Thanks, handsome! I like fooling around with the voice. I delete most of them.

Men who underestimate women do so at their own risk. Always.

True. She could have given him a little credit for trying, don't you think?

I should write a second version where she finds the superman suit provocative... might be good.

But Lois lane watched and was jealous cross the street. Superman would get dinner in a bowl with the dog.

I saw a tee shirt for women that could be appropriate. UNDERESTIMATE ME… that will be fun.

Well, I'm just wondering whether here is the place to admit that I WOULD have been impressed....! 🦸

Sharron Bassano's avatar

Well, yes! Admit it. Me too. I actually would be impressed no matter what he had on under his outer clothing. Impressed, first of all , that he could lift me, and second just because he was removing his clothes in my bedroom! Yowza!

A slight miscalculation on his part, perhaps!

I imagine he will try again. Maybe with Groucho glasses? Or a red rubber nose?

Um, well, maybe. But definitely more potent than the Hulk.

Well, no.... probably not. On the other hand... no accounting for taste...

.. absolute Truth.. re ‘taste’ - & will add this note - on several occasions was called upon to ‘initiate tactical withdrawal for women’ - from certain situations where the male part of the equation apparently ‘had no boundaries’ .. These were truly rare situations.. deep waters .. and at times noted a lot of tools & closets.. obvious ‘restraining & playacting stuff.. & one time felt like I’d entered a ‘clown costume’ 2nd hand store.. & yes ms Bassano - duly noted those giant clown shoes.. & mirror overhead - dime store cuffs on the bed posts too.. but the ‘tell’ was Duct Tape & Clamps.. or as I knew from the film biz.. Gaffer’s Tape & Grip gear.. somebody was makin ‘home movies’ as a side hustle & was skipppin the ‘Signed Release Form.. oh deary me.. ‘taste.. !

Ewww. Not what I had in mind at all in this silly little story. Sounds pitiful...

Thomas D’Arcy O’Donnell's avatar

Tell no one thanks.. but I still ‘don’t get the - ‘kink stuff

Now for some or even many - it’s rejuvenated or stimulates their romance etc in playful ways.. and can get behind that for sure.. but dammit I is ‘old school .. & the ‘only role I can play’ is uh.. ME !

I do however think this is a super rich topic / territory just begging for further explorations haha ! And fascinated to read n hear the perspectives from the fairer sex !

Maybe she prefers the Clark Kent type. Speaking of which, Why is it that no one has ever seen James Ron and superman in the same room together. Very suspicious.

Ohhh, yes, Jim. I have wondered that very thing myself.... Mysterious.

Not **that** impressed, anyway. Better to underpromise and overdeliver I think.

Sounds like great advice to me! Thank you, Tom. Wouldn't a woman rather be surprised than disappointed?
