Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Impossible to miss the ending. We all have an ending which is really a beginning. But I understand your sentiment.
It's tough... I get it. In regards to "other half" the only thing that matters in the end is loyalty. Someone who's got your back no matter what. They know the soft spots and refuse to stab you in them. Time heals all wounds - and some run deep...
Having dated literally hundreds before settling down, every other aspect becomes moot as they all fade - and what's left is spirit - in the context of true marriage. T&A becomes meaningless at a certain point - I say this having sampled more than my share in every possible configuration imaginable.
"Man's best friend" is called that for a reason... because you've got somebody to care for and love, which takes the edge off loneliness AND more importantly, allows you to think clearly when it comes time for interviewing potential candidates...it also masks the smell of desperation, because you're at least no longer hopelessly lonely - because you've got your little buddy.
The "other half" thing is a misnomer. It's possible to be "complete" on your own 100%... and anyone else who wants to come along on YOUR ride, is just extra. You are the captain. They are first mate. I'm sure you know all this... and I hope I'm not rubbing salt in any wounds... sometimes we all need a friend to remind us that we're kings in a world that wants you to be a lowly pawn...cheers
Thank you my friend.
