blocking people out of our lives

Would it not be great and wonderful if we can block people out of our lives,
out of our memories our hearts and minds with a flip of a switch or push
of a button? For many when considering the time and investment in
building relationships at any level most in my opinion are shortlived
or never got off the ground. Others, before the internet was invented
and social sites etc which is designed to bring people together who
would not ordinarily meet in any other circumstance but online. They
were only images in a magazine and most people had to hook up
locally and left with whatever was available.

The good ol days when you had to actually meet in person or call on a rotary phone. Thanks
to the internet and reaching people from everywhere on earth we
have successfully alienated each other by a flip of a switch.
Instead of clearing the air of misunderstandings we just get pissed
off and block people out of our lives thus reducing our chances
of reconciliation.
Secondly, we are offered the opportunity to set up
a criteria of quality we hope to find in people. Instead of the old days
just by talking to someone for a few hours at a bar we learn that the person
of interest is an a**hole and maybe in a few minutes we learn that
while we are organizing an escape plan to the restroom and out the door.

Today we can do it in a few emails or a few chat sessions and eliminate
people in seconds if need be with a switch. The nice thing we dont have
to hear is the girl complaining about what a useless wanker the guy was
and the girl doesnt have to hear the wanker complain what a b*tch she is. Ah, but yet when
we are done stewing over what was said between two people we look at the profiles
and read what they say of themselves finding their profile is BS and their personality
does not match what they say of themselves. Like an employer who reads resumes
all day they see many but only the few or one gets the job. Only a few or the one gets the girl

With the high emotional cost in finding a friend these days its rather sad to see
that we take people with a grain of salt and believe less of what they say and ultimately
sabotage ourselves to fail. Actions speak louder. Yet considering the investment we place here
we cannot expect a whole lot on the ROI.

Setting our expectations low enough is the best policy. Nobody will give a crap about this blog
as they will say to me if I dont like the results I am getting then play somewhere else and stop
judging how things are run here or go with the flow. I know nobody is keeping me here, there is no ball and chain holding me here. Most would rather see me just disappear and stop annoying them with my ideas. Many may ask a certain lady in Spain why she sometimes stands up for me or makes subtle excuses to say I mean well but I can be a bit annoying. Well everyone can block me but can they block the truth or the foolishness? This is not even a dating site anymore its more of a internet diner like Arnolds of Happy Days. Only many dont have the charisma and coolness of the Fonz. Most are the Ralphie's and the Potzie's and a few Ritchie Cunninghams who dont have the confidence to tell a girl what they feel. If they do the women here think the guy is a flake.
Please correct me and show me differently what I am doing wrong in my approach. God I feel right now like such a heel for some reason writing this. However, bring on the onslaught for any comments will be taken in consideration.

Wowwwow Writing such a lengthy blog in the middle of the night must feel good to be able to relieve what's on your mind?

Unfortunately it's too early for me to read it all and reply but Swamie said it all..more or less. He took the words out of my mouth.thumbs up


I'll comment further when I'm properly awake.yawn
Is it really all that different to real life?

Whether here or in real life, we know after a short conversation whether we want to continue into a larger conversation.

In both, if the longer conversation is interesting or exciting to both, then you arrange to meet up in a more conducive atmosphere to romance.

And if the initial conversation showed there was no potential for more, then you just politely move on.
Redex,
You have the old school. You ar not a computer freeklaugh
Your life is outdoor ... others live their free time on dating sites ... unfortunately.
Swami i get you but it is not unfortunate as you put it, it just is, the world changes and so must we, but of course the old school stays grin as a basis.

I dot in and out of many worlds wink banana
Good Morning Redex. wave

Oh... but if you only new of what´s going on behind the scenes...doh

Maybe I should join you in hugging as many trees as I could get hold of. wink

Unfortunately, palm trees are not the kind to hug. sigh
good morning Daniela my trees smitten are just a way of saying i love nature, its a handel thats all.

No i do not know what is going on behind the scenes but if its so important that is where it should stay.

I know you and swami say you just want to help people ---bring out hidden conflicts get to know the inner them.

I have always said and maintain when you are just writing you never know what you dealing with properly, you cannot read the person only their writing.

Bringing people out so to speak, encouraging them to talk about inner conflicts on here when you are satisfied they are starting to do that, the poor person is left high and dry looking at a screen, who then helps them back from inner conflicts??
Yes i myself have that thought sometimes, then I same to myself I worder. if God is thinking the same way about me ? and then I realize that I am not living in a perfect world where everything is perfect
It´s all a matter of perception and people´s individual own interpretation. conversing
Was about to post a comment regarding your comment on the "hermit" blog but... the OP has disallowed comments?? roll eyes

Anyway, just wanted to say it was well written and those were exactly my thoughts on that subject. thumbs up


To Redex...when I said "you don´t know what´s going on behind the scenes".... it was meant as: you can´t judge something, or someone by the written words, here on a dating site, when you don´t know what´s being said, what correspondence has been exchanged between people - in real life!

Again, it´s all a matter of perception and interpretation.

As for the "tree hugging", it was meant with good intention!


Sorry C. for the hijack. wink

Wishing you all a nice Sunday! dancing
Now days is very easy let a person free and go your own. Only you say you want!
I hAd already explained about not knowing just by written word Daniela.

Aso its all little game playing is it, why do you not e-mail privately??? or disallow comments??/.
or Daniela is this yet more research scold roll eyes wave wave
I did it already. for the last 12 years I have no contact with

my siblings.
sorry ake daniela i meant between you and ake not meeeewow wow wow
How sad! sigh

Regarding the OP and myself...we are not washing any laundry! We're having a normal conversation about a general topic.

There again Dear Redex...wrong interpretation. Because you didnt understand? Or because you DO NOT want to understand??? uh oh

Don't bother replying to this as I won't either.
Nice Sunday! bouquet
daniela i have come to the conclusions your nutty as a fruit cake rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

I truly have not got a clue what you are refering tolaugh laugh wave wave wave
You sound a bit like our friendly bluelaugh laugh

Jealouse of what dunno

It is a fact that Daniela and i are on totally different waves lengths and i think becuase blogs have been slow we have an infeltraitor to liven things up.

If not your all nutty as reading blog through i still do not have a clue.

As long as your not hurting anyone mentaly get on with whatever rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Very good read. Thank you.

It is said, the biggest liars to us....is ourselves.


Would be interesting if we all could be honest.

Hi Johnny.. wave That's true! grin
Hello Daniela.wave grin
"I wrote many poems and ideas concerning how people here paint a picture of what they think they are. I think sometimes its not the real truth. It is more like the picture they would like to become."

Very clever. And very deep. I agree. So humans have much in common. They want to be else than they are. Each one of us fight to be else. So much waste of energy.

When you want to reach the point B, the arrival point, you need to indentify the way/ the road, the path to B. But for that you need to identify the point A, the point you are in present. Because a path is allways between two points. The departure point. And the arrival point.

One will never become ... until one know from where he start ... the point called .... Who am I?
To identify this point one must be very sincer to himslef... and this hurts.
So people do not become ..... never end the road because of fear from pain... only very few of them reach the end...
When some person say ... I believe ... he already stopped.... because "to believe" is not the same with "to know"
Hi Swami... very interesting point you´ve made here. wow

The "Who am I" is also a very good question indeed... How many people actually know the answer?

Aren´t we all spiritual beings having a physical experience here on Earth?

Aren´t we all "multidimensional" beings?
"Aren´t we all spiritual beings having a physical experience here on Earth?
Aren´t we all "multidimensional" beings?"
I triy to find out the answer letting "believe" away ..... and answering with I know.
But sincerly ... I have no answer to this questions. I have no personal experience which allows me to answer this questions. As a scientist .... to asume or to believe is not my style.

But I agree with the afirmation. " I am here now."

I did it already. for the last 12 years I have no contact with my siblings.


@Duromomjon, I've got you beat by a few years.I was the youngest of 5 of my parents children and had no choice but cut three of my older siblings out of my life cause it was done for my own sanity and I wasn't going to subject myself to all their drama anymore.

Family was always important to me but sometimes one has to do what one must do.
