The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I agree. I like cyber and phone sex, but I do not do that with those who I might wish consider offline. I guess I’d rather have the possibility of reality without prior fantasy. I’m not sure I’m explaining that correctly.
Not that I’d discount certain cyber partners.
I have done cybersex, I mean it's basically two people talking dirty to each other to masturbate to.

She and I have done that. OUr first chat ended taht way. It wasn't planned or expected. We were just goofing around and it just ended in sexy talk and felt a lot of fun, all things considered. She said she enjoyed it too and we chatted ever since, not always ending that way. Now talk has moved on to a somewhat deeper level.

I really don't know. I have allowed myself to be honest and vulnerable so hurt is a very likely outcome. That will only be mitigated through straight talking and honesty. She asked me some stuff about myself that, had I lied about, would have led to a somewhat different outcome and possibly relationship. I don't like lying. I am not comfortable with it, but somtimes it can be the more better option.

Cyber sex can be much more that, several of my long term cybers have become rl friends but not lovers.
People can ask about whatever, you can answer without lying, but you don’t have to fully disclose.
I guess after 22 years here, I’m kind of jaded. There are lots of good people here, but there are also many messed up ones and down right bad ones, narcissists for instance, who can be whatever they believe you want.
It’s pretty disheartening when you realize the person you thought you knew isn’t real, is just a shell and nothing was ever real because there is nothing real about them. This is how narcissists survive, they constantly use people, it’s like they are fuel. This site attracts more than its far share.
They use sex and intimacy as a way to connect to their victims. They can be very good.
Then there are the players. I don’t really get why they do it.
Explore, find out more, but hold onto your self, your heart.

Maybe. I can't speak to your experiences nor would i wish to. For me it's a little different for personal reasons and maybe because i haven't found the right cyberpartner. But I think I will always feel that i'd rather have the 'real' thing.

Sure. That isn't always the case though. But we don't need to get into the specifics in this case.

Most of the ppl I've encounetered seem objectively nice people. The only really negative person was a lady in the UK Chat room who had a profile that said she liked roleplay but without roles (words to that effect). I asked her what she meant and she was just "are you stupid?"

Nah.

Of course. I think it would be very easy to lose oneself on this site.
 
Hmmm, that's a very interesting comment to me.

This site can be a lot of things. And it can be different things to different people. I see from your join date that you are new here.

There is something about the anonymity that allows people to open up in ways they probably would not in the real world. Likewise, it allows people to hide things from all of us here. That double edged sword can be troublesome, but it is also why I personally enjoy this place. It allows us to see sides of people we probably wouldn't see anywhere else. I have really enjoyed that aspect of this site.

I also have quite a few long running DM messages with people here, and I consider these people friends. We may never meet in real life, but they are people I have come to care about. Maybe they are who they present themselves as here, and maybe not. But, how is that really any different than acquaintances in real life?

My thoughts would be to enjoy this place for what it is. Hang around, get to know people, and let the newness of the place wear off. There are some amazing people here, and also some weirdos, and some complete assholes too.

As for meeting that person IRL, if it seems right, go for it. If not, don't worry about it. Either way, enjoy it for whatever it turns out to be.
I agree with your observation about this site as well as your advice. If things work out where you meet someone IRL and there is chemistry, then great. If not, even us “old fools” learn lessons. And it’s OK.
 
Happy Sunday morning everyone. Hope all had a great start to the weekend. It was hot as blazes here yesterday, well maybe not that hot but hot. When I went outside the first thing I wasted to do was turn around and come back inside. The water temperature in the Gulf is 83F so it is warm enough for these old bones to jump into.
 
I recall being in basic training in the Air Force in San Antonio in Sept. It was hot and there were days we did not train outside because of the heat. We had guys falling over during PT from the heat. The DI told us the best thing to do was drink a hot cup of coffee and that would cause you to sweat more and cool you down. We
 
It sounds hopeful.
Some advice
Be prepared to accept the worse, and it’s okay, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Make sure you voice talk with her first, and find out who she really is.
There are players and fakes here like anywhere else, be careful. Even men pretending to be women, and women who are not free to be in relationships.
Make sure not to tell her more than she’s telling you.
Do not help with money, gifts, etc…
If she’s real, which I hope she is, there will be time later.
All that said there are a lot of real people and real relationships including marriages have happened.
Good luck!’
This is good advice for any online encounters especially on dating sites.

Good morning and very cool compared to you. It’s in the low 50s and with sun will get into the 60s. I plan to walk a few miles and then start declutter the garage.

Have a great day!
 
The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Doing the same thing again and getting a different result is the definition of 'I don't believe you!'

For some reason all of my lit won’t let me bold or so multi quote or anything for the last week

I put regular gas in (which is a big no no.

I drained the gas.

I put in oil/gas mix which should have been in.

This reminded me of the sci-fi British comic book 2000ad and one of my favorite characters Abelard Snazz: mad scientist, inventor, genius and the man with a double decker brain. (He was called eight eyes when he had to put on his glasses.)

Anyway, on a planet with rampant crime, snazz is called in to help.

He invents police robots to rid crime, but of course they go too far. Snazz winds up reducing the planet to a police state, and everyone is in jail. (The president gets arrested by the robots for making a grammatical mistake )

So he invents robot criminals, but then innocent citizens are getting caught in the crossfire, so he invents robot civilians to be harmlessly wasted, and eventually the robots crowd the humans off the planet and he is cast into space.

Funny stuff.
