More Important for some?
For me finding a friend or someone that could be more than just a friend on line is not very important.I think in every city, town or village there are more than enough suitable friends/mates/partners but for some or other reason some of us seem to yearn for that exotic/unknown friend/mate or partner.
Don't you go out or meet different people at work,shop,club or even the movies? South Africans are known to be friendly, not to be grumpy in public with a kind word or good advice to anyone that needs it.
Like who cares if prince Charles is in line at the soda store, he is just a guy like all of us.
So why is it that CS has thousands of members, maybe because of the games?
Please correct me if I'm wrong but apart from the scammers, could it be that most people are searching to find the ultimate?
What is the 'ultimate' that you are searching for, wealth?Not me, cos here in my country are many beautiful women also wanting a friend. Of course I have my special friends already.
Help me to understand

here.. I can talk with many peoples without seeing the background as long as they are respect, nice, polite and friendly.
For milllenia people have travelled around the world, just to see what was on the other side.
St. Brendan sailed from Ireland to what is now the US in 501AD. There have been traders and adventurers travelling east to west, north to south, often out of natural human curiosity.
CS makes that easy.
You can chat to someone in Victoria, Oz, Durban, SA, Alberta, Canada , San Pedro, Belize and Malaga, Spain and find out more about their lives and cultures without ever leaving your livingroom.
and bcos of CS also I meet wonderful person like you..
Not to mention the passion and joys I share with my writings and the learning I get everyday.
Reading and sharing international feedback, opinions and comments are for me the best reward.
And you probably know that by now Luke..
Thanks for such a very good question..
in supermarket? I dont talk with stranger...
but here ? putting comment just like talking with someone, without have to know each other...
The only thing is that it is very time consuming for me. There was a time when my brother and I can play for hours and I can't at this time as I am in love with my man and so occupied by him..
I am now begging to just give me four hours a day, which is my time for my readings anyways..
I think if you cannot get around in real life, you won't get around here. CS only give you more options. But then we are not all here to meet somebody.
So you are actually saying that this site is not as bad,boring and dull as some would try and make it out to be... mmmm I'm inclined to agree.
I think we might just fall into the same category. But lets face it, the drama adds to the fascination sometimes, yes?
But I have, if I want even now, so many lined up begging me to be their wife, including like I said but not limited to my ex of 28 years. So it is not like I am here because I would want to find anyone.
No but some of my friends had. And they are all happily married still. One from Ireland, married to one here in Ohio. One from New Zealand and married from Australia. One for India now lives in New Zealand. And more.
I think this place allows us to travel with our minds and when the actual meeting comes up, at least in my case, love is confirmed to be so absolutely heavenly. I can be married now, if I want, but I will take my time Luke. After all, I feel like heaven already and I couldn't have ever imagined this thing happening at my age.
Now the other perks like I said, is the writings but for the most part, the friendship I have is beyond any monetary value to be equated.
Thanks again Luke.
I guess you summed it up.
For others it worked out well being online when they met in real life later on.
I still cannot see much reason if people are still here though they found someone or are not even looking, but I am getting more tolerant about that.
I played three exciting games with a CS lady...if you are done with commenting..switch over to the war front..
It is like a music to my ear.
You see positive thinking like this is so contagious and if we all practice this conduct, what a life there is in this world.
Now yes, if it were me, like I said, I was ready to spend the rest of my life, ALONE, very happy and very capable of taking care of myself, just by the writings, but look at that, I am in love..Now isn't that a million dollar reasons why I am here?
I am going there and guide me in KC.
Luke also plays chess, he said.. I am rusty KC so don't laugh at me if I am check mated in three or five moves okay? Been 14 years since I last check mated someone.
I too found British's blog facinating. Kudus to her
don't be too sure about my tolerance about you...
I must agree with you that there are some really lovely people out there....and I am in the process of making a serious career change which would enable me to spend more time away from my PC and more time intermingling and communicating with people in RL .....
Then I will really know how intolerant you are, ehhh?
Take care my friend.
@KC, It is Sunday here and I am not ready for the game..
Thanks KC
Thanks again Luke for such a very interesting and personal blog..
Oh! chess I was talking about...
Come here in my country Lady Di and I am sure there are some that just prefer our age. My ex of 28 years was 14 years younger, my current right now, whom I love so much is 14 years younger than me again. And let me tell you, my ex, had to beg me three years before I said yes, and I am planning on the same track with my current..although I vowed, never to be married again. I just might.
So I know age is not the issue Lady Di. And you are so beautiful..
