Guns, Medals, Shot Down In A Blaze of Glory.

Guns, Medals, Shot Down In A Blaze of Glory. This is weird for me... I'm in a writer's slump. I can't think of anything I want to write about except maybe stuff that's somewhat political in nature and would probably start an argument and cause a lot of hurt feelings as angry posts get flung back and forth... not what I imagined for this blog, and not a place I want to go. I'm trying to just write about ANYTHING, hoping something will get kick-started, so... here goes. Tomorrow, I'm going to a shooting range with my Army buddy. He got a new gun he wants to show off, and I need to practice up on my aim. Since I'm getting older and my eyesight isn't getting any better, I need the extra practice if I'm going to qualify this year. That, and my friend is feeling a little upset because he got passed over for a medal, and I'm going to work with him to get one written up for him. Oh! I got a medal! I received an Army Achievement Medal for all the work I did during my Annual Training. I worked my happy ass off during those two weeks making sure everything got set up and running smoothly, and the fact that I had to teach several CA's how to do their jobs didn't hurt, either. It was nice to be noticed and rewarded for all that work.  A few more points towards my next promotion is always nice.I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to send messages to the local ladies on this website. I had a system that kinda worked for me when I was just trying to connect for FWB's, but since I've started looking for an actual relationship... I'm a bit stumped. Since the VAST majority of the women on here don't talk about themselves at all on their profiles (they mostly just talk about sex and what they want from men), I have no idea what to write. I have a system of writing on other dating websites, but that system doesn't really feel right here. I've had more than one woman send me a message on here telling me I'm crazy to look for something real on A.F.F., that I'm barking up the wrong tree or that I'm just trying to play on a woman's emotions in order to get her into bed and I'm a pig for playing with her emotions like that... sigh... Honestly, I'm a little lost as to what I should do on A.F.F. anymore. Every connection I make falls apart, and women think I'm nuts looking for love in all the wrong places. Damn sure I can't think of a good way to cold-message the women in my area... hell, if they didn't respond to me before, why would they respond now just because I've shifted gears? Maybe that's one of the reasons I'm in a writing slump... because I'm getting discouraged again. A guy can only hear NO so many times before he just doesn't want to hear it anymore. I'm getting gun shy about even writing to anyone anymore... no one responds anyway, and all that writing isn't exactly easy. People don't realize that individual, specific, and personalized messages take time, effort, and a lot of reading her profile to come up with stuff that sounds witty, charming, and sincere. After a while, with zero results, you get to the point where you don't want to go through the bother anymore. See, you women have no idea about this, because it's all on the guy's side on this website. Maybe you've done a bit of fishing here, but you certainly have no need to do any at all with the number of guys throwing themselves at you. They might all be a bunch of losers that you ignore or shoot down, but I'd much rather be shooting down a huge number of women pounding down my door than trying time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again to get someone's notice... with no response, no interest, and no fun. At least you get the ego boost. Mine just gets stomped on. A lot. See, this isn't good. I'm going to start looking desperate again, and I'm going to attract some weird woman with serious issues hoping I'll solve them for her, and I'll cling to her because I'm lonely as hell and even a broken toy is something to play with... ARGH! What the fuck is wrong with me??? I can't start down this road again, and yet here I am, finding myself at the head of the road, staring into the distance and wishing for just that one special woman to come along and break me out of this fucked up pattern. Okay, I'm going to stop writing. This was a bad idea to just write and see what popped into mind. If anyone has any ideas for contacting the women on here for the purposes of actual, genuine dating intentions, I'm all ears... I'm stumped. Oh, I seem to be stymied on my weight-loss, too... life just seems to be stalling me on all fronts lately. Where's my cat? I need to cuddle.  .

Don't be silly, BJ. You're right, and I'm really in the wrong mood to be writing. I probably shouldn't have even posted tonight, except I just felt like I needed to post SOMETHING. Sigh... wrong answer again. You are, of course, right. It's not any easier being on the receiving end. It sucks on both sides, I guess. I just don't have any experience in being on the receiving end, and to me it seems like a better setup than killing yourself for nothing. I guess the grass is always greener... I'm sorry if I upset anyone with this post. I might edit out the last couple of paragraphs, since reading back on it, I'm just being a party pooper and feeling sorry for myself. Ugh... I hate when I feel like this. . Your Friendly Neighborhood King of the Jungle, The Lion.

Lion, I share your frustration, more than you can imagine. Although, of course, I'm approaching from the female side of the equation. But I remember a while back I made an experiment and emailed 5 men per day, who were in my geographic area, who I thought I might want to get to know as more than just a roll in the hay. I did it for, I think, a week. It might have been longer. I didn't get responses from more than three, total. I didn't get any who said "thanks but no thanks". Out of the three that responded, two were just all about the sex right out of the gate. The remaining one and I progressed to personal email, but on THAT first email, he showed that he really just wanted a fuck. I don't look anymore. I certainly don't look here. In person, actual meeting someone the old fashioned way. That's it. You can get a feel for the chemistry and it is all out in the open. Have you tried meet up dotcom? 2022... it HAS be better, right?!
