mylifewithu: I know I used to play games against a long term boyfriend , If i want to win the game. And he was about to shoot 8 ball in I would stand near the opening he was shooting for which was crotch high to me. And then shortly before he shot I would move and stand out of the way, he would miss his shot. And he said no matter what he did He couldn't focus on the shot his eyes kept checking me out even if I was out of the way by then. I cheated


rolling on the floor laughing I've done that! thumbs up

Antjo39: You might talk for yourself but never for others. I can come up with many simple examples I have seen in this website and others about how people portray themselves and it is not hard to see that many people do marketing. It is interesting though to see that so I play with that a little bit.

I think when I take mankind features as part of an interesting game nurtured by mother nature, anger and moral musts about that dissapear and I just contemplate and think of myself as part of that thing.


I'm sorry, I don't remember that I was addressing you with that. Usually when people accuse others of something, it is something that they're doing themselves in my experience. However, if the shoe fits...

Yes, you are right and certainly it can be deduced from my "you can only talk for yourself"
I am not worried about my own condition or level of phonyness. In fact, that is a subject that can only be interesting to me. My point goes beyond the personla level and gets concentrated at that entity that is "goodness of individuals" but in actual fact it is just personal marketing.
Maybe a good experiment would be good: Just create a thread where people are encouraged to talk about the horrible things they have inside or things that have contributed to their own failure with partners. A bad hard time would be given to many of the good ones here...why? because they are in actual fact good? maybe...however there are other options: or they think they are so good that they have not even noticed their bad side (horrible lack of criticism and self-delusion) or they simply know that to talk about something beyond the acceptable goodness would risk their being seen as attractive here or in other web-sites....wine

On the subject of the Thread I do agree that "most" threads tend to not stay on the subject. Many of the same people night after night change the topics. I just agree with myself not to participate in those threads. I have no problem with them doing it, but sometimes it would have been nice to discuss whatever the subject was! JMO and I not hiding behind anything. I am who I am---famous quote from Popeye!

druidess6308: Many of us in the forums portray ourselves as we really are, I think. We chat and make friends, and get to know each other really well. We confess our weaknesses, celebrate our strengths, share our sorrows, and laugh together here.

So sorry if you're making up for some deficiencies in personality by being somebody else, but most here are, to the best of my knowledge, their true selves. I know I am.

here's some tuth, my consistent mistakes with ALL
my former patners has been my inability to see my failings.
its somtimes to much to surround a person with affection and concideration at the sacrifice or oneself, it leaves the other feeling clostofobic within the relationship and choking on well meaning. I find it hard to tear myself away from doing the good guy thing and concentrate on what is needed to be done to keep the balance IE: letting her do things for me, paying for her own travel,clothes,food, and letting her show me affection without over doing the appreciation. a simple rose can say I love you just as much as doing everything and anything.

if you squeeze a handfull of sand too hard the inevitable is you end up with an empty hand !

Antjo39: A philosophical theme?
Maybe for a decadent Internet-killing-time like me it is.
It can be even possible to describe the way a thread starts here: a question, a remark, a provocation.... it goes well as for the next two or three threads but then it starts growing branches badly in many directions.

I mean, I am not sure if it is lack of capacity of everybody to be focused on the subject discussed or it is just that the nature of this website or the bloody entire web unable any good discussion to go on for the benefit of everyone. It is though damned-Jesus frustrating.. Is it that nothing can be quite brain exciting in the Internet?

I think then to conclude (and not to be out focus too) the nature of that infernal new technological toy is the one controlling these threads and their lamentable trajectory until they die down....
IN the end it is not only the threads here but any other stupid thing one does in the web just to forget our alonness and kill our time in this planet...


I think it is because people treat a forum like a chat room. You see, when you chat with someone you can go off in many different directions. Or maybe it's because we are more ADD then we think. Whatever the reason, some of the banter is down right funny. Last night I was laughing so hard, I almost peed my pants. So sit back and relax, you can always bring it back to the main idea. What were we talking about?

I agree with you speacially about the ADD thing (I must say that mine is ADHD).
Yes the banter must be very important here: we are like those dogs that whenever they find a female dog and therefore they want to bonk they turn playful and all that. The mechanisms in nature are for all species.

Enjoy the laugh and take some Ritalin. No bad at least to be focused with the one we love sometimes.

Lets Face it. Most people here are looking for love, but have no clue what love may feel like.
The silly games people play on dating sites are the same games they play in every day life with the only difference that here they can show any profiles they want.
Some fall in love until they meet, some after they meet.
The good news is, there is a chance for every one,
to grow up.
