Capable…Of What?
Bacchus said that he was leaving you dear readers in my capable hands. Trouble is, he didn’t say what they’re capable of.
I’ve been sick, and I’ve been bummed–that’s why I haven’t brought my hands around here for awhile. I’m bummed because both contenders have been scared off–at least, that seems to be what’s going on. Turns out one was married, and when I said I didn’t have any problem with that, as long as we weren’t going to be keeping secrets and playing games, he vanished. Contender Number 1 hasn’t exactly said bye-bye, but as we got closer he started making comments about the difference in our ages…I think that squicked him more than he wants to admit. I’ll be surprised if I hear from him again.
So, it’s a good thing I put out that request for product information when I did. Maybe my “capable hands” can handle one of them without losing it. (And many thanks to all who’ve chipped in with an opinion!)
Rather than leaving on a depressing note (I’ll get over being bummed soon enough), this poem by Katriana is quite nice, and gets me warm in a lovely way. Hope y’all enjoy it too.

aphro is a champ, she just needs a contender willing to get into the ring with her ;)
It sounds to me like Aphi needs a big desperate clingly guy who’s absolutely desperate for female companionship.
I’m not saying I’m that kind of a guy, I’d need to check with my mommy first.
Of course he ran off when she said she didn’t have a problem with seeing a married guy as long as there weren’t going to be games & secrets! If a married man can’t keep his girlfriend segregated from his wife (or maybe even keep the girlfriend a secret entirely!), the girls might like each other more than they like him. It’s an insecurity thing (or possibly a cheating thing!), which doesn’t surprise me at all.
i can’t understand this. i’ve had a few (limited) experience with married guys, and it seems like your straight-up, no-games approach is exactly what most of them (claim to) fantasize about. why would that scare him off? i guess i still don’t understand men….
I don’t understand it either.
I think Lilith nailed it — no games was fine, but telling the wifey about it was too much.
John, I don’t want a clingy guy — a big, self-confident guy who likes to explore sexually will do. Age, hair color, ethnicity, all that stuff of much less concern.
Does your mommy say that you fit the bill? ;)
Well, I’m big and variably self-confident guy, but I’m only 26 years old and girls are so scary…
:blush:
That and database designers who may be more competent than me at database design are kind of intimidating. And completely anonymous people statistically likely to be on a completely different coast can also be a problem.
Definite yes on the exploring sexually part, though. Some highlightable quotes from recent explorations:
“Oh wow, there’s a bone in there!”
“I never knew some girls shaved their bottoms too!”
“You really think I have enormous balls?”
“Well obviously I’m really, really scared…”
:blush:
Wow, thanks for the referrence!
Glad you enjoyed it.
:)
Sorry to hear about the contenders…
What do they know anyway?
You know, “I’ve been bummed” means something quite different to speakers of British English!
“Trouble is, he didn’t say what they’re capable of.”
And how, dear Aphrodite, am I supposed to know what your hands are capable of? Hmmm?
Come a little closer and find out…better yet, bring the Nymph along and we could create our own bacchanal. :D
