And yet, you admit that you can't differentiate between pictures of women and actual women.

Blah blah blah. The good old days. Some of the ******* comments bashing me mercilessly when you people don't even know if i upset women or not on recent pages are kind of pissing me off.

Who said that? I said that staring at pictures of women gets me in bad habits.

I'm pretty much the same way, attached or not. I've been harassed before and now I am cautious about how my behavior affects women.

Right now, I might be in an on and off relationship...

Looking at pictures and interacting with actual human beings are things that most people find to be completely unrelated activities.

Mind your manners.
I don't assume she's interested. That's what I'm trying to find out often when I glance/look/state. I know it's a bad habit.

If I'm to treat every woman the way I want a gay guy to treat me, then I'm never ever ever going to get to date. Based on your posts, I suppose what you want. Even better if my unworthy self disappears off the face of the earth.

Some of the ******* posts on this thread make me wish I hadn't posted it, even though I've gotten good information from other less judgmental posts.

LOL!!! Time limits


Hey, as long as she doesn't die on me.



But I wasn't thinking about the women. This was for men. If a woman stared at me until the end of time, I'd be happy with that... I think.

Unfortunately, I get a lot more stares from men than women so I just have to brush that off.

I don't know, I had one of those tough days where my bike takes a dump on me. I'm ending up having to walk about 10 miles or so to go get a rim from my storage to switch out. My bike is working again. I may be a little incoherent.

I do take a glance or two and just go on with my business. Now I admit, I have been caught. I haven't really gotten any negativity from it. I just went on with my business.

I wouldn't stare unless she was acting weird, or I caught her staring at me, like that one lady at the bank, today. (No she was not a teller nor did she work there) She was sitting down somewhere and she turned her head and fixed her eyes on me. I was tired from the whole day and I'm not even sure whether I smiled or not. I hope I did.

Come to think of it, I am getting a bit more glances than usual today. Probably because the clothes I'm wearing is showing just a bit more skin than usual (I've sweated out my other tops and I feel icky in those). I swear, y'all girlies are just as bad as us.
