GETTING THE COLD SHOULDER

GETTING THE COLD SHOULDER

I bet most of you readers have gotten the cold shoulder from somebody at one time or another in your life. Once in awhile we'll meet somebody, or be introduced to someone who simply doesn't like us, and makes it obvious he or she doesn't want to have anything to do with us.

Most of us have also experienced the other side of THAT coin when WE meet someone we can't stand, and want them to disappear from us sooner than later.

I'm not writing about any blog or site that I've been on during THIS summer session.

I've gotten the cold shoulder a lot of times on this site in the past, when I've prowled around and gone to a blog that was advertised on the Community page... Nine times out of ten going to a strange blog has been a waste of time, especially if it's written by a man. That is, it's a waste of time for another man to go and leave a comment. I'm a standard and can't get on profiles, so even that's a waste for me.

We all know there's some pretty seedy slum neighborhoods on this site, "Hey baby, if you wanna' fuck me, I can deliver the goods. Yada, yada, yada..."

There are also some very high class, well written blogs here. Some of them are written by men who want nothing to do with other men who happen to drop by and leave even friendly, well written comments. Years ago there was one guy who used to write a very anal, organized, never miss a day, sometimes pretty boring blog, who was a musician that I tried to befriend. I left nice comments for a couple of months and he totally ignored me...

Finally I gave up and let him have his harem without another man sticking in his nose for a little smell. lol.

One time years ago, persistence paid off for me on a blog written by an elderly woman who had exquisite taste both in the blog posts she wrote almost each day, along with the beautiful, artistic pictures she posted.

With each new post she put up, I eagerly, carefully, read the posting (along with a couple hundred other people), and wrote her a careful, respectful comment. For a couple of months she completely ignored my comments and never answered any of them. Everyone else who left a comment got a short comment from her in return. I was the odd man out. This game of musical chairs left me standing, and I probably should have had a red face, and given up.

But I continued in the same way, and then one day I received an email from her (at the time I was a Gold). "I wondered how long you'd keep leaving comments, without getting anything back from me," she wrote. "I was curious, and I was being mean to you for no reason other than my curiosity at how long you'd keep leaving me nice comments without getting anything from me in return. I'm sorry now for my behavior. Other men who've left me comments and I've acted the same way toward, have either just left my blog, or placed a mean comment to me which I had to delete, and ban them. You've been a gentleman, and you're welcome on my blog, and I'll no longer ignore you." (----this is paraphrased from memory).

She and Lola (of lola is back) were good friends. She and I also became friends, and it was gratifying to me, that my persistence paid off. She left the site after a few months, and wrote me she was very ill, and didn't think she'd return. She never did. I've missed her for years now, along with other dear, dear blogging friends I've known on this site.

During the nine years this site has generously allowed me to carry on with my blog, I've had numerous blogging friends. A lot of them were men who weren't like those guys I described above, who didn't want another man messing with the women who visited their sites-- especially a bisexual man who might put an embarrassing "make" on them. More and more straight men on this site seem to be accepting gay and bisexual men wanting to visit their blogs and be friends without trying to make out with them......

I imagine many of you reading this post are getting ready for the big Labor Day weekend coming up. M. and I are also looking forward to it. When I first moved to the desert in 1976, Labor Day always marked the end of the hot weather here.
That isn't the case any longer. The hot summers here now extends all through September and into the middle of October.

Yes! Beautiful Smoothness, and even in miles, that's a long way...lol!

When I was much younger I drove back and forth to Connecticut a number of times.. I wouldn't want to do that now, but back "in the day" that was a lot of fun and very interesting with the change of people and landscape... luv, david

    I try not to ignore people, anyone actually. I do my best to reach out to all kinds of people on these blogs. As you know, david, I think we should work together to make this place great. All kinds are welcome here on my blog, they don't even need to comment.

    I like knowing people enjoy the words I write. Sure, sometimes I am a big ole goofball; but still others? I'm a serious woman with a lot to say, I think a lot. I think it's Zara (I can't remember her whole handle) who said, those with an over active imagination have neurons firing off in their frontal lobe at a high level. I think that may be true.

    I like those people, and one of those people are You! You with your amazing mind, kind heart, and caring words. You with your quick intelligence, and the words you write to unite us.

    I think I remember reading you wanted to become sheriff of the town you live in, if I'm wrong, I apologize. But, if it's true, and you were in MY hometown...I'd vote for you. And, remember, I'm a criminal, so...take what I'm saying here with that weight in mind.

    You have a fair mind, you see the good in people, and don't allow pictures and ridiculousness of the media and other places to cloud your judgment, and that's another reason I like you so much, my friend. You are a "good guy", in my opinion

    Why? Because you care

    Hugs my wonderful friend, you Know I'm Going to Miss You when You're Gone
Your certainly DO make this site a better place, sweet love.. Your abilities flow all through this site like a refreshing meandering sweet water stream filled with the force of life.

It was just "tongue in cheek" when I mentioned the urge to be a Matt Dillon... I could never be in any law enforcement, I've never had any urge to force my will on others. Even during the many times I was called to Jury Duty, I usually got off when I pleaded with the Judge that I was not a person who could Judge other people.

My sex life is too good even at my ancient age, to create any desires to oppress anyone. I'm a big believer that most violence in men (at least) is created by blockage of their ability to freely express their frequent sexual natures. Love you darling, david

    I don't know this woman, she lives "across the pond". But, I will attest that the times I have gone to her blog and commented, she was very sweet and welcoming to me.

    Thank you Fashionblegma, for being this way. You are a beautiful soul, much like david here.
Gypsy, your great ability to climb up the Tower of Babble is a gift our government could certainly use. You are a gentle soul who's been stung in life so many times, but you still come back to the ring for the next match and take the slings and arrows of life without flinching... With admiration and love, david

No, H.C., I have too many things to try and finish up before someone pulls my switch to "off".. I have a lot of distant relatives back East, and even though I'm dreading that long trip to Connecticut, I probably will have to make it. At least my Apache guard, M. will be there with me for support...

It's always a pleasure to read your posts and comments HC.. and I love your pictures.. Thank you from a distance for all the work you've done in the Post Office, because even at those many miles away, the ripple of your work reaches all through that great American institution...

May your love life prosper and grow, and I hope you'll still be on this site when I return May 1, 2017.. Affectionately , david...

You're a wonderfully fluent writer Alabama lovely! Great woman like you are what make this site so fascinating to the scores of people who roam it.

Your energy, intelligence, and ability to express yourself clearly and honestly, are the things that make this site such a success in all people like us with an avid interest in sexual things, without hiding that interest. We all have other interests too of course, but for me at least, my ability to be totally honest about my sexual perversions, is an outlet that I've always craved especially when I was in the "closet".. Thank you so much for coming to my blog and leaving such great comments.... david

    It's just people are different. Can't win them all. You seem so nice.
I've been on a few other sites, and have always dropped the others in a few months because of the way they're set up.. This site is the best one I've ever found because of the ability to have our own web page for blogging.. and the great way the comments are allowed. People like you, Positively..., make the experience here a wonderful adventure for me each summer. Thank you so much for leaving a sweet comment.. david

OH beautiful Chocolate ! ! I have too many things all lined up to take care of before the earth to earth, ashes to ashes, and dust to dust grabs me.. and IT'S all over for me... As soon as the weather cools a bit, I need to get into other ventures 'cause I like to keep my stuff in order..

I assume I'll be still good when May 1st, 2017 turns around , and I'll be back on again then.. You know I'll be thinking of you though the winter, and doing my meditation with you in my mind. Incidentally, I just finished Michael Connelly's THE GOD'S OF GUILT, which was pretty good, and now I'm reading DUST, by Patricia Cornwell... which starts off great, but is starting to slow down as I get into the middle.. it's a crime thriller...

May all sorts of miracles happen for you, sweet woman... love, david

    After all my 11 yrs writing and reading blogs yours is the only one i read regularly.....lol even if I don't always comment.
You've always been a wonderful blogging companion, and I've come to think of you a lot when I 'm doing other things, like "I wonder what Lady Smoothness is doing way up there across the continent, today.. I bet she's working on her beautiful flowers . Or. "Oh, oh, I don't think Lady Smoothness is going to like this post I just put up---too much of my depravity in it!! "

Thank you for being you, Silky... I love you even from these thousands of miles away.. David.

In a hot climate, even a cold shoulder would probably be welcome when the temp. climbs above 100...
