| So . . . people in DiSantis’ state have published a study that “proves” that male Democrats are less “manly” than Republicans. I interpreted it the very other way... which "head" those guys think with :lol: I believe we are both correct. Some Floridians seem desperate to justify their use... |

And let's say bringing a date to school events just wasn't a part of the unwritten rules. . . Would school-age relationships still be as prevalent as they are now, as guys would st... |
