Not only do we Americans like to practice endlessly, sometimes that practice makes us late showing up for the wars (cf. 1916 and 1941)
As for Gryphin getting away with dating multiple women at the same time, I'm impressed. I haven't tried that since high school. And it didn't work well there either. Of course, since he claims to be up front about it, his dates are probably seeing multiple men as well; I hope everyone is playing it "safe" when they circle the wagons
Finally, I had considered suggesting moving the male posturing to it's own thread, not because it detracted from the serious topics but because I couldn't remember which thread it was in! Now that it's named properly, I can find it again...
