and what matters is not so much what particular painting you two paint, but whether you do it together as a couple, with love and care... or whatever attributes mutually nurture you two. Just so you know, Carol's and my few sojourns into "the scene" have turned up nothing particularly uncomfortable despite our fears and concerns before hand. In fact, my net assessment is "A bunch of adults playing dress-up adult games" -- nothing particularly creepy or even intimidating. Don't get me wrong, I can sympathize with the discomfort... not so long ago that was me. But in hindsight, there was never anything to be uncomfortable about. For the most part, the people we've met have been nice, kind, courteous folks interested in helping us newcomers settle in -- just with a bit more black leather than most *laughs* Much the same as any "Biker" event.. Some of the coolest, friendly people you could ever hope to know. Just being there gives you something in common with everybody else, and something to talk about. Yeah, you'll run into a few posers all dressed up to the "nines". But sometimes they are fun too! I'll never forget sitting and talking to an older couple at a bike rally. They were fun people. Turned out they had never owned a bike. They had a big ol RV, and liked traveling around the country, dressing in the leather and hanging with the bikers.. Who's to say that's wrong? They sure liked it.
