Shame on me for not wanting to hurt the man's feelings??? Aaaaaaaaaaaaarghh!
So fine not your thing but why bash it? age play for some people is what they are looking for, and if that is what floats your boat and tickles your fansy great! For all of us that know it isn't for us awesome :) but no need to bash what they are looking for.
I'm not bashing anyone's choices. My beef is with the fact that 'no'doesnt appear to be recognized as an answer - no matter how diplomatically it is delivered.
Apparently the standard response to 'no, but thank you for the offer' is 'are you sure? are you really really really sure? Is there something I can do differently? Can we negotiate this??' This is typically followed by a lot of whining.
Has it become outrageous to expect that an answer be respected as the answer?
sorry...I may have accidentally driven off the trail. Back to our regularly-scheduled topic !
