I don't think adolescents should socialize with adults. I know kids, they are not on the same level as adults.

I'll agree to disagree or argue it in a different thread. Right now we have weddings to plan.

I apologize for derailing your thread. It is a terrible habit of mine. I treat threads online like in person conversations and let them change in an organic sort of way. In other words, I'm not very structured.

Damaged? Lolol.. Thanks.. but even joking I wouldn't pair myself with anyone..

Maybe what you see as damaged another person sees as character. I have found in my experience, that the most fascinating people have not had smooth sailing through life.

Have you ever watched Antiques Roadshow? There are twin appraisers surnamed Keno. They're known as the Keno brothers. Their specialty is American Federal furniture. They get ecstatic over "damage". Spilled ink in a desk drawer? Character. Worm holes? Character. Worn wood where generations have pulled open a drawer? Character. These "flaws" make the furniture valuable.

Then, some people refinish furniture, covering up all these so called flaws, taking away the character of the pieces. Sometimes, this diminshes the value by tens of thousands of dollars. There is a reason why a used 200 year old piece of furniture is worth far more than a pristine piece from 2017. The antique has history, damage, flaws, character.

Somebody will recognize your damage as added value.

I'm guessing Wild is going to crash all the weddings with Russian polka music.

Yeah, I definitely see him as a polka kinda guy.

I'm thinking... He'll be the Singles Forum Russian Polk Hero.

I do so appreciate you... I really have issues.. I was exposed to things for far too long and my ability to be regular in some social settings is shot for now.. particularly when men say certain things.. That's a wrap because I don't intend to take over all this matrimony taken place here with my stories:D

...But then again, even if I was in the correct age group, I think I would be too dead inside. :/

Zi....

If it helps you any...

We are ALL broken in some shape or form... I have my moments as well...
but it's not WHO we are... We are children of the Lord who saved us all... and died on the cross for Our sins..

I'm thinking of writing another blog about my "other" broken pieces... cause it's who makes us who we are today. :)

sorry y'all... didn't mean to take it that route :eek:
