Anna - next month the local goth night starts again here and there is NO way I'm missing that :cool: :cool: :rose: Elaine (black fluffy tigress with black stripes :cool: ) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?
Some goth acquaintances were at a coffee shop one day and when the girl behind the counter asked why they were all dressed in black, one of them replied, "We're protesting pink." I wish I had been there. :-D I'm not really a fan of goths, as I've met a few I liked and lots that I didn't, but I really like the music. _____________________ "So in the interests of survival, they trained themselves to be agreeing machines instead of thinking machines.

I don't know what you are talking about... *cough* :rolleyes: Bah, you know you're just jealous! :-D Paul Watson wrote: I find him a bit too efeminite in his looks to be attractive Each unto his own I suppose, though I do prefer my men (oh god, wrong choice of words too) to be a little effeminate as they tend to be more interested in interesting things and capable of holding a decent conversation that doesn't revolve around fantasy-based sexual conquest. Paul Watson wrote: If I had to point out attractive males then Pierce Brosnan, Mel Gibson and that guy from the West Wing I don't know of the latter, but you are certainly right about Mel Gibson - he is a classic good looker (which is odd for me 'cause I tend to only find younger people attractive). - and Pierce Brosnan, well, he does make for a good James Bond...

Some people are just more capable of expressing what many people choose to bottle up; or so it seems to me. Paul Watson wrote: David definitley crossed the line, he even wanted to ride the same bus. Saying that though there is nothing wrong with it, David can like whoever he wants to like, just as you can. Also you must not be part of the problem by pointing out things like that, you are almost defending him which is not needed because we are all mature, intelligent people I am firmly of the conviction that I am far too young to understand my real sexuality yet (or I should say sexualities as their is evidence that we go through many prolonged phases), so I just enjoy making with what I've got. I can go out clubbing of a morning and not have to deal with social stereotypes, just people I like and whom hopefully like me back. I don't see anything wrong with that - as you said, we are all mature intelligent people - even the local interbreeds know what they want (if not much else). I think people of both sexes should go out at least one night a week and just interact with a bunch of people with everyone wearing balaclavas, bodysuits and voice neutralisers, maybe then other people will understand this point of view. It may surprise some people to find I do actually find some females attractive to the extent of being attracted to them, I've even shared what could loosely be called a legit relationship with two of them during my impresionable school years, and likewise 50% of the time I could say the same about the other sex. I am not gay, I am not straight, I am not even bi-sexual - I am me. Life's about having fun with each other not forcing yourself into categories. However I don't see how it is possible to be attracted to an actor or other person that you have never met as there is no personality behind a picture - nothing to be attracted to. Sure I may find Mr Wood attractive (again a wonderful choice of words), but I am in no way attracted to him. My comment about holding the bus was a joke. People get crushes on such people which is nothing really more than self-pitying admiration. Sheesh, all this and I only wanted people to comment on this guy's eyes! :eek:

Suffice to say my friend never spoke to me again, latent homosexual for sure but he just could not deal with it (big rugby playing guy, all the girls liked him, very smart, well dressed, went overboard in perving over women (a feint) but oddly never actually had a proper man-woman relationship. I hope he has got to grips with who he is by know.) I think you are right, and bloody brave, to admit all of this.
