an overdue apology post

[glBock]

When I reviewed some of my personal ads recently, it hit me that some of my words contained some unjustified hubris, I am afraid, something I am not proud about at all. Something I must apologize for, and I am doing it now. Because I regret those words now.

Perhaps understandable for my frame of mind when I wrote what I did, but nevertheless my frame of mind was I bit whacky then, I hate to admit. Shit happens, I suppose, but I regret it happened to me.

I had simply not ventured outside the Personal ads to any extent, and much of what I wrote did in fact apply only to ads of many people there, but not elsewhere. But in the mean time I discovered other forums beyond the Personals, and there I see quite a number of posts now with a lot of substance. As that happens also in the Personals section now, occasionally. So again, my apologies for some very much uncalled-for remarks in some of my posts. Several Lit women have a lot mores substance than I had been giving them credit for.

I figure it pays sometimes to reflect on one's own unfortunate assessments and actions in the past. While I am not proud at all about my misdeeds, I feel better now for having widened my horizon. And for getting something highly disappointing about myself, off my chest finally.

When I reviewed some of my Personal ads recently, I hit upon a rather unfortunate realization: I had inserted quite a bit of content into some of these posts and ads then, which I now regret. A lot of unjustified hubris, I am afraid, something I am not proud about at all. Something I must apologize for, and I am doing it now.

I'm curious as to what changed your thought process here, why you re-read your posts. It's a good thing to do, indeed.

I don't know whether you really want to know every factor, QL. Main Impetus for changing my thought process were different women I read posts of on forums other than the Personals.

Brought me to realize that there existed some depth in women there, that I had not encountered before. Which then drove me to realize that some of my earlier comments on shallowness were vastly overblown.

Just because I find most personal ads written by women not worth reading, that does not mean that no depth exists.

does that answer your question?

Try the playground, non game posts for extra depth

I think so, thanks. I think many women, upon joining Lit, find no need to post personal ads as they soon are bombarded with messages anyway. And some of the personal ads supposedly written by women may not actually written by women.

A valid observation you made, I believe.

another thought

Something else occurred to me, when I re-read this thread again: to my amazement, none of the posters here were making fun of my words, nor did any poster aim to heckle me.

I wonder, could it be that an ad without any overbearing word in it, receives better treatment here?

Something to keep in mind, should I write another personal ad again.
