ewwwww..... naa sex with someone wearing socks is ... just weird... just like they might have to leap up out of the restraints at any moment and do a runner... which, of course, is even more potentially worrying, if the person wearing the socks is the one doing the tieing up and not hte one being tired up

"Sex with chicks in socks is hot"
Is this the title of Dr Seuss' little-known foray into 'adult' literature?
I used to get the bus to work every day, and sometimes there was a very striking young woman with long red hair making the same journey. Nothing happened or was going to happen, though she was a very welcome and pleasant addition to the scenery.
Then one day I saw her sitting on the aisle seat when the window seat was empty - effectively preventing anyone from sitting down. I really can't stand it when people do that, unless they've got a very good reason like a leg in plaster, heavy bags, or are getting off at the next stop. Maybe it's just a little thing, but for me, aisle seat hogging is indicative of a general attitude of selfishness.
She never seemed anywhere near as attractive after that day.

Maybe she had some unseen disability, like an internal injury, which made it painful to shuffle along. It's a bit like when people hate seeing disabled-badge-users who aren't obviously disabled; some of these people have debilitating conditions which just can't be seen, or perhaps are fit and healthy but are picking up their disabled mother. Don't judge by appearances!

It is also possible that someone had just left the window seat
and she did not feel comfortable about skootching over onto
what would or could be a hot cushion. Or worse. She may even
have been aware of something else on that seat that she did
not want to sit in.
I'm afraid you MAY have jumped to an erroneous conclusion and
sadly your prejudgment might have cost you the person of your
dreams. Proving the main theme of this thread, never judge by
appearances or first impressions.

On the other side, I'd say that if I see someone acting with what seems like selfishness, bad manners, rudeness, I'll find them less attractive straight away. Looks are only skin deep. People's minds are far more important.
On the whole disabled badge thing, I don't assume. If they have a badge, they can be there. It's the ones with no badge I cannot stand. How rude, selfish and self-centred can you get? Oh, about that much, fair enough, I hope you end up disabled so that you can see what a pain in the (_!_) you are!

... enjoying the discussion
re the disabled badge thing. We're due to have a disabled bay painted outside our door for my wife. Whilst we've been waiting, I've put up three signs requesting people leave the space clear for disabled access (we have a real problem with cars parked by the 3 car dealerships in this street). Quite often the signs are ignored. When I've confronted the drivers, some feign blindness regarding the signs, a couple pointed out that they're not legally binding, a couple gave me dog's abuse and one wanted a fight! About half apologise and don't park there again.
Why do people get so defensive and abusive about leaving space for the disabled?

No one really likes getting caught red handed, and might get defensive.
Have you considered that those 'feigning blindness' might actually be blind? That would justify their parking in the disabled spot.
Hmm, there's something wrong with that... Cannot quite pinpoint what though...

parking is a ... word I can't mention... I bought this house you see.. came with parking... only I am not allowed to use it, because* I am disabled and can't drive myself... for the first oo... nearly ten years I live here, fine, parking for residents... then the council change it to some mental thing, where you've got to register a car number plate, to get a parking permit. two shops close; they can not have staff to work in the shop if they can't park within five or ten miles of the shop, so they closed, and I no longer have a house with a parking space, as I can't personally drive myself, but due to my disability its sometimes quite useful to be able to buy things from shops I can't get delivered or need to go see, and which need collectin gin car... only I can't have someone drive a car and park it at my house. But, that's fine. same period the country went entirely mental and decided to block each and every pavement in the country with six bins outside every door. I can't any longer walk down the street. thanks. yeh... diggin that joined up govenment idea.. too many thick people in too many high up jobs.. but socks... naa... definately still socks

""5) Sexist"
If a man refused to date women who are sexist, he'd be single all his life. Every woman I've ever met, no exceptions, considers it acceptable to make sexist jokes about men. It's pointless to even complain about this."
Quite a few of my female friends consider sexist jokes about men just as unacceptable as sexist jokes about women because to think otherwise would be grossly hypocritical. C'mon Twig, as generalisations go this is weak even for you.

Also, not all men like to date women. I wouldn't date a sexist woman and I get dates somehow.

You're right, that would make them massive hypocrites.
And I've never met a single woman for whom that was a problem. For many, the justification is that men have been sexist for centuries, so it's OK for them to be now. It wasn't a generalisation, by the way, it was an observation.

"I've met only women who are sexist, therefore all women are sexist." That's how it came across, and so it seemed like a generalisation to me...
