"The Question" On Line

[Riverkilt]

So, this 64 year old fat guy is on a few singles boards. Great way to meet ladies, chat on line, sometimes meet f2f for a date.

Saturday I got an email from a lady who liked my profile on a singles board because she is of Celtic heritage too, likes kilts, likes long hair, and is also in recovery. She's in South Pasadena, CA has a master's degree, and is 48 years old. 16 years younger than I. Okay fine.

Everything is going politely until her 4th email when she ends with "I suppose all the women want to know if you want to go panties shopping with them. I do."

I'm not sure exactly what she means here - so ask. She doesn't answer right away. I do get another chatty email that ends with this, "Okay, here's the requisite question. What do you wear underneath? Does it depend upon the day, or the weather, or the mood? Or the woman? Must know."

Okay, starting to see a focus of her interest here....

A few hours later she responds to my clarification question, "The panties shopping reference was kilt related. I assumed that you, like I, wear panties. Perhaps not!"


Lots of chatty, getting to know you stuff in the main part of the emails, but always returning to "the question."

So, I answered her questions, what the heck...explained about black jockey shorts for work, underkilts, freedom when hiking etc. I also pointed out the old thing about if I'd asked you what you wore under your skirts you'd have dumped the connection immediately.

Just got this response from her. "I'll let the undergarment questions go. It was actually rude of me to have asked in the first place. Quite the double standard that I was using."

Nice that she owned that.

Somewhere, there's a scientific or psychiatric answer to why women have such a need to ask "the question."

Mods, hope I've stayed appropriate here and I know we're tired of "the question" but getting asked it by email by a much younger woman I just met was a bit different.
