...Or is it just me who fancies Angelina?

No Kitsandbits you are a little bit wrong, this title is highly provocative to women who dont regard themselves "a little bit gay". So it is only to be expected. Again we see a case of "if you dont agree then dont post" which really is not fair. It is a public forum.

lucyellensmum · 06/10/2007 18:30

scary, could you possible concede that you too are a littleincywinctincybit wrong too. By all means say, errrr no way, snogging a woman makes me want to throw up - ewwwwww ewwwww ewwwww! Because as you say, its a question being asked by the OP and of course you are allowed to disagree, it would be boring if that didnt happen. Imagine a mumsnet full of posts saying, oh yes, jolly good show, totally agree, spot on!!! But some posts got personal and called peoples relationships into question and were, in my view, homophobic.

StrawberryMartini · 06/10/2007 18:46

LEM, after all, (even tho it was supposed to be a light-hearted thread), I still posted it on the AIBU board.. so people could disagree!

i posted two threads the same, one on AIBU and one on Feeling depressed, the resposes were polarised!! supportive on FD and a little less on AIBU - its funny how that happens. I always think posting here is opening a can - thats why i like it

ashadasher · 06/10/2007 22:01

thanks for the support! i felt pretty crappy last night and it did make me wonder if mumsnet was really for me. some might say i overreacted but i just figured that i clearly didnt understand the ethos of the place and so i was better off not sticking around. i figured it to be fun and a supportive environment - my faith it that is now mostly restored!

getting all serious for a minute, the thing with my DH probably isnt as bad as i made it seem, but i suspect our relationship is different from many people here (arranged marriage). i think thats a conversation for another time though - this one is meant to be a laugh, right? its not like i am chasing women around every night trying to plug a hole or anything. its an occasional thing and i get a kick out of in a way that my upbringing didnt have space for.

in fact, its not happened for months. sighhhhhhhh.

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 22:22

Sorry if I upset you, Ashadashar I did not look in your profile before posting, arranged marriage did not enter my mind. Most Indians I know are happy in their arranged marriages and cannot believe that us westeners have the sad task of finding a lifepartner ourselves. A view that has astounded me.

Desiderata · 06/10/2007 22:24

Yeah, sorry if I offended you, kid.

It was an AIBU thread, so I answered in kind.

Do what you do, as long as you're happy. I didn't realize, when posting, that you had an arranged marriage.

Desiderata · 06/10/2007 22:26

X-post, starry

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 22:26

Come give us a snog Desi

Joking

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 22:29

But you are a very pretty girl Ashadashar, oh, I wish I was young and pretty again!

And your LO is just adorable.

Desiderata · 06/10/2007 22:30

lol

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 22:30

oh come on Desi, it was a joke, the thread considered, I know you are all EUUUGH about it.

chipmonkey · 06/10/2007 22:32

ashadasher, are you a model or something? You are absolutely stunning! And your baby is the broodiest-making little creature I have seen in a long time!

Desiderata · 06/10/2007 22:33

Starry! My was a joke!!!

I can't help thinking you want to fuck me though

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechhh

SueBarooeeooeeooooo · 06/10/2007 22:34

has a bit of a crush on ashadasher now

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 22:34

God my jaw fell on the table and my stomack to the ground there for a moment!

CrookshanksinJimmyChoos · 06/10/2007 22:34

Damn Desi - I was hoping to hide behind a display on Friday for a quick snog!!

ashadasher · 06/10/2007 22:40

thanks for the rather more kind words! i fear you have rather overestimated the extent to which my arranged marriage has any great significance here though. the cultural thing probably plays a big part in whats going on though - like i said i had a VERY sheltered upbringing and i am, in my mid 20's, finally trying to do something to put that right. i want to be a great mum and i feel my life experience is sorely lacking. i didnt spend my teen years chasing or being chased and how much chasing can i expect DH to do now we are married? not much i guess! i cant countenance letting a guy chat me up, much less kiss me. so im stuck between the rock and the hard place!

CrookshanksinJimmyChoos · 06/10/2007 22:42

Ashad - if you don't mind me asking, what's your cultural background?

Desiderata · 06/10/2007 22:44

I have to say though, that if I were to fancy a virtual woman, it might well be Starry.

I imagine long, dark hair and a heaving bosom ... I imagine that Starry is rather attractive.

Now, Crook is bloody beautiful. I've met her, you see. She has a face you just want to kiss ... but I assure you, in a purely non-sexual way

She's bloody beautiful, though ...

CrookshanksinJimmyChoos · 06/10/2007 22:46

Awww shucks!

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 22:48

Well Desi, thanks you are sweet. You are wrong though. I am a pretty faded beauty, and blonde!

Will put a pic in my profile for a second, give me a minute.

Desiderata · 06/10/2007 22:48

What a thought provoking post, asha.

That has made me re-evaluate a few things that I hadn't previously considered.

Taken in context, I can certainly understand all of your previous posts.

I'm very sorry to have offended you last night. May I ask for your forgiveness?

xXxamyxXx · 06/10/2007 22:49

thought id pop in to see who was misbehaving...usual crowd i see
