. . . . he wants his under arm's done next, as well as his nipples . . . so who will be the lucky one to do those for him? :twisted:
Not me this time mate. There's no way I'm going anywhere near those armpits after he's spent a day in uniform, sweating like a pig in the mid day sun :scared: :scared:

Pick me :!: Pick me wave

I love inflicting a bit of pain :twisted:
Sarge will hardly feel a thing, tied to the bed long enough while drinking vodka, lots of it.
I'll be gentle, honest, maybe, possibly :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Let me at that man with wax strips :giggle:
As for a form of verification, nah, I'm a fake :giggle:

Better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and prove it beyond all doubt!!

But, when the room is down and you need your fix it could be quite a lifeline

You could always read a good book. lol

"Better to keep your mouth shut and look stupid than to open it and remove all doubt" is along the lines that i understood it to be.
you're quite right. Maybe some people should learn to shut up.
cue the PMs. confused

i lurk alot. im a lurkalot lol

sorry, that made me laugh redface

but yes, i lurk in the chatrooms. theres a few reasons
a. sometimes i meet illiterate and pushy single men in there who dont take no thanks as an answer and think i dont have a right to my preferences and try to make me out to be a bitch. which is ok when i am being a bitch but im usually not.
b. sometimes im there to see what rudeness i can watch on the cams and dont really feel like speaking to anyone (maybe both my hands are busy elsewhere eh?) theres no law against that is there?
c. sometimes im not sure where i can fit in. by that i mean...the rooms id like to go in, regional rooms and special interest rooms, seem to have a strong group of regular chatters and its hard to breakthrough and join in any chat.
so, i lurk :P

.... some people could be shy because they are just getting started within the site ....

Seriously though... I'm often to be found lurking round the different chat rooms. I lurk because I:
a) Don't often find there's much discussion to get involved with. (I'm not big on "Oi Mrs! Get yer floppies owt and give us a flash of yer beef flaps"); rolleyes

b) Like to sit and watch the world go by;
c) Get a little more than mesmerised by some of the cam shows :shock:
Guilty as charged M'Lord ;-)

We would love to chat, but after a couple of minutes we get a message saying "IE has encountered a problem and needs to close". Swing heaven page then closes.
Anyone got any idea causes this? :cry:
I have tried to search the forums, but get a message...cannot display search rolleyes

As a relative newbie, I try and make humourous comments and try and be nice to people, especially if some people are being rude about the people on cam (Which seems to be on the rise)
Other than that, I try and see what people are like and try and cotton on to what people are saying and try and join their conversations.
Some rooms do seem to have a kind of "clique" about them, but if you look past that and join in where possible it is a usually fun place

They could well be just reading profiles or enjoying the chatter. My other half quite often justs talks to friends in whisper in chat room because he types slow and cannot keep up in main room, they don't mind him chatting there so it's all ok.
I hate the word lurkers it sounds so seedy, it could be some people are not confident in typing fast in chat room or typing at all!

My reasons for being more of a lurker than a chatter in the chat-rooms bear a strong resemblance to those given by cu3b4ll.
Many's the time I have started a conversation with people only to have it interrupted by dozens of cheesy chat-up lines &/or blatantly insincere compliments... at that point I usually withdraw from the conversation.
Just a thought though - if it was compulsory to chat in chatrooms can you imagine trying to follow the conversation of 80 different 'chatters' at a time?
Been here on SH a long time now, since late 2003 according to my full profile and basically just like to browse and see what I am missing...
Until I post this I won't be sure but I think it might be my first forum participation...

Welcome to the forums watcha wave

Why don't you pop along into the cafe and join in the fun. You would be very welcome, no flirting though ;)

Nice of you to use your first post to agree with me :thumbup:
:welcome: to the forums. I recommend you dip your toes in the Cafe.... life runs at a slower pace there ;-)

Hi Watcha, welcome to the forums were you can quite easily sit and watch the world go by.
Chat room is good, but if like me, you like to take things a little more slowely, then the forums are the way to go (cause they type way too fast in the chat rooms) wink

And before anyone says it, no it isn't due to my age confused

seeing as this is one of the longer running threads in here, thought I'd give it a bump for others to see and reply to.

I'm new to the site, am genuine.....hope that despite being a single male I can avoid being tarnished with the brush, as I have read many posts criticising single men.
Can assure everyone that I am serious and really do want to meet new people, make new friends, and have a great time in the process! biggrin
