Attraction

[Clinamenic]

Really this thread serves to A) document my efforts to better appreciate other people, to whatever avail, and B) provide insight into the mind of a person who feels the need to document such efforts to better appreciate other people.

(say something American)

don’t be in the reticent lane of life, it can all be over in a heartbeat and while it’s good to weigh up moving ahead or rebuffing, you the man who still gotta do it

Move!

 

[Clinamenic]

Who are you most attracted to on this board Clin

A matchmaking of avatars, interesting. Consciousness unfettered by bodies. I assume I can't say myself, or at least this version of myself.

Maybe luka
Maybe you
Maybe polystyle
Maybe linebaugh
Maybe constant escape (Fine, doesn't count)
Maybe poetix

I seriously love that song. stadium anthems are a certain level of genius, deserve a thread of their own.

@suspended any suggestions for things to do around NYU? Heading down there from the Bronx now.

Meeting with a friend - a quaint environmentalist and chef-in-training - and her sister, and maybe our other friend - a "Natural Man" and a Trumper.

Try Gray Dog if you want a nice place to work, I alternate espresso and beer ther, slightly pricey but nice. Wash Square Park farmers market, Milk Bar. HousingWorks bookshop is a classic, there's a scene from Girls there, great used selection. Strand books as well, and there's a great vintage book shop across the street. Taboonette if you like Mediterranean. Really amazing chai and Indian in Greenwich area, on McDougall... Saigon Shack? Thelewa is a hole in wall with amazing chai Quantum Leap has the best vegan dish in town, a seitan skewer

I'm here until the 28th, perhaps later, with a potential detour to Canada for a few days but that is still up in the air. What would some convenient times/areas be for you?

Yeah I agree, I just think this could be an interesting chain of thought to revisit later. I am much more comfortable with a conceptual, cerebral basis to things, which isn't to say that they need to stick around or be enforced inauthentically.

Yeah, but she's a friend primarily and having met yesterday I don't think I really even do have a substantial sexual attraction to her.

 

[Clinamenic]

And as I said elsewhere, I'm naturally not a very sexual person, in fact it largely seems like a default setting I'd like to be able to switch on and off. And at certain heights of power, sexuality strikes me as a liability, between #MeToo and peadophilic incrimination schemes.

That said, I stand by this thread and the motivation therefor, insofar as it is about non-sexual attraction between presences, being attracted to other people in non-sexual yet nonetheless potentially intimate ways.

 

[Clinamenic]

Yeah, but she's a friend primarily and having met yesterday I don't think I really even do have a substantial sexual attraction to her.

A sort of trend I've detected, a feeling of perversity in the prospects of sexual engagement with people my age. Courting mortals, if you will. Finding an older - in essence or in existence - person, a more gnostic one, may constitute an exception, however.

craner acts all cool but Im fairly sure this comment will devastate him

 

[linebaugh]

What are you doing in NYC for so long?

 

[Clinamenic]

Visiting family. I'm staying with my aunt in Riverdale, Bronx, and I also spent a night in Breezy Point at my great uncle's bungalow, a familial center of gravity for over 90 years.
