"The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity." - Ulysses S. Grant
We're well into the sixth year of the weekend-engagement topic concept and it's really cool to see a few people come back every week and join in. If you'd like to get involved with the #weekend-engagement topics as hosted in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES community then read below, and I hope you all have a great weekend.
A reminder, the tag to use is
weekend-engagementand you'll need to follow the rules I've set out because I'm inflexible with stuff like that.

Not sure about whining or entitled, but have been called an asshole before:
I think we all have. Called a few others assholes too. 😬
Lmao 😂
Friendship topics, interesting...
You are always the asshole for someone though... Nice water color, green not very common
It's a pretty nice beach, not too far from my house and a really cool place to go for a stroll, coffee or ice cream.
I hope you are doing some swims this summer! (shark free possibly)
Mmn, did try to participate last week and now I found out that I made an error. I didn't post it in the weekend engagement community, I only used the tag.
Bugger.
Let's see if one of the topics do give me some inspiration. Because I am bad in keeping relationships (except with my wife 😀). I easily loose contact because I am more the type of guy who lives today and not so much in the past.
Ah yes, that'll do it. The post must be in this community and be tagged right, then I'll see it. Have another crack this week if you have time and the inclination.
You try through various topics to encourage the community to share their sexual experiences, and so this week, because when friends with benefits are mentioned, it is clear that there is some sex 😀
I don't have one, maybe someone who has can write a few lines 🙂
Sex is a normal thing I guess and it is something that elicits a reaction a lot of the time so it sometimes makes for an interesting topic.
I am very close to this theme of friendship in many ways, many experiences in that sense. I would be happy to participate. I appreciate a friend who rejoices in my happiness and shares it, I have been surrounded by friends who gave me a pat on the back in the hard times and envy in the good times.
Have a great weekend!
I figured you may like the topics this week.
have a great weekend.
I love them, I could write many but many posts!!!!! Have a great weekend, good night!
Hello Galen!!! So the week is all about friendship and I'm here too to give my entry as I've obviously been friends for more than a decade.... It's a friendship bond of 13 years and still together.
Have a happy weekend

Cheers, I'll take a look when I have a little time.
Ok sure 😀
Ah, friendship! So many stories to tell! How much it evolved over time, how strange it is!
Strange indeed at times for sure.
I think that first one is probably subjective. I'd like to think I am a good friend, but my friends might think otherwise! Number three is also tough, we are kind of in the middle of that right now and the back and forth is almost worse than if it were just a clean break.
Friendship can be complicated and easy, depends I guess, and so many people do it at suboptimal levels these days. We live in a very superficial society and that's probably to blame for the way people are.
Yeah, it has been rough for both my wife and I. There's actually a big long story, but it's not really for a public blockchain.
I figured as much, same here; this is why I choose to have a very small circle and to assume the worst in people until they prove otherwise. Safer that way, and less risky. So many assholes out there.
Indeed!
From my earlier days I found that women who say they are OK with friends with benefits arrangement are really secretly hoping for something more...
It's not something that's been a thing for me, by choice. I'm more of a relationship guy I guess.
I imagine that friends with benefits can work well if both people are clear and direct about what they want in a relationship. otherwise it could get messy. But I suppose that the same is truth for any relationship...
Probably the same for any relationships but the friends with benefits thing isn't my style so not something I put a lot of thought into.
If I call you a friend, then I'm going all out for you. But please, don't hurt me cos you never know what I can do. Maybe that's when I might turn an asshole.
Have a great weekend.
Have a good weekend also.
A friendship- centred weekend huh?
I sure am ready to dive in 😉
Cool.
