So glad this comes from someone who cares about my feelings, and not a self-righteous, self-appointed old guardian of the young ewes.
Let's see, "when I see something I'm uncomfortable with, I tend to say something"
Except, "Everything I said was in reference to things you've already posted"
Oh, so when was this, since you weren't there for the joke, and you Never contacted me in person to discuss anything uncomfortable, let alone anything good, encouraging, or prayerful.
"You've said many times ..... that many women here were beautiful"
Oh, THE HORROR! ('Many' times? ... hmm, That's debateable, but since you like to dig so thoroughly for arrows to fling while flying around on your 'sedan', I'll take your word for it. I do regret saying many women here were beautiful, I should have said All.
"...had a prayer....that God would let you have at least one"...
I'm not a mormon, so OBVIOUSLY, this must have been said in the midst of more HUMOR, but I guess, lifted out of context, it really IS HORRIBLE and OFFENSIVE?! So I'll clarify, Dear Lord, Thank you, Jesus, for dying for our sins and making us accepted in the beloved, brothers and sisters in Christ, sons and daughters of You our God Most High. And Father, thank you that we can come to your throne of grace, you said we can ask in your name for help, and rejoice that you know all. Father, you know I get alot wrong, so I thank you for your patience with me. If I pray incorrectly, I ask your forgiveness, as I have alot to learn. Lord, you know I'm a kinda lonely guy, and your Word says it's not good for man to be alone. I don't yet know what this means for me, but since there are so many beautiful single women who may have the same feelings, I pray that it's your will that you have one for me, and I pray that you make me the man you want me to be, right for her, her right for me, and that you bring us together in your time, in love with each other, to love each other the way you love us, and that as one we can serve you with JOY and help others and bring glory to God in Jesus' name. Amen. And Father, please help us be content in you, whether single or with another. I pray this for all single ppl who are hoping for a partner from you, as I believe less lonliness can benefit all, but help us all to know that there isn't one status that is 'better' than the other, it's your will we ask for to be done, single or married. And, oops, I guess I did it without meaning any harm, so I hope this prayer (that you have one woman for me, at least one!, HUMOR! HAR HAR! Lord, thank you for humor) does not offend anyone. And Father, I ask Lord, please help us remove the self-righteous broomstick out of our own ..... eyes, so we can help remove the splinter of misunderstanding out of our brothers and sisters. Thank you, Jesus, in your name I pray, amen.
I had so much more, but I'm sorry for tying things up too much already, So For The Last Time ..... I WAS NOT 'LUSTING' AFTER SHINEY! IT WAS A JOKE ABOUT HOW ANY WOMAN LAYING FACE DOWN IN HER OWN DROOL IS SUCH AN APPEALING IMAGE WHAT MAN WOULDN'T LUST AFTER THAT?! AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A JOKE, AND HOW ANYONE COULD TAKE ALL THE OTHER THINGS SAID AS LITE-HEARTED SINGLES HUMOR AND LIFT ONE STATEMENT OUT OF IT ALL AND TURN THAT INTO A SUDDENLY SERIOUS STATEMENT IS BEYOND ME. I do not 'go after' women in the way you seem to imply, i have no desire for anyone half my age, and I'm real weary of that tired old accusation, and I bet a lot of other decent guys are as well. I've lost a half day on this, I'm 5 to 6 weeks new to this whole chat forum thing, still learning how to work this stupid tablet with one digit or a stylus, can't even enter live chat rooms, and this has gotten silly. And if someone is interested in someone else, and it's God's will, and they love each other, I'm not about to judge them by age, it's none of our stinkin business. What God joins together, let no one tear apart. A little more love and a little less oppression would probably do us all good. So for now, I'm done with this, but I'm sure there'll be more 'offended posters' attacking me for this as well. Father, forgive them, forgive us all, for Jesus' sake, in Jesus name. Amen. Now, I have a whole lot of post-reading to try to catch up on. If my wife tried to propose to me in one of them, and I missed it, I'm gonna be Ssoooooo Mmaaaaaaddd!

Sydlit, the word lust has a definite sexual connotation. Is it so farfetched to see why your comment is perceived as an inappropriate innuendo?
If that truly wasn't your intent, then it was a poor choice of words.

That awkward moment when your friend who is 5'5 uses your car and you dang near break a knee cap getting in because your legs are twice as long as hers...

Definitely a poor choice in words, but I think seoulsearch is being a little hard on Sydlit. He clarified that the joke, summed up, was just "thats attractive." Its like someone is doing something that isn't flattering and you say "That's attractive." Also seoulsearch is going a little too personal to the extent of defamation. He replied to her to clarify the situation, she should just accept what he said and move on. Not keep beating a dead horse and making the awkward thread that much more awkward, ironically. lol
Speaking of awkward, when you defend someone who is actually in the wrong but feel like they are being crucified without mercy. lol
PS: Can someone be crucified with mercy? haha
Chickwithsticks, we must know each other offline
So next time you borrow my car will you PUHLEASE move the seat back for me!! Sheesh

I do understand that opinions are going to vary.
I guess we can all just go back to being awkward.
My dad told me an awkward story once. He was with some Christian friends over at their house for dinner and his friend's wife really loved to chat. Well, she had a foot in mouth situation. They were discussing something and she said, "At least you aren't lazy like those Spanish people." Her husband froze and kicked her underneath the table. She said, "What!? Why are you kicking me?" He replied, "He's Spanish..." She exclaimed, "Oh, I'm sorry! Not all of them. Well... at least you aren't a darn Jew!" Her husband just slid underneath the table in utter shame. She was like, "No!? A Jew too?"
My dad is Spanish and Jewish. lol I think he just laughed it off.

Oh bless. Sometimes, people are... yeah. I got nutthin. That was awkward.
And really creepy and racist and horrible.
I give kudos to your Dad. I couldn't handle something like that nearly as gracefully.
I have an older co-worker who was telling me about a neighborhood party he went to. He lives in a community with mostly older, retired, and usually wealthy people--who are never shy about voicing their opinions.
One man was saying that "Mexicans should all be shot at the border when they try to cross over" and a lot of people were agreeing with him.
I even gasped over that as my co-worker was telling me about it. But the thing is... My co-worker is Mexican. You wouldn't guess it though because he has light hair and blue eyes, and that's not what most people around here associate "Mexican" with.
My co-worker told the guy off in a few choice words and left.
I have to admit, I'd probably be a lot more like that. So all the more kudos to your Dad. Racial comments are ALWAYS awkward... and usually when it's happened to me, I've been so stunned that I haven't been able to say anything and just walk away.
Now if it's someone I know and have some kind of working relationship with... that's different. One of my co-workers loves to tease me about 5-gallon bags of rice and soy sauce... LOL!!!
I once had a white boss who used to tease me all the time... and I used to call him, "Saltine" (cracker.)

No more passin' go for you, little missy.
That awkward moment when you realize you'll have to retire on Baltic Ave... (I'm trying to save money, you know... Have to leave them fancy places like Park Place and Boardwalk to dem rich folk. And forget a house or hotel... I'm thinking a nice trailer or one of those "Tiny Houses"...)
