I have had two. One was 90 miles the other 200 miles. They both failed because of distance. This was before cell phones and you could run up a 300 dollar phone bill very fast. The fact you can talk all of the time in this day and age would help somewhat, but I am not sure if it would be enough.

Sticks48 comments on Jan 14, 2020:

You can't fix what you perceive as a social problem just because you don't like it. Male sexuality is what it is, what it always has been, and most likely will be until we have some major change in evolution. A three way is a fantasy most men have. That is fact. Just stay away from those men. We all have certain things we look for in people we spend time with or get involved with. When someone doesn't fit the criteria we shy away. Not everyone is going to look at your sexuality the same way you do, and you realistically can't expect they would. Quit worrying about what other people think and hang with folks who think more like you do. It is that simple.

The history of female leaders in history ain't that great either. There just haven't been near as many.
