That spiritual feeling.

Sticks48 comments on Oct 4, 2018:

I have never had a feeling of spirituality of any kind. It is a feeling that is totally alien to me.

What a pig. If he was in a country where he could get away with it, he would be as bad as the worst dictators of the 20th Century, and at least a half dozen of those are among the worst in history. One of those might be the worst in history, and at least three others would probably be top five. He is a horrible human being.

Something I learned about myself in the chat tonight.

Sticks48 comments on Oct 2, 2018:

You are not the only one. I think it is hard to tell in this black and white printed world we exist in online. Subtle can be too subtle in print.

The sound just is so sexy

Sticks48 comments on Oct 2, 2018:

Yes, most definitely. Sometimes it has been because of an accent.

No, seriously the blocking is getting really stupid.

Sticks48 comments on Oct 2, 2018:

I found someone blocked by me that l know l didn't block. Maybe it was a glitch.

Having been divorced for a year I have been looking at single pages and the like.

Sticks48 comments on Sep 30, 2018:

l have been on here 6 months, and find this part of it uncomfortable. Messaging is not conversational. They are more like office memos than conversation. People sometimes take things wrong and then you sound like an ass trying to explain you were joking, but that doesn't mean they believe you. Or they ghost you, or they think you are ghosting them, when maybe you are waiting days for a response. Sometimes l feel like l might be bothering them. This is not how the real world works.This is not how building friendships or relationships work. There some forty thousand members here. How many couples do you know who have met here? So l am conflicted about the whole deal.

I know it looks like he's trying to eat my hair but he's really in love with me! Goaty!! ???

Scene: 40th high school class reunion. My friend Kari texts 2 others: “Where are you?

Sticks48 comments on Sep 30, 2018:

When l walked in at my 20th l thought l was at the wrong place. I finally recognized one person, and then l started recognizing people here and there. There were only two people whose job or life surprised me. It was kind of strange.

Not in all regions of AZ, we are a diverse state.

When we played Phoenix in August years ago, it was 112 with twenty something percent humidity. I walked out of the bar around midnight for some fresh air, and it was still 101 according to the bank across the street. It was miserable.

All right, you godless lot.

Sticks48 comments on Sep 30, 2018:

I told a young friend of mine and her young band (all in their early 20's)what a good job they did after their debut last night, because they did. Thinking about it, l compliment people all the time. It is such an easy thing to do, and hopefully makes a person feel a little better.

Thanks everyone for words of encouragement and for those that reached out.

Sticks48 comments on Sep 30, 2018:

Not close to the truth. Like alot of postings on this site filled with idealistic ideas, but not based on fact. Maybe in your world that may be true, but not in the the world l live in and see on a daily basis.

I think I can say this is true for many of us on here.

Sticks48 comments on Sep 30, 2018:

It does appear the women l seem to have any connection to live five hundred or more miles from me. It also seems most women just want to msg all the time. After a point messaging is a horrible way to communicate. Look at your messages and tell me when in your life you ever had a conversation, whether in person or by phone that resembles messaging. After awhile they feel more like office memos than conversation. Finally, if you are here to meet someone, post a picture, and do any of you folks know how to fucking smile?

What is your favorite movie monster?

What is Love?

Sticks48 comments on Sep 30, 2018:

I don't believe romantic love can be can be defind. It is too subjective. Love for family, friends, or even pets is fairly easy for most people to define. This other love, not so much. I don't believe unconditional love exists in romantic relationships. Family, friends, and pets yes.

I'm a sucker for love songs.

"Physical penetration is sex, which is a very superficial thing.

I love it when one of these things ignites this many responses that come from every direction. That is when this place gets fun. ☺

I find the subject of attraction very interesting.

That pretty much nails it.

When it comes to love. What form of expression ( besides a kiss) makes your emotions feel it?

Sticks48 comments on Sep 30, 2018:

A certain expression or look.There is something in the eyes. I can't explain it, but when l see it, there is something there that even a gentle touch or hug can't make me feel.
