Re: by the way

I can't speak for turtle.. but I would speculate that he respects them very much... when they respect themselves and him. Is there truly anything more that a person could ask for than mutual respect?

To be perfectly honest, though I may cringe at the forcefulness of how turtle and Dissident have chosen to say what they have said.. I do agree with the message that they are trying to get across. Females dressing in a manner that is intentionally sexually provocative is an invitation for men to respond. No, it's not an invitation for rape or sexual assault, but it is an invitation for attention.. and for men who are in no way short on courage, more than just looks. The problem is that females dress that way, knowing the message that doing so puts out (no pun intended), and somehow actually believe that it is their right to expect the men to do nothing more than look (and not too long or hard!!) and never actually come on to them.

I'm sorry, Sophia, but this is simply the reality of the situation. If a girl goes out dressed like she's ready to party hard and have a good time, that is the message that men will tend to get. Take your signature as an example -- a girl dressed like that is sending a rather clear message that she is sexual and wants to be seen as such. If she is then offended or surprised when a male responds to that message by approaching her and inviting her to have some fun (make of that what you will.. because different guys will mean different things when using those exact words), then she clearly needs to rethink how she chooses to present herself.

On a personal note, I find your signature picture to be quite attractive.. if you took the cigarette out of the picture. I like girls that are confident and like to have fun.. but not girls that smell like ash trays. *gag*
