    Why do farmers insist on putting the gate to their fields at the muddiest corner near the road?

    I contacted them about this recently and to my surprise they got straight back to me and were very keen to solve it. They asked for a link to a thread where this was happening, and said they couldn’t reproduce the issue at their end. They suggested that this has been solved in the latest version of their software, so the plugin on the forum server needs updating. If anyone is in direct contact with our host, perhaps you could pass this on. They said they’d sent an email about it, but it could easily be missed.

    It's muddy because that is where they go in and out of the gate and churn it up.

    Allow the lesbians to assist!

    Some women find masculinity in women really attractive.
    They dont find actual blokes attractive but still appreciate the physical attributes like height, broad shoulders, short hair, bit of muscle etc, usually features which are associated with males through social conditioning (and thats all masculinity and femininity actually is, a set of looks and behaviour designated by society as belonging to one or the other of the sexes)

    The presupposition is that girls are feminine so if youre attracted to girls then you must be attracted to femininity, this isnt the case.
    Im attracted to my own sex, and those who present masculinity within that sex.
    I can see why people are baffled by it but they're confusing gender and sexuality"

    Hope that helps.

    Added perk: if a lesbian woman goes for a masculine woman she's very unlikely to end up with a bald partner in later life.

    I consider myself enlightened Verv. A very good explanation. My friends partner is just really unhappy being a woman but feels trapped in a woman's body so is going all out to be a male including the need to grow a beard using medication but I imagine that's a more complex issue.

    Anyway, back on track.....Do you know why farmers always put their gates at the muddiest part of the field by the road?? ;D

    Life.

    Don't mean to sound morbid but what really is the point, except to procreate and extend pointless existence.

    Literally existing for the sake of it.

    Same as guys who are attracted to feminine women might not be attracted to feminine guys. Guess we all operate in a similar way, just different preferences is all.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    IME, it's those who are more perceptive who realise this.

    If you think the present is meaningless, the future is an eternity of coldness and darkness.

    So you might as well enjoy yourself. Or be nice to others so they can enjoy life.

    Those features are associated with males through biology, it's not just social conditioning. The average male does have broader shoulders than a female.

    What’s wrong with that…



    Or the wrist roll.
    It’s not really a TA-DA! moment is it? we know it’s a watch and we know it’s likely to be something bling.
    Actually add in any photo of a watch with other excessive displays of wealth thrown in to the background. I am thinking, cars, cigars, expensive food stuffs, cash etc.
    I don’t get why anyone would want to show off, especially on the internet to people they have never met.

    Never understood this, I stick my elbow out then spin round as if I’m looking for somebody, “oh sorry, didn’t realise somebody was standing so close”
    Had some woman continually bump me in an airport queue, had 10kg of camera equipment in a rucksack and nearly floored her with it, she didn’t do it again.
