An adroit piece of manipulation, blackfoot, and I applaud your ingenuity. It pi$$es me off that I fell for it, and I will be much more on my guard in the future.

And I don't buy the "call of the wild" stuff. Sorry. You can be anything you wish with a woman that doesn't matter a tuppence to you, but you'd not feel the same way in a LTR. I don't mean strait-laced as in "narrow sexual bandwith", by the way. I mean strait-laced as in "not much tolerance for shades of grey".

It's not a condemnation, or even a put-down. It's an observation.
