I don´t like giving love any names, like "the first" "the last" "the one" and especially not "the true or real love". It´s just love. It´s that simple and need no more words, if you ask me.

I do place distinctions on affections- there are different grades & different emotional states. And I know other people who have experienced similar situations and this status seems to be relatively common. My first true partner and I were very much in love- and as for me, for the first time-..... and being less experienced at the time I felt things that are unlikely to be felt again :-/

Before I was afraid of losing freedom too... I was like, what the hell I´m gonna do with a man, what to talk about, I wanna live my life with no restrictions... it´s ironic that I have never felt such a freedom as I do now. Absolutely no jealousy, absolutely no "you must do this and can´t do this". I have no reason to change (not saing "I will love him forever" - no one knows what future brings, I just focus on what is NOW and TODAY), or find someone else it´s been 3,5 years, not much, I know, but still a nice number, if you ask me

Well, I am a person who desires a high degree of independence and emotional freedom. My "communal" or relationship desires are probably less intense than most. I am perfectly content without doing things and love-making with the same significant other 4 times a week! In my relationships, I have always felt the burden of having to "link" myself, emotionally and in habit with partners or, to a much lesser extent, close friends. This has always entailed benefits and costs to me but my preferences lean towards psychological freedom

I am very careful now about associations. I see getting into deep love as being a risk taking high reward activity.

For me, my life got another meaning with this love thing. My depressions dissapeared (I stopped painting too ), my self-assurance got much higher, my whole mind and body calmed down and I found myself in a weird happy state that suddenly... I would not want to change my place with anyone in the whole world. For the first time I was able to say, that I love my life and really enjoy it, every freakin´day of it. Oh hell, I wish it would be like this forever

I have found something... meaningfull. I feel like a whole person now Wish it to last as long as it can. If you asked me what I find the most beautiful thing in life, I would say it is waking up next to the fl. I guess I´m THAT romantic, shit. That feeling is just crazy... amazing.

BUT this is just me people are different. With different things with different meanings to them.

I know Jennka, you seem to be very happy, and I wish that this continues to work out for you

I am pleased with myself, as well!

What's with Sasha Pivovarova and the perpetual huge bags underneath her eyes? Jessica Stam is like that too..

Baron, have you ever read Kenshin? Amazing manga indeed

http://www.anymanga.com/rurouni-kenshin/001/001/

Have you heard of "Vagabond"?

The story is a fictionalized life of the swordsman "Miyamoto Musashi". This might be your thing. I haven't read it, but have flipped through the volumes. The art is, in my view, much, much better than standard Japanese fare. Of course, they couldn't resist making the Japanese people look like white people

Musashi wrote "Book of Five Rings", which is the focused on mental tactics in single combat. I read several passages a long time ago- it seems to be useful in sports and martial arts.

Never heard about it, but the drawings look amazing!

lack of sleep?

Unlikely to be felt again... don´t believe that. Life is full of surprise. You can never say "I will never feel this again" or "I will never love anyone so deeply again" because, frankly, I call that plain romantic balast that some people say because they saw it in movie or read in a book. It´s only about you and who you might meet in future, and when you meet that person, you might feel love you thought was forgotten or torn.

No, love does not need any additions. It´s just love. It happens. It feels bad and it feels great at the same time. You don´t have to think about her - just to feel her. Ironically, some people are SO full of themselves, they will actually never experience such a feeling. It takes a courage to love someone and a lot of giving, too. But it is definitely worth it.

I only differ kinds of love - like love to your children, to your mother, to your hubby or to your dog those are similar, yet different feelings of course. Or to your best friend and, of course, it´s something else to be in love with and to love someone. With years, love shifts toward friendship and respect - and a wonderful silence of understanding that only those two can fancy.

You seem to think too much about it. Maybe you could try actually stop thinking so much. Relax. Don´t take it seriously. Let it just be, when it happens

Thank you, I hope for that too. And for you to be pleased whatever you do

I believe Sasha 'always' had them, some people have bags under their eyes even if they are well rested.

I don't know about Jessica because I don't follow her career from the very beginning, but from what I've heard, she likes to party A LOT. So yeah, I guess lack of sleep also contributes to that

What do you think, Baron? Should I make a bid or 'buy it now'?

As 'Item specifics' go - that takes some beating! Although perhaps unduly harsh on Alison Moyet:

Alison Moyet - Alf. She sounds a bit like Alf, too. and she has a face like a potato. A sh*t potato

Welcome back Baron

Epic avi by the way

Baron!

I've been so naughty...ignoring you like this!

He's gone :shock: and.... panic attack! no seriously

Behottie for you

Welcome back Baron

Epic avi by the way

And thank you for noticing my absence. It was only 10 days - but maybe I should have had a long 5-week build-up of farewells, explanations and laments a 'la Limey!

Yuliana Dementyeva is from the Ukraine. Hana Soukupova is Czech. They look like sisters!

Hey, Baron , which would you rather date if you had to choose between Lady Gaga and Macy Gray? I heard some guys talking about it and one said Gaga because she was at least somewhat fit and the other said Macy because she had the weed . But its just a date I guess and doesn't have to go beyond that. I guess sometimes people can be good company when you give them a chance and sit and talk for awhile .

Joe, what kind of question is that?!

Baron, welcome back your kingdom has been starving :persuazn:

aaaand I would love to go out with Joe, if you ask me

^Yes, what happened there? That wasn't in the script at all! Thankfully, being in Spain and offline I missed it all. Pearl of a 'mark' though...

Indeed! I don't want to be gloating but

OMFG that was such an awesome and unexpected win

Unbelievable vertical leap NicNat has got though.. off 2 steps, straight up, unassisted on Jack Darling's (191cm, if you don't mind!) shoulders

I have one fine line underneath both of my eyes So sad...

I did not mention it, but I did wonder if these women were known to use cocaine :evil: I like Sasha's look a lot (except for the bags).., and her bags are really..extreme..she carries them in the majority of her modeling photos. Given how competitive modeling is- I am surprised to see that it has not been a significant detriment to her!

I was referring to "First Love"- which is basically "Naive love". That which is new can be especially strange and exciting for the first time I have a lot of capacity for loving and the ability of diving deep into someone else's thoughts if I want to-... that's the easy part for me!

I've been in love with three women, Jennka. I haven't been very successful with any of the three. I can only manage it well for an intense couple of months, and then I get very negligent & become heavily diverted once my interest wanes. I'm a loving boyfriend and absolutely loyal... but not a good one. Love requires the kind of long term permanent attention that I am often not willing to give. I've grown weary of hurting other people and hurting myself.

You seem to think too much about it. Maybe you could try actually stop thinking so much. Relax. Don´t take it seriously. Let it just be, when it happens

It's just what I've learned about myself through experience, Jennka. Falling into love has always seriously damaged the quality of my work & career, autodidactism, trading & Long term goals. I have to give up one to have the other, and I'm not willing to make that trade off. I'm the type of person that does only a handful of things at any one time in life and I tend to devote considerable energy, focus, and depth to each.

And given my family background and heath....I will probably have a life expectancy of 90-100 years, Jennka. Getting married @ 40 or 50? I wonder if that would be nicer!?

It's been almost a week and I miss him, but we talk every day so that's making it a little easier. I still have serious anxiety over the whole thing, but it's slowly getting better.

Chris your son? ^^

And Hi baron

Well, as it is not tFS and you're insisting on talking about models' drug use...

I've read it, at different sources, that Jessica likes to party and is no stranger to cocaine. Maybe that's why her nose got so thin But of course, I can't say how true these stories are... though I've read numerous times about Vodianova doing coke too so idk. It may be true but it may not be as well...

lol no Chris isn't my son. I don't have kids.... don't want them >.<
