Hi Broken Cowgirl,
You should have a read of this thread: http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postst21993_Stolen-Work.aspx
He wasn't so "smart" when originally registering his real details...
Maybe write to him, or go and see him, ask him why he thinks it's fine stealing other people's work?
He's changed the whois information in the above linked thread, to a fake address in the USA. Which means, you can write to his registrar, tell them he's using fake information in his WHOIS details now.
That site has been abandoned from the looks of things.
Him, and people like him, basically steal stories by scraping all the big erotica sites, and then put them all on their sites / APPS etc, piggybacking off everyone's hard work.
There's nothing much you can do to stop them, they do it programmatically. We do what we can to stop the copy and pasters, but the professional thieves, it's next to impossible.
I'm not wasting my time chasing shadows. Registrars, hosting companies, the thieves, tend to totally ignore complaints. The good thing is, it doesn't matter they have the content, they have no traffic, search engines know the site has ripped off others, and they'll be empty vessels.
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about them.
Nicola

Did you just say that a redhead is not a real turn-on if she is not good looking? Do you mean that you think red hair is hot, but if the girl is not hot as well, then red hair is not hot?

sounds like a jerk.
also, people should never ask things if they know they cannot handle the worst case scenario.
and you NEVER ask a woman how many she's slept with/done stuff to. that's just opening a can of worms that should never be opened. whether or not she is loyal to her significant others at the time is the only thing that matters. if she's clean and what she did in the past stays in the past, that's all that should matter.

Musically?
Food wise?
Habit?

Those of us who work outside & with their hands dont always have the option of nice well manicured nails.
I do my nails once a week sometimes more if the time allows. I also make certain they are clean. But the reality of living on a farm is that I USE my hands everyday and those nails dont stay nice through moving hay & cleaning stalls!

I know at this point you can't see it, but it seems to me that she was hanging onto you as a "backup". Yes, it's painful, but the sooner you can see the games she's been playing, the sooner you can move on. Get out and do some things just for you, not looking to meet someone new, but just to make your own life fuller. Then, when you least expect it, you'll find yourself functioning fully and smiling and ready to meet someone that will cherish you.

Is it just me or do some women just not like a man in uniform? When i say uniform. I mean the Firefighters and EMS guys. I'm pretty sure that women love a man in a Military uniform.
I'm a Volunteer firefighter and some girls i talked to. They dont like that im a firefighter.

Thank you everyone! We've not set a date yet as we need to balance finding a venue, our photographer friend being available, etc etc. Very excited though!

Well sure, some guys are jerks.... but..... in all honesty MOST of these types of questions are not gender specific. Change men to women and you will get the same answers only in reverse. But I would present that in these types of questions "some" be added to the question, because in reality I have not seen a single one be truly representative of "all".
To answer the question in general though, I don't think it has to be an issue of someone being a jerk/bitch. I think it has to do with human nature and feelings. It is a wonderful idea that "honesty" makes everything ok, and that it just smooths over feelings and emotions.... but it does not. We can TRY, but we are human. And often times I see people want understanding and forgiveness, as well as grace, for things they present to their partners, but if it was reversed chances are it would not go over so well. It all depends on what side of the situation you are on.
But yes, choosing the right partners and true compatibility helps.
Of course, each situation is also different. So it is hard to apply a general answer to a vague and truly unknown situation.
