I feel trip reports are for issues concerning travel, culture, customs, agency reports, crime, airlines flights, food, whether you got the runs and if the crapper worked in the flat, ect. Anything related to a particular girl or guy's behavior in a relationship is superfluous.  I've never understood this mentality of spilling the personal details of a trip. Johnnydudeman said it best: It's self-indulgent and feeds only the poster's ego. (I notice diplomacy is not his strong point either....but truth is.)

As for arguing it's useful to see how these girls react for cultural reasons, ect, thats nonsense. As Zoid so succinctly points out: everyone is different. Guess what Tonto?...that includes the squaws. How one guy's girl acts around him has no relation to how other guy's girls will act around them. There are at least two variables involved and that alone makes it heap difficult to draw any meaniful comparison. The sooner you realize women are women everywhere the sooner you'll get somewhere in your own travels.

The only one's who're interested in intimate personal details of a guy's trip are the real losers. Who cares who slept with who or what she said, he said? Who cares about such fluff? Come on, only true MOB losers want to live vicariously. Those details are (or should be) meaningless to the rest of us. Tell me, Dances With Lemmings...which tribe do you belong to?

Ok, I was hard on the kid. It was wrong, my bad. I'm not known for my diplomacy and I said nothing during his first few "reports" but I can only take so much. Seems others also agree with me. Ashamed? You bet. Ashamed when a guy spends big wampum to go over (vacation or not) and then acts like an babe in the woods or worse, cluelessly tells the world about it. Trust me, I did the guy a favor.

Trip exepriences are fine but they should be devoid of personal crap. Why anyone would expose the personal details of their life to a bunch of yahoos on an Internet BB is beyond me, unless it's purely for their own gratification. Such details are otherwise useless, they only serve to stoke the image of what inept bozos many men really are. This was aptly demonstrated by a certain schmuck who was/is so insecure he needs to constantly inform the world of his "luck" even after it became known to an informed few he had scraped the bottom of the barrel.

Ever notice how others keep a low profile? Dan, KenC, Zink, even 'ol Oscar there. Some are the most respected posters here, how much personal info do you hear from them? And this is after they married. Pros will never regurgitate personal details, they know better. As  Zink said, it's a question of privacy, and it doesn't have to be your wife either. Course, if a guy doesn't respect his own privacy he can't be expected to respect the women's eh? Who's business is it anyway? What's in *your* wallet?

It's odd you seem to know all this and yet don't see the problem with it.
And if you're not doing it because you're afraid you'll get beat on, thats not the proper reason. I'm open to disscusion on this but so far I see nothing useful about dispensing intimate or personal aspects of what a guy did regarding the women he married or met during a trip. Keep it useful as it relates to what others have to deal with when their time comes. Otherwise, yer just blowin smoke.

Btw, since you consider me a loser I might as well get me some of that gratification and remind you I have an exotic young squeeze, one of the most respected and well paid jobs in America, a million dollar teepee thats paid for, my own jet, summer digs abroad, and lots of other things that make me *no* better than anyone else....including (gosh!) you. However,  I certainly don't fall into the "Gee Wally" school of thinking so prevalent here, a tribe that includes too many indians and not enough chiefs.

lol....*now* I feel better.

PS: I've been to the Little Bighorn Memorial twice. Although they have ice cream, I've never seen any Custard stands.

I wish him and everyone the best and may all their dreams come true...I have nothing against anyone personally...
I think the follow-ups by everybody was a very healthy reading experience which seems to be how this place works...Everyone comparing and sharing their thoughts...And,then I guess,all of us developing our own opinions and style after all has been said and done....We're all pretty lucky to have this place to do whatever we choose with it....

My expressed post had to do with my "opinions" about what I was reading (which everyone knows what they say about opinions...including mine....
Before my first trip or even my first correspondence with a lady,I was fortunate to know about this site and had all the available informations about so many topics available to myself.

I read things here whether in agreement or not to the posters,that I would never had even thought about.It saved me a lot of grief and spared me imense time,money,problems and so much more...Whether I agreed or not,I was the beneficiary of topics and opinions I'd never thought of myself....

I don't think anyone here hates each other here.We all have so much in common or we wouldn't even be reading here...People always have differing opinions...it'd be a boring world and this a boring site if that was not true and we all were 100% alike.Who cares what one believes is right or wrong...We ALL benefit from this place just by being able to read all the experiences and opinions expressed here...

I never posted about my last couple of trips because I have almost no spare time and I respect my wife's privacy. I never was worried about criticism because I could care less what the majority of the critics think of me. But I know many guys that won't post here because of it and the girls usually give up quickly after they're attacked for their opinions.
