Both of my online dates were hotter in person -- in one case, really significantly hotter.

In my experience, it's really really easy for someone to be hotter in person than in photography.

Talking of looking hot in photographs .... I passed on that naked famous men link, and one friend asked whether Brad Pitt was circumcised. I said, yes, I think so, and guessed that a sizeable proportion of American men his age are. She was surprised, so I thought I'd come here to check my assumption (formed from parenting newsgroups and Sex and the City).

Yes, an overwhelming number of No. American men are.

an overwhelming number

Despite all the many years of junior high and high school gym showers (and beyond), I think I've only ever seen one uncircumcised penis in real life.

I thought the first one I ever saw was deformed, not being in the know. I was about 11.

13 does not include seeing friends' little boys run around the house naked or seeing other babies getting changed at the daycare. That would add maybe three to the total count.

I thought the first *circ'ed* cock I saw was deformed, until I realised what it must be. I was 22.

I had this conversation with an ex g/friend and she'd *never* seen a circ'd one. Ever. She wasn't even entirely sure what they'd look like.

No, no, Ned. RFTS is circus-sized. She's 3'2" and rolls cigarettes with her feet.

I've never been close to any other cut ones. I think I know a couple of small boys who have had it done for medical reasons. I'm pretty sure I know plenty of women who have never seen one. The bloke I knew had been circumcised because his brother had been born in Hong Kong and had been done there as a matter of routine, and although he was then born two years later back in England, his parents thought he should be the same as his brother.

The friend who asked about Brad Pitt is now amazed that she's lived to be 33 and never realised this about Americans!

That difference is the very reason the sun now sets on the British Empire several times a day while the US is the last remaining superpower. Silly British foreskins.

She hasn't been with the Royal Princes, then—lucky girl. Their's have been done since Victoria's day by the Chief Mohel of Britain. Bet he doesn't use Manishevitz either.

Because of the TypoThatMakesApoTwitch™.

This was going to the Supreme Court no matter what the circuit court decided, but I never feel good about this SCOTUS on any issue.
