why is it that we run and hide
from what we really feel inside?
what we need to do
is be honest and true!

Welcome back, Woody.

People have power here by being consistently themselves. The logical result is that the atmosphere is determined by those who provide the most input, and are consistently active.

How else could it be?

Thanks :)

thanks, you scoundrel you!!!

By the way....woody you are a nice looking man.

Ohhhhhhh now that is a loaded question.

Why do we do a lot of things that we do who knows could it be from some are scared of rejection. So at times they must portray to be someone they are not?

Are we scared of what the results would be if we let our feelings out to another?

So many questions and not enough answers for sure.

To many times some have let there feelings show to have them shot down. Sad but true then it makes the think twice before doing it again.

One finally gets burned so many times they feel what is the need. Then when the genuine one does come along they miss the chance due to the past.

At times it is a never ending circle in life should we or should we not.

As they say at times we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.

I have no idea what you're talking about! "Dull"...? "Drab"...?

One thing I have noticed (which is quite ironic in my non-humble opinion) is that sites that are for the over-18 crowd ONLY end up being very boring because you can't cuss.

On a site that's for 13 and up--lots of cussing. On a site that's for 18 and older: No cussing allowed.

That seems strange to me, but not "dull", since it's not endemic to the site, but to the internet in general.

Anyway, who would want for you to explain or understand the reason for a site being "dull" or "drab"..? (Not me!)



Are you that guy who IMed me this morning and accused me of being a hypocrite because I have a boyfriend, and yet still belong to an internet social site..? COME ON NOW!! CONFESS!

(If it was you, no big deal. I do stuff like that myself every so often!)



It's been my experience that the words "true" and "genuine" are very much abused--usually by those in sales. But what are ya gonna do...? I mean, you know: The Apocalypse, right?

I hope this was helpful! and good luck to you in your search! yours in Chaos, Scarlett

awwe, shucks!!!

What I find rather intriguing and most *humorous* is often times *we* post about the exact same thing that occurs in REAL life and solicit advice/opinions/feedback.

Certainly, the internet has provided a different venue for scammers to be scammers, yet these scammers were and are alive and kicking in real life, long before we all paid a "fee" to experience them here, right?

Don't we read, post, share and engage about "real life" experiences where we perceive we were burned, wronged on some level left whimpering in the corner, licking our wounds from hurt feelings?

I've been "done wrong" on the internet, like most here have. I've also had the same experiences, if not worse, occur in real life.

I've simply learned over time how to armour myself against it or *them*, if you will. While I do everything I possibly can to guard myself against the wrong-doers, I will not allow them to control my life to point of distrusting EVERYONE on the internet.

I simply pick and choose accordingly and carefully who I think should be "file 13'd".

nope! it was not me who IM'd you. if you want to be on this site, or any site for that matter, who is to say you do not belong there? I would expect nothing less for myself.

Just the natural ebb and flow ... it will shift again ... it always does ...

Very good point!

Very well said , for we can not let those type bring us down to there level and mistrust everyone. All we can do is be who we are and honest with ourselves. At least in the end we know where we stand.
