YOU have trouble opening up. I read the OP and the first thought I had was, "I don't trust this."

still thinking that..... (sorry, it's me way)ohwell


That's cool, this thread wont suit everybody, and yes I agree a lot will be skeptical, it is what it is though, and the longer people are involved here the more they will see it as a refuge from.......well whatever they are seeking refuge from.

Can you ever really be open and honest in the forums while so many watch...it's like being naked in public....


Being naked in public is very liberating........sometimes you have to do that to break the shackles of the past.by g hi
Every one who writes in here honestly, will find it very liberating and will attract like minded people that admire their strength and bravery.

Its a brave new world Tanzy.


The unfortunate part is that I there are friends in here and foes....that keeps me on guard because info on the internet is easily manipulated.......just because I trust you doesn't mean I trust who you associate with....

I definitely agree Tanzy. some of us have no desire to be naked in public even if the image will not be manipulated. That is not always the point. I honestly do not trust peeps who have a "tell all" mentality...

often those who say the most have the most to hide, look at lawyers and politicians....all they do is talklaugh

as for me, id be more open when mingle2 gives me the option of deleting any/all posts I create.....until then I'll be honest with those I know

its not about talking more, tho, its about being open and honest. Thats a great idea about deleting posts....on the other hand...you can edit for a while before it becomes permanent. as for being honest with those you know...how will that happen if you/they arent being open and honest.

Im picking up on a bit of projecting from the trend of blaming people who actually choose to be open and honest. Makes people look guilty and afraid if they mudsling for being different. No one will be forced to be open. ...so how bout we dont insult the ones who are.


I'm not mudslinging, just being honest and open if what MY opinion is......If you look back at my post history....I mean WAY back I used to share the same view, but honestly being open in a public forum, while being healthy for me emotionally, ultimately caused more heartache/headaches then was necessary.

Here is the main problem, you say something in a post, a personal revelation, a problem you are dealing with AT that time....you vent you feel better you move on.... or so you think, someone you know sees your post from 6 months or longer ago. ...while this may be old news for you it is new news for them, forcing you to relive issues that would be better left in the past.

“Well, any love makes us vulnerable. Whatever we love will give the gift of pain somewhere along the road. But who would live sealed in spiritual cellophane just to keep from ever being hurt? There are a few people like that. I'm sorry for them. I think they are as good as dead.” - Taber

Im kinda sad that so many are afraid to be open and honest on here. I sure do understand tho. I like being open but of course there are some things I dont share....unless the topic leads there organically:tongue:

whoami kidding...i spill it everywhere like a big ol mess.
but no address or phone number etc, like mikey said..
Im pretty trustworthy tho, so sorry people dont feel it. gotta go with what makes you comfortable tho. I know thats what I do.


Hi and welcome, you get it...:smile:

Okay,
maybe some clarification here...of course I am not going to spill the entire intimate details of my life, but what I and the rest of us will share is what we have gleaned from our life experiences.
That might mean bringing up things from our pasts, they will be bought up if relevant to our discussions in here.

I am happy to share parts of me, and I want other guys and girls to share as well, most of the people I know on here are not here to beat each other up or mess with other, they are here to find love and a partner......after all this is a dating site, isn't it, if we expect to find some one here it is imperative we learn about each other, warts and all.

I personally have no time for old issues, when I joined this site I made a conscious decision to leave all my old crap behind, it was a new start for me and very refreshing............anyway thats my 2 cents worth.
Honest and Brave.

I am an open canvass with someone who has the right intenstions....it's why I asked what everyone is looking for in here...

I came with the intention of posting in the forums but it's begun to change when I met someone who showed me that there might be more...

Everyone has their own journey......
