People Suck, and Other Musings

OK, I'll admit it... I'm annoyed. Lately, Brenda and I are having a run of frustrating experiences related to our sexual adventures. Why is it so hard to find sexually adventurous people who are secure, positive-thinking individuals who know how to have and be friends? Time to vent!!!

So, coming as a shock to absolutely no-one, Lesli spun off into raving lunatic-land shortly after the shower escapade from a recent post. Oh well, Brenda had some fun, but there doesn't seem to be any prospect for maintaining even the more emotionally distant relationship Brenda had been attempting.

Next, remember Stacy, the nail tech trainer, who was very flirtatious with Brenda? Brenda finally was able to get her phone number/Facebook contact info to Stacy, providing a very generalized invitation to perhaps get together sometime for a cup of coffee. Suddenly, all the flirting and compliments were nowhere to be found. Now, we heard from elsewhere that there was some life drama that she was encountering, so perhaps this was what was happening; or possibly the flirting seemed like fun until there was a hint that it might go further. In any event, the prospect of getting to know Stacy better has also drifted off the radar screen.

On another front, we had been corresponding a bit back and forth on a swinger website with the woman of a couple who had contacted us through the site. She was an acknowledged newbie to swinging, but seemed down to earth and friendly. We exchanged occasional messages over the swinger's service, and then chatted a couple of time over YIM. She was fairly open and excited about the prospect of being with a woman for the first time (bonus!). However, we started to suspect her husband was not fully in the loop, and she didn't respond very forthrightly when this topic was pursued. Then the next day, all of a sudden, we were removed from the contacts lists we had used to communicate. After a little pursuing, she allowed that she had run across some flaky people, and decided she just wasn't up for dealing with all the "bullshit"... at which point she had apparently disappeared without a word. Hmm... flaky people, huh?

So, yeah, we're a little frustrated that it appears to be so hard to find people with some basic relationship skills who are like-minded, and yeah, I'm whining about it :) No worries; I'll get over it, and yes, I know patience is a virtue, and blah, blah, blah... but damn, it can be so much better if people can just get their stuff together! All of this crap has been dragging Brenda down (especially the Lesli stuff), which has a negative affect on her self-image and libido. To be fair, we are getting along just fine with Kevin and Steph, including some continuing flirtation especially between Brenda and Kevin (more about that in a later post), and we are going to head to a swing club with them for a Halloween party this weekend. Although we've had some preliminary discussions about expectations, including who is open to what activities, we're not 100% sure of how their comfort level will play out. At any rate, Brenda and I are definitely planning on bringing a positive attitude, because we are ready to have some fun!

Veronica and I have experienced similar frustrations from time to time. Just remember the phrase "this too shall pass"!

Good luck!
