littleplanet Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Greetings all. This be my first (and possibly last) attempt at firing up a thread in here. We'll see how it goes. It has come to my attention that many who use social media as a tool for amorous pursuits run into a distinct problem: it requires the ability to write, alas. Which is all fine and well, when one is versed in good knowledge of the craft. However, I have noticed a concerted trend....from those expecting successful results from, shall we say - less than adequate application. I would wish to address this, but in particular a certain aspect of grouchiness in divers complaints I have read scattered about, within the gender battles I've observed on the subject: that of the ubiquitous "white" knight. Forsooth. What follows is a bit of fun cooked up for what may be a delicious repast (or not.) Please feel free enjoin the fray....with either swordplay or handkerchiefs drop'd. 'tis the sport of verbal jousting, enjoyed by one and all. *clank clank* (dismounting from his trusty steed) While raising a glass to Cyrano de Bergerac.................. ah, sweet memories. My dear Casa Novas...et al The language of love doth wax abundant and fruitful whence applied with liberal wit, mayhap charm, and perchance, true inspiration. A man may think on his feet if he can but bear the mettle to the pedal. But to arrive in this 21st of centuries intact: Methinks the gentlemen doth protest too much! Learn to write, lads. It is the stuff of romance! The world is full of lonely souls. All that stands between them is fibre-optic'd nonsense. An avatar is what it is, and a formula is what it is, and you, sirs, are sore amiss in your attitude and endeavour. I have lived long good years as a representative of the male of the species. To my knowledge, no-one has ever actually managed to conspire against my masculinity. I'm not quite sure actually, how they would go about this little chore. I've heard tell of it, in clubs, boardrooms, and lusty dusty taverns, yet still the evidence eludes me. I'm inclined to suspect it is perhaps, an old husbands' tale. I've seen it as the stuff of lasting good mirth and affection amongst good women that I know. From babes to matrons to dowagers all - their humour waxes potent. And is retuned and returned in kind...full value. I would chance a good guess that the problem lies not without, but within. Stereotypes run amuck, and insinuations lead to constipation of the merriest of amorous intent. I would let it go. Create and adjust, as they say. While we live to learn, somewhere along the way we find that we have actually learned to live. Finding ourselves surrounded by the din and racket of all that lusty noise cascading about us, we design the fabric of our speech accordingly, do we not? To celebrate our unique selves. A toast! *clank* *clank* *clank*.............................. Edited August 14, 2014 by a LoveShack.org Moderator 1

Author littleplanet Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 Well, hello Cyrano. Fun post and true and it made me . I hope it won't be your last thread.... Thank'ee for that! I've been wandering about like a shy phantom for awhile, but this mad mood of the moment escaped me while I wasn't looking. The cat is out of the bag, now. We shall see how the mice scatter! C. du B.
