Odal:
No other Pintsize lovers? She's totally a cutie imo.
DSL:
I figure at some point during the checking-out, once it's obvious the woman's noticed you, it's good form to at least smile, wave or look away, unless it seems that introductions are in order/welcome. This is another human, after all. But I'm even rustier at this than Marten is.
As for the poll. I picked Raven, figuring her business cards (with all the modes of contact spelled out) and the legion of "cute dorky boys (who play D&D) who will treat you like a total princess if you're a hottie who gives them the time of day" would shower her with cards and chocolates, not to mention her own pairs of 12-sided dice.
Marigold would doubtless get tons of greetings from Warcrafters who realize she's a girl'n'stuff, but I assume it would be mostly online and voice messages. Would they necessarily know where to send cards and heart-shaped boxes of Pocky?
Also about the poll: Pintsize is a girl? What'd the Pugnacious Peach DO to him with/since that last toss?

Are people's world-views so limited that this is all they can think of? Or are we just seeing a whole lot of immaturity being waved around?
--- Quote from: westrim on 14 Feb 2011, 00:22 ---I never got the "Look at me!"/"Don't look at me!" dichotomy of how women present themselves and dress in public
--- End quote ---
Now this is a more interesting matter. There are two aspects to it: (1) How often is the desire to be ogled a genuine reason for the style of presentation, as opposed to the interpretation put on it by the opposite sex, and (2) How much is it a truly free choice as opposed to an expectation foisted on people by advertising, the cult of celebrity, and the other manifestations of the big money machine that is the dark side of our supposedly enlightened age?

...so I guess we should just DWI.
--- End quote ---
No, you should never do that. Drunk driving kills and nobody wants a DWI on their record.
...Oh you meant "Deal with it."
I agree that that's what we should do.
I don't expect that to happen.
Carl-E:
That one took me a minute too, even though in these parts it's called DUI (driving under the influence) rather than DWI (driving while intoxicated).
As for dealing with it, we are. In our usual hyperbolic way.
