LA Fitness Jeans and Tshirt - w4m (Shorewood) 26yr

2009-12-25T13:16:32-06:00

You were there Xmas eve. Tall with dark hair and a very nice build wearing jeans and a tshirt. It looked like you were working on triceps. I tried to keep my distance but still walked by to get a better look. I don't think you noticed me. I'm 5'9, blond and in shape (definitely a fitness nut). Maybe we could grab a drink sometime and do a workout of our own. I'm recently out of a relationship so I'm not looking for anything serious. Just some fun and you looked like you could handle me. If you're attached I'll just admire from afar and let my imagination do the work. I can be discreet too though if you want a little action on the side. Not looking for any attachments right now. Girls have needs too.

wonderful to see you - m4w (HG) 50yr

2009-12-25T10:13:03-06:00

I looked up and there you were looking as beautiful as I remember, I just wanted to grab you and hold you close but I wasn't sure how you felt. I guess I never have been sure, I wonder how things might have been different if you had said yes to going to that wedding with me 31 years ago when I asked instead I took someone else and never asked you out again. I hope your happy I think he's a good guy that you married and I'm happy with the way my life has gone but I have always thought of you and wish we could just hang out again and talk. I always look for you at dominicks.

2009-12-22T17:13:31-06:00

Although your questions may not be rhetorical, they are philosophical. To change the thinking of the masses is something that hasn't ever easily occurred. Even religion had terrible bouts when trying to offer different answers. Although I hesitate to compare it to religion, it is true that this is a soul searching affair. There are only two true choices. We can either stay single and keep our hearts confined, or venture out and try again. The older we get, supposedly we get wiser, but we also become more cautious. I do not believe that there is a "mend" as these are permanent scars we bear. Facing our fears is always advised, but seldom easy. To give up on experience would be to forget who you are and lose yourself in the long run. I often wonder if the majority of the human race doesn't deserve the many gifts we are presented. After being abused, and in turn abusing, we become cyclical. Guidance is needed, and I've often thought of writing a manual to modern morality. My opinions are far from perfect, or ideal in most cases. I fear being burned at the stake as a heretic, and cast out of society for putting my thoughts on paper.

Perhaps we have evolved beyond the ability to acquire "true love", it's faithfulness, unconditional standings, and fairytale depictions. Maybe we have to settle. Perhaps learning "the game" and simply winning is all about the self. Should we simply live by the phrase "if it feels good, do it"?

Of course they don't speak to the person in public.

Face it, that would destroy them.

To much of what they claim, isn't.

To often the term "project" comes into play.

I do wish you the best.

Is the dating game really "screw your neighbor"? (m4w) 29yr

2009-12-22T10:48:00-06:00

Have you ever played that card game? It's basically what it sounds like. The idea is simply to screw the person sitting next to you and thereby win.

I often feel that dating is very much like that.

You go through these relationship battles, beginning with that overwhelming first love. You remember, the one that was so intense you felt like you were going to die when it ended. Since then you've been putting your heart out on the line, but with what you imagine to be more caution. Yet, you still want something that feels like the first time, just without the bad ending. So, instead of jumping into the pool without testing the water, you sit on the edge and let your legs hang into the water. Of course, some conniving person comes along and says/does all the right things to get you to commit to once again letting go. Later, you find that they've been lying, or cheating, or even both. Perhaps you do the dumb thing and forgive them, and then spiral down the eternal hole, loosing more and more control. Maybe you find yourself in a rage, and cut the person off completely, but not without learning some tricks of your own. After enough times of playing the game, you're practically numb. No longer does the notion of what a couple would want, or what type of compliment another person may be to you, matter in the slightest. Now, you care only about one thing, yourself. If you can't find someone that fufills what you want, screw them. Even if you do find the perfect person, you find flaws in the equation, that lead you to justify doing the things that you once despised, a long long time ago. Now you're flirting, cheating, contemplating moving on completely, and so forth. You begin to wonder if being eternally single isn't the best idea all along. You start to weigh the pro's and con's of being on your own, even going so far as to make a chart like they teach you in school. Work, entertainment, any other distraction is more important than being in another relationship, that will eventually turn to turmoil. You have become cold to your own life, but you do a good job of being just cynical or sarcastic enough to seem like a joke around your friends. The ironic part is that you're attractive, you're thin, you're independent, and so many other things that people all say they want from a "significant other". Yet, you're on the road to never getting married, having children, and eventually dying alone. You think about how romantic you once were, and the little gestures with which you passionately showered your former loves. Your mind battles between the once "good", and the now "bad". It's all just a shade of grey. You realize that if someone is faithful, you're not. If you're faithful, they're not. Shaking your fist at the sky, you blame the world for what it has become, this morally destroyed shadow of what life was once like. You realize how we do such terrible things to each other, and how we impact each other's lives so radically without even knowing it.
