It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.Quote:

I started taekwondo when I was six, so that's how I was raised. I've only really been in three (four if you stretch your imagination) "real" fights in my life, one time a very scary old man burned my little brother with a cigarette when he was nine and I was fourteen, another time I stupidly jumped into the fray when my friend Steve was getting beaten up by two native guys (bad idea, VERY bad). I've got a "smart mouth" though, so I get attacked sometimes, haha. It's never been anything, light as air - you'll find that in the "real world," very few people actually know how to hit, and actually they're very rarely willing to do so. The vast majority of people really don't want to fight, so they'll usually just say "f*ck you," and walk away.Quote:

I've always thought that was the case too, but now I'm not so sure. If I wear my hair in the style of that goof from twilight I get girls screaming and drooling at me from all sides, ranging in age from 15-45. I think its more a matter of standards. Men usually have lower standards regarding sexual partners than do women, due to the fact that a woman can get knocked up and the man can just jet. I believe that women ultimately want men as much as men want them, you just want more than merely someone to have sex with.Quote:

I'm here to tell you, gender assumptions will bite you. A couple of years ago I was standing around the water cooler with one of my co-workers, engaging in a little chit-chat. She asked what I did over the weekend. I said, "Ah, I was just doing a little work on the T-Craft." (I owned a little airplane back then.) She asked what kind of work, and I went into this dumbed-down version of how to time a magneto. I didn't mean to be condescending or anything, and I consider myself an enlightened kind of guy who was just tailoring his conversation to his audience, but it quickly became obvious to me that this woman knew airplane engines:
Her: "What kind of engine?"
Me: "Ah, you know, these things have 4-cylinder, air-cooled, engines."
Her: "I know, a Taylorcraft usually has an Continental A-65. What's yours got?"
Sancho is starting to feel like his train has just jumped the tracks, "Mine has an A-75. The extra 10 Horse Power is nice, but my top end is so loose I'm probably only getting around 50 horses."*
Her: "Ha. Yeah well. What kind of mag?"
Me: "Eisman."
Her: "Old. What's top dead center on that engine?"
Me: "Well, it's weird, one side is 28.5, and the other side is 29.5, I don't know why."
Her: "That's because..." and she tells me.
I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to a dude. "So, what'd you do this weekend?"
Her: "I had to change out the PTO on my tractor."
Me: "What kind of tractor?"
And so it went. (Turns out it was a Kubota L3240)
And just to clear up any other assumptions, I'm here to tell you, she definitely was not gay.
Sorry 'bout stepping on you, K. Looks like we're posting in tandem.:driving:Quote:

A good friend of mine has her welding ticket. This other girl I know who is gorgeous as Venus works as a fire-fighter and once did a season on a commercial fishing boat in the waters up North. At my kickboxing gym there are women who kick the bag with far more force than I, and I've got pretty darn good kicks.Quote:

But she's a woman, I thought we were all putting on an act of treating her with seriousness because men must humor the flimsy passions of women. They are so very delicate and fragile afterall.Quote:

Rylen started laughing and tossed me a knife, and I proceeded to practically climb right inside of the animal and slice it's thoracic organs from it's ribcage. I made it extra gross too, just to freak the kid out.Quote:
