Twenty Questions
I keep discovering that if you're going to be the kind of person who asks questions about strangers' private lives, it's best to have a ninja approach to the matter.
For example, from Sunday:
Me: Hello, my name's Wombat.
Middle-Aged Woman: Hello, I'm Liz.
Me: So you and Ray are a couple? (Motioning to man standing next to her.)
MAW: (Slight hesitation.) We're married, but separated.
Me: But you look so cute together. (Lying through my teeth)
MAW: (Looking at Ray, standing at her side smiling like a goof) It's complicated.
At which point she launched into a surprisingly detailed description of why their three-year old marriage slumped to its current state of them being cocktail companions, but neither sexual nor domestic partners.
Two points:
1. Age does not give people wisdom.
2. If you're going to ask personal questions, just launch into it. They're dying to tell you.

Wombie, stop hitting on my ex! ;)
Well, that could have been me and the X, except I haven't taken a limo in well,.... ever!
That's funny. Similar things have happened to me. When you start up a conversation with a stranger you never know what kind ofjuicy details will come out!
Don't have that problem here, British persons do not offer ANY personal details*. Enjoy it.
*Except after a few pints of course.
LOL So far, I haven't asked a total stranger about their private lives. See, I'm looking at it in my perspective. If some random stranger asks me about my love life or whatnot, that will really creep me out. But I did enjoy reading your post, it was rather interesting, but again, I wouldn't do something like that. :-)
Married people don't market marriage well.
I was in the company of a married couple last weekend and the wife had the nerve to make a joke about her husband's "manhood" being less than average. I wanted to smack her in the face for him.
So...did you take Liz around back for a little spice in her life?
LOL, SNAF.
I could ask a stranger almost anything (if the time was right). However, being a jerk in front of others is not a goal of mine. It usually has to be just right and chocked with humor.
However, on occasion you run into that rude bitch personality and you just want to expose the hypocrisy. Or at least let every other guy within ear shot know this is one place you don't wanna go.
Blurting out your husbands less than large member tells me lots already about that person. 1. She apparently places size over everything else. 2. She is already making comments that say 'it's over' and it's just a matter of time before that fact become legal. Unfortunately, all you can do is make a mental note and watch for the future results.
I have found that while it's great to have a woman with the perfect face, perfect breasts or that perfect rear-end...there is so much in the personality that can make even such beauty a total nightmare.
There is a saying: "For every beautiful woman, there is a guy out there that's tired of putting up with her shit."
its amazing the content you find on online dating sites...

And what about adding some more pics? No offence, page is really great. But according to the scientists humans acquire info much more effective when there are certain useful images.
