The OG PLP Inquires was taken out to pasture and summarily put down but like Church crawling out of Pet Semetary, it rises again!!


The questions will span all topics and I hope this helps people engage in a positive way and meet other people they may not normally interact with and hear a variety of opinions. PM me any questions you'd like asked.

So, come play with me and bring your friends. And play nice!!

It's the sequel nobody asked for! Mwahaha!

For our first question, let's do something fun.... what 3 objects would you purchase together to most shock the cashier??
 
Well I'm in Germany, so... sunscreen, a jar of garam masala, and some teabags.
Very alien items.

What do you mean I'm not playing this game right?!
 
I'm going with Bongogal's list. LOL - that is a good one.

(As for Nevyn and ShyNaughtGal's list I don't know if any one has watchrd "Living with Yourself", the Paul Rudd comedy on Netflix. I recommend it. There is a great scene where he is in a Home Depot/Lowe's type store obviously buying supplies to kidnap someone and dispose of a body. Hilariously funny.)

Are you a jealous person? Do you get envious over some things and not others? Do you ever like being the object of someone's jealousy?

i don't like jealousy - it makes me feel yucky. But that said it's taken years, and some pretty significant personal trauma, for me to embrace, and to accept, that i don't like and don't want to be jealous. Whether it is a jealousy towards a lover or towards a friend i have finally come to a place where i do not dwell on the emotion, but rather am joyous for the experiences that i have been through and that i will go through. And, it's a place where i want others to experience pleasure without any restraint and without hesitation.

(also important to note here, there have been years of therapy geared towards exploring and trying to rid myself of said jealousy - and as always certain things are successful and others not so)

Ehhhh I’m not jealous, per se, so much as I don’t share well. I know myself well enough to know sharing someone’s affections doesn’t work for me and that, in turn, can come across as jealousy. But jealous of people’s things or experiences? Not really. I have my own, and I think a lot of jealousy is how other people are living is based on regret. And as that great tattoo tells us, NO REGERTS!

And I don’t worry enough about what other people think to know whether or not I’m the object of their jealousy. If they were jealous of anything, they’d probably have some major issues, since I have nothing to be jealous of.

I try not to be. I'd be lying if I said I never was, but I'm not to any great degree. Do I look on some things with envy? Yes, of course - but never in a way that would mean I wished someone else didn't have those things. I may wish I had them too.

It's nice to feel that someone wants your time, your attention. But not to the point where it becomes a massive issue if that time or attention is diverted, not matter where or what it is diverted to.

I used to be very jealous, but it stemmed from my own sense of inadequacy. I knew in my heart that I was not good enough to be with my SO and in the end I proved it. It has been a very long time since I had one one to be jealous over.

No, I don't have a jealous bone in my body. I can recall one incident of minor jealousy when I was in high school, which went like this. "Darn, she picked him. Ah, that's life. I hope they're happy."

I don't battle the classic sin of Envy either. I'm old, late career, and content. If I want anything I can pretty much get it, or adjust my life so it becomes attainable.

I've been the object of jealousy twice - neither of which was a pleasant experience, both of which were heralds of the end of the relationships.

Now lust, that's a deadly sin that has made me do some crazy stuff over the years. That was were my conscious went "Paul, you really shouldn't do...." and my penis responded "Too late, we're going in!"

Neither. I am not into open relationship and sharing doesn't work for me either but that's not a reason to make me jealous. When/If I'm not enough for him, I cut it off and move over. It might come off as arrogant, maybe, but it really isn't. It's just not for me. I hate the drama and I hate jealousy. It's a waste of time and all about negative emotions.

Being the object of someone else's jealousy usually is more about them, what they are lacking, than it is about me. And that isn't something that would make me feel good about. So no, It's not something I like.
 
I wouldn't call it jealousy. But I fucking hate people that get what they have because daddy had money. Or that didn't have to work for anything...or haven't had to deal with a shitty choice in life. Lol...sounds like I hate everyone! Not true...just 98%. I love me. I love my daughter. I love those that allow me to be me. Ok...so I lied...I hate 99.99999% of people.

I am not typically a jealous person. You kind of have to check that at the door when you're in an open relationship. I had one relationship that was a roller coaster of jealousy (both of us). It was just exhausting and ultimately one of the myriad of reasons we didn't work out.

Initially, I would like to say I’m not. I have an appreciation for what others may have and may want a piece of that for myself. There was a time when I could have been or could be, when matters of the heart comes up. I had realized that my own wants and expectations got in the way of what actually is.

Things like time, freedoms and friendships are what I value. To want their possessions or their husbands, items or wealth...no. I’m thankful for what I’ve been blessed with. There’s a lesson to be learned for whatever stage of life you’re in and the people that surround you. There are states of life we all may be in for a season or seasons, but there’s something valuable to be learned wherever we are in life. I can do with less than I actually thought.

Being the object of someone’s jealousy? There comes a level of trust that is in question then. To a certain extent, that level of trust intermingles with every other question in this specific set of answers. Because of my experiences, things I’ve seen and dealt with, having the interest of someone is awesome. When that interest becomes warped and zealous, that’s when it becomes testy and unsafe.
 
I am certainly not above twinges of jealousy. It's a natural emotion, but a decidedly counter-productive and unseemly one to display—no one finds you attractive when you're acting it out. So, as I do with many other emotions, I tamp it down inside of the void where my soul should be, along with a shit ton of chocolate and pasta and scotch, until I fly into the occasional violent rage. (And yes, Linda, I'm looking at you, and no, I don't know why Chad mysteriously moved to Tampa and stopped texting you. Was a body ever found? No? Well, there you have it. He just never loved you as much as I do.)

But I digress. My jealousy these days is most often directed at small, spoiled children whose incessant demands for juice boxes and Goldfish render their grownup enablers utterly incapable of carrying on an adult conversation. With me! And no, Miss Isabella Olivia Smith-Lopez, your "family standing in front of house with giant sun" water-color series is NOT an homage to Abstract Expressionism—it's merely derivative. It may fool your kindergarten teacher, but it doesn't fool me! And even at your age, I knew that human beings have five fingers. Haven't you learned how to count yet?

Seriously, I've always felt more comfortable in relationships with women who were open about their attraction to other people. And I've never much cared if they acted on it, although I do confess to an occasional and absurdly arrogant pretension when I've thought they could have been doing better—I mean, if she's into this other lout, was she just settling for me as well? But I think some healthy competition is good for a relationship—otherwise, you can get lazy and start taking things for granted.

I'm not a jealous person but I do experience jealousy. I think it's a pretty natural emotion and part of my kink, that emotional fucked up part, quite likes playing with that emotion. With the right person.
I'm positive I've never had someone be jealous over me.

What's your love language and how do you like it spoken to you?
What "non" love language is really your love language? (I.e. tacos are my love language)

I don’t believe in the whole five love language thing - the guy who wrote it is all about ‘christian relationships’.

But my non-love language that actually is a love language is cleaning. If my spouse proactively cleans something....throws in laundry. Vacuums. Whatever. He’s gonna get it. Or, I’m gonna get it. Same thing.

ETA: tacos are also a good option. I mean they’re always a good option but they’re also a good love language. Nom nom.

i agree with Avery on the issues with the author and stuff. But my love language would be performing tasks! Soo, that's pretty simple. :eek:

Well since I don't disregard all information due to my lack of taste for the author and since I've seen these be really useful for a lot of people who don't communicate well, I answer this one!

My love language is - Words of Affirmation. They can build me up so quickly or cut me to the core. I come from a family who fought with words and so I know what a double edged sword they can be. I'm also a good communicator and can spot someone not being genuine a mile away.

(If you tiktok.... https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeg9pJ2Q/ )

My non love language (other than tacos) are silly jokes, nerd shit, and jelly beans.
