JEC matches disallow kibs now?

Last pd was male. I have only ever played with one partner at a time. Once you play 2x a week and bid and discuss system for another 2 hours, there is not time left for a second partnership.

I think this topic is a no brainer. Both sexes are prone to error. Both genders are imperfect. To thine own self be true :P

The assumption that a mixed gender partnership must have a "dominator" is flawed.

But the notion that it might have a "dominatrix" is ... intriguing.

Not sure. There's a screen in the way.

Is there a bet riding on the outcome of this poll or some sort of psych experiment? or is the end goal to put someone off?

Why do you assume that someone answering this survey will always think of themselves (or perhaps always think of their partner) first?

A TD in the UK said that anyone wearing a skirt would qualify as female (for the purpose of mixed pairs)

I was sorely tempted to test this hypothesis. ..

That could make for an interesting test case in Scotland.

One of my most interesting pdship was J/M (Jewish/Muslim) Rabbi Leonard Helman/Timuçin Erkoç.

This is the same Rabbi who was mentioned by Robert Levin in BW "in the well" who said he doesn't remember getting a good board from.

Also the subject of the current book "The Rabbi's Rules", which has gotten lots of good reviews. I have it on my bookshelf, but haven't started reading it yet.

Sure, but there must be a reason for wanting to know. The data are not exactly riveting.
