Test of nerve

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know
the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the
definition for each is listed below...

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by
your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning,
or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of
perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt
and having the balls to say: "You're next."

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking,
there is no difference in the outcome since both ultimately result in death

RE: Boundary

Well, i have to say that almost all new girls never read the rules :) Usually they read them after they get the first warning from CC. Saw a few examples already :)

Reply

RE: Boundary

Remember triksy the rules are there to be broken hint hint :)

Reply

RE: Boundary

Yes, and there is always the all-too-human tendency to exceed a boundary. The rebel by his very nature must step over that boundary be it for a noble cause or noble cause or no cause at all---just to do it because it is forbidden. Remember in the Garden of Eden God said Adam & Eve could pick of any fruit of any tree EXCEPT from the "Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil." Of course, we know which tree they picked from. Even those who fancy themselves virtuous because they follow the rules, break them vicariously since their whole sense of virtue necessarily depends on those who DO break the rules. Their sense moral rightiousness could not exist without the rebel.
The saint and the sinner are bound together. One makes no sense without the other.

So, why do people here break the rules in ANY category (not just the "Ms. Goody Two Shoes" categories whose members repress their underlying reason for being here)? Why? Because they can.
Plus, it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission!.

Can't remember the name of the movie with a young Marlon Brando, but some woman asks him, "So, what are you rebelling against?" He looks at her and says, "Whatta ya got?" lol! That says it all in 2 sentences better than my feeble attempt above.

Any girl out there in "Family & Freinds" category who wants to break the rules and reveal what she REALLY is here for, e-mail me. It'll stay between you and me. :)

RE: Boundary

Rules are rules but I saw many girls from my section in bikini.From one side it's ok as you can see even minors in bikini on beach.From another side I'm not sure if such kind of pics produce truly non-adult chat association. Some bikini can be very revealing (this also depends on how the host of bikini represents herself on pics)

What about pics containing nipples through.I think CC doesn't allow them.Though taking into account that there are so many girls who are on-line atm I think it may be not so easy to track all. Perhpas you saw some girl with pics showing a nipple through and this may mean that CC didn't manage to track her.I know one girl which was banned from non-adult section cos she had a picture where she was in non-transporent top but there were seen the shapes of breast and her nipple through the top.But she do rarely wear any bra cos her breasts size is practically 0. I'm not sure if it's convenient to wear bra with such a small breast.

Hmm I had some pixs banned from non-adult section before(I was totally clothed in non-transporent clothes on the pics). I think that boundaries among truly non-adult, erotic and revealing pics may be very degraded.Some ppl may find a pic of totally clothed girl(for example a pic where she is wearing tiny shorts sitting with her legs spread widely with cam focused on her private places) much more adult than a pic of another girl in bikini, etc.

RE: btw

Clearly non-adult has taken on a more adult look for many hosts. There is almost a secret code that communicates to the member whether or not one to one will be hot or not. Not always true but generally host who pose in provocative poses even when fully dressed are more adult that others who just show a smiling face.

Reply

RE: btw

Well, I couldn't agree more. It is indeed a "secret"---or not-so-secret---code. Check out my thoughts above. And Gortensia, my dear, I am "shocked, shocked" that there are men in non-adult with bare nipples. I propose the Legion of Decency take up a collection and insist they wear pasties! Think of how many innocent souls shall be spared the corrupting influence of seeing bare chested men. Maybe the decendents of those guys who painted the underpants on those figures on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel are still carrying the torch. If not, cast not thine eyes upon the wicked lest ye too be corrupted. (And no peeking Gortensia!! :)) )

RE: btw

Jenn, I respect your desire to keep the category pure, but your reports are in vain my dear. I am not here to defend the rule-breakers, just to point out that wherever there is a rule, there will be those who want to break it---just because it is there!

My own complaint is with those hosts who are in a category in which the unwritten assumption of nudity is not honored. There are those girls who seem to derive a pleasure in playing coy games. They seem to delight in luring a guy into their "private" (so-called) room, then feigning naivite. When asked---no matter how politlely--- to show their bodies, they dramatically exclaim, "What? You want me to take my clothes off?!!" One girl told me, "I'm not like these other girls!" My sense is she is being altogether disingenuous; or she is self-deceived about her true motive for being here; or both.

The very best hosts are those who have a clear sense of why they are here and what the true nature of sites like these is. They also understand they are being exploited economically, as are the guests. And knowing this, they deliver the salacious service to the willing guest. The exploiters and purveyors of this service understand all too well that the girls (or guys, or couples) are the agents of the sexual fantasies and illusions for sale and they know they will have no want of customers. These wanton wares are as old as mankind itself.

Reply

RE: Boundary

there has to be a clear distinction between Adult and Non Adult. The reason girls break the rules in Non Adult is because they can in 121 which is twice as expensive than if they were in Adult. There are also less girls in Non Adult. Unfortunately, there are also girls in Non Adult who's pics give the impression they will be more accomodation than they really are and all this means genuine Non Adult girls are continually harrassed by impatient guys. CC should sort it out.

Reply

RE: Boundary

Agree entirely. I'm weary of hosts telling me what beasts men are expecting sex in non adult, then I look at their profile pics and see the most explicit sexual poses, and of reading viewers posting about the 'bitches' who wouldn't come across in non adult.

Simple rule, hosts don't advertise your bodies if chat is all you are offering; viewers, don't ask for sex if it is not advertised. All this will help save both sides grief, wasted time and money.

Also, maybe CC could manage their business better.

RE: Ladies

Depends exactly on definitions of sex. Of the 40 or so women i have screwed only a handful managed regular orgasms during intercourse. Most men i have spoken with are honest enought to admit that this is also their experience. Its not lack of technique or finesse on the man's part but more the woman and her physical and mental make up.

Now of course all women can and do regularly experience clitoral orgasm by various means.

Not sure if I asked this before.. like last year, for example.. but I would need a bit of help to find the lyrics of a Christmas Carol ( no, google didn't help me) . I must be having it at home ( my parents' ) but I won't make them go through such a difficult task as finding my notebook and reading my awuful handwriting.. So could you help me?

"So come on sweet children, come listen and play/pray
In Bethleem stable the angel did say
A baby was born in a cold winter's night..... "

RE: Need some help

The first Noel the Angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in
fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel!

This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel!

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought.
And with His blood mankind hath bought.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel!

Excuse me ladies and friends, close your eyes and ears, Im about to say something to someone on here and he knows who he is and I hope he reads this-He is a first class butthole and jerk when he has to attack a woman on here, by calling her names that are not so nice and disgusted and has to get so fucking jealous whenever someone else talks to her. The first place, want you to know this woman is a friend of mine not a lover, so dont go on saying those things to her about people on here. If you dont have something nice to say -keeping your fucking mouth shut--or better yet-keep your damn fingers off the keyboard--Ok now I know he is going to type something back on here, saying I am the butthole and jerk--which if that is what he wants to do, I can take it, but keep your mouth shut about her and her friends on here which or other members and host on here.

No not the man but what is happening here on this forum. I have never seen such drunken or drugged up posts before. It shows that the earth is truly going to hell and will end soon.

Therefore all hosts should prepare themselves for the end of CC too. In harmony with this demise they should also offer to their soon to be demised viewers an offer.

The offer would include one free vid and a visitation for the viewer to the country and location of the host where the host will offer the viewer a free ................ and BJ at the airport. If he is any good then she will invite him back to her flat to continue until the end comes for all of us..........

RE: friendship

Friendship you have to feel with your heart. It's when you feel respect, reliability, support, understanding and, of course, trust, love and warmth towards and from someone.
When i started working here, i didn't understand what guys mean when they say can i be your friend ? It's not a question of permittion, is it? It either happens or not.
Tho, of course, later i understood, that when a guy asks if we can be friends, he asks "i liked being with you, did you?", "can i keep coming to you?" and so on. I think is all. Coz if you wanna be someone's friend, no use to ask for permittion. Do you ask "Can i fall in love with you?" :P

Going Dutch

Why is it called "going dutch"? Are they infamous for not picking up a tab?
Open thread

Reply

RE: Going Dutch

Going Dutch is a slang term that means that each person eating at a restaurant or paying admission for entertainment pays for himself or herself, rather than one person paying for everyone. It is also called Dutch date or Dutch treat.


Etiquette
There is a delicate etiquette surrounding going Dutch. It may be accepted in some situations, such as between non-intimate friends or less affluent people, but considered stingy in other circumstances, such as on a romantic date or at a business lunch.

The traditional way to handle a bill on a romantic date in the West has been that the one who invited the other (traditionally, nearly always the man) takes the bill and the invitee may not even know the actual price of the meal. Some restaurants keep ladies' menus without prices.


Etymology
The phrase "going Dutch" probably originates from Dutch etiquette. In the Netherlands, it is not unusual to pay separately when dating. The Dutch were already internationally known as scrooges, and English rivalry with The Netherlands especially during the period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars gave rise to several phrases including Dutch that promote certain negative stereotypes. Examples include Dutch courage, Dutch uncle and Dutch wife. The particular stereotype associated with this usage is the idea of Dutch people as ungregarious and selfish.

In Spain, "going Dutch" is attributed to Catalans, due to a stereotype that they are greedy. A stereotypical non-Catalan Spaniard would compete to invite the group.

In Italy, the expression pagare alla romana can be translated as: "To pay like people of Rome" or "to pay like they do in Rome". It has the same meaning as "going Dutch".

Curiously, in South American countries exist the Spanish phrase pagar a la americana (literally "To pay American style") which refers to a trait attributed to people from the U.S.A. or Canada.

The gambling term dutching may follow this same route as it describes a system that shares stakes across a number of bets. It is commonly believed, however, that the Dutch reference here was in fact derived from a gangster (Dutch Schultz) who used this strategy to profit from racing.


Feminist support for Dutch date practice
During the advent of Second wave feminism, the late 1960s and 1970s, the women's movement encouraged women to understand aspects of their own personal lives as deeply politicized. Many feminists investigated the framework and assumptions of traditional courtship roles. They subscribed to the idea that there should be equality of the sexes, not just legally, but socially and sexually.

They thought that it was mature, empowering and self-respecting for women to pay their own way in romantic dates. They were rejecting traditional gender role assumptions that men should make more money and should pay for affections through dinners and the rest of costs of dates. In this way, women were making an equal investment in the cost of courtship.

It became more common for women to pay their own way, or to pay for men's meals. Some women were offended if their male dining partner "grabs the check."


Effective end of Dutch practice
Since the 1990s, mores, particularly in the US, have reverted to past customs.

More women have abandoned 1970s feminism's ideals for equality of gender roles and relationships. More women have reverted to adopting traditional, that is, unequal views of the courting relationship, and assumptions about men's responsibility to spend money to express affection.

Thus, a gesture has arisen to test a man's adherence to the return to traditional courtship roles: In the last 10 years in the US, a further twist to the woman's offering to pay their own way has occurred. These women will generally offer to pay their part of the meal, but if the man agrees, the woman will assume that he is not interested in her and she will then decline to meet him again.

Social custom also varies among same-sex couples. Most often, it is the inviter or the one whose financial situation most lends him or her to pay who does so. The lack of rigid tradition, however, leaves no widely adopted custom

Ever been to the Dutch village of Vollendam and Marken? Parents there dress their boys as girls! Another meaning of 'going Dutch' perhaps.

RE: Going Dutch

I'm not sure how the Dutch (like the Scots) got the reputation for parsimony, but the expression "going Dutch" or "Dutch date" is not the only example. I believe the "Dutch oven" (a casserole pot) reflects this as well, presumably because it is cheaper to cook in this single pot than to light an oven. Then there is a joke I heard from a man from Suriname (the former Dutch colony, Dutch Guyana): "How was copper wire invented?" Answer: "Two Dutchmen squeezing a penny."

RE: Going Dutch

when i went to amsterdam (admittedly years ago) you had to pay to use the toilets in mcdonalds even though you were eating there - so maybe reputation is slightly deserved?

RE: Going Dutch

You pay for bogs in all busy tourist cities. Paris is the same. People just want 2 have a piss instead of buying food.

RE: Ever

I gues it depends on the circumstances. Were both girls? Both guys? One girl, one guy? Which one were you? Was it a friend or an acquaintance? Were you both from the same culture? What are the traditions of the culture(s)?

A scenario: An American guy is visiting an east European girl he has befriended on the net and she says she made a reservation at a fancy restaurant.

If it was me I would answer that though I certainly don't want to eat from a hamburger stand in the market, a five-star restaurant is beyond my budget. In any event, I would check the prices on the menu and if they were too high I would close the menu and again tell her it was beyond my budget.

If she was a friend she would be gracious and agree. If she was just out to spend your money why do you need her?
