Star Gazer Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm curious to know who here has actually met any other person from LS in the flesh, other than Hokie and Star? All this speculation as to what someone is really like is just that, speculation, because you are going by words on a page and your illusions about someone, nothing more. Allina, 2Sunny and I have all met Tanbark. I've met a few others as well, as purely friends - male and female - and have a small handful of people I trust as friends on FB. Although my favorite doesn't post here anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Author USMCHokie Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 I saw you pop up on FB along with random people. Interesting... Say it ain't so!! Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 This other stuff, is a train wreck. I would lose a ton of respect for someone if they publicly aired laundry with such personal details as exampled throughout this thread and I would feel humiliated to boot. It's sad that two people can go from being caring/considerate towards each other, to this. I could never imagine myself or an ex going back and forth like this publicly, but then again my ex's and I were together for several years so perhaps that changes things a bit. The difference here is this isn't "public." LS is an ANONYMOUS forum for the most part. All of two people on LS know Hokie personally, and one of them isn't even reading/participating. Further, the details posted were HARDLY personal. I posted about a text, a text he had already publicly admitted sending, and about a substance (still having feelings) that he ALSO had already publicly admitted. Not one thing I said in this thread was news or hadn't already been shared by Hokie himself. I have never betrayed Hokie's confidence. Not once. He cannot say the same.

jerbear Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Say it ain't so!! I have a few LS'ers on FB; who are friends of other LS'ers so eventually someone will pop up as a "people you might know". I'm one of the few who don't have an FB profile pic. Link to post Share on other sites

Citizen Erased Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm curious to know who here has actually met any other person from LS in the flesh, other than Hokie and Star? All this speculation as to what someone is really like is just that, speculation, because you are going by words on a page and your illusions about someone, nothing more. I met b4r, Johan and married Pyro after meeting on here. It is possible to meet people from here that are exactly as great IRL as on LS. Unfortunately Hokie and Star didn't work out, doesn't mean their issues aren't real. Obviously they are or this thread wouldn't have been off topic since the second page.

tigressA Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I haven't met anyone from here. It'd be really exciting, I think. I have not even the slightest idea who on LS would be closest to me geographically, though. Link to post Share on other sites

Not one thing I said in this thread was news or hadn't already been shared by Hokie himself. I have never betrayed Hokie's confidence. Not once. He cannot say the same. It really isn't THAT anonymous, when/if established members are involved in each others dating encounters on an open forum and are acquainted with one another off the forum and/or have been romanticly involved and then display it out on here. We all tend to get caught up in the heat of the moment from time to time regardless, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships. I wasn't trying to single anyone out with my contribution to this thread, there are always two sides to every story. Whether or not those choose to publicly air it and/or engage it, is up to both individuals. Link to post Share on other sites
Titania22 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I met up with a girl from here. It was an interesting experience. Makes me wonder what the rest of you are really like. Link to post Share on other sites

RecordProducer Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Does humor really increase your attraction towards a man, or is it something you just say...? Yes, but the guy has to really make me laugh, not just make me acknowledge that he is upbeat and making jokes as oppsed to grumpy and dark. I have to laugh a lot, the humor has to be unique (not re-telling jokes) and intelligent (not just silly). It has to prevade the majority of the communication and be sort of always ready to make a funny comment. Also, he has to understand my jokes and genuinely laugh at them - not for ego purposes but for that feeling of closeness and compatibility. Is there even an explanation for why humor is so appealing to you? Because we want to be around people who are giving us some fun times. I use humor in everything, even when I talk about the most serious topics; I interject jokes into those conversations about the topics discussed. And it's important to me that my partner gets my jokes. I use humor with my kids, too, and they've learned that humor is part of our communication. Link to post Share on other sites

Tybalt Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 If its for an LS romance, that one post with accompanying avatar is enough. Mission accomplished baby, just pm me.

Pyro Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 So after my past weekend's experiences in Vegas, I am now starting to genuinely believe the notion that quality humor really can overcome almost anything when it comes to women... Women, your thoughts...? Does humor really increase your attraction towards a man, or is it something you just say...? Is there even an explanation for why humor is so appealing to you? Men, what are your experiences with this...? humor is definitely a must for any relationship to start and last. Keep in mind that we all have our style/type of humor that we prefer or can not stand, so having humor in general will not let you have the pick of the litter. Link to post Share on other sites

Tybalt Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 In all seriousness, when two people "get"one another's humor, it becomes a bonding situation and a scenario where a mutual respect is demonstrated, in my opinion. It's warming, charming, sensual and shows that the respective parties honor each other, in a way. Link to post Share on other sites
