Hi Tabitha,
> Perhaps our 2 days are up. Starting to get complicated. ;-)
Yeah, ok, if you say so. Sniff.
> So are you OK if there's a dog in the room? Just... watching?
As long as he/she doesn't say anything. I don't want the dog giving me advice on lovemaking. :-)
(a former secretary has funny stories to tell about her dog, her bedroom, and her various boyfriends).>.... but do you actually feel "weird" for liking smart women?
Remember the "bad boy" syndrome so many women have? I have always felt weird for liking women more for their minds than their looks. I had a girlfriend once who was on the low end of average looks who was smart, nice, and fun. My mother was on my ass every day because "she wasn't pretty enough and nobody cares about how smart a woman is" .... (Well, I ignored my mother and that girlfriend eventually dumped me). WAY TOO MANY times people are pre-judged based upon looks, social class, job function, etc. I broke the protocol, so I was the odd one out.
>How about feeling a little pride that you're not completely shallow?
I grew up dysfunctionally. I don't know what pride is or how it feels. All I know is how others appear to accept me and my actions.
> So, Ted, just one more question...

> Do you still respect me?Of course I do. I never disrespected you.
