You guys just keep surprising me (in a positive way)! I have never felt able to discuss either of these things (the looks or the sex) without risking losing the respect of my friends. The internet is an absolute goldmine for me in finding people to talk to.
I do think though, that my appearance is quite extreme. Much of the time, just being well-mannered is nowhere near enough either to get along with people or to keep the yobs at bay. When I say I'm 'bad' I mean when yobs are violent towards me; or I mean it psychologically when people are dismissive of me in a way that compromises my simplest rights (such as never being served at bars, and similar treatment in shops; my lungs are going to pieces as every driver and his dog slows down to get a better look and then f**ts a cloud of exhaust fumes in my face, so I always take back lanes where I can instead of main roads). I try to shield my friends from all this, and meet up indoors if I can, or with other friends. I know that some people would go to pieces if they had to experience what I put up with on a daily basis, and this also narrows down my potential g/fs, as they have to be particularly strong and independent-minded. Xena is my ideal (I know I'm a bit old for fantasy figures! but hopefully it conveys the problem accurately).
In case this is getting too far off-topic, I've set up an email address at TemporarySteve-h*_o_t//_m_a_i_l.com. If you send something I'll send you my real email address. (Or if this topic makes you anxious, please just ignore this post.)
