This was a mistake, Frieslander.

You didn't have to tell her anything of this.


No. It's good that he told her. I would want to know as soon as possible. It makes it easier to work with any challenges that may come up in the relationship.


I'm glad some people agree with my decision. She hasn't emailed since Saturday, but it was a long email considering it was n iphone. She is pretty busy.

And what does Marmite taste like? Is it anything like vegemite, the Australian stuff?

The 40 years old virgin man has the worst stereotypical image in the media : A loser ,dumb ,bitter or a potential Sodini....the gay is the best image out of all of them. That alone would turn her off before even getting the chance to let her know you and fall for you. Very few would really understand your challenges without having a negative image about you.

It was too early.

The "gay"? Did you mean "guy"? I'm no Sodini. Was he mentally ill? I guess he is.

Not sure if I appreciate the comparison.

Yes, in my days of mental illness, as I've stated before, I lived with a guy who killed someone later. scary s**t.

Well, I just read more on Sodini. That's not me. Yes, I've had false memories from childhood, but it just ain't me.

Well, explain then. I think I got your point, but just didn't like the comparison.

The difference is that I know I have the illnesses, and am under controlled treatment for them. That guy Sodini apparently wasn't treated from what I see.

I think he meant telling her you're a virgin gives you that negative stereotype of having other problems.

You just have to be you, Frieslander. You felt the need to tell her. I completely understand wanting to have that disclosed. It does free yourself from some anxiety. You need a girl that will love you for you and appreciate your honesty.

FWIW... My brother is Schizoaffective. He found a woman and settled down. Honesty is what makes the relationship work.

I also owe you a PM. It's not because I'm not a fond friend. I just suck at returning PMs promptly. :lol:

A food stuff so nasty that the manufacturers even admit it in their adverts. Here are a couple I remember for you to check out:

Don't take it personal, I was not comparing you to Sodini or to any other serial killer/mass murderer.

Just saying how most people view the 40 yo virgin man.

Well, she just emailed me.

I won't include all that was said, for sake of not blabbing everything between her and me, but she said:

OH goodness, you didn't offend me! :) Sillyhead!

Ha! one more thing for those of you who doubted....

She just told me this:

"And your diagnoses are not negative, at least not to me. You were honest and that's never a bad thing."

Lose that pic on your profile and put the torso shot you took. Tell her someone said to do it for awhile just for kicks so she doesn't think it was you being vain, LOL.


I actualy told her - that someone told me to do this - to send a pic of my shirtless torso that I had been dared to put up on the web (now removed), and I said it was not my style. She said good thing, not her style either :-)

Good thing people say I've not much to be ashamed of on my torso though :-)
