Friends?

[LalaniElectrica]

Yes Ms. Erica, we will have to take Emily Marie out for a shopping trip one of these days, now that she is back on the Island lol Then, ladies, we r hitting the club!!! Dance the night away and break a sweat, forget about perfect hair etc, let it all out and set the floor on FIRE! (not a big drinker or etc, just love to dance hard and long)

I have quite a few friends in and out of this industry, and I nurture all of them as best I can, although we do not need to talk or hang every day or week, we get together when we can, or organize a fundraiser in the local community which brings all our friends together to re-connect outside of the industry. I think as "lovers" we have a lot to offer both male and female, and so I enjoy "loving" the community whenever possible, as it's a great way to give back, and a lot of fun to have dinner and host events. I mostly have friends and close friends and do not maintain many acquaintances myself, as I am much too busy to have non-lasting connections that are not as meaningful, so I stick with those who can handle my sense of humour and if I am not done up, we always share a smile and sincere hug, and joke and continue where we left off I have great connections with my immediate family as well, they are the best of friends to me I also have friends I only meet randomly in van at certain clubs (mostly persians) and they see me and we dance all night long with big smiles, even though they do not speak english, we speak through dance, and they always recognize me and love me, and I them! Kisses to all, have a great night!

thinking about this and why most of us are close to so few people.


you know the people who hurt us the most in our life, are those that supposedly love us the most, are closest to us.


choose the people around you wisely or those that you let into your soul wisely

I think it is a common problem for single people in their 40s to 60s+.

There is a club called "The Inside Edge" that organizes ski trips, a soft ball league, hiking, kayaking, movie nights, dances, etc. They own a lodge up at Whistler where members can typically stay for about $40.00 a night. The lodge sleeps about 20 people. Membership is about $60.00 a year. They have communal dinners/events up at the lodge on holidays such as Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, etc. All events are organized by volunteers which is why the prices are so low. The members are mostly 50 +/- 10 years of age. It is a good way to meet new people and create a social circle of like minded friends. You can Google their website.

its funny or interesting.

I have been out of it for a while, just I had a medical thing, quite scary for a while, and still not in the mood for sex.

But you know I see my sp more then I did before.it seems like once a week or more we need some face time.

Its funny all those comments about gold diggers and no free social time.
And all the shit and abuse I took for actually having supper dates with my sp,

its nice you know that she is a close and a good friend.
everyone says stop paying her and see what happens, well I haven't and we see each other more.

Treat a women like a whore and that is what your going to get, treat her like a friend and who knows.

I think friends are what makes life worth living.
Really really sad for people that don't have any.

I think also it takes a lot of courage to live a life well.

But I thought that was what the internet was for.

I was talking about this to some girlfriends the other day... I think this city is an inherently lonely place. When I've lived other places such as NYC, SF and Vegas, people are really friendly and outgoing and oh meet new people all the time. Here everyone just kind of keeps to themselves. Even men don't talk to me when I go out here. It's just a very strange and isolating culture.

I know that if it was not for a few close friend I made through the last 3o yrs.and a few great friends I made in the last 10 yrs.. I would be living on the street right now.
I still could end up there at any time.. because friends.can only do so much..and I did not expect as .much as they allready have done for me.

I have to be thank full I pick my friends well or that they picked me..
Through better times I did my best to help where I could..and ask for help.when I could use some.

The present thing is that it girls I meet from this business and saw through the yrs that are my closest friends.. ones that I never had in my earlier life. I can talk to them about things you would not be able to with others ...I can get a hug when I need it or give a hug when I see they need it...

Saying that ..I still have to say I feel removed from most people by a barrier. .. I never been to sure of what it is exactly. . . an emotional numbing. .or fear of intamicy. ...It could just be depression.

Hi Cami,

I think that guys are probably afraid that if they come across as "friendly" that they might be considered as hitting on you. And women are probably just threatened by you gorgous looks.

I moved here from the Maritimes (east coast of Canada) and was very outgoing when I first arrived. Maritimers are some of the most friendly and out going people you will ever meet. Over time I have been "trained" to be less out going by the stares I received from people who clearly thought I was strange for trying to strike up a convesation with a stranger. And now years later and in my 50s, the younger ladies probably think I'm just a dirty old man as well as being strange if I try to strike up a conversation. In actual fact, I am a dirty old man, but that doesn't mean I can't have an innocent converstation with a pretty young lady - well mostly innocent

I hope I meet you you some time in "a random moment" and I will try my best to be friendly without being creepy

Vancouver is a pretty unfriendly city . Case in point , been going to yoga class pretty regularly the last few years . I see a lot of the same people over and over . The vast majority avoid eye contact let alone engage anyone in conversation . I'm not talking about turning it into a pick up joint . Just some pleasantries . How are you? Nice day . Tough class ! I am continually amazed how closed off people are in Vancouver . I DO try to engage in some chat , but it's hard always being the one to get the ball rolling . There are a few nice people there but most won't even acknowledge you're there. , even if you step aside , so they can pass in a narrow hallway .

I grew up in Vancouver, so I was somewhat blinded to the perceived unfriendliness of the city until people started talking about it, which is only sometime in the last 10-15 years. I know it existed before though because celebrities have always loved Vancouver exactly because they were left alone. It is an interesting phenomena because as we all know, the majority of the population are transplants from other parts of the country and other parts of the world. So maybe its something about a city full of strangers.

Personally, I already have established cliques and most often the new people I do meet - beyond a hello - are through work or are friends of friends. I also have met a lot of people through organized sports activities.

I do try to make Vancouver slightly more stranger friendly by initiating and returning greetings and helping people who seem lost or disoriented. I also engage with street people, their social isolation has always pissed me off.
