Ah having a daughter. Nature’s ultimate poetic justice for any man.

It is. But I wasn’t a pig by any stretch so hopefully there is no serious poetic justice awaiting me.

Hmm, looks like I could carry concealed. But then I think about how long it takes me to find my phone when it’s ringing and I despair of getting my attacker killed in time. I’d still be yelling “Help! Help!” and employing my unusual goose-stepping stride. lol[/quote]
They make conceal carry purses with a specific pocket for the gun. Or better, carry it on your person cocked and locked, safety on. Those little .380’s I was talking about conceal easy. Get training at your local shooting range and you’re all set for a rape free life. If you like guns and want to carry something bigger by all means do so. But .380 is the minimum.
I consider it important, I have a daughter and I will be damned if she’s going to be a statistic. I am not naive about what she may or may not do in her adult life, but I at least want what she does to be her will alone.
Single woman are easy targets, don’t be one. That’s all I am saying. Goosestepping won’t help you much with an aggressive male.[/quote]
S&W and some others make a nice looking clutch bag that has the wriststrap attached to the pistol through an easy pull out opening so you don’t have to fumble into a pocket and won’t drop it.

Really? I happen to like my Smith & Wesson .357/.38 caliber with a 6 inch barrel.

I happen to like it too. A LOT. That will get the job done, well. Do you carry that in your purse? You should. Pointing the business end of that bad boy at a would be rapist will change his mind real quick.
I carry a Ruger .357 with a 3 inch barrel. A little easier to conceal in the belt. Ordered some new Wolfe springs for it to smooth out the trigger. I love the S&W trigger.
I still think .380’s are great female guns, but if you want to carry a cannon, by all means do so. I just don’t know many women who like the recoil from .357’s. [/quote]
The Ruger is nice too! No, I don’t carry it in my purse, it would make my shoulder tired. LOL I just keep it in a safe for home security purposes. The recoil is not for the faint of heart; I really have to brace myself to shoot. I find shooting my Glock a lot more enjoyable.

Especially not if it’s an aggressive male goose.

What IS it with the male geese? Every time I try to flee the clutches of one of my dates, I have half a dozen of them chasing me.

Would you rather they be repulsed? Count your blessings.
So how does one join this google plus thing?
Edit: I am already a member of google plus. Is there a particular circle to which some of you belong?

Furrowed brows!
Working with kids I had a feelings chart I used with little faces I’d drawn to graph feelings for the day or week, and the angry face had a V for eyebrows. Because my graph was nice (not as complex as some readily available, but more than the happy-to-mad you sometimes see) it spread through my team. A common question among us was “is that a V I see? Are you upset?”
For women and children particularly, I think, the eyebrows tell a lot. With men I’d look more to the jaw.
Dudes get their signals mixed. If you aren’t casual sex material, then you must be G.F. or potential wifey material in their eyes. Kinda hard to be in the middle but that’s where you seem to be. I’m guessing you like to be in a mix of men until you meet one who really gives you butterflies, and keeps giving you butterflies by not showing he’s too interested…
The thing is, that means you want a guy who isn’t that interested in you, or is really interested in you but doesn’t show it which is a disingenuous quality and not standup lol.
The thing is, most stand up guys are going to take that to mean they should make a strong play for you as the ones who really like you will feel they need to compete for you… Where the guys that understand you but not as into you as you think are probably just going to go along with it until they get attached, or you make yourself more clear about what it is you want. This type of dude probably wont stick up for you or will cheat btw lol. Another problem is, if YOU figure you want to settle down and he’s on cruise control, he may not want what you do. I think you know exactly what you are doing, look at all the attention you got here.
I’ll bet you date lots of players, player.

Yes, mostly exactly. Except I love and respond to the strong plays of GF/Wifey guys, but I don’t want to jump into something stupid five minutes after I meet someone. It is mixed signals on my part. That’s the problem. I think it’s a disconnect between my mind (take your time, meet men, go slowly, make sure) and my emotions and behavior, which draw men who aggressively seek GF/Wifey.
To be honest, if men are interested in me and not showing it aggressively, I probably don’t even realize they’re there.
