If you could change gender, would you?

If I had been a really pretty woman when I was young, I believe I would have been a better musician and scholar. When I was young, I so worried about getting laid, I was not nearly as productive as I could have been. If I were a really hot woman, getting laid would have been a given, and I would have been more concerned with getting good. Just think about Esperanza Spaulding, Tal Wilkenfeld, or some of the other attractive young bassists. The same is true in academics too.

I know being female would have its issues too, so I don't suggest that being a woman would be easy.:)

Finally, if I had been a slim, good looking guy, getting laid would not have been an issue, but knowing me as a young man, child support would have been a major issue!:hiding:
 
When i was a kid, briefly institutionalized in a mental facility in Orlando, FL, one of the questions the docs asked me on regular occassions, and in many different ways was, "Do you ever wish to be a girl?"

I always answered yes. Sometimes seriously, sometimes just to get on their nerves.

Truth is, I've always wanted to experience it, even if for only a little while.
 
I enjoy spending time in a woman's body - a small part of me does, anyway ;) I quite enjoy being a guy.

Fassa - You might want to spend some time consulting with a professional. Between this and your previous issues, I'd say you might be a little unstable.


And who is this "he who shall not be mentioned"? Could someone pm me??

What part of "shall not be mentioned" was confusing? Are you trying to get us all in trouble??!! :eek:
