Real ones. Got any real ones?
I've got one in Melbourne (2000kms away)
And locally I've got 2 (maybe 3) of what I would classify as 'near friends'
(Well they're closer than 'aquaintances' but they dont fit all the criteria for them to be an actual friend.)
The point of this thread is to try to ascertain how honest we are with one another. This is cyberspace, afterall, so we can get the gloves off and tell everyone how it is, no?
I am also interested in sexual r'ships. As for me I've had 2 serious ones and 2 kids. A girl and a boy. I'm rather happy about the way it all worked out. (considering I wanted to split with the first one,(first woman when the daughter was 5), like my job there was done.
(I'm going to stop here- starting to sound like a confessional)
edit: so the people that I like the most are not really my friends in the sense that I know where to find them or have their ph no's. The most influential closest people
Can anyone relate?

i find that people are basically useless and merely use my air, unnecessarily...
i have found a few, lemme count for a sec,
six of them, that say what they mean, do what they say they will, and are not serious about trying to live forever...
most folks seem to think they are gonna live forever...
they do the silliest things, i wonder if they think at all, and act surprised when they lose an eye...
the laws of the state of texas demand that i not kill these "humans"...
so,
i do not...
i have one friend...
my sex life i leave to yer imagination...
how am i doing???

Originally posted by Very RustyThen again have you ever met anyone that you feel like you know instantly- so instantly and intimately that you figure their is no point in pursuing that r'ship and if you run into them again, then good - you can be best buddies again. But you dont have eachother's address or phone number.

Few and far between , but when I meet a certain person in my life , I would lay my life down for that person - (couldn't think of a more apt anology there).

It is funny tho:
karoly and I have played 4 training games together
Praxis and I recently exchanged a few joke pm's
rookie and I are fellow Texans
VR and I have always gotten along well in the forums

Originally posted by MontyMooseYes, I've noticed the same thing - the further the people I know are away from me, the more they like me.

Am I an egotist? To a degree. But I believe there is a little place for everyone's ego to breathe...no?
After all there is no "God" and there power except that power which we utilize- the power of standing on the shoulders of giants?? HMMM?
Can we a achieve a 'balance' that lets chaos in as well?
Is there really anything beyond this point?
I believe the truth we have already passed...many times 😀

Originally posted by karoly aczelWhen you are down & out or in big trouble, you will very quickly learn who your true friends are.
After all a prerequisite for a "true friend" is one that you can trust. And you cant trust anyone until you can trust yourself.
Seek the guides. They can be anyone.
And be patient.
You think you are ready but you are not 😉 (dont meant to be condescending)
I think you're confusing the saying you can't love anyone if you don't love yourself.
Trust is something that is earned over a period of time.
Originally posted by Very RustyNo, not all. There is a distinction, I'll admit.

Question for you VR (I wont think either way of you depending on you answer, unless it's really crap) ---
Do you have any friends that you would consider (based on personal experience, and not just their say so), that you would trust more than your closest family and you closest friend? That you would put before friend or family?
Because, funnily enough, I have run into a few(p'haps 3) people whom after having talked to them for 5 or so mins , I felt as if I could trust them more than my wife or my mother. (It is only my then 5 yr old daughter that I would not put into the same category.)
I dont know how these situations came about exactly, but if I had to decide I would have to trust this stranger of 25mins over my mum, whom I have know for 37 years.
Is that weird?
You see I've busked all around Europe and Australia. You learn a lot about human nature.
You learn that where the most money is is not where you make the most money.
after hours, repeating the same songs it becomes like meditation.
Here's another 5 buks for breaking a string!!
Here's a dirty look for being in someone's one way.
Young people size you up, often showing their own fear.
Meanwhile I just try to play the best I can.
And find I make the most money when I'm tuning strings 😀

No.

What did they do or say to affect you that way in such a short period? Are the other relationships that poor?
