Baggage claim.
I admire women who consider themselves independent, self starters, you know...been through it and done that attitude.
Now there are some men who may think women such as this would threaten them, challenge them in a uncomfortable way, challenge their manhood in a relationship. And they would be wrong.
Because these are the women who will truly define what it means to be a partner in a relationship.
We are all independent and self starters to a degree. What is unique and set us apart is how we got here and how much baggage did we bring?
And more baggage does not necessarily mean a negative but just the opposite...thanks.

the age of innocence
I wanted to share with you the early stages of love between a man 65 and a woman 44. That in itself is not so interesting or unique. What is interesting is the man going through it and the transformation which took place. I will call him Ron for the purpose of this. Ron is often tired, often looking for energy, and often looking for a reason to laugh each night. The man is ex-law enforcement and presently security at a resort. He has a twin brother who was also ex law. and also works security here also. Both of them had a small role, playing policeman, in the movie "The Truman Show"(go take a peek at the movie). Both are so identical that, to this day (5 years) I need to pay close attention to tell them apart. Ron's brother has almost the same identical moods and mannerisms that he does.
One day working the late shift, and trying to get enough courage, he goes to the front desk makes small talk to the desk lady and then asks her if she would like to go to a movie with him. She said yes. Two or maybe three weeks go by, and I see Ron in the pastry kitchen leaning on a table doing push ups. Next time I see him, he is at the front desk, leaning on the counter, acting like he is going to do a push-up, but only going halfway, and all the while talking to his new girlfriend. Both laughing and he shuffling his feet, now and t
The interesting thing is his brother began acquiring an upbeat attitude...and no he was not sleeping with her brothers girlfriend. So just for fun, I asked Ron's brother if he felt aroused certain nights of the week...he said no (was I disappointed, there goes my theory).
And just tonight, I am talking with Ron at the security room(he just got in, ready to begin his shift). As I am talking with him, he begins splashing "Brut cologne" all over his face and his hands, back of his neck... so forth. I said to him, "what the hell are you doing"! He says she likes the smell of Brut. I said, looking down "you missed a spot", and he says smiling, she'll find it! I excused myself and went back to my station.
I've never seen a man of 60 plus years and showing it, be transformed 40 years, mentally and some cases physically because of falling in love. Truly he found his youth and his age of innocence.

For any other name, "player"!
So now and then, I come across someone describing an individual by their actions, their words, and their looks as "player". "Avoid them at all costs".
(Hopefully, I did not infringe on this topic from another, if so, I apologize).
So I believe that we are all players to a degree and I don't mean in just a sexual sense. I think the very process of establishing contacts for whatever purpose is initially playing. The player in a sexual sense is searching individuals that he or she believes are one with their thinking. And sometimes even may attempt to convert others to their type of thinking lol. I probably would not mind for someone to try to convert me, but I doubt that I will find religion for it lol.
But being a man, you never know .
I think we need a new category under "seeking" , that would be P-L-A-Y-E-R...player. This would provide sufficient warning for us all.
Finally, please forgive me if I have made light of this topic and have angered some of you who may have been hurt from a experience from someone. that was not my attention.
My thoughts are only about placing "labels" on people deserved or not.
How many men do you think, as an example, would raise their hands when they read on a profile "no players....keep moving".
And as God is my witness, I am not a player .

She almost ate the whole thing!
A guy came in to my workplace and asks the chef to place a 3 ct. diamond ring inside an freshly shucked oyster so he can propose.
The couple walks in, the guy orders a dozen raw ones and a bottle of Riesling.
We delicately place the ring inside then it is strategically placed on the tray so she will grab it first.
Things are going pretty well for them at their dining table. They're laughing and it looks like they are playing footsie, while all of us are watching in the background.
She reaches for a spoon and slaps what seems to be a half a jar cocktail sauce on top of the special oyster. The guys mouth drops and before he can say "UGH" she sucks it in. Her face contorts, she drools the contents into her hand, looks at the guy, and the guy proposes. They kiss, cocktail sauce smeared on their lips and us clapping in the background...whew!
