I am certain they would have reacted differently if you were pulling a nice girls gold ring from the earth when they came by.

When that happens I always check to see if I'm zipped up.

Several years ago my chest dropped so I cant see that low now to tell if I am zipped up

Two girls my age walked pass me while I was detecting and when they looked at me they said eww :T

They probably got a whiff of their failure laden futures in their world filled with air headed "role models" and duck faced selfies. Don't worry...one can only drink so many $8 spiced mocha-chai frappuccino with extra foam before it goes to straight to their thighs. Karma is not a nice lady and she normally strikes self obsessed dolts pretty hard.

My first date with my only wife so far [37 years in May] was to go fishing for catfish.

Choose wisely.

(PS - she caught a very nice 20" brown bullhead. Both were keepers)

.... Choose wisely.

When I was young and single, I asked an older mentor friend of mine (who had finished "sewing his wild oats" years earlier) for advice on women. And one thing he told me, that sticks with me to this day: "Avoid those Macy's girls" Ie.: the high maintenance fru-fru ones. YES THEY ARE THEY EYE-CANDY (dressed to the nines, etc....). Yet they are nothing but headaches and money-pits.

Unless of course you've got lots of money, and your middle name can be "yes dear" to their every whim.

All get the 'furniture disease' at some point. That's when your chest drops into your drawers. RIP Jerry Clower.
