Three online conversations I had yesterday with other bloggers:
WITH CHANTEL
Neil: I see you’re going to BlogHer. Do men go to BlogHer?
Chantel: Definitely. You should come. You can blog live about it.
Neil: I don’t know. It undercuts the whole reason for BlogHer if men go to it. Besides, it would feel a little wussy going to it, with all that girl stuff.
Chantel: No, I think you’ll fit right in.
Neil: Huh? What do you mean by that?
WITH FEMME D’ESPOIR
Femme: Don’t color it, Neil. A man’s gray is sexy! Grey hair looks distinguished on a man. Of course, most men don’t find it attractive on a woman.
Neil: Actually, I think it looks pretty good on a woman, too.
Femme: Well, you’re not a regular man.
Neil: Huh? What do you mean by that?
WITH BROOKE
Neil: Is that a photo of you in your last post?
Brooke: Which one?
Neil: The one that’s all blurry and you seem to not be wearing a top.
Brooke: Ha Ha. That’s my ex-boyfriend.
Neil: Jeez. I was getting turned on by your ex-boyfriend.
Brooke: He is hot.
Neil: I got totally confused with his long hair and his chest.
Brooke: Yes, he had a bigger chest than I did.
Neil: I guess I should stop trying to use Photoshop to try to unblur it.
Brooke: You want to see the original?
Neil: Uh… sure.
Brooke sends me the photo in an attachment.
Neil: Wow, he has some bod!
Brooke: I knew you’d think so.
Neil: Huh? What do you mean by that?
Brooke’s description of the exchange is much better.
A Year Ago on Citizen of the Month: Parents Visit LA
SueBob — I probably agree with you. No offense taken.
Tatyana — Ha Ha. You truly are a cunning linguist!
Miss Syl, Sarah, Chantel — thank you for your steamy comments. The first thing I did this morning and the last thing I did night was to read YOUR comments, over and over, and will continue doing so, over and over, for at least a month.
Dave – 99% of Neil’s commenting readers might have a female online presence, but then there’s really no way to know how many are actually female.
Did the flirting slow down following Miss Syl’s challenge, or is that just my imagination?
Neil, chicks love A) gay guys and B) straight guys that can be teased about how gay they might be.
Here’s the ultimate answer that (I think) you’re looking for:
You’re totally do-able. Metro or not.
(not looking for the Sunday slot here. I haven’t written anything of any value in like a week! Some day I will earn it…)
what you remember of the conversation and what she remembers = very funny.
Female reader’s email from yesterday:
“Honestly, I’ve had moments where the fawning has become so nauseating that I consider not coming back. But you’re a good writer and decent human being and I like to think that you take it all with a grain of salt. So I come back and keep the Pepto close at hand.”
Do you think she’s trying to hit on me?
Highly doubtful. But she does appear to like you.
That’s just as important, Heather!
Is anyone upset? Don’t be – it’s only history! The Theatre of Ideas is supposed to be fun!
Get those Barbra Streisand tickets yet, macho man?
I’m leaning a little in the same direction as SueBob. There’s a huge part of me that believes once women get something all to themselves (aside from childcare, the drudgery of housework and organized religion’s constant attempts to maintain our second-class status), guys want a piece of it. Part of me wants to say, “Not so fast, buddy. Why don’t you wait a few hundred years or so and see if we feel you deserve to sit at our special table”.
Other than that, Neil, I’d be okay with you being at BlogHer. You seem like a good egg.
OK, so maybe I won’t go to BlogHer after all. Leave it to the chicks. But after the conference, you’re all invited to drive down to LA for some milk and cookies at my house.
Well, I am just a few miles north, so maybe I will come down for milk and cookies and to tell you how men are always ruining women’s lives, live and in person. Sound like fun? Let’s make a date!
I knew it was you Brooke referenced in that post. Glad I could take the heat for you Neil. I’m here for you man.
And to think, I immediately assumed that it was Egan Brooke was chatting with. I didn’t think of you at all! Though, I don’t know if that’s an insult or a compliment.

Oh, Miss Syl, you terrible temptress. I write smut like it’s going out of style and would love to imagine Neil’s face turning a lovely shade of crimson by some morsel of smuttery written just for him.
But… I’m married. That wouldn’t be proper, now would it? Neil will just have to IMAGINE what I would secretly whisper in his ear while sitting demurely on his lap, bare legs propped on the edge of his desk, sweetly innocent summer dress slowly sliding up my thighs while I wiggle about, getting comfortable for a loooooong talk about…you know, things…
