Traveller, sorry dear. I don't do lessons. At my age, a woman gets impatient.

We are not all that bad Ivinia, but like the writer of the article......Caroline and Traveler and all the other impressionable junior high school ladies can keep Fnord and Taurnil Mithrandir with their flashy smiles and bare hairy naked chests.... we are a surprising delicacy that only truly civilized and refined "ladies" can rightfully appreciate!

So we will have to look elsewhere to be truly appriciated Ivinia!! 8-)
We should not settle for the [s]rabble[/s] Plebeians to come and appreciate us. [smiley=devil_smiley_grintail.gif]

| Deleted User | Hmm- thanks for reminding me that Taurnil also posted his photo a while back, and that he was pretty damn good looking too...
...so - Shadow - how can we comment on you (r relative desirability), if you never post a photo, hmmmm?? :-*
Ok, ok - I admit it. Men's looks simply don't matter to me, honestly - I mean that-... er.. ok, wait- not to be a total humbug here: As long as he is not a total dog with only one tooth left in his mouth, and, err..- well- within certain bounds I don't care; - but when it comes to friendship, I really don't care.

:-[ ..um..
..buuuuttt...- then she still at least likes you enough to take the time of day to talk to you, eh? It's at least a step better than having her make some excuse such as that she is emigrating to the Amazon where they have no internet or telephones....

Nah - girls like me tend to be cowards. If we pick the phone up and hear it is someone we don't want to talk to on the other end, we tend to just quietly put the receiver back down again..... [smiley=boggled.gif]

Oh, but I didn't mean you, Shadow. I was just talking about those cases where women feel they need to run in the opposite direction when they see a particular guy.
So... to get back onto topic. I personally feel quite sure you'd be hired on that boat for your culinary skills, as the chief chef. From what I've heard in the past, your cooking sounds yummy! Do you like making dishes that are are good for the figure too? You know, organic, health-conscious types of food?

I've NEVER heard Shadow boasting about his culinary skills. :-/
Talking about getting away from men, however, I do recall when I was 17 at a disco giving out a false phone number to shake off a persistent older man. He had the blackest front teeth of anyone I'd ever seen, before or since. Probably a pirate. I thought it was the best way to save his face in front of his companions and mine, who frankly, were terrified of him and his buddies. I did warn him though that my mother wouldn't like me going out with strangers, yet still he persisted.

You must have missed all his posts giving out recipes and talking about food, and about his life's dream of becoming a world-famous chef and opening his own restaurant...

Yip. That is exactly the kind of man I was talking about. The kind you give a false name, address, phone number and country to...
The biggest fright I ever had was when I saw a man like that had followed me all the way home. I pretended not to live there and walked on to the corner, and then I started running... [smiley=scared.gif]
Lucky running always used to be my favourite sport - it's saved me quite a few times already...

Status : Offline | Know the feeling well Traveller. At age 12 an in school uniform, I was followed by an older man and I ran across traffic to put some extra distance between us and get away from him. Finally managed to run like the wind but the B*****d chased me even though he knew I had spotted him and was running. I doubt he'd have left me alive. >

I've had enough bad experience with girls on boats to last me a lifetime, so don't try to drag me into that darn thing (and let's leave it at that), plus i'm 10 years too young.

What's that supposed to mean? That you're 10 years old? <_<

The cap'n said she preferred them 35 and older, but the rest of us rebelled...
There's too many worthy males of about 35 and under the age of 35 around to have a silly ruling like that one...

So I never bothered with this thread, since I'm quite happy with how the forum looks. Today I was a little bored and found out what I missed.
From now on I want a PM from somebody when a thread in Off Topic goes off topic!!

But you're totally right Colpet - it has gone off topic and that lovely luxury yacht seems to have wandered off-course too. [the captain reasserts her authority over the rebellious passenger - Traveller]
Traveller, dear, we obviously want different things from our cruising holiday experience. I'm looking for conversation and companionship and for me, that involves enough age to give a man some perspective on life, not to mention decades of witty and amusing anecdotes to entertain me with.
Let's have a boat each. You can have Shadow in your kitchen (good luck trying to stop him from bringing foodstuffs into your bedroom) and as many hot young men as you can recruit and I'll have a crew who can remember the 70s, won't mind dancing to the music and still remember all the words.
Perhaps we can meet up at a few of the more popular spots for lunch and a bit of retail therapy?
