Can i just ask, has anybody met a long term girlfriend/boyfriend while under the influence at a club? I often go out with that expectation, but once the drugs kick in i just lose all focus on the task at hand. I took my friend to subs last Friday telling him he might have a good chance, but as we were both sitting there smacked out at 4am he said "this is the worst place to try and pick up" and i couldn't agree with him more. I mean PLUR is all good and well and you meet heaps of people, but i dunno...

I think Plaz is a slient member of that club, so we are allowed, by association, to post what we did.

Donny dont that is so true, everyone is either too smacked out, or gurning and dancing to bother picking up, ive met all great friends at raves clubs, one boyfriend, but that wasnt going to work
i guess pubs, rsl clubs and bars are the places to pick up, maybe work, tafe, uni etc.
Getting picked up or picking up is the last thing i think about when im out in that way.

I've got dibs on the new title for this one... :D
I think its pretty shitty people who have previously "seen" or "been with" other people on this board and stab them in the back by posting shit on this thread, quite knowing that the other party will read this thread. More often than not the posts are totally one sided and it pisses me off.
The End.
Lol...sorry, i just had to say it!
And onto my own personal love life situations, well, nothing much has changed. The crush i had on a bluelighter, well they have a girlfriend now so that wipes them off the list (which is great cuz im the kind of person who immediately stops thinking of them in that way when i know they are taken, weird, good, yay).
And the guy from uni, well... lets just wait and see with that one! hehe... have been toooold he thinks im cute and well, im going to wait till filming finishes before anything is said, yay! Please cross fingers! Its been tooooooo lonnnnnnngggggggg!!!!!!

Good things usually don't come to those who are obviously pathetically eager for them to happen.

OKay, I've read a lot of posts from people who are just outta relationships, and then consensus is, being single rocks.
But for the rest of us who have been single for a while ( 2 years for me ), being single is a drag after a while. It hasn't got me totally depressed but my opinion is that everyone needs someone, and this is more true for some than others.
But its whatever makes you happy, personally I would really like to have someone at the minute, if you are happy being single, stay single, but after a while, I bet you will want someone as well.

You rock plaz, you always have the best things to say I think in this area you and i think very alike.
To the guy above, i agree, i have only been single a few months and that is fine, but two years might be a bit too much...
I am still cool being single... i feel so great just being able to do and be what i want. However, i have become such a shy girl in some ways compared to what i used to be and even if i liked a boy i dont think i could approach them... then again in other areas i am not so shy. Its suiting me fine being single at the moment though. I have lost a bit of faith in males lately.

How would you feel if you were single for all except one month of your life?
...Yeah, me too...
...And yeah, you're right there plaz, but also, if you're eager, and even if its not obvious that you're eager (and without being pathetic), you're still quite likely to not get what you want...
It's been said often, and it seems to be true, you find someone when you least expect it, when you stop looking...
I wonder if eagerness produces pheromones?

That's an interesting point tarsy... someone correct me if I'm wrong, but we've gone 13 parts in this series and I don't think anyone's mentioned pheromones yet!
It'd be a good way to start off a new thread I think, cos it's different and it's probably an interesting topic that even plaz would aprove of...
This thread is closed - I'll start the new one shortly, so nobody go jumping the gun. If you must, open up notepad and type a reply there...

Bluelight Singles Part XIV - "Sex Smells"
-- Previous thread --
Tarsy ended the last thread with the following line: "I wonder if eagerness produces pheromones?" I thought it seemed like a good way to start off the new singles thread - something different for a change and an actual angle for discussion (since Plazma obviously didn't approve of the way the last one was going )...
So, what's a pheromone?

pher·o·mone
n.
A chemical secreted by an animal, especially an insect, that influences the behavior or development of others of the same species, often functioning as an attractant of the opposite sex.Does this mean that some people are born to be single because they don't have (or have lower levels of) pheromones? Do we all have pheromones, and some people just not know how to use them? What actually triggers them in the first place? Confidence? Other hormones? Apparently even some of the more expensive perfumes and colognes actually contain synthetic pheromones (although my source on this is the fact that I remember seeing it on TV, so I'll have to check the accuracy)...
I'm sure the internet will hold the answers anyway. So rather than just logging on to bluelight, opening the singles thread, and saying "i've been single for (insert length of time here), and I'm really starting to (get used to it/hate it). I really (want/don't want) another (boy/girl)friend" etc etc - how about finding some interesting articles, facts, figures, anything that will spice up this series a bit. And of course if you're after advice or just need to vent, you're still free to do that too. Just make sure you preface a rant with a warning, so plaz doesn't have to waste any of his precious time reading your particular post...
Here's hoping for one of the more well thought out editions of the singles saga (ie: no bullshit please)...
Over to you guys!!! :D

God damnit I see Catch22's funky ass Flesh-light pictures and a week later you all hit 6 pages? wtf is with that.
The pheromonie thingies. This is a consistent theory I've held in regards to a friend of mine that exhibits no external signs that he should score so effortlessly and constantly - yet he does! Huzzah! lol
Donny Dont: Met my current partner whilst standing in the line at Hard Kandy (shudder) and obviously out under the influence. We hit 13 months on the 8th just past. Though she wasnt a regular 'raver' if you will. Also, I share your 'totally not interested in scoring' when I'm out - never have and I doubt I ever will start to 'focus' on it. Though I've met some really great people (girls in the specific example were talking about) and can easily see that after meeting em whilst I was covered in sweat, talc and just oozing plur - speaking to them later in the week they would make great partner material.
So I guess my handy-hint is, take a note book with you so you can record some details of the 10 to 20 new numbers and names you will have in your phone come sunrise, instead of just trying to remember if 'Alan' was short for 'Alana'
Plazma: I ph34r that you have to run yourself through a carwash every *single* day just to try and remove the cloud of bullshit that obviously orbits around your existence. No offence or anything, but jesus christ man - lay off.
w00t ?

Kiss my ass Gen. Don't be so half assed if you're going to insult me, don't fucking apologise after telling me I'm full of shit, just mean it.
Anyway, look I've been through so many drugfucked relationships its a constant source of hilarity to me as to how I've managed to survive reasonably mentally intact. But the key is, having a sense of humour about everything. The second you start taking it seriously it all goes pear shaped.

nah...I said in the last thread I'm over it. And I am. totally over it.
I'm still Queen of this thread (a fact people have overlooked in tars and dante's battle over the kingship) but I'm not posting cause I want to think about something else for a while.

Ok to answer some of Pleo’s questions and hopefully stop this thread from sliding back into the same old BS that the last 13 parts have been…
How often have you turned down a sexual partner because he just doesn’t smell right? How often do you reach for your mans shirt when he’s away and just inhaling his scent sends a rush of warmth? Do certain smells trigger a rush of memory that never fails to turn you on? Ever had a partner that you can’t explain your attraction to other than he smells right? There is no question that scent has a large influence on your life.
Scientists have long known that odours and subliminal scents - sex attractants or pheromones - influence how animals develop, mate, bond, and nurture their offspring. Recently, scientists have discovered that human animals are no exception. Odours can accelerate puberty, control women's menstrual cycles, and even influence sexual orientation. They help us tell lovers and family members from strangers and let mothers and infants bond. Odours affect how often we have sex, and with whom. They influence how the brain develops, what we remember, and how we learn.
Many women’s perfumes and men’s scents contain synthetic pheromones, claiming to turn you into an instant man/chick-magnet. Do they work? Well if you listen to the companies hawking them – yes. The popular allure of human pheromones - particularly the notion that invisible, odourless chemicals may be involved in sexual attraction - is being exploited by a number of makers of perfumes, colognes, and related products.
The pig pheromone androstenone (also known as "boar taint"), and a related steroid, androstenol, which are also found in human sweat, are the alleged active ingredients in several products peddled to men as aphrodisiacs. Despite a complete lack of scientific evidence that these compounds would attract anyone other than a female pig in heat, advertisements for these products abound with personal testimonials about the beneficial effects of these products on their users' love (and sex) lives.
Many pheromone researchers are sceptical of claims that human pheromones could have even such effects, let alone act as aphrodisiacs. They argue that human behaviour is complex: It is rarely controlled by a single signal, and it often depends on factors such as social context and past experience.
So what is a pheromone?
One problem that scientists studying human and other pheromones come across is that researchers do not agree on what, exactly, qualifies a substance to be called a pheromone. Most agree on a basic definition: chemicals released by one individual of a species that, when detected by another individual of the same species, elicit a specific behavioural or physiological response.
But some researchers also specify that the response to a pheromone must be unconscious; others, that a pheromone must provide an evolutionary advantage both to the sender and to the receiver; and still others, that the response must be innate and should not require specific learning. Others still, define pheromones more broadly - as all chemicals involved in communication between members of the same species.
How do pheromones work?
Pheromones have a lot in common with odorants (the chemicals that are detected as odours). In fact, the distinction between odorants and pheromones can be blurry, and some researchers classify pheromones as a type of odour. Pheromones, like odorants, are detected by special receptor neurons in the nose or on an insect's antennae. The difference is in the output: When processed by the brain, odorant signals result in the sensation of smell, whereas pheromone signals trigger a characteristic behavioural or physiological response.

From the mouth of babes: "Anyway, look I've been through so many drugfucked relationships its a constant source of hilarity to me"
Aint this sort of like shooting yourself in the foot before you even start? I mean surely if youve narrowed it down to having a handy-dandy 'tag' for your relationship cycle (eg Drugfucked), it'd be a major hint to take a step back before you either get into another one, or at least bother to figure out what the hell is going wrong?
It amazes me when people say 'I am what I am, if they dont like it they can fuck off' as if its some kind of honour badge in regards to having/not having a partner. Working your arse off for something you want doesnt hurt...
Generally I find its these people that are terribly alone and hide behind a thoroughly constructed attitude / emotional barricade. Problem is, wether they are willing to admit it or not, as a human being companionship is an integral part of our lives.
NB: Personal experiences / opinion, I'm not laying down the gospel here
