LS Lessons I've Learned

Lol

Crazy thank you for the compliment.

(We now return you back to Tramp’s thread, now in progress.)

Indeed.

Tramp

(Credit goes to the Mr and Mrs Jones from We Gotta Thing at least for the terminology)

To go along with Tramps last axiom-

In all LS couples there is an “accelerator” and a “brake” pedal. The job of the accelerator is to push through the calculated decisions, the brake is there to stop the foolish ones. There must be a stoichiometric relationship between both to be successful.

Lesson No. 18:

The difference between a calculated risk and a foolish gamble is your ability to cover the cost should you lose.

Avoid every calculated risk and you'll lead an unrewarding life, both in the LS and elswhere.

Make a habit of taking foolish gambles and you'll soon be faced with a cost you can not bear.

Give thought to the choices. You'll get to make them often, but you only get to make each once.

Tramp

The last type of ant of which you speak is usually easy to spot.

It's the rather noticeable one that differs much in appearance to the standard ants. It's EXTREMELY furry, and it's always seen alone.

Very persistent, and you can even stomp at it with seemingly no effect at all. It just keeps coming back without so much as a scratch.

Some call it a Cow Ant, some say it's a Nevada Buster Beetle. The truth is though, it's no ant at all....but a wingless wasp.

Tramp

Single Males are the ants of the LS world. There are many and some can be pests. The majority donthe dirty work that no one wants to admit. They work the land, churning it, keeping it fertile. Those are welcome. Some take on the role of soldiers protecting the bees that are Unicorns. They too are welcome. Some just want to crash in on the picnic and ruin the fun, those are the ones that need to be done away with. Many couples go to extreme measures to keep them out, others welcome them into their gardens. There needs to be a balance. Regardless some respect must be given to them, but this respect must be earned.

Well stated, but don't forget the WannaBeavers as well.

Tramp

Unicorns are the bees of the LS, as they move around through the LS they help to bring in new swingers. In turn it is our responsibility to give them a safe environment so they can move around freely. We need to show them love and respect, or otherwise they will sting back and we will never get any sweetness from them.

Lesson No. 17:

The more someone combines verbose, acronymic, and/or cliche' discriptions of themselves with selective (or no) photos which reveal little or nothing...the more you can be absolutely certain that both are intended to deceive.

This is a solid fact. Govern yourself accordingly.

Tramp

Lesson No. 16:

This is the Matrix. What you thought you found does not really exist. Nothing here in the Matrix is quite the same as it apears, or is said to appear.

If there is one certainty to be constant in the Matrix, it's the absolute fact that no certainties exist.

This relates well to Lesson No. 17, as does Fokkers' comment.

Tramp

One couple’s HWP, is another’s not.

Lesson No. 15:

The entire world appears yellow to a man with juandice eyes.

Once a fella becomes convinced of a thing, he'll see it everywhere he looks. Evidence that the thing doesn't exist will have little impact at that point.

Tramp

I agree.

Tramp

As non-judgmental as people claim to be, the more judgmental they can be.

Lesson No. 15,

"Their minds are made up, so don't confuse them with facts"

Lesson No. 14:

Folks who have absolutely nothing to say are often the most intent on saying it...often.

Tramp

Lesson No. 13:

Women need a reason to have sex, men only need an opportunity.

I learned that lesson long before Dr Phil made it popular. One would think that most men would also have discovered this truth by, say, the age of 25...you'd be wrong.

Tramp

Lesson No. 12:

If you're a fella who's obsessed with only playing with Like-Minded folks, you're likely best suited for playin' with yourself.

This right here is not a Tramp oppinion, it's a scientific fact.

Tramp

Lesson No. 11:

Girls just want to have fun.

Find the fella who is having the most fun, and the girls won't be far away...that's who they're looking for too.

Tramp

ShePlays, you're very kind to say so.

Tramp

Lesson No. 10:

(A companion to Lesson No. 9)

To keep your neighbor's unwanted water in their yard and out of yours, you don't have to make the journey impossible...just inconvenient.

Tramp

Lesson No. 9:

Folks are like water. Without a motivating force, both will follow the path of least resistence. It's for this reason we have crooked rivers and crooked peeps.

Tramp

L&T ... I certainly enjoyed your thoughts, observations and comments.

Lesson No. 8:

If a prospect can't develop an original thought or two with endless time on their hands to complete a profile, just imagine how they'll do at your Meet & Greet when they're working without a net.

If you at least choose a place where the food and service are great, your efforts won't be a total waste.
