Thank you so much for your kind compliments here and in the Direct Messages area! (you boosted my rankings on this forum, at that). You appear to be someone that I'd like to know or be involved with. But, if I recall reading your posts, you already are a married woman. So I'll have to envy your husband for his good fortune is meeting and mating with you (as Rod Stewart sang: "Some guys have all the luck, some guys get all the breaks, . . . ").

Well, that IS a bit of a different issue from the general farting issue. I do understand that you're very young and have expectations of remaining a virgin until you marry (which is all well and good) but surely you can at least begin to understand a scenario where a spouse's obesity can be a turn-off?

I've seen this so many times over so many years. The couple marries with all good intent of doing the whole "until death us do part" routine. As the years go by, one or the other who started off svelte and fit turns into a very large parody of itself. It's a creeping routine. One or the other ends up being an obese blob and sometimes both do, in which case they sometimes manage.

However, when one of the partners remains relatively trim, the gap between them because of the weight issue eventually becomes oppressive in many cases and very often leads to a total meltdown. You can't be expected to understand that at your tender age.

Back on topic to farts!

Thank you so much for your kind remarks...I am honored that you feel that way. Same here. You seem like the very kind of person who would fit beautifully in my circle of friends. Yes, I am married....29 1/2 years, to my dear friend. I am also glad I could do my part to increase your ranking!

Ah...I see.

A wise man once told me to beware of those little peccadilloes that we don't mind when first we meet a lovely lady, for after we are together for some time those very same traits that "we don't mind" are now causing us to feel the edge of the kitchen knife with our thumb while staring longingly at her neck.

The point is: I certainly don't hold passing gas or having to relieve oneself, or having periods, or having to blow or clear one's nose or throat, and other biological functions against any woman -- nor should they hold it against me for the same (if they are truly mature and thoughtful, caring and appreciative adults; i.e., appreciative enough to not so readily let go of a good thing over something like the need to engage in one's necessary biological functions).
Perhaps my writing is too oblique - it wouldn't be the first time.

I don't hold farting against a person if it's an accident. I do if it's intentional, in a crowded public place.

When I was a child my mother took me to the Statue of Liberty, and we proceeded to climb the stairs to the top. Unfortunately, there was a muy grande woman directly above us on our long climb who had a very gaseous demeanor. Trapped in the copper-clad oven that was Lady Liberty and forced to inhale those noxious vapors for so long has perhaps tainted my viewpoints a wee bit.

Yes, I held it against that woman. If it was intentional, definitely. If not, it was still poor timing - I'm sure her gastrointestinal distress didn't appear out of thin air, but gave ample warning before she started her climb.

As for nose-blowing, throat-clearing, etc. - they're dirty habits when performed in certain public places, plain and simple.

I don't care if I was hooked-up with {insert name of whatever current sex symbol you identify with} - if she was doing that constantly and wondering why I reacted the way I did, I'd be long gone. I can't like a woman if I don't like what she does.

There's always more fish in the sea - and they don't ALL act like scavengers.

Please read all my previuos posts before you decide to call meout. Im not going to answer your questions as I have already adressed both the accidental fart and the male/female double standard in previous posts, infact more than once.

Around 30 years ago (either 1981 or 1982), I was taking a municipal transit authority bus in the U.S. metro area I lived in from the city's downtown to a small college campus in the northern suburbs about 12 miles north of the city’s downtown (perhaps a 30-40-minute bus ride) and the ONLY passengers on the bus were myself (then a young male in my later 20s) and a very attractive, lovely, and poised and shapely young blond woman (likely 19-21 in age, though I don't know for sure) who was dressed very well and stylishly. She was going up to the campus for an admissions interview, I believe. We were both sitting in the middle of the bus near one another and talking on this trip up to the college campus (and again, we were the only passengers in the entire bus). I noticed she had a lovely fragrance (perfume) that she was obviously wearing and I said something to her like “Hmm, I love that smell or fragrance. What is that called?” And at just about the exact same time that those words were forming and coming out of my mouth, I noticed a very strong horrid odor permeating the air all around us. It was obvious that she had silently passed gas and it was very, very strong. Yet I played totally cool and, as I was saying ““Hmm, I love that smell or fragrance. What is that called?” while noticing her horrid odor, she seemed somewhat meek and said something like “It’s ‘Chanel’s Unspoken’” or “It’s called “Evening in Paris’” or however she responded (I don’t exactly remember her exact words, years later). I didn’t mention or bring up her obvious odorous emission AT ALL and didn’t show any sign that I noticed it AT ALL (though who wouldn’t notice it unless your sense of smell was severly damaged or you were dead?!!???), and, at the moment that it permeated the atmosphere all around us, I was complimenting her on how she smelled and said that I loved it and how wonderful it was! Is that magical timing or what? And it was very good fortune for her to have her fragrance/perfume that she was wearing to take the spotlight off of her odorous emission (though I would have never, ever mentioned it nor shown any sign that I noticed it at all). And at that point, the bus arrived at the college campus and I cheerfully wished her the very best in her interview and we departed. And, despite that odorous episode, I found her lovely and attractive and would have made out with and made love with her anytime. She still had all her feminine, womanly appeal and had a sweet personality.

You see, people, I am a mature and intelligent person who is not flustered by such things (whether at a young age such as my teens or 20s or whether now as a 57-year-old man . . . being on the precipice of the senior years). If I have an aversion to or hangup regarding certain physical bodily functions (like I used to have regarding people blowing their nose in front of me . . . with all the mucus, snot, et al being heard while they were blowing), I rationally think it through and acknowledge to myself that you can’t reasonably hold others to a standard that you yourself can't necessarily always live up to and deliver on as well and that you can’t reasonably hold people’s biological functions against them (after all, we didn’t create ourselves or make ourselves this way; it is how we were all made and you have to accommodate and live with it) and then I drop the hangup of mine and learn to accept such biological functions as part of the natural order (this is how we were all created to be by our Creator or by nature . . . whatever it is you believe as to how we all got here and how and why we are the way we are). I move on from it to the next preoccupation and learn to still recognize the inherent attractiveness and appeal of the woman -- if she has whatever degree of attractiveness and appeal in the first place (after all, don’t YOU want or hope for the opposite sex person you are with to be forgiving and accepting of you for YOUR inadvertent or unplanned biological episodes and hope that they shall not lose all feelings of appeal and attraction toward YOU because of it?). I try to always treat people the same way that I would want to be treated (as best as I can, though we might all come up short at some time or other).
I dont know freind, judgeing by your " id eat her doody" remark, maybe you DID find the smell of her fart appealing! No, no im just kiddin. That was a very entertaining and amusing story.

It's all about picking your battles and knowing that there IS no such thing as a "perfect" person. There's something wrong in a relationship when you can't "let your guard down", eventually. What kind of relationship do you have with another person when you have to maintain that perfect facade? This comes right down to the guys who think their women should look as picture perfect as they did when they first started dating them...spend that 30 min on the make up, another 30 on the hair, an hour picking out and trying on the clothes to get to the outfit that is the most appealing. Newsflash...on those dates, you were seeing the "going out" woman. There was probably always that "staying in" woman in her all along....you just didn't see that person. When you were dating, you might have seen her once or twice a week. It gets damn tiresome (and EXPENSIVE), to have to doll up every day. It's also damned demeaning to a woman to think that the guy she fell in love with...didn't fall in love with the REAL her....the one without makeup or curled hair. Some people fall in love with an "image" of a person. Well, it's not love and it never was, if you're not in love with the person who's underneath the wrappings.
Langauge was a bit "rough" in this video. I lost interest, quick.

Admittedly, he used some rough language, but I stuck with it and definitely got the point he was trying to make.
