Would that make a metrosexual a Marnus ? Because a Manus, minus the M, is something bad.

An anus is bad? Why, without it we'd all be full of merde!

No i ment anus is a bad classification of human.

Yes and I agree my friend, with out the ability to "void" ourselves, we would be "full of merde!" And there is already to many of those people out there.

Diving.... I don't dive alone either, but not because of my skill level. If you're not NEAR good enough to dive alone; you shouldn't be in the water at all. The buddy system is not intended to compensate for knowledge and skill. If you're not skilled enough to be in the water alone, they you're a danger to yourself and your buddy

Well, Twinklez...I guess this will be one of the time I come to life....The above is an OPINION...even stated as fact., it is an opinion...you know nothing about my diving or my skill at being a buddy or what MY requirements for dving alone would be.plus what class did you take that allows you to judge others skills without ever being exposed to them. ..I bet if this was a thread...there would be quite a variation of OPINIONS..from if your brave enough ...go for it....some would speak of specific certifications. MY opinion is that one would be an exemplary dver with many dives in a WIDE variety of environments and EXEMPLARY navigator with specific training in that area...since I don't meet MY requirements.....I don't do it...However, if you feel comfortable diving alone with 60 logged dive,,,that is your decision...I don't think it's safe...but its your decision.

I don't need to know about your diving. You made the statement about not being "near good enough." I simply shared what I've been taught, which has been a topic here on SD in many threads.

It means that they should not be dependent on their buddy for the knowledge and skills to do that dive. Another expression that means much the same thing is that "a dependent dive buddy is a danger to the team."

All dives are solo dives, it just almost all the time you solo dive with trusted friends to share the experience and in case anything goes not as planned. But you should be self sufficient in case you have to self rescue in a worst case senerio.

And I don't care about your diving experience either. If I dive with you once and not again, I think the point will be made.

Oh...so THAT's why you ditched me at CSSP! Wait a minute...I was the one with motors on my fins, wasn't I? Next time we'll bundle bunny up so we won't be worried about anyone getting cold; and I promise to fin once for your twice.

SD is not a dating site, but many people do meet and date here. Laundramats aren't dating sites either, nor are grocery stores; yet many singles end up meeting each other there. If you do what other singles are doing and go where they, you are more likely to meet someone. But if you go with a bag over your head, if they notice you, it won't be the way you want to be noticed.

I don't post my phot in grocery stores or laundry mats (or in the post office for that matter)

Apparently SD's singles aren't the only ones mulling over this subject.
