3. Okay, this is sad sad sad, back in the first year of college sex days sad.......My friends and I were at a fraternity...the one we normally hung out at........I cant believe I am saying this really, but it goes with the theme.......I was pretty wasted and hanging out with this guy.......he had a small dorm like room with a bed on the top bunk. We were up there messing around and I could barely stay awake anymore......I tried to fall asleep, but I could tell that he was fidgety and wanted me to leave........I wouldnt get up, so he got out of the bed and turned on his lights and stereo as loud as he could.....finally, I could not sleep, I got up to go to the bathroom or something........right when I walked out the door, he slammed the door behind me and locked it........I was like, what the hek.........whattever ASSHOLE!!!! Then I just slept on the couch outside that room and my friend found me in the morning, told me she had been looking for me all night........

4. Ok.. So I guess I'm the asshole in this situation. True story...I was about 18-19 who cares, didn't get drunk but was hung up on this guy for quite awhile, I had a major crush on him, finally one night of hot phone sex and saturated underwear,and months of anticipation I invited him to my apt.and we did the deed, the funny thing is that while it was good sex, it wasnt the sex I was after, After we were wrapped up in the stains, I looked over at him ( handsome guy) and I realized I just banged him, then I thought that was pretty damn easy, he was easy, this is too easy, I needed a challenge...He was half asleep (yet another turn off is a man who falls asleep like right after the 2nd round) So I reached for th remote, turned on the music to like 10 decibels to Guns and Roses' Welcome to the Jungle, of course he jumped up like what the hell and I told him "while you're up can you grab me a coke on your way out the door?" He looked at me crazy, shook his head, called me a bitch (sticks and stones)and stormed out the door slamming it...what really sucked was that I had to get up and get my own damn coke. I guess not all girls can respect an easy fuck.

6. Hey Shari in response to your question...What was I after, I think it was the thrill of the catch. its like catching a huge fish and then throwing it back in the water. Seriously, I think I like the anticipation,I like a little toussle, I was after the challenge of landing someone hard to get or sought after, when I won, the respect for the guy, the hazy eyes, the dreamy conversation, my Norah Jones CD just seems so boring...I enjoy a good fight, rough sex, a good omlette and of course a cold coke.

7. Hahahahahaha you guys are too damn cute.
   Wgat's so damn funny is how honest she is being.... The classic will you grab me something while you're on your way out thing!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha!!!!
   In my case it's hey will you let my dog in before you leave... and if that turns into a whiney okay i will and then a bunch of snuggles I just giggle and say okay talk to you in the morning time to keep from pissing anyone off...... so I'm being a secret ass.
   I have a smart one now. He lets my dog in before he comes upstaires that way he doesn't have to leave. Then he does the deed until I'm satisfied and then rolls over so I can have my space. He doesn't talk because he knows I like to watch cartoons afterwards. What a good guy and he's disease free!

11. Though I’ve never been thrown out before – at least not under the circumstances you mention – I do have a sleeping related story to share. I’ve been dating this guy for almost two years now. Sad but true, he’s my first boyfriend. I never had confidence before in myself or in someone liking me enough to date me – but that’s a story for another day. In this case, we’ve been together for a long time. And in all of that time, I’ve never once slept over his house or him sleep over my house. Now, we both live by ourselves, so there is NO reason for us not to have sleepovers. But now, here’s the thing – I THINK he wears a hairpiece and he is too self conscious about it that he does not want me see him without it. In fact, the mere thought of a sleep over incites panic attacks, the likes of which have never been seen before. Truth is that all things being equal, love is love to me and transcends the physical appearance of a person. I am much more concerned with the personality and the kindness than their outer beauty. That comes from me having a poor self image of myself for so long. So it truly wouldn’t bother me whether he had all his hair or not. I’d be much more contented to snuggle with a bald guy than be told constantly by someone with hair that it was late and I should go home. But I don’t have an option here. And truthfully, I was so oblivious to him wearing a hairpiece that I had no idea until one of his friend’s girlfriends told me – she thought I knew and told me matter of fact in a girl’s bathroom on a wine tasting trip. I was stunned and did not want to embarrass her for telling me or me for not ever realizing it, so I played along. And knowing his personality, and realizing that what she said made sense when you add in his quirks, I opted to say nothing. But I can safely say that his flowing mane of hair had nothing to do with my attraction towards him. I guess I never looked close enough to know whether it was real or not. I took it at face value that all parts and follicles naturally belong to him. However, as suggested above, I did think there were certain oddities that came across as quirks– like him knocking my hands down when I tried to wrap them around his neck, instead he’d move them down to around his waist or him not allowing me to run my fingers through his hair, instead he’d direct me to his chest. Initially, I DID think these actions were weird and suspect, but then I chalked them up to his being ticklish in the places where I was aiming and then since it happened fairly frequently in the beginning of the relationship, I learned to not go near these places and moved past trying. Ultimately, I find it sad that he lives his life so cautious of being found out that he cannot share his bedroom with me – someone he claims to love – for even one night. Oh, I should add that because I began to complain that it was unacceptable to me to never be allowed to sleep over, he went out and bought another bed for a different room so that now if I choose, I can sleep over but not have to share his room! The whole point of me sleeping over – or at least a big point to me sleeping over – would be so that we could share a bed and snuggle and hold each other tight. The fact that he’d be in a different room seem too sterile and cold so I still have yet to sleep over. And you know what? All this quirkiness, which is SO BEYOND the range of being charming at this point, makes me so curious to see him without the hairpiece on that in those darker moments, like when we are in the middle of a knock down, drag out fight, I often think about what it would feel like pulling it off the top of his head. In those moments I fantasize about how good it would feel to ripe that rug right off his head. But how can I do that? Though a part of me says that I should just go for it. Who knows? If the fighting continues, I just might…

12. wow i didnt think my initial post would have deviated into a discussion about hairpieces but here goes. I know for myself that the idea of losing my hair is one of the scariest things i can think of as far my physical looks go. I think i'd rather lose a few fingers or toes then lose my hair. At some point though you gotta just say fuck it. There ain't nothin you can do about. You should confront your boyfriend about it. Obviosuly its weighing heavily on your mind and causing problems in your relationship. Whats it gonna hurt? Especially if you tell him that you don't care if he's bald or not. Maybe that's all he needs to hear. As much as I hate to think about losing my hair the idea of having to wear a hairpiece is even more frightening. Unless it's one of those cool pubic wigs called Merkins. Those just seem kinda fun.

13. ON THE OTHER HAND: as frightenning as it is to think about losing hair I think it is tramautic to actually lose hair. If wearing the piece makes him feel confident, then maybe you should just leave him as he is. Unveiling a hair piece is like a woman with extremely saggy tits revealing it for the first time in front of a new lover or so I've heard. I think its psychological, I think that may be you should tell him that you know he wears one and that you'd love to see hin without it. The bad part is being dishonest by acting like you dont notice it, the good thing is just let him go from there, if he still wants to continue wearing it then thats what he was when you met him, he shouldnt have to change...but it will be good for him to know that the woman he is close to knows his little secret and maybe in time he may be comfortable enough to come to you and actually talk to you about it...so my take is , tell him you know he wears one but dont expect to librate him from the piece..accept him for how is is.

16. yea dude..you're right thats what you did say I just meant to add the part that said if you meet a guy with a hairpiece... fell in love with the guy with the hairpiece then accept the guy with his hairpiece...you shouldn't try to change someone

    Comment by Shivanni [Member] — 07/22/05 @ 22:38

17. God I wish I had it in me to say that'd I'd still be attracted to a guy with a hair piece. But at the age I'm at, I just not that big of a person. Oh I'd pretend to be supportive and beg him to drop his guard and show me. I'd say all the things you just said about liking him for him blah blah blah, but I think (god Im going to burn in hell) I think I'd just beg him to take it off so I could oggle it, knowing damn well I'd never feel the tingle down there for him again. But that's just me.
    
    I think it's high time men go to the emtremes woman do to preserve youth and beauty...why should we be the only ones to subject ourselves to countless painfull procedures? If I felt my saggy breasts were going to disgust you I'd get them fixed. I wouldn't take my insecurities out on you...which is what he is doing. You're stressed about this...you're asking for advice.
    
    Let me try to be unbiased here, if you truly love the rug toting fool...go on and tell him all that supportive crap. But keep in mind, no matter what you say he is going to think your not being honest. Be prepared for that. He may want constant reassurance and you may have to constantly stroke his ego and you may end up resenting him.
    
    I think you should tell him that you noticed his lack of turf is getting in the way of your intimacy and that it hurts YOU! You be the victim. Tell him that YOU are sad he feels like he has to hide it from YOU. Make it about YOU to take the emphasis of him...this way he will automatically downplay his actions and dishonesty to comfort you.
    
    You'll catch him off guard. In a fit of panic, he'll whip off the rug to prove what he says is true, that he does turst and love you!
    
    THEN when you are repulsed by the sight and you've got him right where you want him...then you can suggest the plugs!
    
    Problem solved!

18. I'm supporting this idea all the way! I can not imagine who would disagree with it. On the whole - make posts like this more often.
