Some get offended by a guy commenting on a female's physical appearance and calling that sexist. I guess I am sexist too because I love hot guys. (And I certainly wouldnt kick Angelina Jolie out of bed)Of course, I like Steve Buscemi too. Go figure.

Indeed. HuckleB Jan 2012 #8
And how often does that equipment get used for a few weeks, then gather dust in said bedroom? pink-o Jan 2012 #25

Maybe ridicule was a little harsh, but it certainly is condescending. Sorry, I guess amyrose2712 Jan 2012 #47
It wasn't meant to be condescending, either. GoCubsGo Jan 2012 #49
I guess, like I said, you just hit a nerve. And maybe I read too much into it. amyrose2712 Jan 2012 #51
Seems you aren't alone in that regard. GoCubsGo Jan 2012 #52
Yea. I guess we all have buttons. amyrose2712 Jan 2012 #53
