Hmmm interesting. I posted two threads simultaneously: one called
‘What is Beauty?’ the other this one,
‘The Love connection’.
One serious the other a childish joke. Guess which one got the most attention.
The first gets a little over 100 hits in three days and 3-4 responses [half of them mine], while this one gets over 700 hits and over 40 responses.
Tells you a lot doesn’t it?
Back on topic :bugeye:
But come now gentlemen do you expect the ladies to do all the work?
They are here mingling in our little
‘café of love’ {Let’s call it
‘Wanderer’s Wonder-Lust Café’}, take a gulp of some hard liquor and step up to the plate.
I can see it now:
PM’s flying through cyberspace, perhaps a few e-mails and ICQ’s, short sentences of question or agreement or praise or
“Can you believe that guy? He’s fucked up, he’s a loser. He's fallen to a new low.” that establish contact but maintain deniability if things don’t go well.
Little messages concerning this or that subject or this or that member, as an excuse, to start a long correspondence, to establish an alliance, a friendship, a foot in the door of possibility.
I can see it now, threatened little boys sending ‘pm’s’ to the one they crave:
“He’s a jerk, why do you even talk to him?” Meaning,
‘Stop answering him or paying attention to him and refocus on me. I’m worthy of you not him.’
“You’re better that that, don’t associate yourself with his kind” Meaning
‘I’m the one you should be associating with’.
“He’s a loser, you deserve better” Meaning ‘
You deserve me.’
“Can you believe him?” Meaning
‘What is your real opinion of him?’ or ‘
What do you see in him?’
Ah, I'm back in high-school. To be young again.
To all that have been disappointed by these internet vixens some advice:
Try and try and try again. Keep on chipping at that wall. Keep on hoping and waiting and dreaming. They’ll crack eventually.
Ahhhhhhhhhh, looooooove.
Oh well, I'm off wandering again.
