Haha, nice work Cirrus.

What makes her unattractive is that she is way too young to have three kids. And married at 20, yeesh. But that's all a Utah thing.

That's the way life was US wide 70 or so years ago. Back then, most couples have two or three children by age 20 to 25, and, I believe much of "why" had to do with younger women have both healthier babies and a lower chance of dying or permanent injury during delivery.

I am not saying this "better" or "worse" than our current practices "outside" Utah: that would be an invitation to waves of self-righteous indignation.

My entire 20s I was out dancing or clubbing in SLC until 3am. So, I don't even know what you're talking about. Maybe you're the one who is lame.

I think most women would say current practices are better... because the old ones sort of were dependent on a certain degree of subordination.

Of course, I'd prefer not to have to still be dating in my 30s...

Dude, relax. Chill out and realize that you don't have to take everything so serious and personal.

Obviously SLC doesn't literally shut down at 10. I'm going along with the joke and having fun.

You need to take the advice from the Denver people and laugh, and just have a good time with everything.

There was nothing jokey about your comment and you're the one who couldn't chill out when ToysNoiz asked a valid question.

Hopefully "Air Center", once built, will help improve SLC's nightlife.

To me it sounds like SLC has some of the best night life in the western US. Clubbin' till 3AM? That's the shit right there.

you need to go to some of the themed nights they have here. they are so much fun, or the Jazz Festival at the Bourbon House. It is pretty chill. I like it. I really like the places that you can go to that are actually really close to trax.

50 great bars in Salt Lake City
Look beyond the Zion Curtain for local bars that offer boozy good times.
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/lifesty...b-www.html.csp

We even had 7 gay bars at one time, but I think it's down to 3 now... oh, just remembered a coupe more... 5 now.

There are 130 bars listed here:

Lets see...Trapp, Jam, Metro, Triangles, Sound, Paper Moon, and the Always awesome....Karamba on sunday nights!!! 7. And if I can get enough of my friends together...we can make any bar/ club a gay bar for that night. hahaha My partner is a home body, and I have school so things might have changed...What is MAXX?....i know it was the old Trapp Door, behind the Trapp. I always see it, and I know they had Gay Latino nights there too for a little bit.

Oh yeah, if 5% of either Denver's or SLC's better half looked like that both cities would have 10,000,000 people metro.
My vote for best looking female athlete would have to be Alex Morgan.
