I did have two lesbian housemates back where I lived in rural W NC. One of them always said she had a "gaydar".

The lesbian population has been extremely high everywhere I've lived so far. As high as 99% of the women.
(If they won't make eye contact with me and just hurry away, I figure they must be lesbians.)

Hey, thanks for finding that!
I always imagined Stimbo as really freaky looking because he used to have that avatar of the Joker, lol. Nice to see the man behind the screen name!

Long story. Apart from nine perfect years, I don't exactly have the best luck in this department. I accept I'm not prime alpha material, although I am trying to learn, but discovering I'm also not alpha female stings a bit. Sorry to be so cryptic but it's all mashed up my head right now.

I just saw Parker Tan's video too. Holy smokes, you guys sound/look so much nicer than it comes off on here!
Pleasantly surprised for sure...

Oh and thank you for your nice words about the video. I do truly appreciate them. Incidentally it wasn't the Joker in my avatar, it was Conrad Veidt as Gwynplaine, the Man Who Laughs.

Sorry to hear that. Judging from your video you seem like a nice man with a good personality. I hope some good fortune comes your way soon.
