And I feel like I have to disagree with one point that everyone keeps making. Everyone keeps saying "Nobody knows you, nobody gives a shit" but then words later says things about making life long friends. So, it's it more accurate to say "Nobody that matters gives a shit"? Or something along those lines. Because at some point, you start knowing them but they still don't give a shit because they are good people and love their friends how they are. Just a semantics thing that's been bugging me - especially since I've lost so much momentum post surgery and have to keep telling myself something!!
If I may. . U are taking it a lil too literal. 'Nobody knows you.....' is a Mecca fundamental- state of mind. We have been 16 times. . . So of course ppl know us. Many others travel with groups of friends and family to TTR. The saying is a sorta reminder that at TTR, you can unwind, relax, be yourself, unlike real life where you have to wear different hats and multi-task instantly. Temptation's motto helps to restore balance to your well-being.
Sillyleo, my idea of the concept of "Nobody know you nobody gives a shit" Is basically for the first few times your there. We had that concept before we became part of this awesome site, we would go and party our asses off.. but after many trips and meeting awesome people on CC ... well then your right people do know you... and many give a shit...LOL And of course there are some that don't.. I guess the whole idea is get over yourself, your hangups, your insecurities, don't worry about what other people think of you.. party like a rock star.. Because really when its your first time at TTR.. Nobody does know you!!!
Like I said, it's a semantics argument I understand and agree with the sentiment I tend to think like a lawyer lol
Totally agree with this sentiment. I try and do things I would never think of doing at home, or rarely. Last April I swam naked in the sports pool. I think Ali would've bet a mortgage payment she'd never see that lol. I dance like an old white guy with two left feet so I don't usually dance at home although I know Ali loves it. I try and drag her to the dance floor often while we're there. I never thought I'd do Lingerie night, ever, but in October I did (although I do admit to changing soon after the Nice Shoes bit). As I age I'm coming to realize I'll not be held hostage by my own insecurities and that anyone judging me is more insecure about themselves than anything. In a little over 2 weeks time we'll be there and while I don't really have anything planned, as I've learned that setting expectations can be the quickest road to disappointment, I do know there will be opportunities for me to experince new things. It's completely up to me to be brave enough to say yes This zen moment has been brought to you by Andrew lol
That is exactly how I feel, I never dance at home in fear of scaring everyone out of the bar or club, yet I always seem to dance and drag people out to dance at Temptations... I have the body of a middle aged man that has feared exercise and has been truly faithful to beer and chicken wings for decades lol yet somehow I end up wearing a woman thongs on the Boobs Cruise or a bra on the beach in acticipation of a blindfolded canadian with a plunger... The greatest thing about Temptations is it doesnt matter if your rich or poor or fat or skinny, its all in your personality and how you interact with the people your with.... Thats what makes it so addicting to go, you feel like an upgraded version of you for your entire trip, No matter who you are at home lol P.S. I still owe a few people some apologies for that thong wearing thing, I know it was soon after lunch and must not have sat well in most stomachs haha
