Seriously?? And they're looking on here?? Haha! Now THAT would be a funny ad on HERE!! ACtually, I mean "around here" as in where I live in New Jersey. Wanted: your eggs Description: looking for a female sky-god with a very good arch and average fall-rate. Having the head-down gene is a bonus, but not necessary. Should adequately fill the front of her jump-suit, have a filthy mind and be able to hold her drink. Will pay 2 jumps tickets (negotiable). Please call xx with your applications.

Seriously?? And they're looking on here?? Edit to say: ok now I'm feeling a bit silly.. You probably meant near where you live & not on DZ.com, right?

remster?(cause you know how he loves these man porn threads) Nope! I will offer one little hint: think about the length of the shorts & when that length was last socially acceptable... And boys: feel free to send more contributions so we keep this thread going

I'm hesitant of Capital One. I had 2 Capital One cards, and even though I never missed a payment and used it very responsibly, but my credit score kept sucking. It went on for 3 years. Come to find out that Capital One has a rather predatory tactic with their reporting standards - when they report to the Two Credit Bureaus, they report your balance for your total Limit - E.g. I have a Credit Limit of $5,000. I used my card and bought $300 in Jump tickets, and then they report my CC Maxed out at $300. They may have changed their practices since then, but I was very upset. That doesn't make sense.. Have you ever gotten a breakdown of your credit score?? Maxing out on your credit card does nothing to lower your score provided you pay it off in full and on time.

Skittles has too much ink to give us a pic that wide without us guessing it's him right away. A very good point.. "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

There is no way this is skittles.... OMG that made me laugh!! No, it's not Skittles! "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

Farmer tan, cut off shorts and white as a ghost....I say that has to be billyvance... A good guess, but not correct "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 don't ever want kids but at the time was perfectly capable of having them. No part of being a parent appeals to me. I always found it sort of cosmically unfair that people exist who want nothing more than to have a child but can't and there I was just wasting eggs. This was sort of driven home (but not what made me decide to donate) when a friend (not who I donated to) was in a car accident when she was 9 months pregnant. She lost the baby and her uterus. I never understood why people who couldn't get pregnant didn't just adopt, but I guess adoption can sometimes take longer and cost more than finding a donor. Wow.. That's pretty incredible. If I may be rather indiscreet, did the money factor into your consideration at all? Again - no obligation to answer.. What you did was amazing money or no money.. Good for you

YAYYYYY!!! We have our first submission

Hmm.. So if we're really cynical, this would imply that women hold the purse-strings & this is why they are encouraged not to like themselves physically? Interesting.. Over-simplified, yes.. But I'm sure there's an awful lot of truth in that. Again - playing the devil's advocate.. If technically men earn most of the money (because women take time off to have babies, etc.), one would think men would be an obvious target for this sort of thing as well?? Note: Please don't take offense to the inference that men tend to be bread-winners.. I think it's statistically pretty true in general.

Well, someone had to do it!! I still have no takers, but am eagerly awaiting a response

Wow.. See that's quite interesting.. Out of curiosity (I'm sure you've been asked about a million times) what made you decide to "donate"? "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

Sorry to pee on your parade, but having many credit cards generally *lowers* your credit score.. You probably did yourself a favour by dropping the additional credit card. You would probably be better off asking your current card to increase your credit limit rather than getting a new credit card. Be careful about how much you shop around as well.. Every time you apply for credit they do a credit check on you. A couple of credit checks won't hurt you, but getting *several* credit checks done within a short time-frame can lower your score as it's considered one of the behaviours that signals financial distress. You can go to a credit-rating company (like Equifax.com) and they generally have very good tips on improving/maintaining/ruining your credit. You can also pay a very small fee to find out exactly what companies see when they check to see if you're a safe bet and get a breakdown of what you have done to earn your current score.

Ok boys.. I know it's asking a lot.. But the girls need entertaining as well!!! So here's what you do: Send me a Cropped pic via PM of your pack.. Can be the Full Monty, covered up, or if you're really shy you can just send a chest picture. (Bonus points for Full Monty irrespective of size/shape!!) I know it's been tried in the past, but I also know you can do better than 3 pics!!! Come on boys.. Be brave!!!

Sometimes you have to give a little too!! I think we should have "name that pack" for the girls to enjoy!! I know one was attempted in the past but there were very few pics.. Any volunteers?!!

That is only true if you are bad at managing money or have lots of cash!! The fact is that having a credit card is one of the quickest ways to build your credit - PROVIDED YOU ALWAYS PAY IT OFF IN FULL. The key is to treat your credit card as though it is a debit card (ie: never spend more than what you can pay off). My friend who is 50 has no credit history whatsoever because she has always dealt with money only. This meant that when she wanted to raise a loan for only £3000 everybody refused. She couldn't believe it because she's always been extremely responsibly, never gotten into debt, etc.. But she's off the radar and by default an unknown is a risk. But yeah.. If you're bad with money.. Stay away from the fuckers because it's one of the easiest ways to get into debt as well..

Wow.. They must screen quite heavily? "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 would vote for either Mastercard or Visa.. Which one you pick depends on the current offerings of each, but for me they are universally accepted, whereas many other cards (Amex included) don't work even in major European countries..

Ah ha ha!! Sorry to disappoint, but I'm actually French-Canadian and have always had *excellent* oral hygiene Even 4+ years of living here hasn't corrupted me

Normally I would put this in the women's forum, but I'm very interested to hear the "male" perspective as well.. It's my personal view that implicitly women are encouraged to have a low opinion of their physique. (Please note, this is *my* personal opinion.) What I mean is that from a young age, women are told that they *should* like their body and not feel bad about it, etc., etc.. In a way, I'm sure without meaning to, I think all this focus on the negative socially conditions women to think they are normal for feeling bad about their bodies. Or put another way, that in fact it's not really normal for them to *like* their bodies. This may be a bit controversial, but I think women are very supportive of someone who says they *don't* like their body, which somewhat contributes to perpetuating this whole self-deprecating cycle.. Again, playing the devil's advocate, nobody really likes it when an attractive girls boasts about how pretty she is or how she likes her legs or bum or whatever - it's like she's rubbing it in people's face somehow.. (OK, obviously nobody *does* like a show-off, but I'm sure an awful lot of people instinctively cringe at the slightest sign of self-confidence..) Personally, I think what makes women beautiful is so many things.. And it comes in so many packages.. And damn it, I *love* the way I look!! And I know that I'm slim so it's easier for me to say that, but I still find it a bit weird that so many women I find *gorgeous* either don't feel that way or are afraid to admit that they secretly *like* their body! Am I the only one who is compelled to rebel against this social need to feel ugly?? Do boys feel this pressure not to like themselves too much?? Whoa - this is a long post!!!!
