Dangit, why don't I have MM's number?   I'm starting to feel left out.


Reality check, ladies:  If a man talks to you for any reason other than pure business purposes,
and continues to talk to you for more than...say....20 seconds....he has SOME interest in what
you have that's covered by normal clothing.   And is wondering what it would be like to nail you.


Truth.  20 seconds.  Or often, even LESS.    

Any time a stranger tries to meet you,  he's already THOUGHT about that and has decided to
jump into the game and hope you want to play.


That shouldn't be a great revelation.


However, most of the time,  nothing happens along that line of inquiry and a friendship of sorts is
a very likely and often very satisfying result.    I'm friends with many women who have not shown
any sexual interest in me.    And bitter enemies with one or two who DID, once upon a time.  
I really hate that part.


No revelation here, either:  Sex changes an existing relationship.  And not always for the better.


As for late night phone calls,  make sure that it's not a misunderstanding relating to people being
in different time zones.   And usually, it's sufficient to ask the caller to keep the calls within your
prescribed time limits, in the future.  

Communication works wonders.  I suggest you try it.

Wow.  Y'all have a pretty piss poor opinion of men.  

As for these phone calls?  This is not exactly the norm.... and these are all relatively new friends so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they just didn't know.

Aim/J,

Our conversations and what was TRULY said were between you and I.  Had I realized before we ever spoke that the distinction between two people having a private conversation and you broadcasting whatever you supposedly recall was said was a difficult concept for you to grasp I would have never extended a friendly hello when life had beat you up in the first place.
