The O.C.

LOL.....could be.... But then how do you explain the fact that I'm so turned off by any sexual thought of a woman......but sport an instant woody at the mere thought of kissing a guy? Or that I crave a man....but have never even wondered what it would be like with a woman.....and then finally the fact that of all the girls/women I'm met throughout my life, I've never had any sort of emotional or passionate connection with them? If I felt equal parts for both men and women (bisexual?) I might agree with that theory.....but there are enough of us that recognize ourselves as "gay" as opposed to "bisexual" that I think explains it's more-or-less one-way or the other.....

You know....your story sounds pretty similar to mine...at least on an emotional level. I finally told my friend I was gay....and he had absolutely no problem with it. However, I never expressed how I felt about him.....or talked to him about our "relationship" in college. I guess I always kindof assumed he understood.....without me having to express it.....

It is a mystery. Remember my example of my best friend in college. I can still remember the emotional feelings that I had for him. It was SO strong. And remember, sex wasn't involved at all......(at least not until that tryst we had years later.) That's prolly the one thing that really has convinced me it's genetic....the emotional feelings that I've had for guys that I've been in love with. You can't just turn those strong internal feelings on-or-off...... It's not just the fact that you like a d*ck better than p*ssy.....or that you like to take it up the butt as opposed to putting it in a woman.....(although that IS part of it.)

All I know is.....God made me the way I am.....so he must have had a good reason for it......

Nah....don't worry. I'm signing off....just popped in ST: First Contact (yes I can be a geek at times) and am gonna watch that till I fall asleep........

:rotflmao:

I've had tons of wine to drink tonight....which means I smell a new thread popping up..... "C&G'ers....and their grooming habits...." LOL

Hell that would make ME yack too.......LOL AND....btw.....you straight boys should make sure you trim your package too.....I can only imagine chicks (as well as guys) would want that $h! trimmed......

But you HAVE to admit....the differences between the brands are pretty minor.... It's not like Toyota's Highlander compared to Lexus' RX350......as one example.....

Oh....Scharmer...you are SO gay.... LOL....j/k

I don't even like GUYS with hairy backs.... Hairy legs? YEA...! Hairy chest and stomach? YEA...! Hairy backs and shoulders?

You could be right.....but you know me well enough now.....I can't give up a "fight" that easily.....

I don't think any one person "seeks out" "homosexual" or "heterosexual" relationships. I think it just "happens." You fall in love with who you fall in love with. It's genetic. It's deep inside yourself. I don't think you have a choice what relationships you are gonna "seek out." Maybe you are totally straight....but I'm glad you had the chance to feel some special emotions with your friend. Nothing but good can every come from that. You'll always have those memories. I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to tell him how you feel......

It's funny because I don't know what REALLY makes one "gay" or "straight." Is it the overriding emotional feelings and attractions we have? Or is it the sexual attraction? Or is it a combination of both? I'm more inclined to believe a combination. Lord knows....I LOVE sex with a man....every part of it. But I could NEVER be in a relationship with someone if I didn't have that emotional connection/feeling/desires as well......on the flip side, I could never see myself with a woman.....because, sex aside, I could never envision the same level of emotional connection with a woman as what I've felt before with men......

True, true, true. I think though....most people don't see "Hidden Frontier" as "canon" in the Star Trek universe. One book I read, that took place after "Star Trek: First Contact" insinuated that "Lt. Hawk" was gay and had a gay bf on the Enterprise before he was assimilated. But that was in the book....and not in the actual movie. At least we had Wesley Crusher.....

Another way to look at it, non-sexually, is the whole feeling of falling in love. I've never had "butterflies" in my stomach with a woman.....but every time I see Joe when he comes to town, I instantly get those "butterflies" in my stomach when I see him walking down the terminal from the plane. Or the feeling I get when I kiss him.....just a simple kiss....drives me crazy. Or the anxiety I get when, for some reason, I don't hear from him during any particular day...."why doesn't he call?" "What's he doing?" I guess that more than anything is what really made me realize I was "gay." Although sex is a big component, it's by no means the ONLY component......

Some are hairy....some are smooth..... My BF has the NICEST, red pepperoni nipples....with a shading of hair around them..... (j/k.....now I'm REALLY trying to annoy Reg.....)

I'd venture quite highly that your argument is more conjecture and wishful thinking. While assuredly there are some (emphasis on "some" not "most") consumers that may desire the "GMC" brand, I'd argue the vast majority of buyers are looking for "the deal" or convenience of purchase.

Who says it's the V8 they are looking to sell...? I'd be more inclined to think it's BMW's excellent diesel technology for passenger cars they might be interested in.......

OK...here I go.... Do you think maybe you are bisexual? If you had that strong of an emotional bond with him......that may be telling you something about yourself. Being "gay" isn't just about what kind of sex you like to have.....there's a HUGE emotional component to it as well (as I've learned.)

Your presumption is that if a brand like GMC "magically" went away, that the business would leave GM and go to Ford, ChryCo, or the Imports. My argument is that it wouldn't necessarily. If your basic consumer is attracted to an Acadia, if that model is all-of-a-sudden not availabe, there's a great liklihood they'll go for an Enclave, Traverse, or Outlook. That's ONE example of my basic argument.

WOW....what a story..... It's funny....my friend in college broke up with a girlfriend.....because she bitched about how much time we spent together. He chose me over her.....funny......

That's f*cked up...... If ur not proud enough of a product to put your badge on it....why sell the product through your sales channels at all....??

Not me....seriously....have no desire to look at, touch, or feel "boobies". ICK Now, a nice set of man-pecs...? YUM...... (lame attempt to gross-out Reg.....)

I agree with most all of your post....which tells the story AGAIN..... ....that GM has way too many divisions and models.....
