OK, CaliDreamin....you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but in general flaming is not how we operate on Pixies.

It can be very difficult being a single woman - especially a single woman over 25 - and dealing with the social issues of who to bring to a party when everyone else you know is married. It's emotionally stressful.

At no time did any of us attempt to compare the situation to solving world hunger (in terms of order of magnitude). However, Shadozfire asked for suggestions and we gave them to her. That's what Pixies is about - being friendly and helpful.

There are many advice threads here that 'are nothing considering all the problems in the real world'. But they are real problems in each of are own worlds. SF has been living in Texas for only a short time and was told she needed to be at this event and she needed to have a respectable date. It's bad enough trying to meet new people and make new friends... then your boss demands you bring a date to a work function.

Anyway, as osuche said, Pixies is about being friendly and helpful.

Oh, and sexy. Let's not forget about that.

I'd just like to add that scary outmoded sexist bullshit in the work place IS a pretty big issue. If there were REAL sexual equality across the world, who knows how fewer REAL problems there'd be. If women were more respected, and their opinions and suggestions heeded perhaps there would be less war, fewer rapists, less child abuse, fewer car accidents, no honour killings within certain cultures etc etc.

Get my point?

Oh and if you're here to talk about serious issues, I suggest you stay out of the general chat, general sex talk, smut games, pictures of women, pictures of men, pictures of couples, requests and all stories threads. Was it not made clear to you that this is a sex site when you joined?

Wow and I thought I was an asshole?

Ok, seriously, the title of the thread isn't like "Help, I'm Lonely and Men all Avoid me or Ignore me!"

No, It has to do with the phenomenon in Southern Culture that is arrogant, classist, and sexist.

Of course, if he bothered to read the first post, he would find out that the real problem has to do with work.

I've lived in Texas all my life, and I managed to not get my panties in a knot over the "backwards southerners" comments becuase I know I ain't one.

And finally, one could be an accomplished surgeon, lawyer, scientist, etc. and still come across as an ignorant redneck.

(((Soda)))--I am sorry hon, it was not meant seriously and I hope that you can accept my apology.

Cali--If something jeapordizes my job or career, then yes, to me it is serious. I see that you are new to the site and let the rest of your rant go, but please know in the future that Pixies are a family and as such we get to inundate each other with our problems (no matter how small or trvial they seem to others) in hopes that one of the family members can help make sense out of it.....

Osuche--Thanks hon!!

Aqua--VERY SEXY INDEED!

Lou--AMEN SISTER!!! From you lips to the Texan's ears!

Jseal--You forgot to include my thread where I wanted ideas about new sex toys that ONLY had TWO pages of responses!!! What is up with that??? LOL Cuz you know that is a REAL problem when you can't decide which toy to buy next!!

CL--No you ain't a backwards southerner!

Thank you all for your support!!!!! (((PIXIES)))

Thanks. It's one more reason I'm moving to Austin aka East California.

Jseal--Especially anal toys......Fun Fun Fun FUN!

Oh yeah----I forgot to tell you guys what the end result of me not going was (DUH)----I am on indefinite silent treatment from her. Better than the alternative, but with her it is scary as you do not know when she is going to get you with of the snakes on her head!

I had no idea she was from Austin, and I'm like one of those people who goes "You know Paul Wall is from Houston right?" and this is the Mexican Restaurant ZZ Top sang about.

Though yes, pretty girls were a reason though. :-P
