I like the forum because seeing how people interact with each other gives me more insight of their personalities and behaviors than messaging alone. I won’t learn much about a person from...”so, tell me about yourself”. exactly.. that's what motivated me to start posting on other forums besides just the poetry board... after all, isn't this why the forums are here, so we can talk to each other in a public setting and become better acquainted? I don't even reply to those retarded emails that say... "I read your profile, your pic is so nice, can we know each other more better"... NOT!!!

I started posting in these forums when I had a job doing nothing. I was a security guard at a film studio and there was no one in the building but me all night. It was a way to pass the time. Now, I'm out here driving a truck all over the USA and never get to see my close friends. So, it allows me to fool myself into believing I have a social life. Aaaawww, scoundrel, that's cool... you get to see the country... okay, so you get to see the country's highways..  but still... you have to admit it's nice to have your Mingle family here waiting for your company when you return... cuz we miss regular members when they're gone... you know that... BTW... it's good to see you here... 
Thanks, but I don't think I'd be missed if I stopped posting. I'm just a little too radical. c'mon radical... ooops... I mean, Scoundrel... lol... I think I fall into that category too... hehehehe... miss me, hell, at one time they were trying to run me off one site claiming I was just fronting... but I hung in there, and eventually they knew I'm for real... I know I'm a freak... the way I view life and my personal relationships sometimes disturbs people because they can't identify... but that's cool... cuz I don't understand their choices either... but I like to compare our differences and I even learn from theirs, incorporating some things I've picked up into my own experience... after all, I can't grow as a person if I don't keep my mind open... That's exactly how I feel about it. Sometimes I'll post things hoping someone will change my mind. I sometimes wonder if I'm too cynical about love and relationships. Scoundrel, once we've been burned, it's hard not to think it won't happen again because we're supposed to be intelligent enough to learn from our mistakes, right? That might work when it comes to book learning and erasing/correcting errors on a paper at school... but when it comes to our feelings and love, we're willing to take chances like we're in Vegas shooting craps.. I know that I'm cynical at my age because of the struggle life has been so far... but I'm not going to lose faith that things will get better. That the right partner for me will come my way and we'll work together from there to make the last legs of our journey here on earth as comfortable as it can be, without all the flash and bling... just simplicity... peace and harmony... I don't want much more than that... and whatever else I need materialistic wise, I'll work to get it myself... unless my new partner wants to help me get it because he wants to make me as happy as I make him... I don't think I've been burned by anyone but myself. I made my choices and I'm living with the results. Older and wiser. I've stopped looking for the kind of love I dreamed of, the kind my folks had. It's just not going to happen for me. I'll die an old bachelor in my tiny home. That is my plan and I'm comfortable with it. I'm looking forward to it. I've enjoyed my life for the most part and I like not having to measure up to the standards of anyone else. I don't want to be responsible for another person's feelings again. Just give me a comfortable chair, my laptop and access to the web and I'm as happy as a clam. Yep; I am the same way and I agree it's hard to measure up to the standards that others demand. I find it way too much work and way too stressful to even bother. I second that emotion..

I originally came here looking for a relationship, now I'm mainly here for the forums to kill time, and talk to friends on here, and there's even a few who no longer post on Mingle that I'm still friends with off the site. cool torgo... I wonder how many more of us have done, or are doing this same exact thing? The friends and long term connections makes it worthwhile tho... |

I've put myself out there on a few occasions. Once, even up and sold all I owned and relocated to be with someone over 1500 miles away....Shame on me! Does anyone out there realize how flippin' hard it is to start over again from scratch when you risk it all and lose? As a result, I'm pretty much soured on finding anyone worthwhile on here....and if there is someone on here, they can contact me..tired of being the one to always have to put myself on the line, because I'm a male. I'm not faultless, not by a long shot! But I'm taking what remains of my dignity and runnin' with it!
Anyway, I do enjoy checking out the boards....usually just for something to do. |

You should be flattered by those messages. The majority of mine have held no more thought than, "hi there". And those that have been thought out...let's just say, are not filled with thoughts I'd repeat in public...yeah...a few even in private for that matter. Messaging has proven educational though. I had no idea there were so many interesting acronyms. I've messaged with some great people too though. |

Anyway, I do enjoy checking out the boards....usually just for something to do. oh man, that really sux, majorly...  I'm sorry to hear about that f**ked up experience, bry... what you describe is exactly why I won't sell my place even if I decided to leave it behind to be with my next and hopefully last love of my life... cuz even tho we can be in love during the honeymoon phase, don't mean those warm and fuzzies will last forever... and being a woman makes it even harder to start over at my age, from scratch... nope.. got to use my noggin from now on to make sure I protect my own future...

I've gotten them too, the one or two word emails, on a regular daily basis, and have even been asked if I want to watch them do the nasty... there are very few I respond too now if they don't even bother to take the time to try and catch my attention by standing out from the crowd... |

Oh...My...Word! yeah... how crude is that... and guys who I've never even connected with want me to accept their friendship, but now I only accept friend requests from people I communicate with on the forums... |

hi lunchbox, nice to meet you... I've been accused of eccentricity myself... but hey, it takes a rainbow to remind us how important our choices really are...

I am here to wander through the glades, to connect with the outside world beyond work and home. Shy is what I am but not all that I am. I am here attempting too break down my own barriers and not be scared to speak, to become comfortable with those around me in hopes of making new connections. On a side note, I tend to ramble.

On a side note, I tend to ramble. hi fyreflye, cool nicknamw... welcome to Mingle, there's plenty of forums to ramble on... it's a lot easier to talk to strangers from the privacy of your home, just be careful which ones you choose to befriend, becuz there's players and scammers you need to avoid... other than that, have fun... get creative... you'll fit right in here...

I am here to increase my writing and communication.. |
