We sound like we live parallel lives, Burt. Women with great qualities in many other areas, but the SSM and the "princess" things can be killers to any man.

When I used to post on the SSM forum, people used to tell me to confidently use humor when rejected, saying something like "Oh well . . . thought would be fun! Maybe next time!", smack her playfully on the ass, and go about my life.

Easier said than done.
