I thought NY was full of single women? Damn Ruby Wax and her american pie.

Hell, I thought Lausanne was full of single women, Jag, and London, as well.

I'm hoping london is, lausanne has been a right bore.

I think this might be a geographic linguistics issue but I know 'shacking up' as living with rather than shagging.

let me be more clear then: horizontal mambo, screwing, fucking, playing hide the salami, taking the fishboat to tuna town, DATY, releasing the oneeyed trouser snake, etc...

i feel so dirty now.

In the US shacking up implies shagging. It's not just sharing the rent and expenses here. And it's usually said with a leer ... remember, we Americans are still largely in the sexual dark ages, and our older folks feel that such arrangements are naughty.

It's especially suspicious when the two are of different races. People were quick to point out how unseemly it was for me, a young black woman, to share an apartment with a young white man. And he got the same thing, only the other way around. Bullocks, sez I.

that really isn't that uncommon around these parts. nobody would give you a second look. unless you're really hot - and that would be different now, wouldn't it?

I shared an apartment with 2 guys, in a redneck/amish area. Got a few looks... The women that worked in the warehouse below us called us the 3's company family, and there was much gossip.

i agree. try DATING someone from another race. i dated a girl from trinidad when i was in college. got flack from people who were supposed to be my friends (and supposedly open minded) and a lot of nasty stares from people on the street. never did tell my family, as i knew how that would have went over. it wasn't a serious relationship (but it was a LOT of fun

), but i knew that i couldn't tell my family about it. america is far, far behind in this respect. who gives a shite? i'll never understand.

I was actually engaged to a white guy at one point. Long story short, it didn't work out but that was an adventure, snuggling in public in Richmond VA even, the HEART of the Sout'.

DATY? Well, I'll keep in mind never to tell USian friends that I used to shack up with a bunch of friends and I'll tell them we don't root for football teams.
