good thread Damon.
i admire the Knotty and Whispers "blaze of glory" approach, I really do, but I don't think that's how i'll go out. I imagine I would quit if I change emotionally or spiritually, I could see myself abstaining more. I have in the past. Especially if I find a chick that I really appreciate, then I'd have to let this stuff go.
but if I do leave, I won't make an announcement, i'll just post less. I might still come on here to say hi or offer opinions, but I'd just have to avoid any review or discussion of 19 year old with a rock hard ass.
I also think that it's much much harder for guys to walk away from this than ladies. Ladies can walk away like they are leaving a department store to go to another one, whereas guys it's more of a lifelong thing. FOr us, it's like those horror movies where they kill the monster, and everyone happily walks away, then you hear the eerie music as the monster's eye opens up...similar to that.
So that's why if I do walk away, I won't make a big scene.
