Friends With Benefits

Laughable.

Both?
In real, you wanna know? Its not a problem to say it. But he wanted a baby and I didnt. I am too into my career and didnt wanna raise a baby at teh same time. Anyway, in real, I havent had too much luck in the baby field. And I'm not sure if I ever wanna raise a baby on my own. Beside he was way to old to be a father. Poor little sod would lose her /his dad by time they were in 20s. Not fair.
So I said no. And I showered him with gifts. Honest.
Even much more than that.
Sometimes I look before I leap.

why???? Your money better then his? A flower picked out of a field is a much nicer gift then diamond earrings... Or don't you get that. If you ever had a child, the most priceless gifts would be the ones they made or found growing along the street...

You have totally put this man down.

The real man? No. He has had a good friendship with me and my bed as well. (If only for a while bed-wise)
and as I say above, the money affords "happy". What would he need a flower from a field for? Let that makes seeds to scatter. Diamonds dont fade.
When peopel say money doesnt buy happiness, tell that lie to the peopel who dont have any to quieten their despair.
Money buys plenty of happiness - its just what kind of happiness are you purchasing?

I wasn't talking about what you can do for him, you have pretty much stated that from day one. I was talking about what he could do for you, apparently that part doesn't mean much to you or you would have said so a very long time ago.

Believe me, diamonds do fade.

He taught me much and I went to many events with him that gave me insight and my temperament. I dont really ask of a person what they can do for me. Its more what do they want from me? I prefer that since a man really cant offer me financial secuirty which I have already, or emotional coz I am basically me as I am gonna be. Or children which I dont want. They cant offer me shelter coz I have that. Or a career cos my real job is everythign I can dream of. But I like to learn intelelctually. He was good for that.

I bet many women are liek me. Many.

Check their "three Cs"
Sapphires are my stones anyway.

How insulting

I know all about them Jig, I have plenty.....

Jig is always interesting to read she challenges norms and makes people uncomfortable. She has never made me angry nor offended me in any way. I look at her posts as her opinions and not judgments on me or others who might not share them.

.d

Then you know, despite however you protest, that I speak teh truth. However it sounds to others.
I wont hyprocrite myself or protest falsely.

QFT

I don't brag about what I have, like you do Jig. Big difference.

Hardly. Barely so.

Where to start ..I am glad you can see a child is not for you but have you not contradicted yourself here or have I misread it "he wanted a baby and I didnt" "I havent had too much luck in the baby field" the second implies you have tried.

Life is not a given to its length I lost both my parents when i was in my 20s my children lost their father the eldest was 20 , then 13 and 11. He was not an old man only in his 40s.
The comment about the flower well I agree the best flowers i have been given were not the 2 bunches of Orchids given to me by i man i was seeing as lovely as they were but the hand picked weeds my son and daughter picked from the neighbours yard. They sat with pride in a vase on the table. Its the small things that give happiness that lingers Jig.

You may imply money buys happiness but it seems to me you have not had true happiness for that is priceless. For me holding each of my children when they were born, holding my grandson seeing his tiny hand holding mine seeing his first smiles that cant be bought all your money could not give me anything that means more than the moments I have had. And those moments cant be replaced or repeated your diamonds can .
Just remember Jig your not always going to be attractive to those older men for at 27/29 or what ever you are your fast getting to being less than cute

I have very little expectation of living beyond a certain life span in reality - I have "flatlined" two times (only last year I died and was ressucitated) so I dont think aging is really gonna be my problem (and I dont wanna sound cheeky here).
And, hey, I've met plenty of cute 60 year old men - so I dont see its gonna be impiossible to be a cute 60 year old woman with some young studs hanging around waiting to please every one of my whims.

Well wont you be in for a few surprises and i noticed Jig you did not comment on what i said about true happiness

to me, plenty could be one or even none. much different...

I suspect a 55 to 65 year old woman, who once worked as a cleaning lady or secretary to a wealthy young woman, who dealt with quiet fame or infamy....roleplaying the young woman in SL and carrying it through to forum.

Enough knowledge and understanding of the basics, to pull it off to a degree....but just enough fallacies and hypocrisies for large holes and gaps in establishing the genuine persona.....which is probably why it is so infuriating for some to watch, and try to relate to....and so frustrating to try to establish a one-to-one exchange involving understanding with reason and considerations.

You can hardly reason or have a productive exchange when someone is roleplaying a persona that is not true to their core being, or at the opposite end of the spectrum. To engage in a mutual exchange of empathy or understanding, without judgment, that is equal between both parties....would be risky for someone roleplaying beyond inworld SL, and carrying it into here, where the majority of people contribute as themselves, and are not roleplaying.

Nothing wrong with it. This venue is designed for that, and there are no rules that you cannot carry it into a forum. And not worth becoming infuriated over, and not worth letting digs or insults or judgments effect us. We're responding to a persona that does not exist in Real.

Money buys food and shelter in this society this is what those in need need money for you must not have dealt with many ppl who have very little Jig for you will find they have happiness in the simple things like a hug from a loved one no diamond not gift. I will sayit money does not buy happiness if you wish to think i ma lying fine but as i have said before i will put the gifts made for me by my children as they were growing over any diamonds you have they can be replaced those things i have never can.
Recently a friend of the family died in his teens and one thing we have is a video of him playing in a band we gave a copy to his parents and they watch it often as do we. Again Jig not money not diamonds but a simple 5 min video has bough a little happiness to these parents at a time they need some. You think a hand full of money could of done that ?

Wow....just....wow.

The Times Square street preachers just called. They would like their soapboxes back.

Does it count as a Godwin if you know you've Godwinned? I'm fairly sure a deliberate Godwin doesn't count as a genuine Godwin.

I used to like Jig's posts a long time ago, when she seemed bright, lively, enthusiastic and misunderstood. The trouble is, I think she's become all too understood, and many people aren't liking what they're realising.

She reminds me in many ways of the character Jane, in Coupling (series one of the proper UK version, not that reheated tripe the US bodged together). Me, me, mememe, me. Meeeeeeeeeee.

I think the fact what could have been an interesting discussion started by her, has been turned into a thread (yet again) all about her, does nothing to counter this argument.

*Whips off her pants and waves them in salute.

LOL.

That's better. Something didn't feel quite right, for some reason, before . . .
