I'm guessing that 'Loiness' is sick of being every thirteen year old's fantasy around here. Why is it some people seem to think that these kind of remarks are flattering? For those of you that do, let me set you straight. There is a way of respectfully stating how attractive you find someone, and there is the vulgar, out-of-taste way of saying it. People in general do not like to be wolf whistled at, even if it is in jest. What they do appreciate is a sincere compliment, one that shows thoughtfulness and consideration, not some crude remark that makes ones skin crawl. Posts like the above make me cringe.
I find it terrible that some people are not brought up to treat a woman (or indeed anyone else) with respect. This kind of thing should be instilled in the home from an early age, in my view. Treat people as you yourself would like to be treated. I doubt anyone would like to be asked where they dropped their angel wings - so why say it in the first place?
Lioness is a very attractive young woman, and one that certainly does not deserve to be mistreated. So I urge anyone else posting here to think twice before they say anything potentially demeaning.
Sorry to go on like this, but this sort of thing truly gets on my nerves.
