Are there any other women in The Lounge?

No, no, no - never, ever take the time to look! If you do, that counts as "hesitation" and will be counted against you. Instead, train your brain: I am no longer even aware of the question. My ears receive the sound "Does my bum look big in" and my mouth has started to answer automatically. We now refer to this as "Does my bum look big in this No!?" as in extreme cases I can answer the question slightly before the question is finished. This is an acceptable time period for Herself and many other ladies. Any perceptible delay will lead to accusations that you think the lady is over her optimum weight, and things go downhill from there pretty rapidly regardless of what you do or don't say or do. Learn this skill! Practice with your mates! It could save your love life! :laugh:
If you don't look its the same thing as saying its bad . Normally you should get the response "But you didn't look". Which is worse because you don't pay "attention" to her. Imagine that Your Herself is wearing something really bad that adds more shape to the problematic areas. If you don't follow step 3. After the evening you will be blamed that you didn't say anything. Either case you lose. I will advice you to tell that she is looking good but will look better in something else. That way it wont hurt you that long if you leave her with something that looks terrible on her

It's difficult to tell. Ask my wife.
I did. She says she doesn't care because the postman always comes twice... ;P

That is a particularly difficult question as some of us are coming in to our second childhood. I don't think CM collects age info on the profiles, and probably doesn't care as it is not a factor in the value of the contributions.

Many of us are quite timeless, while others are long past their use-by date. Some appear to be reanimated corpses; many are of uncertain gender, or, possibly, frequently change gender. CP has a few hundred-thousand larvae: their names always begin with "Member," and are followed by a number. They migrate in the late autumn as the days shorten, and nights lengthen, and can often be seen roosting in cell-phone towers along their migratory path where they are, evidently, warmed by the radiation. bill
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts. Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Not true: the first thing you should know is how to answer the question "Does my bum look big in this?" A millisecond of hesitation can result in a world of pain...
The correct response is: "Yes, it looks great!"

You are lucky, if I delay OR fail to look I get shot down. :sigh:

-- Lying to a police officer is never a good idea. -- The uniform trousers issued to police officeresses always make their bums look big, no matter how sylphlike they are. Let's face it, we're screwed.

Just wondering. Are there any other women of a certain age in here with more that a couple decades of software behind you? Also, what is the average age of Loungers?
