" You don't feel tense or angry or bad-tempered?"This wasn't in the litany. By now she ought to have been entertaining mewith amusing anecdotes about ...y early childhood, such as the time mumleft me in the pushchair outside Timothy Whites and came back to find itsurrounded by people listening to me belt out 'Tulips From Amsterdam',or when she was berated by the headmistress during my first week ininfant school for teaching me to read when in fact I'd taken care ofthat inconsequential little task. ..missy!” in response to my latest piercing, my helix, I ran a little chain from it to my earring, drove his ass crazy, but I didnt care, the girls thought it was hot.I was making progress with at least two of the lovely cashiers and was willing to just ignore him much of the time,even though it was hard to as he seemed to always be watching me, but it was just a matter of time I guess until we bumped heads, so it wasnt surprising when on a particularly bad day, his wife, who I learned without.

I had had more sex than on my honeymoon 30 years ago. It was certainly a lot more than the two years preceding my divorce last year.

A women's attractiveness to men is something built into us by millions of years of evolution. I can't help what I like and don't see any need to accommodate anyone who doesn't appeal.
