@@sammnew True 🙂 Nothing wrong with that - men find lesbians attractive after all! The attraction is that the man is comfortable with his so-called ‘feminine’ side (which really just means he’s comfortable in who he is and his own masculinity).

@Sappho I appreciate that. I’m not a man, by the way. For some reason people always think I am despite my username having HER in it! I understand that you find male attention uncomfortable - that’s not really what I was saying though. Men do find lesbians attractive and women do often find gay men attractive. Unfortunately it’s a fact of life. Realistically, no one can change what others find attractive and there’s nothing really wrong with people finding gay men or women attractive as long as they’re not pushing those men or women to sleep with them or something. That’s a whole other issue. My main point (and closing statement) was that straight women would be lucky to find a camp straight guy like Rhys.

Mate, I still remember the big freeze of '92 it's a real thing. The sheep were sticking to the ground in Canterbury NZ from ice. it was bloody heartbreaking, most of the ewes died tombed in ice/frost. Even in the afternoon we had to shear the wool and ice off the sheep go get them standing up. Because there's few barns in NZ, the poor buggers had to survive with a bald patch with would quickly become frostbitten. Rhys, you're a bloody hero for helping out, the army was called in because of the 1,000,000 + sheep in danger.

I remember the instance they are talking about, and a few others too, but 99% of the time there isn't a problem for the stock. And the farmers are usually pretty protective of their stock, because they represent the farms entire profit. Kiwi farmers are actually a pretty heartless bunch, but then you have to be, the animals are bred for profit, and ultimately are slaughtered when their time comes for it. Working on a farm isn't for the soft of heart.
