In browsing the various profiles I get a kick out the woman that are upset with the reaction they get from men on this site. They start out saying men need to, and act like gentlemen, which we should. The one profile that stands out in my mine, is this woman was so emphatic about not responding to men having shots of their little head. In her friends network, ten of her fifteen friends had shot of their dick.
