I agree.

Well maybe we are all unattractive around here and it is just by degrees someone is deemed attractive hehehe
(my second job is retail )

or possibly the lack of posh little shops is why I havn't noticed that trend. hummm

About the bar scene. I thought the only requisit was really big knockers. I didn't think the men paid any attention to a dimly lit face if those sisters were serving the patrons. hehehe

ok seriously, I did notice that the people who work in 'fine jewelry' are extremely beautiful. I would agree with that. A definate case of 'lookism'

OK, but in fairness did you ever see a barmaid that wasn't "presenting" the sisters on a silver platter? Except of course, unless she thought they were too small(impossible), and used an alternate hook.

Yeah, I know, they do it, a little for the ego stroking attention, but mostly because they make a lot more money when they do.

Hey you started it by presenting them in the first place.

I've been thinking about this for sometime because every once in a while someone will post, poor me.. nobody reads my posts.

How in hell does anyone know if their post has been read or not, unless it's the only post in the thread?
Are they going by responses to their post? That's a whole different animal which there can be a number of reasons for.

Why would somebody reply to your post?
Did you ask a question?
Did you disagree with someones post?
Did you take a controversial, unusual, or unpopular position on something?

Just up the page Dana said "Knockers help". That was an appropriate response, showing she agreed, but I don't think it called for a response by me or the person she was agreeing with. Not all posts beg for a response when they're read.
Sometimes I read a post and want to respond but don't have the time to say what I want to say. Sometimes I'll come back to it after I've worked out my position in my head. Or sometimes I know my response will open a whole can of worms I don't want to deal with at the time.

Bottom line....just because nobody responded doesn't mean you're not being stalked....uh, I mean... it wasn't read.
And sometimes you just post the perfect answer to the question at hand, and any response would look silly.
