How many of you ladies have "rented" yourself?
Nataly replied to warpedskydiver's topic in The Bonfire
Yeah, I think I "get" the gist of your poll, and I'm not at all offended by it. I do think some women use sex as a currency. But the whole "we-pay-for-sex-indirectly-anyway" argument is unfair IMO simply because the circumstances that create the financial inequality has nothing to do with sex. So if women *do* use sex in exchange for "stuff" it's perhaps in part because they can't access the money in the first place, and not because they are secret whores.

The sad thing about your response is that for years women had a low earning potential, so eating out meant the guy would naturally have to pay. The association with paying for a meal and then deserving sex is terrible, especially when you consider that most women would think eating together means "getting to know" someone better. Inequalities in pay do NOT mean that when you get out the wallet you are indirectly paying for sex - it means you can afford to pay for diner and she can't. Things are changing anyway and bills are more or less split 50/50 nowadays.. Does this mean the sex is now "free"? Or that women are paying men for sex now?? Come on.. Paying for a meal is paying for a meal. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss -

I am especially fond of my nose, my ears, my arms and my abs!! No one else seems to notice these features, however!! I think most people like my bum. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

I think if someone has already pointed out to you that they thought you were buying too many tickets, you have already come across as an asshole. Unfortunately, perceptions matter a lot. *Technically* you are not doing anything wrong - whether it's a big deal depends on how much you care about what your colleagues think of you.

Yes, sexism happens.. But statistically most wreckless driving is carried out by young teenage boys.. And sexism happens both ways.. If I had to guess, I would say that on balance women get discriminated *against* more than the other way around. I've only been pulled over once. By an MP on a military base. Reckon he just wanted to know which room I was staying in because when I got arsy with him about why exactly I was being pulled over he couldn't come up with anything and said I was "driving suspiciously"! Yeah I was driving slow - I had a cop car following me for about 8 miles at 10 miles per hour (in a 10mph zone)!! Creepy..

Overall, fucking amazing year

Today, I am taking the last of a series of painful accountancy exams. In a couple of weeks, I will finally, finally, FINALLY be a Chartered Accountant

Oh no it doesn't! If it were true love, HE would find a way!! His dialing hand was probably too busy stanching the blood from the tooth he broke on the cherry-stone. Can't believe I've been caught out..! Well, I've always thought if you maim your pray and it can't escape, it's bound to love you in the end.. Ever seen "Misery"? I think Stephen King got the ending wrong!! He clearly loves her, really..

I called my mobile phone service provider and this is what I wanted to do: 1-Move my contract to pay-as-you-go and keep the same phone number. Simple, right? Well, they said since I already had another SIM card that was already pay-as-you-go, I could move my number across to that card *and* keep the existing credit on the alternate pay-as-you-go SIM card. I thought this sounded reasonable, so I said yes, go ahead. The result? My contract has been cancelled, my phone number no longer exists, and my £15 of credit has been wiped out of my pay-as-you-go SIM card!! Fucking brilliant!! I should have known that anything vaguely complicated was going to get mucked up!! Meh.. I'm sure it's nothing a few dozen phone calls to customer service can't resolve!!

Don't go anywhere. I'm bringing my laundry over now... No, no, no... The application to be one of my man-servants clearly states that part of your duties is to do *my* laundry, and not the other way around!

I'm biased because I have washboard abs!! Clearly hot!! But up to a point.. A bit of definition = hot.. A LOT of definition makes a woman look masculine.. There is a balance to be struck IMO. Too much into the bodybuilding strips away the very thing that makes a woman feminine - lovely, lovely curves

No.. I could have just gone and bought a cake, but I like baking and I thought home made would be nicer. I'm afraid not everything I do has a sexual sub-text involving me getting dressed in a French Maid uniform and saying things like "sacre bleu"!!!

All right, let's get to the point: who did you bake it for, how did you fall for him, and why won't he call you back? Well, *technically* it's not my fridge... I've been staying at my friend's. She shares a flat with her cousin and it was his birthday. She mentioned she felt guilty because she didn't have time to buy him his favourite cake (black forest) and I said I would get him one but then I thought why not just bake one since I have the time anyway. He was pretty happy, which made my friend happy, which makes me happy!

I've traveled the world with little more than small suitcase holding just a few items. It doesn't take more than a few minutes for me to pack and I'd be comfortable doing it before leaving the house on the way to the airport. What's the big deal? I mean, unless you're scaling K2 . . . so what? Yep.. A few minutes before I need to leave for the airport. No biggie.

It does seem childish... Then again, you can always publically respond, presumably? I once did just that, but only after repeatedly telling the user to stop PM'ing me bullshit messages.. Sometimes blocking is the only way.. The mods do not like it when you respond in a public forum with things that should have been done via PM. Is it really worth the time to bitch about another person being so childish? What you all need to do is have a few beers and then post a few fun threads. I need reading entertainment and you are all slack asses today... Yeah, I wasn't saying they should vent out personal issues in public - just that if a person doesn't have the balls to tell you something in the forums and they are out of line in PM's, to me it's a good reason to block them. It prevents cowardly bitchiness. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
