Dating advice for those would be studs: don’t use handcuffs

From time to time one of my really talented colleagues at MadMikesAmerica (MMA) writes a post on his dating problems. So, being somewhat older, most likely a lot older [and maybe a little wiser]  I am always looking to find him some good tips on dating. You know, little things that might help him get his stars lined up with persons of the female gender, or, conversely, things not to do that would get those stars crossed and bent all out of shape.

Now understand, I have only met Greg through his writings here on MMA so I hope he takes this in the lighthearted spirit for which it is intended, but in any event it is a good piece of advice for any of you young studs out there.

DON’T DO THIS: It is bad form to handcuff any female without her permission and even then she would probably prefer that they be fur lined. Another point to consider, few women consider handcuffs to be good taste in arm jewelery. Nah, they don’t buy that they are neat bracelets. But, most of all, really, it is illegal to handcuff a woman just to get a date. She will likely show her appreciation by having your butt locked up. SO DON’T DO THIS!!

Ga. man who handcuffed self to woman gets 4 years
RINGGOLD, Ga. (AP) — A north Georgia man who handcuffed himself to a female Taco Bell co-worker has been sentenced to serve four years in prison.

The Rome News-Tribune reports that 25-year-old Jason Earl Dean of Dalton handcuffed himself to the 18-year-old woman in August 2011 in an attempt to convince her to go on a date with him.

Lookout Mountain Assistant District Attorney Alan Norton says a Catoosa County Superior Court judge sentenced Dean to four years in prison followed by six years on probation. Dean had been charged with false imprisonment.

Norton says Dean is also not allowed to have any contact with the victim or her family.

    I’ll add to this by saying, if you do use the cuffs with the permission of the lady, make sure you have a safe word she can pronounce ;)

        Well yeah that is for non permission and those are three good words. I am talking with permission. Gotta make sure I…oops… the lady in question can pronounce the safeword.

            AYUP. Of course when you are popped by the San Francisco PD at a protest, when you ask them if there is a safe word, make sure you are out of the way when they laugh so hard they kinda spit on you. Yep, that really happened when I asked the arresting officer if he had a safe word I could use, to get the cuffs off before being taken to the grey bar hotel.

      See the part about willing partners Dale. Just remember, if they complain, you are up the proverbial creek without a boat never mind the paddle. :)

        You know, you people are always focusing on the negative. Look at it this way- at least he didn’t use anal beads on her.

          What? No paddle? No anal beads? What’s next? No whips and chains? :-)

            I’m with you on the paddle and whips since you cannot have your dungeon only having my little ponies in there now can you? The chains and anal beads one can do without, unless one is into that.

        Well now, they may very well have a nice paddle. Don’t judge me people, or I will go looking for new internet friends ;)

    If it is a dating event, handcuff would be okay because its one of the fun activity of the event. But in real life, handcuffing a any person is illegal even your intention is only to get know the person.
