand what something he should have been reading - and he was south london, Greenwich born and bred.
I actually prefer the over developed sense of personal space that londoner have. i got back up to liverpool and the creep here seem to think they have a god given right to touch you anywhere and even grab hold of you. Since i've been back i've actually learned to growl and improved my aim (where high heeled shoes and groins are concerned anyway).
its not that i'm stand offish, its just that people don't get to touch me. only the few I choose have that privelidge. Londoners understood that, Liverpudlians just don't have the class.
