ORIGINAL: WinsomeDefiance Good luck with your homework. Sorry, Win, but I am afraid I will have to fail your course. Found a blank profile, a lady half my age seeking friends only ... and I could think of nothing to write. I'm profoundly uncomfortable with this approach. It is as if to say the lady is so socially inept she needs me to break the ice. How could I explain my 'interest'? "Well, you see, there is this lady named Winsome, and she said ..." It felt too much like I was about to objectify this lady. She was just a number, one of the 20 I am supposed to write. I wasn't writing her because of her distinct personality, the manner in which she expressed herself ... I was only writing because she was "homework". Sorry, I can't do that to someone. I'd hate it if I found out someone was doing that to me. I failed your homework. Thank you for trying. See, you thought of it as homework and reaching a goal of 20. I saw it as a chance for you to reach out and possibly make a potential friend. Aww well, it was worth a try. Stepping out of ones comfort zone and doing things contrary to their habit patterns isn't easy. Especially for a dominant set in his ways (read cantankerous bugger). I just can't behave contrary to my ethical code. quote:
Maybe just start with 1 person! 1 Random person that you say something nice to, that just happens to be a slave looking for a master. Paying kindness forward has always worked for me. I've done quite a bit of that, Win. For a while anyone new who spoke of wanting to learn would receive an invitation from me to read the various essays and stories I've had posted to my profile (I've taken all but one down, but there have been times when several pages of material was presented). Many of them have visited, some wrote, nothing led anywhere. I no longer bother. Nothing I do will make a woman seeking love join this site, and considering just how many jerks there are on this site, can anyone blame a selective, emotionally mature woman seeking love choosing to avoid this place like the plague? I doubt more than six women claiming to seek love join this site per year, for all of Canada. All the rest are seeking meaningless sex/kink. The odds of a match are not good, but then, I'm not here because I think the odds are in my favour. I'm here because the alternative is to give up ... and that is something Love won't let me do. My lady is out there, somewhere. She needs me as I need her. Until she's found, I'll keep looking.
