Search Results: great conversation

I had a friend in my car the other day, and when we reached our destination, I set the parking brake, as I always do. My friend literally asked what it was, and when I explained, he was confused.

So it became a topic of conversation amongst my other friends, and I was amazed that none of them ever used it. Maybe it's because I grew up driving manual transmissions, but even in an automatic, I always use it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, the parking brake/hand brake is a device in your vehicle that engages the brake, or a lock, on your wheels, which prevents the wheels from turning, independently of placing that vehicle in park.

The "P" on your gearshift is a separate device that engages a prawl on the transmission, to prevent it from engaging. While this does prevent the car from rolling, this prawl can get worn out, or even break, especially if used on hills, as it is subject to a greater amount of pressure, due to the weight of the vehicle.

I'm just curious if anyone else routinely uses their parking brake, as is recommended, or if I'm really the only one.

There are times I had my eyes wonder and I have lecherous thoughts. I actually have twice in my life had a random sexual encounters with two attractive women who didn’t even ask my name. They initiated and didn’t care about conversation.

It was thrilling in the moment but I didn’t also feel great about it later I actually tried to slow things down but it felt like it was killing the rush.

I have never did the opposite. I’ve had one night stands where I made the moves first but I did spend some time getting to know the girl first. It’s actually very dangerous nowadays (false allegations) for a man to move that fast. I can’t and won’t do it.

But there is a stereotype that ALL men look at women as “objects” that is grossly overrated. Some definitely do. But I believe to a certain extent most guys do want at least minimal discussion before jumping in.

But really do women still believe that most men think this way? At best only 20% of them would act like this. Not 80%.
