.M. seems to have left a whole lot of IMHO's or :-) from the post. The
former seems assumed, since I have not encountered anyone male or female
here yet who shared this peculiar view or love and long-term relationships.

meet the above poster.

Oh, never mind, I'm safe... I forgot that I'm not sexually trainable.
