"Oh, all these girls like me, but the one I'm really attracted to seems to hate me! What do I dooooooo?"

2. Don't fuck the one who isn't attracted to you.
How hard is that?

Seriously, you have said, bluntly, that the older one isn't into outside contacts. Judging by the tone of your letter I'd bet good money that she isn't into you ... you just think she is, because, hey, you're so cool so she must be hot for you because in your mind, who isn't?

Everything in your letter, including wording and cadence, reminds of a girl I knew in undergrad who was certain I was gay. I wasn't the slightest bit interested in banging her and only gay guys didn't wanna bang her, ergo ....

Or maybe the younger woman just likes the push antelopes around. Being the big bully that she is.
Posted by Some Old Nobodaddy Logged In]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:03:58 -0800 The Stranger rong should also include not fucking up existing coupled relationships just because you don't like who's available but prefer the one who's out of bounds. Oh ... no pouting or sulking either.

The print edition of the Stranger used to instruct readers who wanted back issues to send a self-abused stomped antelope along.

Now, be a deer and run along. . .

Opportunist douchebag = opportunistic douchebag. Nothing poly about it.

it would be criminally negligent for you to ever spawn, under any circumstances.

otherwise, no one really gives a shit what convoluted perversions you engage in.....
