Thanks. Seriously though, I lose a lot, so much that I go through stages where it gets shorter rather than grows, then my hairdresser gets tough with me and evens it out. We put layers in last year, which I like but the shorter layers can curl up super tight like bangs when just cut of when my hair is happy. I miss really long, happy hair. But I still LIKE my hair. It's something that is 'right' for me. Straight hair on me makes me feel dishonest.

I feel like we've talked about this.
I don't wear makeup. Or, not a lot if I do.
I don't feel dishonest if I fix up, though.

You know, I really did hope I'd get to understand cockatar motivation.

From what I've seen as an explanation, many men think this is what they have to offer in terms of sexiness. They think, "women can post sexy body parts, what sexy body part can I post?" They inevitably think the dick pick is the way to go. They forget that men have parts that are sexy that don't involve their genitals. Some guys just want as many people as possible to see their cocks.

Some people do like seeing cock AVs, so I guess it works sometimes.

As a man I have never understood how some other guys think it is a good idea to send or post a dick pic. I am not prude by any means but I'd like to think I know what is and what is not appropriate, or even more importantly what is going to attract a woman in a positive way. In most cases it is NOT a dick pic. Only one time in my life did I ever take a picture of mine and then send it to a lover who requested it. In my real life I hear stories from women all the time of men who have sent her a dick pic. That man then becomes a laughing stock, a creep, and sometimes these girls are just grossed out. Do some like it? Maybe so, but that is not the reaction I ever hear about. Sure we guys like that kind of visual stuff, but because we may request that of a woman, or appreciate it when we receive these photos from a woman unsolicited, that does not mean it works the same way in reverse. Whenever I see a dick pic or something similar here, I am assuming it is a guy trying to attract other men, and that is cool, but as far as attracting women, I just have to say these guys doing this need to get a clue.

My experience at least, some can certainly disagree!

I like dick pics.
I don't like cockatars.

ETA: Please don't take this as an open invitation, men of lit. I meant what Elle said.

My hypothesis for some/most cases is that it might be a convoluted result of poor self-esteem. Sort of like what Meek said.
'Well I want to show myself off but I don't have bulging muscles or shoulders twice as wide as my waist...so what else do women want to see? Oh, I know!'

One of the men I consider a friendly acquaintance here sometimes has beautiful avs, pictures of his hand, holding a mug maybe, or something. He has lovely hands. I have no idea what the rest of him looks like but I enjoy his hand avs and they are beautiful. We very occasionally pm I would have looked less at his posts had ig been a penis portrait.

I often wonder if DGE gets women smiling at himthtough the ether . He is very well put together. I was very clear when I first messaged him to make it clear I was not coyly flirting because I imagine he could get s fair bit of that. I just think he is a lovely and funny person with warmth, seeing he is rather nicely put together is part of knowing him a little. But also nothing to do with why I like him.

whete as the things I am moved to feel about in my loves are perhaps unpredictable. Not just very lovely bits but the tired bits, the non standard fittings, the bits maybe not boasted over are the parts that surprise me because I find them the best bits.

I actually kind of skated around that with DGE when I first got here, too. i saw he had fans. We have a good friendship, almost siblingesque, and his girl is one of my best friends.
This didn't stop whatsherface from calling us his bootlickers, 'cause, ya know, attractive people can't be platonic.
I like his AV, too. Good Halloween material.

Calling somebody a boot licker isn't much of an insult here anyway.

I was insulted. As was Elle. As was DGE.
This girl was poking at him and his "fans" for days.
It got tedious.
Poor thing didn't get the attention she was craving I guess.

I don't think I skirted around it. Pretty sure I would have said something like ' I like ya, but like you like you. So any way, I am pming because.....'


Where as when 'I last liked a boy' it took me a long while of self doubt to act on it, a bit of life evaluation, some warming up. Then I got into the old routine a tiny bit of just saying ' I like you like you, is this ok ? ' i didn't used to be so cautious. I think I even have winked and inclined my head towards the door in the past . Youth IS arrogant.

But FUN!!!

I think it is a self esteem thing. And a lack of creativity really. I also find that sad, because men have much more to offer than a hard cock.

And if there was someone here that I was going to flirt with, DGE would be at the top of the list even without the AV. I find bootlicking to be disgusting, but I can make exceptions.

I don't find it disgusting. I don't think.
But the girl was poking at him, and it had an edge. A sharp one.
I called sour grapes.

I know the one. She only pops in to complain about all the drama other people bring. Yep, it's aaaaallll those other people.

I mean actually licking boots. All those germs!

 

[Cakecups]

I agree, DGE is flirt worthy nice AV or not, I tend to not hold it back tho

 

[Cakecups]

I wonder what boots even taste like, I bet they dry a mouth out
