We are theoreticians.
Making a quick stab I would say about....er...26.Depends on the night.
Have you missed me?
Of course! While I shuffled the maid around, picked up the
child, supervised her homework, I did get a second in there
for you

Average age 26? I thought so!
Where was your last trip to?
Around the Trivia thread with a bunch of lovely lassies.It's dangerous.
Why do I have this effect on ladies?
Beats me!
What effect are you talking about?
The effect of making them feel they are in the presence of someone almost as charming as one EM.
Why are you two conversing in this dark corner of the pub without asking me first?
I'm not as good as I used to be due to surfeit and the lack of challenge.All I know is that once I got my eyeballs fixed she was as good as pinned to the mattress.I have more sense now.
Have you?
I should hope I never gain too much sense, then I'd be ready to die.
I have to get back to work--(terrible this week)--
I hope you two can keep yourself occupied nicely without me for awhile?
:wink:
EM.
Just before you go.The ladies decide who is the most charming.
I sense some insecurities here.
Remember the 5th?
On the 5th day of Christmas my true love said to me.
What did she say?
"Grow up"!! were her exact words.
You defied her, didn't you?
Defied who.Me?Not me.You've got the wrong man.
I co-operate.It's foolish I know but something makes me do it.
Do you know what it is?
No! I didn't think you do it.
Why foolish?
That would take far too long to tell and my eyelids are aching and I have to be up and at it in the morning and despite the something that makes me do it I have to bid you adieu.You are very witty.You would have coped in a salon in the Fauberg St.Germaine in the 1880's.You might have been a hit.
I bet you would have liked a try wouldn't you?
No I wouldn't. Yes, it's awfully late in your neck of the woods.
Good night!
It seems you like to live in the past?
Live in the past? Be Here Now is my motto. But it doesn't hurt to learn from the past and let the grapes from the past experiences and lessons age in you to maturity, like a fine wine.
To Spendius re: The Ladies decides who is charming?
Very true words my friend. But a woman who speaks the truth to you will drop the hint that the man who is absolutely confident he is Grandmaster Sexxxay, and if he isn't too immature and arrogant about it, and if he truly gives her genuine respect and earnest communication, well he starts to actually become attractive just from this belief, in their eyes. So after all, you have a choice in the decision also, by choosing how you conduct yourself toward the ones you are really interested in. Take that and run with it in the pub. Read it again, it will serve you well. Trust me. Believe you are charming, be truly charming, and many (not all) ladies will tend to agree...
Past, Present, and Future. I guess we live in them all, a bit...
Do you live primarily in the future?
No! I live for today, and that's damn hard to do. The mind
tends to wander either in the past or the future. I have
to remind myself every day to enjoy the moment.
It is like a tourist snapping a picture of a beautiful scenery,
and then goes home and looks at the photo he took.
You understand?
I understand it on paper and in theory, CJ. Very true.
But its a continual challenge to actually do it. Time flies by...

What do you do when you notice the time flying by in your life too fast, and you're bogged down in petty concerns of work, and you look out and see a beautiful golden sunlit afternoon, and your body aches for that?
I carry on working because i'm just that sad
Thankfully i have 3 very loony best friends, 1 of whom is like me and
understands that at times i
need to work.... but the three of them come pick me up at random times and take me driving and camping and other such random things so i get sunshine occasionally

*feels homesick*
Do you prefer summer or winter?
It's all the same to me.
(EM-Why would I want to make myself attractive?All you get from that is trouble.And it's just posing anyway.There's another aspect too.When I do take an interest in a lady it is her magnetic qualities which cause it and I can't do anything about it.And ladies find that more complimentary than any pose.
Eebies (abreviation for Eager Beavers) bore ladies.They like enigma and mystery and magic spells.They like to test you out with rebuffs and haughtiness and stuff.The very worst thing you can do when rebuffed is turn your attention to another lady.Both will notice and if you do ring the bell it is desperation which does it for you.I prefer to work on the pherenomes assiduously.Target the enigmatic mysterious Goddess look-a-like and concentrate.They can't resist that the little loves.If that beach is barren talk football betting.The "any port in a storm Charlies" allow women to be un-ladylike and get away with it.One can easily end up with the Goddess look-a-like as rare as a Lady's Slipper Orchid and as irresistable.Mme de Chasteller did that to poor Lucien.You should engage Stendahl sometime.
Have you not read De L'Amour?
