Sheesh, all you people (except GT). It wasn't intended to be taken seriously.  Cool your jets or report away, as you please.

I didn't believe you meant it in a serious way, at all. It's just not funny. Hey, I joke a lot, and cross the line from time to time. OK, often. But that's a line I don't mess with.

Here's the thing.  It is highly likely that someone will come on here and read that and think it is for real, because the ability of this particular poster to communicate and understand humor can best be described as "wanting".  So it comes across as serious advice.  

If I am out at the range with my friends, we might joke about having someone hold the target, or shoot someone in the butt if they don't behave themselves, but we are all among people we have known for a long time, and who have demonstrated their commitment to safety and demonstrated they know what they are doing.  Say something like that to a stranger, and the next thing you know, you're talking to an LEO (law enforcement officer).

Add in the emotional ups and downs of rapid weight loss, and it is just a huge mess waiting to happen.  How many people read everything they see as gospel because it already fits their point of view, or it comes across as a good idea?

WORSE!  Now it is MARRIED MEN trying to run around on their wives...  Before, I was at least invisible to them because in their mind "someone better was at home".

Unfortunately, I get that too on occasion.  From both sexes.  Usually if I go to a party though or when I tried a local dating site.  People are the worse.

I find that hard to believe because you are beautiful!!  And they are talking about unwanted attention, so be grateful for that!!  Flirting is perfectly acceptable if done right!

To Thine Own Self Be True!!
