“COMING SOON…Online Attractions… Featuring all of the beautiful men and women searching for LOVE

Filed under:Lifestyle + More — posted on May 28, 2008 @ 8:08 pm

In my attempts to find the love of my life, I knew that they
were not going to be found in the town where I lived, so I took
to the Internet. My first experience was the result of a
television commercial. They looked so darn happy, you couldn’t
help but wonder if this could also work for you, so I tried it.
Put it this way, finding my “Mr. Right” may have ended up
costing me a small fortune!

Then one day I was working on my computer and along came an
annoying pop-up. Normally, I delete them as fast as they pop-up,
but this one caught my eye. It was for another dating site. Once
inside the site, I was amazed at all of the handsome black men
and a few white ones too, who were looking for the perfect black
woman.

Because of how I am, my desire for monogamy, this is who I was
looking for, someone who had the same desire as me. What I
quickly found out, on my first night on the site is that most
men don’t even bother to read your profile they just look at
your picture and click! Thanks for the compliment, I think?
However, when a man takes the time to read your profile, he is
going a little deeper than just the physical attraction and
actually learns a little about you before sending you a message.

At that time my profile was a little friendlier, more inviting.
What I found was that I spent more time eliminating those who
did not fit the bill until I thought I had found the one.
However I have a hard time giving all of my attention and
affection to someone who is not returning the favor. And because
of who I am, it is not in my nature to be intimate with more
than one person at a time. To me, intimacy definitely includes
more than just sex. It involves allowing a person to really get
to know who you are, what your likes and dislikes are, what your
loves and fears are, trusting to the point of vulnerability. So
because I was not getting what I needed in return for what I was
giving, I said audios!

I decided to give this site another go. This time I spelled out
exactly what I expected in my profile. It was probably more
intimidating to some. I think that they could tell that I was
very serious about what I am saying and if they are all about
the game, they don’t even bother to click. That’s good! As I
say, that way I don’t have to bother cutting away the fat to get
to the meat. Or as one gentleman said, “the apples at the top of
the tree are more appealing but the ones on the ground are
easier to get.” I am still the same person, but this time I am
realizing that it’s really all about the game. The object of the
game is to talk with whomever you want, as many as you want, as
much as you want, as intimately as you want, all at the same
time, and finally, if you choose to do so, you can select the
one who has won you over from all of your many admirers.
However, don’t forget that while you are being pursued by him,
he is being pursued by others and he is also pursuing others at
the same time he is pursuing you. It’s like one big orgy!

For this very reason, I don’t think that online dating is right
for me. But let’s turn that around. Online dating is what you
make it. You can play by your own rules. As for me, I really
don’t care what the others do; I will stick to my molasses
method of one person at a time. The problem is finding that one
who would be willing to give up the buffet to see what the steak
taste like. I’m sure that it will take me longer this way to
find the one who is right for me, but after all when I do, it
will have been well worth the timefor both of us!

Are Your Beliefs Spoiling Your Life?

Copyright 2006 Christopher Green

Throughout your life, you have formed a set of values and meanings to make sense of the world you live in. These values and meanings constitute your beliefs and your beliefs are what you hold to be true about life. Your beliefs are at the core of your existence and you wouldn’t be the person you are now without them.

Beliefs are very important. The only reason you act and behave the way you do is because of your beliefs. For example, people who believe in God will act in a way conducive with their belief - praying or going to church for example. If you don’t believe in a God, it is very unlikely you’ll pray to one.

This pattern follows in most areas of our lives and here are three very powerful beliefs that can hurt you and spoil your quality of life. They are beliefs common to stress, anxiety and depression and they underpin these illnesses. Do you hold any or all of the following beliefs:

1. I’m helpless and hopeless. I can’t do anything, things are totally beyond my control and there’s no point in trying to do anything about it because nothing I do ever works. This is a very powerful and limiting belief. If you believe that you are helpless, then you will act accordingly because you won’t take action to change things. Why would you if you strongly believe it is a hopeless cause? Helplessness is learned and it is also flawed. Many people are blind to the power they possess and a belief in helplessness keeps them in the dark. But just as helplessness is learned, it can be unlearned.

2. Nobody loves me. I’m an effort to be with, I bore people and I never have anything interesting to say. It’s much better if I stay alone and don’t inflict myself on others and spoil their happiness. OK, it was very hard for me to write the last few lines because they’re exactly what someone I loved dearly said to me on many occasions when we were due to socialize with friends. Hearing such words cuts you to ribbons, my word it is such a destructive belief. If you believe this, you will act accordingly by isolating yourself from others. You’ll find excuses so you don’t have to go out and when you do, you will sit in silence and try to melt into the background. And as you won’t be engaging with others, this belief will be re-enforced. Another aspect: people who believe this will put themselves down when others question them. So, someone says “you’re quiet tonight, are you OK?” Will get a “well, that’s me, I haven’t really got anything interesting to say so I’ll keep quiet and not bore anyone.” Honestly, I’ve seen this happen many times. Even when they’ve been loved, even when they’ve had family and friends who loved them and enjoyed their company, this belief blinded them to all of it. Can you see how the belief comes first no matter what is happening in reality? In other words, it is THE BELIEF causing the harm, not others. Not family, not friends, but the belief and if you strongly believe this, nothing will convince you otherwise until you start to question and test this belief.

3. Finally, perhaps the most limiting belief of all. Be honest with me here when I ask: Do you believe it is wrong to be blissfully happy? The obvious immediate reaction is “yes, of course!”. But stop for a second because this is important. Very few people truly believe this. They see others struggle in life and believe that it is wrong to be happy while others suffer. Feeling happy makes them feel guilty. Also, you may hold a deep-seated belief that there has to be suffering in life, that somehow, suffering brings enlightenment. If you are happy, then you’re selfish and this is wrong because the happiness of others comes before yours and you must sacrifice your happiness for the greater good. But you have a right enjoy a happy life. There is no value in suffering and there is nothing to feel guilty about in being happy. Believing otherwise will mean you will act in a way that spoils happiness and continually robs it from you.

Please examine the beliefs you hold. Question their validity and if they’re making you stressed, anxious or depressed, then please understand they can be unlearned and replaced with better ones.

Until next time.
