Buying a car?

We have separated, split up, got our affairs in order and have decided to buy a new car.....

But what to get? Do women and men have the same criteria when choosing a car?


Plenty of models, makes, colors. High engine specs, good mileage per gallon. Do we want something that suits out needs, or something that reflects our personality.

Do we go for the little red sports car, the big sensible car, or the small economical car?

Do we decide on a model 1st or start looking through the motor ads. Can we pay cash or do we need a loan?

What are the maintenance costs - after buying the car can we afford to run it?

In the end do we just set out with our cash and buy the best possible regardless of age, make and color.


Are the same processes at work when we are looking for a new partner?

You are single
You join dating site.
So many ladies/men to choose from.

Are you looking for someone half your age?
Do you go for intellect and security over a "hot" body?

Is there any point in cyber-dating someone a thousand miles away if you can't afford to travel?
Is Hot in bed more important than someone who can't cook / put up a shelf?

Is color, race, religion important?
What about dependable and reliability?

In the end after we have whittled down the long, long, list of possibilities do we settle for average intelligence, average looks, someone we are comfortable with, low maintenance but dependable?

Or, because we are too fussy, too choosy..........THERE'S NO-ONE LEFT !!!

Hi Lachi - why?

Are you to fussy?...........don't drop your standards for any man - you deserve the best.

You know I want Tarzan...the wild onegrin

@Z,lachihug teddybear
Hi Z,
Good to see you.

Yes another important factor: Do you prefer the city or country model. Both are good in their own element.. orolling on the floor laughing
@Elwave hug

You said"All males from Africa are potential Tarzans!"...so,its hard to find the best tarzangrin grin grin wink thumbs up

Another overtime on the blogslaugh laugh sleep lachi,El,Z, wave wave teddybear
Hi guys - swans are not hatched yet.

There is one very small potential problem I never mentioned. You can choose a car - but will he / she choose you. confused

z
Put it this way, compatibility without chemistry is a sureball for failure same is true for chemistry null of compatibility. Should be a combination of both. Same with choosing a car, does the car make u or do you make the car (look and feel good).. Generally, as complex beings we end up having what we don't want. We have a set of preconceived qualifications for a partner but always ( In most cases) end up with the wrong one. dunno
The question is not about choosing but making do with what we can have at the moment and enjoying it.confused peace wave
I can`t drive,so I dont have a car.But maybe most drivers they take a little time to get used to driving a new car.I guess its the same thing,when you meet someone you should take a little bit time,to know of each other if there is a chemistry and compatibility.Only the wildlife take too much time to get used to....dunno dunno
@ Zandaar : "because we are too fussy, too choosy..........THERE'S NO-ONE LEFT !!!"


Sounds familiar. I heard many times people said this. laugh
Z, I am no car expert and I guess would not be also for a partner.

I do believe someone is there for me. hug
Hi Shay wave

He is out there - somewhere.

If this was a fishing blog, you would be catch of the day !!

z hug
That's what friends are for, always telling the truth. wink blushing

Say hello to S for me Z. hug
I'm not fussy mumbling liar Choosy maybe or simply I misread directions sometimes dunno

You know I can't even drive a car (but maybe I can drive the car's driver crazy laugh) blushing

I have in my mind about a guy I want to get to know better to but it's not always that easy as I may have interest on someone but he doesn't have interest on me or the other way around blues

I prefer the intellect one instead of his body as an intellect mind usually lasts longer than the body roll eyes

As for the traveling part, I thought of searching for the one while traveling if this dating site doesn't work for me. Though challenge but who knows...que sera, sera.

If he can't cook (neither can I laugh - hey I can change the lightbulb on my own by climbing ladders, will that count for guys? batting), that would be OK. We can always take a cooking class together, it may be fun daydream

I don't really bother about the difference of race and religion, so does my mom...but (yes there was this 'but' from her)...but she did expect me to find someone with same religion so it could be a dilemma someday sigh

I conclude that maybe someone in my mind now is someone who is humble, smart, physically and mentally fit. Not yet meeting him though wine
* Sorry Summer, I confused your nick with Shay, the above comment was at you! hug
I thought you're quite lucky ladies to have a small size for your feet, summer and Jana bouquet Now, I feel like a big foot crying (39 or 40...errr 7 or 8 dunno )

Oh summer, yes...I understand that it's not easy for you to find a size of 35 here comfort hug
Lachi, it's not too big. Most of the younger women here are taller and with bigger size shoes. My daughter is taller than me and N 39. But my son is 188 cm and N 47 which is bit tough too, and he s choosy about shoes laugh
Thanks for hearing from you, Jana bouquet That's quite a relief yay Uhm, sorry to hear about your son, hope he still can find his shoe size.
Hehe...its fine Jana. Good to see you. wave hug
Great to see you too sweet ladies, Lachi and Shay hug bouquet

Lachi, searching for shoes for him is like going to an expedition in the jungle for a rare animal laugh wink
Jana, that sounds like hunting idea I think us ladies have more passion (or patience? uh oh) in hunting for shoes giggle thumbs up hole

Speaking of shoes that fit...remind me of this song grin Enjoy ladies bouquet
