You look pretty damn male to me. And seriously, you're a good-looking guy, so stop with the self-deprecation.

For a little while, when he first joined, I used to think dissention was a woman.

I've never heard anyone say "Orientals" in a derogatory way but I do suppose it's mostly older people that say it. I still hear "Japs" occasionally and I find it more humorous than anything, but of course I would never say it. It's a little too close to that line for me.

Lol! That's funny because generalization because in the south, northerners are viewed as having less manners & being less friendly.

You're the ONLY person I've ever known, who quotes Seinfeld, more than I.

And the north/south thing is true, for the most part.
I'm a Yankee, but spend a LOT of time down in TN. The people there, are SO MUCH more friendly there, than they are here. They've told me that they hate Yankees, because we're rude, impatient, and self-absorbed. I agree.

My friend moved here from Chicago....she says the difference in just friendliness, from there to here in IN, is huge. The difference from Chicago to the South, must be astronomical. 70yo women, greet you on a city street, down there. That would rarely happen, here.

Why the HELL do you think you are ugly?

I agree with everyone else, Hejira seemed worried all this time for nothing. What a surprise to finally see a pic and he's good looking too. Thanks for posting a pic. It's nice to put a face to a screen name on here. You were shy over nothing Hej

I was raised in the South and have lived here all my life, but I'm extremely introverted, and as a kid it was absolute hell. I don't like talking to people I don't know well, and will go out of my way to avoid it. I don't do small talk, and generally don't make eye contact with people on the street. I prefer to be kind of anonymous, fade into the wallpaper, and not call attention to myself as much as possible.

Because of all that, my mother (don't get me started on her) thought I was autistic, and I could never get it through the school secretary's head that I was not in Special Ed.

Sometimes I wonder if I would've had an easier time in the North.

Umm, can I just say, 'major hottie!' I would totally "do you."

I learned something tonight from all of you. I learned that the term Oriental is politicly incorrect. I honestly had no idea that Asian is the correct term, so I thank all of you for being my teachers.

I'm terribly unphotogenic, and getting a good picture out of me is a huge, annoying hassle. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone's told me "You look much better than your picture!"

I used to get that a lot back in the days when I was single and meeting people from online. Another one of my favs comments? "You're so good looking for a redhead!" I STILL don't know whether to feel insulted or flattered by that one.

Speaking of hard to get good personal pics... "x" pics are the worst about this.

For a lot of years, I lived in Northern KY, a bridge away from Ohio. I moved South (Georgia, Alabama) because my husband is from here. Let me tell you, Southerns may be 'friendly', but only if you are 'like them'. I've met a lot of people here that are just not good people at all.
