In a multitude of ways it seems.
The Good: The flood of offers to help fix up the Kwaka after my spill. Lots of guys all wanting to help out, lots of advice on dealing with insurance companies and the like. I'm not one of those cynical twats who thinks that it's by virtue of my feminine nature that's made people want to help out, I am genuinely thrilled at how people here are so keen on bikes and getting people on them
The Bad: I'm not sure how it's gone on here in the past but there seems to have been some amount of debate around these parts about who'll I'll end up with, what with being a solvent 20-something female who rides bikes and doesn't have a partner at present. What always amuses me/hacks me off in equal measure is that people I might genuinely be interested in meeting all seem to be the quiet types, and the, erm, not so suitable (for that read young enough to be my students/illiterate/desperate) are all over me (in a figurative sense). To be fair, this is how real life works too, but it's causing a mixture of , and . For the record, I am NOT a hooker (rugby or street), have no interest in becoming one, and I'm not going to have sex with you, at least not without a decent couple of dates and a drink or two.
The Ugly: What's with all the homophobia? I'm not a mega-PC-up-my-own-pomposity type, but come on people, it's 2009. Gay guys probably don't want to fuck you anyway, as they have some level of standards...
