Relationships. An important but much overlooked factor in male/female relationships

Tigasin321
By Tigasin321

I am referring of course to bottoms. There has been lots of discussion recently about relationships. Where they should begin and end. When do you call it quits etc. Also, there have been some unpleasant rants from darksideofthemoon criticizing the bottoms of some QLers. But what there hasn't been is a meaningful discussion about the importance of bottoms in relationships. 

 

For me bottoms are very important. I like slim, petite women but it is essential that they have a slightly large bottom or at least a bottom that looks like a bottom. A female bottom I mean.  Reviewing my previous failed relationships I have concluded that they went wrong all because the women in questions were too light in the bottom department. Okay this isn't the only reason. Its not even the most important reason but it is something in common with all of the failed relationships.

 

Am I alone here or am I on to something? Please discuss

No wonder the awful British ruled the world and were horrible to Indians for so long. The Brits can eat such horrible food that they can survive anywhere. American tacos and burritos, that's what I'm talking about. Much better than the Mexican stuff.

We would actually get the Gringos on their hols in Merida complaining that the tacos (the authentic thing) didn't taste like taco bell. Heinous.

I have a feeling that the word Beaver means something different to our British cousins. We North Americans are very innocent and to us a Beaver is a furry river mammal or the main character in a 1950s American sitcom.

By jauntie• 9 Apr 2008 11:29

that pair of puffy bits of their bottom!

 

i.e. if you are said to walk strangely, it could be said you were clenching your cheeks together etc etc

As an aside, I believe the actor (David Suchet?) who played Poirot said that was how he affected Poirot's 'mincing walk'.

have his trousers padded to give his bottom any shape at all!

 

I guess I'm the only person here who recalls the 1975 reggae song by a Jamaican (Carlos Malcolm) who, in an effort to appease his fans, he acknowledged his love of larger women in the song "Fattie Bum Bum", which became a UK Top 10 hit in September 1975.:

 

Hey fatty bum bum

you sweet sugar dumpling

Hey fatty bum bum

let me tell you something

 

no, not because your so big and fat

don't believe I'm afraid of that

never let the big size fool you ....

A lot of fat women consider their cellulite loaded lard buckets as a nice large ass,  which is really disgusting in my opinion. I do however appreciate a nice thick ass such as Vida Guerra, an ass that has been developed well from exercise and is not covered with hideous stretch marks. I also can't stand flat and saggy asses.

I thought that love and the bottom would grow in equal part. Now I know that love and bottom size are not directly correlated. The trick is to fall in love with a slim girl with a slightly big bottom.

By techdoctor• 7 Apr 2008 15:05

It's not wrong to say you like big bottoms. Bottoms are something obvious to see isn't it? If you had small bottoms as the common factor in all your failed relationships, why did you get into them in the first place? You thought it will grow up on you is it?

 

Could the reason for failures be something else? Maybe your own bottoms or something else..?

 

I like the frankness of your post. Cheers!
