Making a contest like this in a private, "trusted-people only" forum would I believe put to rest many of the girls natural objections. Lacking a better one, the BOTM would do.
Zaia, it's the second time I hear you talking about your bad experience, and again I think that if one of my girl friends had such a problem, and if I managed to find the guy, I'd fear for my actions. There's no one I despise and instintively hate so much as women abusing fuckers.
About the breasts thing.. well, I have girl friends who've had no qualms about showing me their breasts just to make a point (for ex, this girl was saying one of her breasts was smaller than the other one ) or stripping in front of me at the beach or while changing clothes. The beaches, lakes, fields always have many girls without the upper part of the bikini, here in Europe.. It's not a big deal. I would always object posting the photos here, but that's because of the creeps who would ctrl+c them..

Ah, Europe. Where candle-lit restaurants means "quaint" and not "deteriorating public facilities" and the boobs are good and plentiful.

Really? Well then tell her that I think she's hot and I'm not kidding.

That shuts off a buttload of the forum from voting, however... but the suggestion itself has merit.

Zaia, if you don't mind my asking, how did this online stalking situation begin? Did you talk to this person online initially, discover that he was creepy, and then run into trouble getting rid of him? I understand if you don't want to answer, but I'm just curious.
I don't mind.
To make a long story fairly short, I talked to him through a music chat room for about six months during my freshman year, when he said he lived in Seattle. I wasn't very forthcoming with my personal information but had shown him a picture of me at one point--since he was allegedly in Washington state, I didn't think it mattered much. Turns out he was from Washington--Washington, D.C. He managed to find the college I attended my sophomore year from whatever I had said about it, looked up my school email address (he knew my first name and that I was a percussionist--not too many female drummers out there), broke into my email, and started sending me emails from it to let me know it was him. Shortly thereafter he learned where I lived, my daily routine, etc. He would send emails telling me what kind of bra I was wearing that day, he started leaving messages on my answering machine (near the end), and about two weeks before he was caught, he tried to break into my apartment while I was there alone (I don't think he knew I was there, though). I was having campus security escort me across campus to a party when he slipped up and got nabbed.
Urge to kill... rising...
That is utterly beneath contempt. Maybe I'm too chivalrous for my own good, but I suddenly have this urge to grab Justitia (my arming sword, and the name is not a coincidence) and go smite something, preferably him. (Note to picky mods: This is not a death threat, as I'm not going to actually do it.)
D.W., I consider myself to be about 98% straight and your wife is hot enough that, were we in the same room, I'd probably try to make out with her. Not that she'd like that as far as compliments (or make-out sessions) go, but there it is.

Quit teasing us. BTW, given your past experience, have you ever thought of taking up self defence lessons? Just wondering.
Mike, I think I speak for the good majority of the males on this board when I say that your wife is quite the hottie....... Lucky bastard
1. I thought it'd punctuate the message more than saying, "Yeah, Mike, she is really pretty! Tell her I said so too!"
2. It's true.

I started taking some during that incident, even though my schedule was insanely busy. I was good about sticking with the classes for a while, but eventually my workload from school and the teaching I was doing just didn't allow for it anymore.

Ah, Mrs. Wong. The one female on SDNet (if she ever joined) that nobody would hit on (except Mike, of course).
Not for lack of want, but more from fear.

It was a totally random person in that case. He also never found me in real life but just claimed he could. However, one use of AOL is that it's all but impossible for someone to find your address with it, so he couldn't. That is part of the reason that I still have AOL and intend to keep it--with the way it rotates IP adresses it is very hard for your location to be pinned down by some random lunatic. Sorry to all the mods whom that gives headaches to here, but I view it as a legitimate security precaution for my own personal safety.
I'll add that I suspect women who have been using the internet longer are more likely to have had this happen. Back in the Bad Old Days there were proportionally fewer women online, and a proportionally higher number of men who are tech specialists and less likely to have relationships, IE, to have more built up sexual tension. So while the younger generation of female internet users is less likely to have experienced, those of us who have been connecting for more than a decade are probably more likely to have.

The contest will take place when I find out where all the women live and get remote hidden spycams installed in their showers.
aerius: I'll vote for you if you sleep with me. Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

We have a Chief onboard whose daughter is away at College. His solution? (Since he wasn't able to be around).
EDIT: Forget the image, point is he got her an H&K .45 compact.
Although, it should be pointed out He's a Gunnersmate, so his solution isn't that surprising and doesn't work for everyone. (or most) And eventually the guy did try to break in, much to his bad fortune. She kept him sitting still in the corner until the cops arrived.

Hmm... with one contestant this won't be much of a contest.... though on the other hand I'm sure Mike will be happy to tell his wife that she won the "Aphrodite" contest.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.
