Mmm, lunch.

Hung with Skippy and ralmathon and headed over to the teeny deli place for lunch. Much fun. Skippy analyzed Darkside.

Evidently when Neighbor brings up the topic of sex to Darkside, Darkside starts talking about gaming.

Skippy wanted to know what in the world I saw in Darkside. Skippy thinks that Darkside is a few years young for his age. I mentioned the brains, beauty, sense of humor, et cetera... there were a few sick jokes cracked.

It's fun to listen to the guys talk about gaming. It's fun to hear military stories. It's just fun to hang with friends. Skippy's gonna be my friend! Yay!

Age differences

[wiredferret.livejournal.com]

I think that beauty, brains, and funny are almost entirely independent of the skills needed to start or maintain successful romantic relationships. Perhaps that is part of Skippy's point?

I don't mean so much 'age differences', as 'life-place differences'. It's really damn difficult to sustain a relationship across wide goal-gaps.

life-place

Darkside and I are in approximately the same life-place, with gaps in socialization. I'm a few more steps towards out of the nest, in that my parents don't have oversight over my day-to-day routine, but he's got more experience points with regard to work and school. But we're fairly close.

Darkside and Votania, on the other hand, have vastly different life-places. You and votania have more similarities in your life-places than you and I, or she and I, though you're very different from each other.

Skippy just didn't see anything in Darkside that would be appealing to anyone of any interested gender, especially a female non-RPG-er. He does have points attractive to me, the details of which were news to Skippy, though he should not have been that surprised. It was part of his point, though, the idea that Darkside and women as a whole don't have much to say to each other outside of a school setting. Darkside's not looking. Women, as a whole, aren't looking at him.

I really should type up some of my stories from when I was in the AF.

Yes, you should.
