Nice experiences with people of the opposite sex (OR, if you are gay, people of the same sex)!It can be really easy to have knee-jerk reactions to things and really easy to get so annoyed in a debate, so annoyed by how other people think that seem outlandish, etc. that we lose sight of some of the more positive things in this world. At least, I've felt that way on this board the past couple weeks. I'm usually very much about "people" rather than about what kind of genitals they have but the past couple weeks because I felt like women were being unfairly attacked here and all the news stories on top of it, it put me on the defensive. So I've decided to share some good memories I have regarding men in particular to bring some balance into my psyche. Feel free to share your own experiences with men or women or whatevs. Hopefully this thread can stay on track.
I have a friend, I'll call him "E". In our late teens and early 20's we used to hang out a lot and had a lot of mutual friends. We both liked each other more than friends but circumstances never brought us any closer than that. He always had a girlfriend when I was single and I always had a boyfriend when he was single. Anyway, one night a bunch of us were at a bar drinking and I had WAY too much. I mean, way too much, throwing up kind of too much. Everyone else left me but "E" not only stayed with me, he cleaned me up, paid for a cab home (we were all broke back then so a cab was a big expense), and got me up five flights of stairs to my walk-up apartment. And icing on the cake, he didn't try to take advantage of my blitzed-out state. He is a most excellent human.
I have many more but I'm going to make some breakfast and come back.

At the end of my first date with my husband, he kissed me on the cheek. That surprised me because I wasn't accustomed to that.On our second date, we went to the movies and I was stunned he didn't try anything during the movie. Afterwards, he kissed me on the corner of my mouth. On our third date, I initiated sexy time on his boat because I knew he was special and there was no point in waiting. <3 I had rarely met a guy that I was going on dates with not try to get into my pants right after our first dinner together. I was delighted with this man! <3 IP: Logged |

I was in Japan once, following this popular 80's band around on tour. On our last night there we had a suite in the same hotel as the band. We had sort of a party. There were a couple band members there and a bunch of roadies.One of the band members was running around the suite in nothing but a torn up shirt and my high-heeled black boots which was hysterical. Anyway, a couple of the roadies got a hold of my lipstick and drew all over the bathroom with it. Aforementioned, mostly-naked band member, took it upon himself to spend half an hour cleaning it up with a toothbrush on his knees. Still naked. Because he felt bad the roadies would be such jerks. The next day our suite had already been paid for in full. THAT, my friends, is a gentleman. I just cracked myself up with that memory!!! IP: Logged |

A different popular 80's band was playing one night. I really liked the guitarist's hair and after the show I found him backstage and told him. He recognized me from the first row in the audience "Hey! You're the one that was dancing and knew the words to EVERY single song! You were having so much fun. I love that!"We hit it off and he asked if I wanted to hang out so we went to the tour bus with the rest of the band and went on a hunt for a pizza place at 2am. The next day, the tour bus dropped me off at work at a rock-n-roll clothing store where I was the manager. I know what all the employees thought (and that entertained me), but despite the fact I would have jumped into bed with the guitarist in a second because he was cute, kind and we hit it off... we literally spent the whole night with our arms around each other talking. He had a lot he needed to get out and I don't think anyone had stopped to really listen to him for a long time. IP: Logged |

I love the feel of my Scorpy's hand in mine!!!  <3 He's the smartest person I know. He respects my mind and body. On our first date (a double date with my bestie and her guy), we couldn't stop staring into each other's eyes. When it was time to drop the other couple off, we were so lost in our own little world that we didn't get notice when they said 'bye' and got out of the car!! lol IP: Logged |

I have lots and lots of female friends who neither view me as a sexual threat or a potential rapist. I have great relations with females even in marriage, far more in excess than relations with males. I don't understand the distinctly anti-male sentiment on LL.IP: Logged |

This thread isn't about anti-anyone, YTA. There are plenty of more appropriate threads for you to ponder that if you'd like.IP: Logged |

My friend "W". We've been friends for... wow... 20 years. We used to work together at the rock in roll clothing store. He said he knew we'd be friends forever when he unjustly got in trouble with the owner of the store and I was the only one that stood up for him. In fact, I put my job on the line to defend him. He never forgot that.He's been a sweet, eloquent and loyal friend all this time. I overlook the fact that he continually wants to date 19 year olds even though he's in his 40's.  I have a female friend that likes younger guys, too, and it always ends up disastrously.

I have always been a totally blessed person with God sending me wonderful people to help me when I needed it. I, in turn, try to pass it along and help others.This is one story. After my son died, I advertised for a handyman. I liked the sound of the voice of one guy and he came over. He did work for me and in time, I found out he was a musician with his own band.
He started giving me voice and guitar lessons and I am going to be playing professionally with him when I feel ready.
He brought me all these gifts from just a handyman ad. I have countless stories like this in my life. The same thing happened with the person who helped me start my organic vegetable garden. ------------------

My friend "N" that I have been friends with for 25 years! He's just so laid back which is odd because he's a workaholic. It seems the two wouldn't go together. He is always on the go, flying all over the world and being a jet-setter. Again, someone I really think appreciates having someone to really talk to that listens. It seems that can be hard to find. He has been awesome to me, taking me places I'd never have been able to go otherwise. When I was very young and naive (late teens) he would watch out for me at these places, parties, clubs, etc. and make sure I didn't get in over my head which would have been very easy to do in those situations.

8 months is a good chuck of time, though. I knew I was in love with my husband within the first few weeks. We've been together now for 7 1/2 years and married for almost 3. He's a good match for me. I'm an Aries. He stimulates the body and the soul. He is not a pushover at all but he's not a bully. We have mutual respect -- I've never had that in another relationship.

My friend "A" !! We met online about 15 years ago on a band message board. He lives in England but I met him in person several times because he comes to the states occasionally to see concerts. He had a crush on me way back when but I was married to my first husband so nothing ever came of that. He was always very respectful and wouldn't dream of putting me in a compromising position. My girlfriend and I went to England about 6 years ago and he was the ultimate tour guide and let us stay at his place to avoid the really high cost of hotels there. I think one of the coolest things he did for me was when he went to a Rammstein concert and he got back stage with one goal only... to put the guitarist (whom I had a crush on) on the phone with me 6000 miles away. How sweet is that?! IP: Logged |

I went on my first trip alone last November to Detroit, Michigan and met my male best friend, who I had been talking to since December 2010. I also had a chance to meet another online male friend I had known just as long.These men, one is gay and one is straight, were fantastic to me and treated me like a queen . I still talk to them regularly. I am planning to see them again this year, same time, and bring my daughter for them to meet as well. IP: Logged |

I have a classmate I had the hugest crush on when I was 15. We reconnected years ago but he wasn't ready for a relationship and I was uncomfortable talking about sex with someone who didn't want to be. We went our separate ways. He kept my artwork I gave him years ago in high school and is always there for me when I need someone to talk to.IP: Logged |

When I was a kid, early one morning, my dog ran out in the street and got hit. I still remember the yelp he made. He wasn't moving. Me and my brothers were crying. The lady who hit him took him to the vet. We were sure we would never see her or him ever again. Late that afternoon, she brought him back. He was very active. The vet said he was just bruised. That lady could have kept driving. Or certainly not have taken him to the vet. That was one lucky weenie dog!IP: Logged |

Cute, cute thread! MoonWitch  My best friend when I was little was a boy who lived down the street, named Andy. My family moved to another house when I was seven, and I didn't see him for years after that. Then in high school, I can't remember exactly how this came about, but I was babysitting some kids, and when we went to their pool, turns out Andy was one of the lifeguards. OMG he was too hot to talk to!  I just hid. Seven years ago my father died, and I was milling around in the lobby talking to people during his viewing. This one tall fellow was staring at me, looking concerned, but I didn't know who he was, and I'm pretty shy (yes, believe it or not) so I just ducked out of that room, and then I didn't see him again. A little while later a woman came up to me, smiling..."Do you remember me?" she asked. YES I remembered her! It was Andy's mother. "Andy was here, did you get to talk to him?"  So that was the guy who had just been looking at me without saying anything! How cute that my best friend from when I was six years old still cared enough to come out and pay his respects. Even if I ignored him.

^That's what I was thinking of...My husband has a lot of great qualities but I wouldn't know where to start, talking about him. Hmmm.... Well, here's something: he has "hawk eyes," and he often finds things like keys, new cell phones, and valuables on the side of the road or in parking lots...things people have lost. He always makes every effort to return these things to the people who lost them, sometimes doing a bit of "detective" work to figure out whose they are. He never takes a reward, but several times a year, strangers come to our house to gratefully pick up lost items. IP: Logged |

I think this is worth posting because of the negativity around here lately. Has anyone here heard about this teenage boy who risked his own life to save a girl from getting hit by a truck? IP: Logged |
