I definitely don't think it's always intentional though. It's often the fact that different venues have different limitations and opportunities.
No one could know Lynx offers to give people rides, even if it's hours away in rush hour city traffic, because it's not part of posting on a worldwide forum discussion.
I only know these things about him because I've known him for years across several platforms.
Years ago someone also made the comment that Lynx is just nice to me because I'm a girl.
Sorry, but nope. I've seen him offer all the same things to both men and women. We were once in a chat where he sent anyone who asked 2 loaves of his infamous sourdough bread, all at his own expense, when postage alone was $24 a pop -- and that's not even starting on counting the cost of supplies.
At least 3 men in that group came back and raved about that bread. He does the same with phones and laptops too, sending them to people he thinks can use them.
And he's helped just many men as women with tech support. If they were still on the site, I'm sure they would testify to this.
Smaller chats allow people to get to know each other better and build enough trust over the years to share addresses so we can send each other things.
And I don't think people realize that because Lynx and I both have very strong personalities, we have just as fierce of arguments as well.
We often see things differently and disagree on which approach to take, but somehow, when the smoke clears, we still manage to be friends.
It has to be the grace of God.

I'm not really like that. The good and the bad you see here you will also see in the real world.
You have your own POVs of different people here, like Lynx, Live4, etc. I have my own opinions based on my interactions with the members here as well, which have been much different from yours in at least some cases.
And, that's fine. Because I like or don't like someone, I don't expect everyone to take my side. My friend married a woman I cannot stand. But, he obviously has the opposite feelings about her. I like people others cannot stand. That's just the way it goes.

I often find myself in situations where I'm friends with people separately because they're not friends or don't want to be with each other, and I understand that.
Sometimes I'm the one doing the avoiding or being avoided. 😎😁
We're definitely not all going to click with the same people.
That's part of why I like this site. There are always a lot of people to get to know, and if you don't get along with some, God bless 'em because there's always new people right around the corner (or in this case, right around the page.) 🙂

I thought Gojira was one of those old timey tuataras
anyway I guess we all have to choose an animal, being on CC singles is sometimes like feeding time at the zoo. At least we arent all fighting over the same food as we all have different tastes.
Funny I listened to a radio broadcast (podcast? its not on a pod just online) yesterday and it was talking about raising girls, and the intervieweee was mentioning the 5 love langauges and trying to rattle them off. She named four and then couldnt remember the fifth.
So its become part of everyones lexicon, especially when you hear parents always talk about 'quality time' as if they dont live with their children, ... well lots of parents DONT live with their children or only see them once a week if at all. How can they love them when they arent even around? They cite 'quality time'.

I used to send people online snail mail when it wasnt too expensive, like cards and things thougn never sent anyone bread. lol
Remember stamps. It seems such a shame now that all we get in the mail are generic bills and junk mail if you dont put a sign on your letterbox.
I'd write letters and they all would be 'love letters' cos I used to sign my name love from...
it was just something I did, but then when I 'grew up' it became more appropriate to sign off 'yours faithfully' or the professional way which is to say 'kind regards'.
I also learned some people just dont like anything personal. In the world they train people to be professional amd clinical in all dealings with people, and lose that personal touch.
Well to me everyone is personal, and like it all not people do take things personally, its how we relate to each other as INDIVIDUALS. I think some people make the mistake of pigeon holing people and then. blanketing them with prejudices instead of getring to know them personally. eg if you are female, you get treated in a certain way because you are female, or you have certain look or even if you are a christian. I think you should just love people for who they are inside not what they merely reperesent to you.

As we (myself and Seoul) rightly predicted, you're one in the wild, who has to go get what you need or want and not one in captivity (like the ones in the zoo or wildlife park) that would have to wait for what they need or want to be brought to them. So I'm thinking it's too bad for you and not me because you simply can not get what you want without moving out of your comfort zone. Hope it all makes sense to you now.
