Thanks for letting us know, Gav. I've changed my email address to another account now.
Great thread! Thanks for the laughs.
They're as real as you want them to be. If it bothers you, it's probably safer to assume all the women here are men. You can't go wrong that way!
My avatars are always of other women, but I choose professional photos to make it obvious it's not me, rather than someone else's amateur shots.
I voted for the Rubenesque choice as well. It's classy and more subtle than some of the others.
I love hairy chests and stomachs but as soon as men start sprouting nose, ear, back and shoulder hair, that's too much for me.
I'm not really into fancy restaurants. I'm a simple person, in many ways!
In the past when I've been at work and he's had the day off, he's had dinner waiting for me when I've walked in the door. That was always a nice surprise.
I much prefer casual over being waited on. The idea of someone standing beside our table playing the violin while we dine would make me want to use my fork for things other than eating.
My first two children are sixteen months apart and I ended up thinner after the second one than I was before the first one. It takes a lot of energy to run around after two little ones!
Congratulations to you all!
If I like what someone has to say in the forums, I usually click on their profile to see if they've written any stories.
I also get to see some gems pop up through moderating, so that's always a bonus.
INTP for me.
They have a finely nuanced ability to analyse situations, find root causes and foresee consequences. They distrust action taken too quickly without the necessary investigation. They are usually levelheaded, objective, impersonal yet intensely involved in problem solving. They are fiercely independent, seeking input and comments from a chosen few. When reporting to others, they need to establish credibility first: their own and that of the person they are reporting to. If the gap in knowledge and expertise is too great and their own proficiency dismissed, belittled or ignored, they will lose interest and motivation.
They are less interested in running the world as they are in understanding it. They are curious and capable of explaining complex political, economic or technological problems, taking great pleasure in explaining all the factors and intricacies. They are rigorous with their thoughts and analysis, choosing the exact words that convey precisely what is meant. They may spend a lot of time defining words, concepts and systems in order to define a problematic solution.
They are armchair detectives, scientists and philosophers, spending most of their time in quiet reflection to ponder truth, and solve mysteries. They may tend to neglect social requirements and responsibilities, finding many relationships to be too superficial to be of much interest.
It's pretty accurate, apart from the sentence in bold. That's not me at all!
From the list I chose "The Holiday". I could listen to Jude Law talk all day long.
My favourite Christmas movie is Love Actually.
At most I drink a cup of coffee a day, and some days I don't have any.
I usually drink green tea, but that has caffeine in it too, so I'm not sure how I'd go giving up caffeine all together.
