If we have to listen to how a guy doesn't perform in bed, we can certainly listen to concerns over a tricycle.

I'm STILL trying to buy mind bleach on Amazon!

She has never even met the guy. Right now he is nothing more than an internet handle. Come on this is not in the same category as actually knowing a guys name (and meeting in person five times).

And if I met a guy five times I wouldn't know how he is in bed. Though, technically, I have no problem with the thought.

It's ALL valid. I won't demean you meeting a guy five times, if you don't demean her considerations having never met the guy.

It's all relative, and it's all valid. She is at least being introspective and considerate in her dealings with men.

Well, the OP did say

So, it seems she's heard from him more than once. If the trike is a turn-off, she needs to just cut him loose with a polite rejection so he knows to move on.

I most certainly have not demeaned anyone on this thread. Don't ascribe something like that to me.

Stepka seems like a really nice woman. I doubt she is using anything for attention and drama. I think her questions are genuine.

Accusing someone of a "manufactured" dilemma and your subsequent remarks does seem somewhat demeaning.

Though perhaps you are not familiar with her through other posts.

You should not be using the word "demean" in any form as you aren't using it correctly. That's my guess anyway because I can't believe you would continue to claim that I am doing that on this thread. It's an outrageous accusation.

But this guy's motorcycle is...a tricycle. A really tricked out model with custom paint, and chrome, and etc.. I know you know what I am talking about.

I am having a hard time getting past the silliness of this vehicle, and how ridiculous I would feel riding on one of those. I want to be honest and explain why I am not feeling the interest, but I fear this is a shallow dealbreaker. But to be fair, this tricycle riding seems like a HUGE part of his lifestyle.

Anyone want to tear me apart for this?

ETA, just looked at more of his photos and he apparently has more than one of these things....


I don't blame you a bit.
