As a total newbie on this forum, I'm immediately struck with total confusion about age and sex in some of these threads.

Most notably, in the Baby-related threads (Man. I cannot tell you how bewildered I was to read some of those.), exercising threads, and Brad Pitt related threads. A lot of the names here don't convey sex, and some in fact infer the opposite sex, so I eventually decided to settle on the neutral ground that everyone was a hermaphrodite and put to subject to rest.

But that's just weird.

So, instead, how old and what sex are you guys? I realize almost immediatley that this a newbie post to just huck into the community, and probably a kind've annoying one at that, but, hey, it's easier than thinking of you all some sort sexless, ageless entities that exist totally on the internet.

As you can probably tell by my total lack of tact and intelligence, I am a 19 year old guy (I say guy. Not boy, or man. Boy implies innocence and man implies sophistication, and I have neither). I know my name is as uninformative as possible, I got the idea from Dark City where a lot of the people are named after objects, such as Mr. Hand, Mr. Clock, etc, and since I was coming up with nil on the name I just picked an inanimate object and, presto, I was born.

I make this postly mostly to remove confusion and to eliminate the chance of offending some of you by, say, asking a 53 year old male construction worker how the baby's coming along or asking a 27 year old female intern if the male libido really does drop at her age. Also, it's social. And it raises my post count.

I'm 18, and a girl.

Well, back to my unicorns.

Seriously, you have to read the threads to know the players. We are all very forthcoming about who we are, but I've never seen a succesful a/s/l thread.

Or have I mixed T with someone else?

For my part, I think the hair and the torso should indicate my pure, raging femininity. Oh yeah, and I'm older than you, so have some respect.

Book, greetings. I am a very elderly 33yr old woman with a very chi-chi streak of white hair at the right temple, a'la Bonnie Raitt. My job requires me to be expert at making fart noises and to know the Harry Potter books by heart. (Which, thanks to TomD, I'm finally caught up on. )

My preference in romantic liasons? Tall, twinkly-eyed Canadian men with deep voices, rapier wit, and keen insight into both geopolitical and interpersonal relationships. Poetry and massage skills are a must. Lack of pun-making skills wouldn't have been a deal breaker, but his having them sure did sweeten the pot.

Ryuko, that was so funny that I nearly wet my pants!

I am thirtysomething going on 29 until I just can't get away with it anymore. I am male and that can be fairly easily determined from my lack of insight concerning the other sex.

I sell drugs and post on "Hatcrack", (thanks CT for that one) in between job duties. I have 2 kids, (a boy and a girl), and a dog and a cat. I just gave away the turtle, and I am in the process of moving.

There is also a strong chance that I am insane.

I'm a Daddy Long Legs, approximately eighteen hours old. At the end of each day I perish, only to be reincarnated the next day as a different Daddy Long Legs.

(Unfortunately I'm doomed forever to be reincarnated as a Daddy Long Legs, I can't come back as a preying mantis, for example.)

Alternately, my name and age can be found with a little research among my posts. But I will not reveal it on demand.

EDIT: You think your existance is fragile????

Book, it might be a good idea to check the landmark posts... it'd give you a good idea not only of the a/s/l of the usual jatrequero suspects, but also a bit more history about them.

Of course, many of us have not achieved a post count that warrants such a landmark thread (even though we've been here for two years). The closest thing I have is this, but that doesn't reveal a whole lot... other than the fact that I'm evil.



I'm 25 and living in New Jersey. Currently sexless, but only because I haven't found a girl recently who can handle my unrivaled virility.

Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :
 
I don't think Marek is that confusing as far as gender, but I have met both males and females with that name, so I'll go ahead and state that I am a guy. It is true that it gives no clue of age, but then again it isn't my real name. I took the name so no one could have the power over me that comes with knowing someone's true name.(Suneun at least you don't have to worry about that) Since I doubt anyone here has both the power and the malice to use such things against a person, especially me I will say who I am.

I am Mikola Mozhaiski, an ancient slovic wizard and god. I am immortal, and am as old as time itself as all gods are. But I have only been in the form and of Mikola since my people called out for a wizard and god to intercede for them among the forces of nature, and when they called for him by name, I knew that name was mine and I realized that I am Mikola Mozhaiski, and once I became Mikola, I realized that it is whom I have always have been. See old as time like I said.

When you are immortal you have time to read and write posts this long, sorry Teshi, but give me a while I might be able to think of a spell to make you make a preying mantis that dies and is reincarnated each day. While I'm using my powers I just remembered a spell for ressurecting a dragon, I've always wanted to use but never really had a reason, so I will bring ak back as long as she doesn't attack any my people. And ak I am sure everyone knows 14,000 is early adolescence for dragons.

My screen name was purposely chosen for it's ambiguousness. I fear however, that my age permeates through my posts.

Okay, I'll stop that.
