El Brujo Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Kudos to the OP, I'd like to shake his hand. He's stopped dreaming and started DOING. Sounds like some of you suddenly have a case of green eyes..? Propaganda by the deed, folks... propaganda by the deed.
Author kaylan Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Oh shoot. I really liked having you on here Kaylan. A lot of times I would be reading a thread thinking "gotta say xyz" then I would see you posted it and often more articulately than I would have. Then I would sit back and think, "whew, glad someone said it and that it was Kaylan. He carries more credibility than a lot of posters around here." And true about the negativity in the dating section. It's like wanting to say to a lot of these guys: "No, it really isn't your wallet/height/car/looks, it's the fact that you think it's all about your wallet/height/car/looks and that means you aren't even trusting that there would be a quality girl out there that would care about you as a human being, so you really aren't looking for her actively or sensibly, and somehow that's her fault." In response to the bold; I will still post, but not as often as in the past because of my time constraints.I liked having you around to, Kaylan. Your views are very balanced and you are one of the many people on this site that I think will do well in life:) Good luck with your dating life and good luck with everything else! Stop with the past tense. Im not leaving for good lol. I guess when I said unplug, I just meant that Ill be posting not as often. But my presence will still be felt...just like inthe Matrix. They unplugged from it, and still went back into it with a new and real idea of how it worked. Just like LS...I realized it wasnt reality...and now I can come and go from it knowing what is and isnt the truth. And sometimes I come with the purpose of letting others knowing this website doesnt exactly represent the real world. Edited December 25, 2012 by kaylan 1

Your views are very balanced and you are one of the many people on this site that I think will do well in life:) Good luck with your dating life and good luck with everything else! Yeah. It was pretty good when Kaylan was around posting. I wonder if he still lurks around here, like an old ghost. 1
RachR Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I don't know you, but I can't see this lasting too long...simply because when you describe this "perfect girl," all you list is how great she is in service of you, not about how smart she is, how funny she is... If you aren't planning on it going anywhere, well never mind, you're all set then.
Pyro Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Kaylan I think that the question on everyone's mind is has she stayed the night with you yet and if so do you sleep in the same bed or separate ones?
xpaperxcutx Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I can't quite say I missed you. Your posts tends to stir the pot Everybody tend to make LS a home then when they realize it's time to go out into the real world and live, the occasional visits are still warranted. You know you are remembered here, but seriously, enjoy life too. 1
veggirl Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Hey now, some of us are able to enjoy LS and also a real life outside with the 3D people lol. 2
carhill Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 LS is a matrix of one potential dynamic of real life. One can live in the matrix, outside of the matrix or interface with it, 'plugging in' and 'disconnecting' as desired. The matrix doesn't rule one unless such rule is accepted. 'Real life' is a matrix all to itself, as I'm observing here sitting by Gate 83 at SFO as I type this. Interesting world. 5

If you aren't planning on it going anywhere, well never mind, you're all set then. Excuse me for enjoying for the first time, a woman whos really trying to treat me well and take care of me. I havent had girls in the past put in the effort this girl does. And if I thought she was dumb and not funny, I wouldnt even be dating her casually. Kaylan I think that the question on everyone's mind is has she stayed the night with you yet and if so do you sleep in the same bed or separate ones? You have great memory to remember the bed thread I made a while ago. Ive stayed over her place a several times, and we share her bed. Its an awesome memory foam bed. My back loves that bed. And its a large bed with enough room for me to sprawl out in too. 2

You know you are remembered here, but seriously, enjoy life too. I agree with this wholeheartedly, about your posts that is. I hope it works out for you, and you found a great one. Being from the US, i have to ask ... what's the girl's cultural, social and family background ?
Ross MwcFan Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) I've been pulling away from this site for sometime now, I wouldn't mind leaving all together, but somehow I can't help but come back and read posts and post myself. One of the reasons why I've been pulling back and why I want to leave, is because like you said, so many people on here have such bizarre beliefs and weird view points, these beliefs and view points don't reflect the real world at all. I've said to myself many times 'I swear a lot of people on here are from some alternate dimension'. Edited December 25, 2012 by Ross MwcFan 5

You make a big drama queen post about leaving and you're still here. Reread the OP maybe?. I never said I was leaving forever. I merely said why I am posting less, and also trying to give useful advice to those who take this place to seriously. Edited December 25, 2012 by kaylan 1

I never said I was leaving forever. I merely said why I am posting less, and also trying to give useful advice to those who take this place to seriously. I have been feeling the same way about this forum. Too much mental masturbation and hate. I did miss your posts and were wondering where you are. Glad you are doing great and enjoying the real life.
KungFuJoe Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I like LS. Admittedly, I'm sort of addicted to this site, especially the sex subforum, which I wish had as much action as the dating forum. I compare loveshack to watching reality shows. I'm in it for the drama and a "sense" of reality, even though you know that it's not REALLY reality except in extreme circumstances. As long as know how LS relates to the real world (in other, words, not at all) then I think it's "ok" to spend time here. 3
stillafool Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Kaylan I knew it wouldn't be long before you were 'off the block'. Best of luck to you and your new girl. 1
Jane2011 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 The original post is great, and it describes my point of view and almost my situation as well. I'm also seeing someone who doesn't have a cynical bone in her body. Zero games. Zero distrust. She's really a solid person. I'm happily in the same situation with a guy. Been seeing him since mid-August, and it's so easy and good. He's good to me, I'm good to him. Most solid relationship I've ever had, and it came when I was feeling really, really shi*ty about things. The saying "it's always darkest before dawn" held true for me. 2
veggirl Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I mean really if people have such difficulty in the real world "because of" spending too much time on LS or what they read on LS, they have much deeper issues. It is a website. There is nothing wrong with reading and participating. If it starts overtaking your life and you spend all your waking hours here, that's another whole issue. But people talking about being addicted and s.hit? Really? i guess that's like how some people can...idk...play video games like a normal person and others end up rotting away in their basement with nothing else? LOL wtf it's called a middle ground...it's called normalcy..........

And maybe have a think about what has just hapened here.
Jane2011 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 But even if Im without this current gal in a few month, I wont be lonely. Im resourceful and I have good friends. And finding a chick to spend time with isnt as hard as some make it out to be tbh. Agree with this too. When I was single, I posted more on this board. And if I became single again, I'd probably post a bit more again. But even when I was single (and if I become single again in the future), I've always been emotionally removed from the board in the sense that it'd not be a crutch I was using to not still hang with people in real life (not that everyone who posts here regularly does that). When I was on here pre-relationship that I have now, it wasn't with the thought that everything was gloom and doom (nor that I hate the opposite sex, nor that LS attitudes were what is in real life; I've always known that people in the real world aren't nearly as impossible as what one might think if one believed everything one read on LS). It was just that nothing had happened (in the way of meeting someone)...as yet. I always knew I'd stumble upon another good relationship. And if my current relationship ends, I'd never be worried that it was over and hopeless. Friends, family, tons of fish in the sea....

And maybe have a think about what has just hapened here. ???????? It's insulting when people act like anyone who is on LS has no life outside of the computer and that once you (general you) get a life outside of the computer, you don't come here anymore. I enjoy LS, obviously. I like reading things on here and I like posting. I am not addicted or obsessed. Yeah I think it's weird if someone were to let this website get to them so much to the point that they struggle outside of it. That's not insulting. Actually, I would think that me pointing out the "middle ground" was rather nice! Unless you would rather believe that LS is a haven for people who can't function in the real world or something--I was saying it is not that when people were acting like it is. I think you misunderstood my post, well I hope you did. I don't think I'm an insulting person on here tbh...... 1

Pyro Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 You have great memory to remember the bed thread I made a while ago. Ive stayed over her place a several times, and we share her bed. Its an awesome memory foam bed. My back loves that bed. And its a large bed with enough room for me to sprawl out in too. It was one of the more entertaining ones made at that time, plus that thread was a one of a kind. I have never seen another thread here in all my years with that same situation.
