You sound like my twin! Feel free to add me -

bump - thanks!

@T7OMFD: Not good enough is not the point - you should probably read the guidelines for posting on these forums. I imagine a moderator/administrator will be explaining that to you shortly.

Based on the original poster's last comment, it's beginning to look like that was the whole point.

I find that offensive. First, I do not subscribe to the idea that all people have to view members of the opposite sex (or whatever sex they are normally attracted to) as potential sexual partners. This is an idea that many believe because it has been repeated over and over again by pop psychologists and because it fits…

I respectfully disagree -- I have had long-term friendships with several men -- I just reconnected with three guys I worked closely with 30 years ago -- all three were adorable, smart, cute, and really nice guys.

Could not have said it better.

Wow -- that is *such* a big moment! I have to admit, I dread flying now for this reason - I still "fit" into the regular seats, but I need a seat belt extender much of the time. Imagine my embarrassment when I was lucky enough to get an emergency exit seat (I'm very tall) and found out that if I couldn't use the regular…
