oh more than you think, but, as I love to debate, (because it brings out views of both sides and thats healthy me thinks) it only 'looks like we have opposing views ..

you said something in a thread a few days ago, maybe this one

about physical contact being a need (while others argued its a 'want'). I wanted (but not needed

) to post and cheer then too.
Becuase there are two very basic communication needs in humans. Verbal and Physical. While women 'tend' to be more verbal and men tend to be more physical, its not an absolute. I laugh when women say ... "all men want is sex", or when men say, "all she ever wants to do is talk". And they repeat this stupid mantra with bitterness in their heart! Its been going on since mankind began and yet very few have used this power for good grasshopper. Its how we feel loved! Complaining about it is counter-productive.
This is perhaps the most valueable information in relationships, yet people treat it like its some curse. Use it for good, as you would, knowing that your partner needs a simple phone call, or anything else to feel ackowledged and loved.
but be on the watch I may choose the opposing view (on any subject) just to see what thats like too...
