I read that last sentence with Patrick Stewart's voice in my head. (And then for fun, re-read it with William Shatner's voice.)

I'm reading this on my Note Pro right now and wondering the same thing. Who cares about a comparison to the Kindle?

Oh yeah. I gave up white and light grey for the same reason. I'm a sweaty bastard normally and I live in SW Florida now. Sweat is just gonna happen no matter what I do.

Those yellow pit stains aren't from your sweat. It's the aluminum in your anti-perspirant that causes that.

Is this the love child of Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama?

Take heart. Somewhere in the infinitude there is another you who is excited by this.

Well, at least I know I won't get a VD if I do that.

There were. But please do accept my apology for not making the sarcasm of my comment more obvious to you.

Only the white, female ones, it would seem.

Nothing at all to forgive. In fact, reading my initial thoughts on this I realize that my gut reaction was to defend the guy and by default blame the girl. I actually LOVE posts like this because it does challenge me to re-think what I've posted and to evolve beyond my thinking. There are many interesting perspectives

Well, thank you. It's open dialogue like this that prevents breakdowns in relationships. OK, Sarcasm aside, I'm not sure what post of mine you're reading, but I am very critical of this guy and the way he handles this situation too. It's not just about sex. It's about a communication breakdown and childish behavior -

And you are free to concoct your own opinion. That's what we do here. Welcome.

But there'd be a lot of great, angry sex.

I understand that. What's your point?

Why does HE have to fix the "I'm tired" part f the equation. She hasn't expressed an inequality in the relationship. And if she feels there is one, then she needs to bring that up at least once instead of simply saying she is too tired, etc. I'm not saying that there isn't an inequality in the balance of the chores,

Oh, agreed. He is a complete dick for ignoring her calls. This has, however, been an issue since at least the beginning of June when he started this spreadsheet - and likely way before that. They have both failed here.

Yes, and I fully expect that any follow up attempts at post-rejection conversation he's made have been met with rolled eyes due to clumsy, perhaps whiney, attempts to persuade her to change her mind and have sex - thereby putting her on the defense and demonstrating his obliviousness to the underlying issues causing

Well, that is until he becomes a major dick by ignoring her phone calls after sending this to her.

He's addressing more than she is though. She is shutting down communication entirely.

Maybe, or it might simply be that she is really disgusted with herself for gaining extra weight, and doesn't feel desirable.
