Endless Curiosity

The first criteria for a Lit friend is being able to put up with my trivialities and eccentricities. Non prejudice is a must, good humor helps, and knowing how to say my username right off has actually been a good predictor.
 
It's technically Monday here (though just barely) so I'm dropping off the question of the day in case I don't make it back. I'm anticipating an 18 hour work day. :(

Most of us make a few particular Lit friends, whether that be platonic or otherwise. What attracts you? Do you find like calls to like, or do completely different personality types hold the most appeal? Are your online friends similar in temperament to those you make off Lit?

Platonic friends? Yes, I seem to be attracted to the same type online as well as off. I veer towards personalities different from my own, usually more social types. They may be witty, flirtatious, or social butterflies, or all three. I’m more likely to be drawn towards extroverts, but those with a similar would view to my own. I’m also more likely to form one or two tight friendships than several of the more casual variety.

Friends of the non-platonic sort? Hmmm. Not entirely the same as offline. Real time I have a type, both physical and emotional. Not all relationships have fit into those parameters, but most, easily. Lit is where I explore my kink, so my interests run a little differently. I still prefer the devoted type, and I like intelligent men, of a preferably different mental type than my own. But the kink interest, well, that reigns supreme. :cattail:

As an aside. VT, you work too much!!! :(

LOL! Well that knocks me off your potential friend list. I've pondered the pronunciation of your username on more than one occasion!

Lunch break, so this one will be a quickie.

Humor attracts me, online and off. Sarcasm and quit wit are also on the list. With friendships, I'm generally drawn to people that are similar in temperament and life experience. I like friends I can relate to.

For romantic relationships, I'm very much in the opposites attract camp. I'm shy (shut up, it's true) and introverted. I'm the wall flower at the party. I like partners who are the opposite, social butterflies that can draw me out of my shell. I'm also very practical. I gravitate toward partners who are dreamers, who believe they can do anything and set no limits on their potential. They fly high while I stay rooted to the ground. Together, we drift somewhere in between.

Sexually ... I'm still figuring that one out.




As an aside. EN, it's only temporary, I promise. :eek:
 
My friends, anyone who provides me no drama and who can handle my affection.

For dudes, just guys who get it and are not douches,
 
Dinner break: Just wanted to pop in and thank all of you who've been keeping the conversation going. I was apprehensive about starting this thread, but I'm so glad I allowed the foot stomper to bribe me into it.

That said, I need questions! If you've got something you'd like to discuss, please feel free to PM me.
 
If you're fun, not an asshole/fucktard, or a bitch, I'll interact with you. I like fun people. I like nice people. I like non-judgy people. The people I've met on Lit who I consider friends are definitely people I'd hang out with in real life.

It's about making a connection.
For me, there has to be a certain level of intelligence, a particular sense of humor, and of course, being able to tolerate my peculiar set of idiosyncrasies, not to mention the ability to appreciate my decidedly odd wit and/or humor.

Foot stomper?

That...could be...anyone. :p
 
Lit, once you’ve been here a while, is something of a small community. You get to know people. Some well, some just familiar faces on the board. Where are your boundaries - hypothetical or real - when it comes to picking playmates?

Is anyone fair game? Do you draw the line at interfering with Lit couples? What if you suspect you and a friend are interested in the same person? What about friend’s exes?

-My boundaries are that I strive not to do too much. I keep my activities with "playmates"off the boards for their privacy and mine.

-I'm pretty selective. To be honest the person has to be able to get through the barriers I place and only a few have ever done it.

-I do not interfere with couples with only a few exceptions.

-I've never had a friend and i interested in the same woman. Luckily.

-I try to stay away from exes if I can.
 
Honestly - is there anything more sickening than a loved up couple. Especially when they're clearly intelligent, witty, urbane and good looking. Their passion for each other and their zest for life leaking from every pore. I do all I can to avoid such types.

Leave me to my bitterness....

There you go asking about boundaries again. Lol

Mostly, I'm just me. If someone is in a Lit relationship then they'll either let me know or show no interest in taking things farther. For example, I often flirted with Treasured even though she clearly was with Sandman but it never went farther than friendly flirting.
