REAL LIFE: SEX, LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP OBSERVATIONS PART 2

Just a continuation of my previous note on observations while producing Real Life: Sex, Love and Relationships. I forgot to mention a few things before.

Let me first say I have partners in the other major cities across the country that send me video interviews and research on dating/relationship topics and issues relative to their particular area of the country. One thing for certain is geography has no bearing on character.

Let’s talk about… us. Don’t you just love to share your thoughts and opinions on subjects you’re so knowledgeable and passionate about? Subjects that you feel substantiate your viewpoints. Do you get a rush or simply feel so good because it appears you’re right and everyone just loves everything you have to say? But yet you’re quiet on equally important subjects.

My point is, it’s interesting to see the boisterous folks become so quiet on certain issues and topics. Why? You have no knowledge about the particular issue? Does it hit close to home? Or are you a contributor to the issue?

One particular topic I bring up but gets absolutely no discussion is STD’s and HIV. Why is everyone so quiet? Is it difficult to face what’s real out there? If it’s the lack of knowledge about said diseases, isn’t it a good idea to discuss, knowledge is power after all… right? True story… a couple years ago I interviewed a guy on-camera and his thoughts were the “HIV/AIDS issue is just a scare tactic. It isn’t as bad as they want you to believe. It’s 2008, the sexual revolution is wide open and people just love enjoying each other and everyone else at the same time… that’s what life is all about.” Well that same guy I interviewed is HIV Positive now. He never thought it could happen to him.

What’s always baffling is the thought process of just because someone looks wonderful, looks healthy means there’s no way they could have anything. Remember what looks good to you isn’t always good for you. Getting off topic here, I just believe if anything… discussion is a good thing. If someone reading this can tell me why you would prefer not to discuss these disease related issues I would appreciate it. Just curious to know.

Let’s talk about perception. Again, these are just observations. It’s always interesting when you actually know people and observe how other people perceive them as a result of how they present themselves. I know quite a few people (meaning I know their background, their character, beliefs, agenda and so on). But because of the way they present themselves other people believe they can walk on water. How can you fall in love with a profile? How can you truly fall in love with words and pictures from a profile? You gotta spend time together… yes TIME! Remember, you can portray yourself to be anyone you want online. You may only want to give what you want people to know. Are you exactly the same when pictures aren’t being taken or cameras rolling? Who knows! Again, just because someone is in front of the cameras, on stage and on the covers doesn’t mean they can handle their business at home.

This will be a continuous update because there are always observations and updates. In the meantime I need some folk’s on-camera to interview about some various topics and issues. If you’re interested please let me know. I’d appreciate it.

Thanks you,
