Which was my point. It is amazing how quick people are on-line...and I speak from experience...that want to chat via text...by voice...but even after several weeks of communication and the things the other person says... mention Skype or Google Video Chat...or some such...and Wow. Guess what?
Anyone who has not watched the show "Catfish" on MTV...really should catch it. I cannot believe that people have on-line relationships for 1 or 2 years and never talk live over video chat. Text and Voice Only behind a bunch of still pictures and these people are professing love and wanting to be married and on and on... Do people just lose their tiny little minds when they turn on a computer?
Okay...let me be clear about this. I am talking about...talking with someone...not running off and getting married fer Christ's sake. As far as distance...I guess because spent a great deal of my life traveling around this planet...I have a different idea about distance. That said... Why is it so hard to simply accept that when I say.."communication"... "talk"...etc...that it is assumed I mean, "Hey! Let me hop on the next plane and we will live happily ever after." Sheesh!
Ahhh, and this is the crux. Mankind (and Womankind)...have become too used to the fast and easy...from fast food...to fast shopping in Malls bursting with "just that thing you realized you need when you saw it"...to easy getting any product on-line...to disposable relationships. I am, I suppose...one of that dying breed of Gentlemen/Warriors/Men...who do not see distance as a factor in learning about someone important. What is important is not a matter of distance...it is about the person, who they are and if there is something connecting these two. When two people really have that special connection...they find a way. That is part of what Life is about. Instead, people go for that fast and easy way to make quick connections...the local bar/dance club/pub/sporting event/etc. It is about the flash and glitz of a moment. The way they dress...the "face" they wear while in public. Even if the meaningful things are not at the surface...people overlook that...then wonder why it keeps failing. Why they wake up next to that person and feel empty in the heart...feel like something is missing. Well, it is missing. I can put it no better than that...and I hope my poor prose communicated something...
That would be because they don't have a clue about women...think they can just take off for the track or parlor or pub and the "little woman" will be happy alone all day and most of the night...cleaning, cooking...etc...so the house in nice and comfortable when they come home well into their cups. What I don't understand...is why Irish Ladies...look no further than what is at hand...and why are they settling for that? Now...while written tongue-firmly-in-cheek...there is some serious in there... :})
Serena, I have seen a side of the world that I pray you never do. I have known the worst things people do...and the best. I always give Life a chance, because I have seen how quickly it can be taken...and how much it can give. From just one of those places I was... 58,272 souls can only speak from a Wall in D.C. I chose to remember that, yes. But those things do not define who I am. I do.
Ah yes...it certainly does. However, I always keep in mind that things are never set in stone, unless we make them so... And the first steps towards any relationship...at any level...is communicating.
Well...simple conversation and communication was what I was interested in. Speaking with someone in another country is interesting. I have friends in Russia, the Netherlands, England...etc. So... one person being that way doesn't speak to anything but the kind of person they are.
Just browsing by again...same old same old. Not a knock. I think there is something to be said for certain things being "safe". I am careful what I post here now. I tried conversation with one lady in Ireland..and was soundly, rather nastily put down. Instead of some conversation... I got basically "No chance we'd ever meet...yada yada...so don't bother me." Okay...so I just read...I ain't sticking my prose neck out there again...
So...as I expected...most of the responses were from females. Which is why I worded the post the way I did. Seriously? Spend a few hundred dollars for email privileges? I may have Post Trauma Seizure Disorder in both hemispheres...but I ain't that stupid. I was simply blown away by all of the soooo professional sites, slick, well-thought out... And I am quite capable and taking my money and havin' mah own party...
Alright... take the time to seriously check this site out...then weigh in on what you think. I cannot quite make up my mind, except that Ah have pretty much given up on American women. Too damn much everything but feminine.

A good healthy dose of reality...
