I'm an old dog, I leave no time for gossip in my life. This clown doesn't participate in that part of the circus.
One of the MANY things I LOVE about you...

Has anyone ever told you that you have great taste?![]()


< Online I can flirt with ease. I think that's why I do it so much, because I can.
In person?![]()
Nope, can't do it. Words and tone and body language and expression ... brain overload! I also don't notice when someone allegedly has flirted with me. Doesn't register at all.

Gossip, here and in real life, doesn't play a role. I have little time for it, and typically could care less. I'll form my own opinions, thank you very much.
I've been around on Lit for long enough to hear a little gossip, although I'm far from the central distribution hub. I don't usually put a great deal of weight on it. If A is making negative assertions about B then I feel that could potentially reflect as badly on A as on B, unless I know either A or B well enough to make a value judgement on them.Gossip. Some love it, some avoid it like the plague. If you’re on Lit long enough it’s nearly impossible not to hear a little gossip, even if inadvertently. How much does Lit gossip affect you? Has it affected any of your interactions or changed your view of another Litster?
I honestly don't know whether I flirt. If I feel a connection with someone, then I'm likely to offer them sincere compliments, but I won't invent stuff just to flatter them. Is that flrting? If I know them well enough to be reasonably sure that they won't misinterpret my interest, then I may get playful with it. Is that flirting? One of my "hot buttons" is sensing that someone lacks confidence and would benefit from the boost of some honest praise or admiration. I feel an affinity with that and possibly some attraction too, but is that flirting? I really haven't a clue.Online I can flirt with ease. I think that's why I do it so much, because I can.

She likes me, so she has the occasional lapse
yanno sumpin'?LOL! I am not a natural flirter. I am learning (Lit is soooo educational!). But if I’m doing it - in my own awkward way - it means little.
Now, when I become flustered and lose all ability to articulate or express myself in any coherent fashion…that’s when I’m in trouble.
Drop dead sexy, that’s me.

< I don't find those threads very funny or educational.. Unless I'm trying to learn which posters are horn dogs or fishing for play partners . In which case.. they're very enlightening...

Hahahaha! And, to think, all this time I've been on my guard thinking they all were^.
Another illusion shattered.![]()
I'll have you know some of us horn dogs don't like those threads either!

I feel like I'm pretty out of the loop from a Lit gossip standpoint. I hear occasional tidbits, but not a lot and I'm okay with that.
I have had a few instances where I was interacting with individuals on the threads and I would suddenly get a PM from someone with a "friendly warning" about the person I was interacting with. I tend to take those with a grain of salt and try to form my own opinions.![]()
It is my express goal to be the one other people warn you about.
"That guy? He has this thing...with raccoons. It's weird. STAY AWAY"
That totally explains a random PM I got about you once![]()
Editing out a double post. Stupid internet.
I may as well use this to actually answer the question: never been involved in any drama.
Starting? My kid saw it on an Internet Safety video....
Editing oh ffs...! ☺

We all have to have that one friend, you know the kind. Hahahaha


Correction...I lub u...No lapse...a very sound mind...Chivas free![]()
Unrequited attraction is a bitch, whether it be a relationship that’s gone cold or an unrealized crush. How do you deal when your love (or sex) interest is less interested in you than you are in them? Do you drown yourself in one of the classics, like ice cream or whiskey? Meaningless sex with strangers? Or just suck it up and move on?

Finally a question I can answer....kind of although when do we get to see VT's cute shoes?
I am not a gossip person. I do not let gossip affect me when it comes to the people I choose to be friends with on here. This viewpoint has lost me friends because I don't get involved with the drama. Life's too short for petty disagreements and such. I mean it's not high school.
If so and so is cyberring so and so while talking to a different so and so, it has nothing to do with me honestly.
