To further my analogy and staying within a vernacular that I suspect you can relate to, I offer another Mungerism:" Denial is dangerous. It can kill you". If you want to make an impression in the finest garments available, and a beauty on your arm, you might find yourself at a Polo match (this is the wrong forum). If you want to satiate your diversified appetite in women that will sleep with you, you are in the right place. Every prostitute is looking for their own Richard Geere (sp?). Get yourself a few references and you can star the sequel!

I think it is dangerously close-minded of you to tell me what forum is right, and what forum is wrong - or that I'm in the wrong place to find someone to hang out with, and ESPECIALLY that the only pursuable goal here is to "satiate my diversified appetite in women who will sleep with me."
You don't share the same goal as I, you don't appreciate my goal, and you can scoff at the notion that ladies fit my world view and not yours...
That's FINE! But I would encourage you, if unwilling to be open-minded enough to consider someone else's views, to at least not try actively rebuking their views.
I've said many time; my standards won't change. If you disagree with my definition of a gentlemen....alright. You're entitled to your opinion, and I have no stake in trying to change your mind. I think I already told you to google "What is a gentleman?" Either you did, and you disagree with the entire internet - in which case I don't care....or you didn't, and just enjoy argument - in which case I still don't care. Or you have another motive. In which case, I still don't care.
Or to put it in simple text - label yourself a gentleman - no one cares. There are no gentleman police. What you've done is to show up in a thread by a gentleman, about gentlemen and basically said, "I wanna be a gentleman too, I demand you lower your standards so I can play."
Raise yourself to the bar, or be content in describing yourself however you like, with no judgments from anyone. But understand that the words I use, like "lady" and "gentleman" have static meaning translated across every major language on the planet, and YOUR unwillingness to accept those meanings is irrelevant. When a a plebe steps into a circle of gentlemen and demands attention, the gentlemen accommodate him.

I shall be the judge of that. Not you.

And the movie *I* am starring in is called "Real Life." In the plot of this movie, an impeccable gentleman who works hard in a stressful and high-visibility role finds a discreet companion who makes him smile, and enjoys the nuances of simple pleasures from time to time. The end.
You don't have a role in my movie, nor are you a hired consultant on the set. In fact, given the discourse so far, I think it's safe to say that you don't even understand the cinema genre. We're making a drama, and you think the only viable movie is an action thriller. I encourage you to wander back down to the matinee and take in the latest summer blockbuster.
