Personally I don't look for certain people's posts.
I usually look at all the topics on the first two pages and then decided whether to reply to any or not!
It really isn't a big deal to me.... I usually pay my way with everything anyway so often insist on paying for a room if I have the cash. It doesn't feel like prostitution to me... it's just paying for a facility.
The conversation we were having wasn't in relation to swinging...... it was just one of those convo's you have where there is no real direction or debate but everyone has a different view so I thought I'd bring it on here.
I don't expect a man to pay for everything...... I think that is old fashioned personally, yes if you are in a relationship and your man offers to pay then why not, even if you're not in a relationship too. But I'd then pay for something in else in the future if we went out.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.... as they (whoever "they" are) say!
I used to go to Karaoke most weeks in my youth..... can't sing a note but had bloody good fun!
It's nice to know that people clap and cheer even though you sounded like to were being strangled!
I was at the pub at lunch today and the subject of our conversation came to hotels and sex (the two go hand in hand!).
Basically, and I don't want to be sexist but this conversation was between men and women, most of the the women thought that if she was paying for a hotel and going to have sex with someone then that'd be kind of like paying for sex.
Whereas the men were fine with paying and thought nothing of it, it's just paying for a facility like if they were to do it in a car or house - the other person paid for it but it's not paying for the actual sex.
I mentioned that you could both go halves on the hotel - then no one is doing the other a favour....that didn't go down too well as apparently I'd spoiled the conversation.
Do you think it was just a stupid conversation people have in pubs or did both sides have a point?
.....you get when you just know you've met someone before but there is no way in the world you could have..... have you ever had that?
I went out on Friday night and met some of my mum's colleagues - one of them I really thought I had met before - she looked so familiar. She's only just moved here after living in Cornwall for the whole of her life so there is no way I could have met her anywhere before. We chatted loads that night, like we'd been friends for ages..... how strange!
I'm normally quite a shy person when with people I don't know so it was quite weird to be able to chat to someone like that.
Bleeding hell!
What is happening lately? Clare and Steve have been around long enough to know that people don't pry into other people's personal lives unless invited (well most people anyway!).
I think, from what I've read, most people were showing concern without wanting to know details of what was wrong. They just wanted a reason for the cancellation...... and to know why it wasn't being re-organised by someone else.
I wasn't around when the original Munch thread was placed - I would have very much liked to go but as I live down south it would have meant I'd have to arrange travel, accommodation etc etc and if I was on the list I'd be pretty annoyed that it was cancelled with no proper reason and no willingness to hand the reigns over to someone else.
Help was offered, not just with re-organising the Munch.....but general help if Clare and Steve needed it.
I don't know the problems of Clare and Steve and nor do I wish to..... we all have bad things happen and we all deal with them differently! To blast everyone with the same ungratefullness and angryness just isn't right.
I do hope Clare and Steve sort out their problem but I hope they realise that people on SH do care and that doesn't mean they are prying!
I'm still a bit raw after my break up - trying to pull myself together and then this thread comes along! I should ignore it I know, but I'm not going to - you have to feel the pain in order to get over it!
I miss: Holding hands, closeness, cuddles, kisses, sharing, going out and not knowing where we're heading, knowing someone loves me and I love them back, the butterfly feeling when you see them, having a laugh, having someone to cry & laugh with, having someone who treats me as i treat them, waking up in the morning with them and having a cuddle, holidays, even the rows!
I miss it all!
But then saying that, I know there must be someone else out there for me as it obviously wasn't right.
