I lived in CT while studying and have no friends from those days. Dunno what it is but the people there are 'different', prefer dbn&jhb people as they are easier to get on with or make friends with.

And it's not like ct is a new thing thing, all the folks family are there and every june & december school holiday we would go to ct, i'm not fond of the family either :D

To be fussy after you have just put yourself out on a limb :)
and
Just out of interest
What is your current career ?
What are your educational qualifications ?
What is your IQ ?
What are your hobbies ?

Yea I know

It IS all about the mind

OK
IF you take you have to give
Hint:
Do a search on the persons handle to see ALL their posts -- in whatever forum
Good way to form an initial impression

Aled Jones – Walking In The Air Lyrics

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep

And walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air

How difficult it must be to be cursed by not having an imagination ( or any creativity ) !

Here is the original

[video=youtube;av0QpbAXHq8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av0QpbAXHq8[/video]

I guess these folk must have also used up all the "drugs"

PS ;
Singer is a young lad
PSS;
I have done a fair bit of being in many different aircraft in many different conditions and a few "exits" so I identify with the meme
Walking through the air
I am sorry you think it has to do with "drugs"
Try jumping out of a plane -- you may identify ?

Feck that. Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

:D
 
We're busy being socially awkward. Well, that is my story at least.

By day I manage people, by night I am the wallflower. Go figure.

Single dude here.

Deconstructing the dissolution of my most recent relationship has certainly given me a serious case of the moody-introspections...

I find myself in a strange position - I'm 34 and due to some rather silly and short sighted decisions as a teenager and young adult I am not at parity with my peers in terms of the material stuff of life. Which makes it hard to interact and meet people of my age without letting my hangups in that regard intrude.

When I moved to Cape Town nearly three years ago, I arrived friendless, having left all my buddies and family behind in my home city. Fine, so I dealt with this by creating an emotional shell and was reasonably well-adjusted about the situation. But then! I got involved with someone and decided if there was to be any chance of a successful relationship, I knew I needed to peel off this armour and expose my soft bits, which I am not good at doing. Alas, things did not work out (pro-tip: don't date your house-mate, the post-relationship scenario gets complicated!). I've also learned that being too nice can scare the **** out of people (wtf).

As we all know the night is dark and full of terrors, and I am frankly tired of going it alone. I'm just not entirely sure how to go about remedying the situation, the state of my life being what it is.

Like most folk, I come with a bit of baggage - A lifetime of serious clinical depression has warped my self-perspective in a way that has been less than helpful to my development over the years, but I've reached a point now where I've realised that as humans go, I'm more than okay. Which comes as no surprise to those who know me, but man can our unhealthy internal dialogues shape our exterior selves in problematic ways.

So here I am, at the cusp of a new year, a year which will and must be different to the last couple, which have found me floundering and without direction. I'm digging deep for the strength to do this, but we are social animals and I have a profound desire to be surrounded and involved with other awesome human beings. I'm not very adept at the socialising thing, so this is a bit of a challenge (and I'm in Cape Town, apparently the most cliquey city in the known universe).

I've no desire to have kids which narrows the pool somewhat. I'm also entirely non-religious, and while it's not the case that I would not date a religious person, I can't help but suspect this would cause problems, which again narrows the pool further.

Even so, there's surely someone out there! A kind, interesting, rational and empathic human, with an amazing taste in music and literature, and an who understands that our brief flitting of consciousness on this ball of rock floating in the ass-end of one galaxy amongst billions, is both utterly and fundamentally meaningless, yet at the same time the most incredible and profound experience we will ever have.

While I'm rambling, anyone in Cape Town who wants to hang out - Let me know!

I was in the same boat as you, but moved to Auckland, NZ. Not much better here either. I had clinical depression too and PTSD which morphed into me having bipolar 2 for years. I a much better now though after seeing someone, but still have episodes.

I lived in Cape Town and PE for a short while. Cape Town has attractive women, but generally very self absorbed and pretentious. PE is a chess game. No variety either and a major sausage fest. Reminds me of Auckland in a way with no options. I did find CT very cliquey too.

Has any woman participated in this thread for the past few pages? It seems to have degenerated into just a bunch of men sharing war stories, lol
