Yes, I'm going there.

I've hesitated to post this poll for a couple weeks now, because I wasn't sure how it would be taken. Still, this is a community, and like all communities, there is bound to be some attraction between some members of the community. I'm not not necessarily talking any rampant horniness or deep romantic infatuation, just someone whose personality you find especially attractive in a more-than-friendly way.

Let me be specific. It there anyone who - if the relationship status for either of you was different and you both lived near enough to each other - you would want to ask out or at least profess your feelings to? I apologize for the hypothetical, but I just wanted to have some limits to how the question could be taken. I'm excluding from this those of you who are already in a relationship with someone who posts on this board, since it is safe to assume that you are attracted to that person.

This poll is completely anonymous, and please, please, please do not mention anyone specifically below. I absolutely do not want this to be uncomfortable or awkward for anyone, and that would almost assuredly happen if anyone mentioned a name.

Yes, there are a few I would have no problem asking out if things were different. At least we would have a few things in common. Plus there would not be a problem talking about my toy collection.

Ha! Yeah, the toys would probably be a bit difficult to introduce to a new relationship otherwise.

I'm in the same boat as Tim. There is one person. And if I were single with no children, I'd definitely be willing to take that step.

Ya.. "Hi, my name is Tim, would you like to see my toys...uh sex toys. or "Would you put this big dildo in my ass?"

LOL ya that could get rough.

No, but I kinda wish I was. It would at least assure me some kind of compatibility - even if just based on sex toy appreciation - when I look for a new relationship. It's something I'm not sure how to broach w/ a new partner because I wasn't into pegging before my recently ex-boyfriend and my toy collection has multiplied like crazy since then as well.

I don't think I could approach them if I had the opportunity - I'd scare them off.

The new pickup line for 2011. I can just imagine Tim trying to score in a bar with that line.

In the bar it would be more like "Hey want to see my hard eleven inch?"

Wow. Ummm... You two and your big dildos

That is hilarious! If I were you, I'd worry they would be after my toys!

Why do you think you'd scare them off? You might be surprised

Don't say that about yourself. If they took off, it wouldn't be a fault on your part. Everyone has redeeming qualities!

Because that's the way it's always been, BBW. Why would it be any different here?

Agreed. Also, ditto what BBW Talks Toys said

I am firmly attached to my wife. There is one paricular person that shares some of her qualities, though.

A very diplomatic answer. Well done.

Be proud! On this whole entire planet, full of people, no one can ever step fully into your shoes.

I'd rather have them in my pants.

BTW, to answer my own question, yes there is someone, but I don't think that I could ask that person out.

It's a moot point, of course.

Well, I think one of the qualities may be anger, so I have to watch my step. She will be reading this tonight!

Because, if there is something concrete I have learned about people, they surprise you.

Not just that, but confidence is really high on most people's list of attractive qualities, regardless of whether they realize that it is.

I think that might be the reason they run - mine was thoroughly crushed by the same gender I'm attracted to. Funny ... spend the formative years being ridiculed and bullied by guys, being told I'm too ugly and gross for them, and now that I'm an adult with other adults I'm terrified of disgusting them by expressing interest.

Any rate, all the guys here are taken, gay, or too young.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I guess either I'm old or old fashioned, but I judge a person for what's on the inside. If the heart falls, then the rest goes with it. Outward beauty is a mask. I prefer to remove all masks.

As far as guys on here go, I couldn't tell you. My best advise is show people who you really are. The old saying is there's plenty of fish in the sea. You won't know 'til you through the hook out!

I haven't met anyone here that I'd call myself "attracted to". I do find some of the people here pretty interesting though.

I'm definitely attracted to someone on EF. Surprisingly enough, it's a woman.
I think I'm really attracted to her personality more than her woman-ness though. Lol. ^_^;

What markeagleone said. Anyway, you've posted a picture of yourself previously (in a corset, no less), and disgusting would be the very last word I'd use to describe you.

The one thing about marriages (well, divorces) anymore, as you unfortunately know, is that new men come on the market all the time. Not all of them are damaged goods.

Hold up. Vacci, you said no specific names... Does this mean I don't get to tell DWTim that I'm madly in love with him and I want to grab him by the hand and drag him/run away with him and live in blissful sin on an island in the pacific?

(I would be willing, of course, to have this awesome passionate life-altering platonic love. And your wife could come, too, Tim!)
