Do you have a crush on anyone here at The Planet?

Ah, the first scenario was essentially an example of my practical approach to all things. Whilst I'm a natural romantic at heart, I'm also practical so, until my dream woman who combines sexual allure with high domestic skills, I'm prepared to compromise around the edges i.e. a woman with sexual allure (in which case, I'll order take-away food and go to launderette) or a domestic queen, in which case I'll just lie back and think of England or, in my case, Ireland.

Good thing is that even when you get results you may not have been expecting on the first try, simply try, try again. Seems as though someone up there has quite the sense of humor.

I've just prayed again

I've asked God to grant me the ability to take a woman to heights she's never previously experienced. I was confident God would answer my prayers and he already has. Alas, it's that I've remembered that I'm bringing a friend to Mount Lyell in Yosemite later in the year

But is the friend a celestial domestic being sublimely combining skill, poise and prowess? I suppose being on an adventure at Yosemite, her domestic talents might matter not, more on the lines of hunting and gathering, fire pit skills and wound care. And certainly the 13,000 ft that Mt. Lyell boasts might certainly be a new height...unless she's a sherpa. (Sherpas often have such baggage.) LOL!If so, you may have to work a little harder.

Just remember the air thins out quite a bit at the elevation.

Have a fun trip!

ps: I'll pray again too, for good measure.

No, I don't have a crush on anyone here—and I would admit it, even though I live with someone. I do of course have my many "femme crushes," and I feel like I'm starting to have friendships here, or some cyber equivalent to what a friendship can be.

Um. You've given me quite a lot to consider. Two things in particular. The first is what I'm looking for in a femme. Until now, I was under the impression that it was just sex appeal and highly skilled domestic abilities. Unfortunately, I now realise that I also need someone who can do the manual work and, importantly, protect me from bugs and insects and such like. For example, as a metrosexual, I cannot risk damaging my nails by helping to erect a tent or to carrying heavy loads. No way.

My ideal femme will hopefully do all of that stuff .... I don't believe in rigid gender sterotypes where the "guy" does all the heavy work and the "girl" does all the other chores. I'm simply happy for the girl to do all of it.

The second thing is more of a concern - whether I'll be able to "put up" in the heightened altitude. If I don't have the physical stamina, I'll need to either a) disappoint or b) feign a headache.

Bleu - your prayers are much appreciated.

I've just said another prayer to God where I've asked him to bring me a woman who is a "looker". However, I've a really strong Northern Irish accent so I'm now concerned that he thinks I want a women who is a "lurker". Time will tell .......

[BoiJen]

It's been so long since I've had a crush... I probably wouldn't know it if I got slapped with one.

today i'ma crushin' on yotlyolqualli's bravery...

Even Plato, in his Republic, was an early proponent of the division of labor...
*sigh* More prayer might be in order.

[ferret]

Hmmm....Not a crush but perhaps a mild interest.

Yes, but Plato was Greek and look how their economy has turned out - there's very little labor there to be divided up .....

I'm definitely in favour of more prayer so if you can say one or two (or ten) prayers for me, that would be much appreciated. I've sometimes been told that alms can work very well in lieu of prayer. Therefore, if you would like to give some alms too, please let me know and I'll send you my paypal address.

For me personally, I like a sense of humor, witty and thoughtful conversation, compassion, a certain brashness and confidence that attracts my attention to their crushability. You will have me there crushing on you in a heartbeat.

awww! i didnt know you were crushing on ME! i knew there was a reason i liked you!

[Mr Nice Guy]

Hi Crushers, hope your day turns out to be a good one. Who's Ivan?

minus 3000 points to you for not knowing about one of the only culturally available butch or trans icons for femmes to crush on.




you might appreciate these too.

[Mr Nice Guy]

Well that's ok. I have enough points to go around. besides I don't look at Butches and I'm not Femme so maybe I'm just out of the loop. Or just old.

as a butch it is your sacred DUTY to insist on butch and trans icons for your femme friends to crush on! you're all surrounded by a cazillion examples of femme to crush on every day. femmes dont get the same luxury. so you all need to become famous so that we can google you, watch you on youtube and the telly and put posters of you up on our walls! be the new hot teen crush! or at least do a racy calendar for the older crowd will ya? all respect to chaz bono, bear bergman, jack halberstam, kd lang and leslie feinberg but they just arent enough to go around! we need more public representation of butch and trans guys to get all dreamy eyed over!

[Mr Nice Guy]

I don't have any Femme friends in my real life. It's never worked for me. Feelings can sometimes get in the way. I have Femme friends here and it's safe. No worries about another Butch getting jealous.

so that's a no on the calendar thing then?

[Mr Nice Guy]

Well no, I'm always willing to meet anyone and be friends with anyone. I'm just always on guard until I know it's safe. Sheesh, it sounds like I'm afraid of Femmes. Lol
