The Time I Got Counter-Clocked

[BellaBellucci]

Bella, I have to say I'm delighted with your conciliatory attitude...you're right, there are no easy solutions.

I'm really not the person you seem to think I am. I'm highly empirical and opinionated, but also educated. I don't go looking for a fight, but I don't generally back down from one, either. I actually care about things enough to argue about them and hopefully guide discussions to logical conclusions.

We're not always going to agree. Sometimes I get frustrated when people want to talk, but not listen, but other than that, I'm a very reasonable person... except when I'm around unreasonable people or other chaos. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Please forgive me when I feel the need to get harsh - usually, it's just tough love.

What was there for me to gain by telling that Thai stripper or my friends that I like Tgirls? Absolutely nothing. But there was plenty to lose, starting with my privacy.

So why would I, or should I, put myself into a position where I can only lose?

it's an interesting defense, but it proves you don't see transsexuals as women, because what difference would it be to saying "yes, i enjoy the company of women"

also, when you say "privacy" do you mean seeing transsexuals is a private matter, or seeing escorts/prostitutes?

i don't know man- but i think you shot yourself in the foot with this thread. imo, you've got some serious damage control to administer- but you can always cross your fingers and hope something else happens to distract everyone from this blunder.

Bella - you don't argue, you debate with passion which I like

Those of us who dare are free to live the life that we must.

We should all live the lives we should for ourselves.

I apologize about my tone but I envision a world where I'm not a dirty secret, and it's probably never going to happen, I know, but I'm still gonna tell y'all that you ought to be working on it too.


I mean, really, you're in a seedy strip club with friends, and you aren't talking about sex?

Id like you to be my dirty everything

And the reason your profile doesn't contain your real name, photo, and city you live in is because...

if it did, what would that mean? and how does revealing my name, photo and city have anything to do with how i interact in the real world?

let me give you an example. you know anthony weiner right? so, he says he loves his wife. everyone knows his name, the city he lives in and his face. do his actions still prove he loves his wife? would it make a difference if we didn't know his name, city and face?

btw: shouldn't you have quoted the privacy issue i addressed? you'd have had a better case- and made my rebuttal a little more difficult.

How does my decision to keep my interests private from friends and family have have anything to do with how I interact here?

[bluesoul]

you're the one that brought it up

[Prospero]

NYsprod... why are you telling bluesoul off for not having his picture up when neither do you... unless you are the gorgeous girl in your avatar? Puzzled.

The only thing I brought up was the o.p.

I'm not telling him off at all..it's actually the other way around as bluesoul called me out for my decision to keep my lifestyle choices private from certain friends and family.
