Looks like the post was deleted, presumably by Matthew as the most quick and direct way of removing the picture from the forum (which everyone agrees shouldn't have been posted in the first place).

Edit: Also, congrats on having a positive turn in your life, SonShadowCat. I was hesitant to congratulate you on such a thing since it sounds kind of patronizing, but if you are happy and want to share then that's great

No, ML deleted it because he doesn't like me. He's mean.

Looks like a real bitch to me.

Considering the current usage of that word, I am offended. A dog is a very loving and loyal animal, not a bitch. Chris, I hope the two of you are happy.

No I was not and am not.

I must say it's a weird experience to be with a woman who, by all rights, should be way out of my league. I asked her out on a date and now she's planning the whole date as a surprise.

I must have done something right.

She hasn't seen my "John Thomas" so that isn't it.

That doesn't actually change a damn thing.

I didn't say it was. He keeps asserting that she's out of his league and expressing confusion over it. The thing to keep in mind is that women find different things attractive than men. What is attractive to women is predominantly wealth and power. Looks don't hurt, but they'll take an old, wrinkly blob of fat with millions of dollars over a muscle man with job at McDonald's and a bus pass. As long as you look like you can support her, or help support her lifestyle, she will likely find that attractive. Whether she plans to rob you in a divorce, exploit you in marriage, or just live happily-ever-after in relative luxury is anybody's guess. At this stage she's probably just trying to figure that out about you for herself.

I've read that some beautiful women actually have that problem of men, especially regular men, thinking they are untouchable, so the only interest they get is from insincere jack ass players.

If you are a decent, reliable, non emasculated wuss, you are likely to attract and keep a woman you'd normally consider out of your league. That can sometimes be part of the appeal, you're not likely to "trade up". Hard to trade up from a beautiful, sincere, loving woman.

Good lord people. Is this really what we're talking about?
