I can't tell y'all how glad I am being able to write this post today. Most specifically after reviewing the first 80 posts of the Personals board; a most annoying collection of outflows from men and from people claiming to be women, so I find. With some of them actually being women; I know because I have chatted with some.
I had found very few exceptions to that observation, sadly.
Some time ago I had still been looking for a woman to connect with. And I had tried to achieve that for quite some time. To no avail, except for very brief moments of apparent connections, which did not pan out in the end.
But then as summer was beginning, my luck changed, all of a sudden. And there was nothing in particular that I had done differently. Verifying my claim that making meaningful contacts through Lit is nothing other than simply a lottery game. I just drew a winning ticket for a change, that is all that was different.
And even then, our road to virtual happiness was a bit rocky for fairly long. But much of it had to do with the problems and impediments on the way to my sweetheart and me getting to know one another. I admit that it was SHE, more than me, who made our final success a reality.
If you don't mind; LadyJS, I like to address your (very friendly, BTW!) comments plus advice here to Passionate_Gent. I had posted to him earlier and told him that IMHO his ad was just right. But you believe substantial content was missing.
What is the essence of our differences of opinion? You seem to believe that a woman would PM him much easier, if he only mentioned his musical tastes, or stated his hobbies. For some strange reasons I fail to understand, you actually think that meaningful connections need hobby or music resonances, to form and work out.
I tend to believe, on the other hand, – and so does P.G. – that an ad expresses far more, when a man outlines in it his determination for making a non-shallow connection. And his readiness to share his life with the right woman, and vice versa.
I suppose our difference in opinion can simply be explained by our difference in ages. Or maturity, if one thinks optimistically.
But LadyJS, kudos to you, for attending to P.G.'s ad so diligently, and with so much empathy. A rare occurrence on Lit, according to my observations. Quite different from shelly in her hotwife ad, for instance, or OpenBlouse in several variations on the theme of how desirable a woman she is. Not to mention ads without any substance at all, like the one from AshleyKisses. Or that from RoxyChick, who seems to believe finding out, how many Litsters are from California has any bearing whatsoever, on "the price of beans".
So I am expressing my relief today, for not having to wade thru literary masterpieces like those above any longer. Thanks to the good luck contained within a winning lottery ticket. And thanks to the persistence of my darling sweetheart. For which I like to thank her again, this time from here in public!
