I've read about this. There seems to be two camps of men. Those who love it and those who associate it with 'aggressive' behaviour. I think it's great personally, and it must be nerve wracking to ask someone out on a date, so letting women have a share in that role is a move closer to equality.

28c or 82f to you guys. Probably hotter than the US as we tend not to have AC. A hosepipe ban in northern Ireland and it looks like we might get one in the NW England. Good to see everyone in their summer cloths

@LadyAlyxandrea There might be a few places: Iceland, the Scandinavian countries, places in Russia and some in the southern hemisphere. ?

Hollowbound comments on Jul 3, 2018:

Visited my family in Southern Central Tennessee last week, and it was craziness. 90 to degree weather, alongside several tornadoes. I was driving through a hellacious storm, and about got taken off the road by people that panic through bad weather. This weather needs to stay one way or the other. ...

AstralSmoke replies on Jul 3, 2018:

Sounds pretty exciting! I was driving a VW beetle in northeast Ohio one winter. The road crossed through a golf course, so when I hit the open course the wind literally threw me into a snow drift. Good ol' days!

For us the weather is a sort of a necessary obsession. In middle AZ we are waiting for the monsoon rains. The government designated official start date is June 15th but we've only had one day of rain in the last couple of months. NOAA says 20% rain chance this Fri then 40% Sat and Sun. We have...

I have not met anyone HERE that has even mentioned the weather. Since it is ALWAYS part of your everyday existence, it is difficult to ignore it.

@jlynn37 Sometimes it does, other times it doesn't. I have 'missed my chance' before. Made me feel pretty stupid.

AstralSmoke replies on Jul 3, 2018:

@Stacey48 That's hardly fair. You don't get much rain or keep what you get! We have a good bit of clay here as well with normally 6" of topsoil. If the clay has time to absorb the rain, that's optimum. Flash floods ... no way.
