I hate feeling hurt because strangers don't want to sleep with me.

I don't think it's a case of needing one's ego stroked.

I very much empathized with WhisperSecret's intial post, because my name only showed up twice, and very late in the thread at that. I read it every day wondering if someone had picked me. It brought on a whole range of emotions each time I scanned the new posts and nobody picked me.

I went from "I'm a sexy as xxxx is," to "Maybe I should flirt more," to "I knew I shouldn't have posted my pictures," to "I'm glad they recognize my serious mein for what it is," and a dozen other thoughts and rationalizations.

My ego is fine, and doesn't really need any stroking. However, it does feel good when it does get stroked. I'm childish enough that it rubs my ego the wrong way when I'm not included in things. It brings back memories of being the last one picked for a team or project. The fact that I learned to deal with that feeling at an early age doesn't keep me from feeling it.

Being the type of person I am, my list if I had posted it would have been one word: "Nunya". That's nunya as in "Nunya damn bidness"

I do have a list of people I'd like to get to know (including in the biblical sense,) but I'm not going to post it now, and probably never will. I will say that I have a fondness for small oriental women, and find Reubenesque women comfortingly attractive. I like the look of blondes and redheads, but have generally chosen to date women with darker hair.

It may be irrational for a recluse like me to feel slighted because he wasn't picked to be part of the herd, but it happens. I just don't let it bother me when it does.

Carl. What can I say that won't sound like it belongs on some corny greeting card? I'm surprised, yet extremely flattered to be on such a short list. And I'd much much MUCH rather be seduced than just fucked. <hugs you>

Hey, WH... I'll stroke your ego anytime, Babe!

You know you're one of my "Lit Men", and you always will be...

EOD

Whisper,

I apoligize if my reply on closure made you feel threatened that was not my intention. I was just stating my opinion and trying to back it up with reason.

This board is all out of fun and laughs.

WHISPER SECRET



I'm still just sat here smiling.

 

[Whispersecret]

Sierra, no problem. We're cool. <points to herself> This is me, feeling fine. A little tired, but fine. As usual, I should be in bed, but I'm here feeding my BB addiction.

Roger, you silly. At least come sit next to me while you're smiling. I am pretty. It's just that some people only see cute. I was a knock out the other night in my red Chinese outfit with the Mandarin collar and the black frog closures. And my hair was KILLER. Heh heh. And hubby didn't tell me I looked pretty, but about ten other people did. (I threw him a 40th birthday party.) HOWEVER, he did give a very touching little speech in which he praised me very highly. <preens> It's funny how just a few words of appreciation can really make you feel loved.

Look at her there, grinning all over her face!

So, when are you puttin' the pics of you in this hot Chinese outfit up on your profile, WS?
