Celibacy Watch 2007
A few months ago I downgraded my celibacy status from active to ho-hum. It occurred to me that last year’s round of “conscious celibacy” only lasted so long as I wasn’t seeing anyone I wanted to rub bits with. So that’s not really the point, is it? If I’d run into someone totally compelling I’d have chucked it, cos, well, that’s what I did after nine months.
It was a really handy thing to tell people who wanted to date me. I miss that. It would’ve come in handy a few times recently. I’m going out to coffee, maybe, today. He wants to meet me and I want to meet him (he’s funnier’n hell), but I don’t want to “do” him, kwim? I’m already in an ongoing “let’s do coffee” thing with someone I’ve been keeping at arm’s length. I really like hanging, you know, but, well, whatever. But I like to get out, and I like these people, they just happen to be male people, with “needs” and moustaches. I don’t date moustaches, you know? Scruffy growth quite does it for me, but a planned upper lip-scaping so does not.
I could just tell people I don’t do moustaches (and send them to Fodon) or I could just get over myself and stop thinking I’m the end-all, be-all. Maybe they’ll hate my eyeliner.

You could tell them you don’t do moustaches and buy them razors. I’m extremely anti-moustache. Needs don’t go away that easy, though. Unless it’s the need for a razor to shave off the moustache.
Hate your eyeliner? Inconceivable.
Would you reconsider if it were a moustache like this?
I am also anti-moustachio. icky, except the handle bars and whatever the fuck Kalli found up there. And even then I just want to look at them, I don’t want to mingle parts with them.
I haven’t had sex since January. I hate one night stands but less than I hate relationships.
ah, all you mustache haters. It adds personality to a face.
But don’t send them my way. I AM celibate. Actively.
is that oxymoronic?
Staches w/out chin hair are porn staches so, I only do moustaches when they are accompanied by goatee like beards.
for reasons i prefer not to divulge (baha) i was just today reading the wiki entry for the village people, which states, in part, “The original ad for recruiting the group was ‘Macho Types Wanted: Must Have Moustache.’” so i guess that means you’re not dressing up like a construction worker when you get coffee, ha. too bad they started making the sponge again; elaine had the best excuse ever.
Tex torments me with the on-again, off-again moustache business. Blech! I hate it!
But…. I told him at our very first date I didn’t date smokers, which he was. Over the next 6 weeks he cut down, but couldn’t quite quit. Then I laid down the law– cigs or me. He chose me. Good choice, if I don’t say so myself.
I really should have thrown the moustache in there too, while I was at it.
You could have just told him that you have Faciochaetophobia….and then leave him puzzling about that for weeks on end.

Some moustaches are better than others.
Hope things are looking better for you!
