I'm straight and I've turned down some action that would apparently make you guys think I'm gay. Not much, mind you, but sometimes it just isn't worth it or it's just wrong for one of several legitimate reasons.

Our Miss Tweezers is an attractive woman with plenty of self confidence but chemistry is either there or it's not. I could tell you guys stories of straight guys passing on dating opportunities with beautiful women that you obviously would never believe. Not everyone has the same opportunities in this world.

One of my best friends is one of those guys who "does whatever he wants", as the old saying goes. He had Elle McPherson when she was fresh off the boat in the early '80s and he was in college at Brown. He dumped her for someone else that you guys would think was a downgrade but he was in love with her. Elle was beautiful but boring, he said. Not implying that tweezers is boring, (what's up with that name?), just that attraction and romantic interest is not as simple as some are making it. I realize that this is the Internet and there is plenty of joking but I don't think it's helping the young lady in this case.

What I get from your posts, Tweezers, is that you have a good head on your shoulders and that is so much more valuable than physical gifts alone. If you don't mind my asking, what sort of work do you do? How did you find this place? Car enthusiast? Enquiring minds and all that...
