I don't do it so much with new threads (though perhaps I should), but I quite often do that when replying to posts, normally when I get to the end of what I've written and decide to go back and re-read what other people have written to make sure I didn't misinterpret anything.
Personally I quite like looking at pictures of naked women, but I'm equally happy with clothed pictures if they're on an ad here. To be honest, I don't mind adverts with no pictures at all, so long as the text is saying something interesting.
I'm not particularly keen on extreme close ups or 'action' shots on an ad, if that's what I want to look at then there's no shortage of those sorts of pictures on the 'net, most of them taken by at least semi-professional photographers with decent kit and some idea of how to take a good photo.
Well I have to admit to being completely flirt-blind, pretty much anything other than 'so do you fancy a shag then' will probably go straight over my head.
I somehow suspect that had I been better at reading people's intentions I'd have had a lot more shags over the years, instead of large numbers of female friends who tried it on, thought I wasn't interested (even though I was almost certainly trying to work out how to flirt with them, also a skill I don't possess to any great degree), and decided that I might be a half-decent mate instead.
I blame going to an all-boys school, it took me at least two years after I'd left before I could converse with an attractive woman without turning into a gibbering wreck and staring at my shoes.
Strangely enough, I remember an almost identical question at a party I went to a few years ago in Bristol. I can't remember what answer we came up with, but since the person who raised that point lives in the valleys I did have to do a double-take on your avatar to make sure I wasn't about to reply to my former housemate.
Hello and :welcome: to SH
Just out of interest, were you meeting her at the place you mention in the other thread you started today ?
If so, I think you might just have found the reasons you weren't able to rise to the occasion.
As others have already mentioned, whenever it's happened to me I've resorted to other techniques and it hasn't taken to long before my tackle has caught up with my mind. :twisted:
Hmm... better see if I can type this quickly before the post gets locked.
Obvious Question:
Isn't SH good enough for you?
2nd Obvious Question:
Assuming it isn't good enough for you, what makes you think that people who're happy to use SH are going to direct you somewhere else?
