    And now we've come full circle. My first and foremost point. And.., this is going on personal experience alone as I've never felt the need - heck, never knew there was a need to take a poll; but, when I engage in sex, I'm not thinking "I get this all the time" or "it's so easy when everyone's trying to please me" or ... anything like this.

    It's not like life is so easy - getting a date, getting a job, getting opportunities. In fact, I'd argue that most of those "hot people" who get by so easily, don't even realize they ARE getting by so easily. It's just 'life' for them. That's just the way it is.

    So, everything they do, the decisions they make, are not based on "I can get this so easily cuz I'm so hot".

    And, I'd go out on a limb and assume that when they are having sex, it's just like all the average or not hot or even ugly people having sex and they are engaging in the activity using their feelings - not some stupid thought that "I'm so hot so I can just lay here and moan."

    Jenee is as smart as a box of rocks usually, but that's exactly what I was going for in post....I think somewhere between 7 and 12. I'm look lazy to look it up.

    And I've heard that from many of the men I work with, both here and my previous command that a lot of pretty faces and ones that get hounded for sex all the time don't measure up much of the time. Sorry, but true. :shrug:

    ETA @gul hit upon it a few posts up, and no @Jenee , not every hot person is bad in bed. My only ultimate point was that people don't change what works. If you're pretty and can get guys buying shit for you without lifting a finger, you'll do that. If a guy is an asshole that can pick up chicks with his assholishness (see also: Tucker Max), he'll do that.

    You probably aren't a super model type, so of course that's not an element of your experience.

    I guess it just comes down to the expectations of each partner. If one thinks just because someone's hot they're going to be great in bed, one is probably setting oneself up for disappointment.

    No, but I am human. and my statement was based on the experiences of being human. Why would you base your opinions of actions of super models otherwise?

    Oh, I don't know, maybe because we are discussing specifically the subset of human beings to which super models belong, and the rest of us don't? This whole damn discussion and your failings in it stem from your inability to see these parameters. Anna made a statement that specifically did not apply to human beings in general. Go back and read it, keeping this one point in mind.

    It's never a good day it seems. Your skin is thinner than...I don't really know. I assume you've been flayed or some such. You're easy. You dance like a bitch to the faintest touch. And you're on staff which is a volatile combination.

    What did I say in my second post? You said I misunderstood. I said possibly. That was the end of it as far as I was concerned. Then someone else brought up the point of ... people from high school.

    What is it you wish me to say? I questioned. You answered. I acquiesced. The subject has been more than thoroughly discussed. And, now you want to continue to berate me on something of which I've already acknowledged misunderstanding in the first place.

    My favorite? Watching ladies buy caramel macchiato frappaccinos from Starbucks with EBT. I hope you enjoy that tasty beverage with my tax dollars, shit head.

    More fast food places are now accepting EBT, including Jack in the Box and the Burger King closest to a FB friend of mine in Texas.

    And people wonder why the poor die of obesity. :jayzus:

    And if they were stupid enough to eat it they must have dropped out of school in the second grade.
    We covered this many times. Nobody puts a gun to their head to eat certain foods and every fucking convenience store in this nation also sells fruit, bread,
    eggs, etc. etc.

    All true...but not to excuse that, but I know growing up, the amount of food stamps would maybe cover thrre outta four weeks to eat the way everyone should,, and we'd get $1 Whoppers till the next check came.

    Luckily, in San Diego, many grocers are trying to remidy this and the food desert epidemic by opening up ethnic grocery chains such as Northgate Hispanic foods in poorer neighborhoods. You've also got Fresh and Easy that is similarly priced to Vons and Albertsons but with organic and locally grown produce, and many of the farmers markets here accept EBT as well.

    Remember, it's not classism if it presents with passivity and apathy.

    I don't necessarily agree with that all the time. I have been with a bunch very attractive women, who were excellent and very participatory in bed. Most women I have been with were. I was fortunate as young man to be considered attractive.
    But there were a few times I knew I was less than spectacular, sex is singular in that you are "in the moment" it doesn't matter you were an "animal" last night.. it is the right now that counts at that imd... really great sex is very mental. it is not cliche to say the most attractive part of a woman is her mind. A willing, excited and adventurous partner is an erotic delight
