How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death....




And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.”
Love’s Labour’s Lost.

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”
Hamlet.

Feeling lost, crazy and desperate belongs to a good life as much as optimism, certainty and reason.

The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.?

We are all more intelligent than we are capable, and awareness of the insanity of love has never saved anyone from the disease.


The moment we cry in a film is not when things are sad but when they turn out to be more beautiful than we expected them to be.

gone nuts... yes
gone bonkers ... yez
gone berserk... yes
gone bananas... yes

freaked out....


I am so very lucky to have, in the beginning, crossed paths with you. It took us to this lovely stage in our lives. A point where I feel that with you I can’t wait to create, evolve with you, and face the future with you. In a boy friend..... you are everything I ever will desire. I’m never going to like anything or anyone else. I can guarantee that.



Words may not articulate how much I love you, but my acts will never fail to reflect my love for you. Yesterday, I loved you, love you today, and I will love you until tomorrow is gone!

you

lit a fire inside me. With each passing day, it is a passion that grows. Just when I think that I’m getting used to my love for you, you’re going to do something small and wonderful. Maybe you’re going to make me laugh, or say something so clever it’s going to make me see the world in a different light, and instantly there it’s again, the surge of feeling, of passion, it’s like a wildfire in my soul that comes over me
so easily..

What is Love? Love is a set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs with strong feelings of affection. So, for example, a person might say he or she loves his or her dog, loves freedom, or loves God. The concept of love may become an unimaginable thing and also it may happen to each person in a particular way..

in a simple word...
it is..... just.. Mesmerising


i dont mind be born again
and again... just for this
feelings.


You are my heart, my life, my entire existence.

Must being in love always mean being in pain?

what a pleasureable pain
it is...

Two of my friends....there is one man and one woman....who are both single and enjoy their singlehood and sleep around with many different people. They both share the same meme..."don't cheat."

Both of these two have been with over 30 different partners....and the woman I have heard her say that s*x is just a physical act....and the man has told me he has been already with 3 different women in one night.

...and they are advising people not to cheat by sharing that meme.

...and they say women are complicated!

On one hand male friends complain that some women are just to vague about how they feel and what they want....think they're playing hard to get, no? Or just being evasive......

But then on the other hand, men get mad or flake out when a woman is blatantly honest about what she wants and how she feels....

Well damn....

So which is it?

Is it just me or do men just not see what is right in front of them, regardless of circumstance.

I'd hardly believe it would be a language barrier....or is it

Ive worked on my profile numerous times to make changes to improve my chances of finding my new love but i end up with nothing
Is it because I am on disability?
Is it because I don’t want anymore children?
Is it because i smoke?
What?
Please tell me what I need to do to get noticed
I’ve been on this site for awhile with absolutely no response.

This should be a fun exercise. It is only intended to make each gender better understand each other.


Okay...to better understand each other, name something(s) that men do bad to women...and now vice versa...name something bad that women do to men.


Maybe we can better understand each other's arguments about each other.

A current blog took a tangent and not to get lost, I'm making my own blog on the subject.
"Leaving the toilet seat down"
There, I said it. No arguments when growing up. Respect for my mom, my dad, brother and I had the seat down when we exited the bathroom. Pretty simple... I cannot recall any discussions about it.

I did know a guy who said it wasn't an issue. He never raised the seat to pee!
That may have been a factor is why his marriage only lasted a few years.

Isn't it unique the many varied profiles of women who are 65 or older who have one foot on a banana peel and the other on the threshold to a nursing home looking for a useless wanker who is equally or darn near on the same threshold that they will suggest age is just a number or age is not so important. Yet, in my opinion it sounds like a tesimony they are afraid of growing old and bitter and alone. Very sad indeed. To consider most are divorced by the time they reach 40 to 50
They dont want another old useless wanker that they kicked to curb and a guy doesnt want an angry miserable woman who will just spend more time picking out the faults or traits they dont like in a new man either unless perhaps he has a good estate planned.
If you are a poor broken down old fool living on social security from month to month going nowhere what chance does anyone have in entertaining a woman at any level?
Yes we all want a second chance at love and a love that doesnt live 4000 to 12000 miles away
We can all say if we find a personality we can put up with then age is not a factor but having to be middle aged or younger and being compatible would be an ideal hope and predominate reason why we are here or on any other social dating site. Yet, perhaps to be realistic, many should be grateful or happy if we can find anyone suitable. Yet, perhaps its not the search or the chase or catch that matters anymore. Perhaps its OK that people can come here just to exchange banter and not worry about if anyone suits us or is the ideal age or emotional maturity as they say if the shoe fits wear it. Everyone has their reasons why they are here. It is not for me to judge but I find it unique and sad to see my generation is divorced picky and overly critical of the quality of friends they want. Perhaps I am equally guilty of that as well. The problem is our expectations we place upon ourselves and others. After awhile we learn that we sabotage our efforts to fail in finding anyone because of our unrealistic expectations. Something to ponder in your travels here.

This is for married guys who want to meet a side lady friend

We've heard it in song (Tina Turner), and we've had cause to ask the same question (of ourselves, and of others) even if only in our thoughts. We've also heard that "love is not enough", and may have experienced it, too. So why can't many women admit that love doesn't have to be the reason for pursuing/being in a relationship.

I've been on here since February and have chatted with quite a few men, most of who seemed to think that I was interested in 'marriage', either because of the mere fact that I'm on here or because of the word "companion" that heads my profile. But, does dating always have to be about finding 'love' and getting 'married'? That would be IDEAL, but I don't ascribe to it being the ideal for everyone. It certainly isn't the ideal for me (although it definitely was when I was much much younger).

Life experiences and age has brought reason/wisdom, mostly about who you are personally (i.e. the psychological, moral, spiritual and physical being), and what you want, regardless of what family and society may expect of you. And even if you're a romantic (like me), you may still understand the difference between what's 'ideal' and what's 'real' about your hopes/plans for your future. So, sometimes, neither love nor marriage, may be what you want from a relationship at the moment.

And I'm not hinting at 'sex' and 'money' as alternatives, even though they often are. I'm really thinking about mutual admiration and respect, companionship, shared interests, etc (which may/may not include great sex and shared finances) and may/may not even lead to love as a pleasant 'side effect'.

I've often thought that many men understood that reality very early in life, whereas many women (myself included), were mainly encouraged to focus on the ideal. And, perhaps that's why we have struggled to understand or have relationships that aren't focused upon achieving 'love and marriage'.

The thing is, I now have a greater appreciation for that kind of relationship, and feel a bit put off when others don't. Am I wrong for expecting them to, or are they being archaic in their expectations of me?

It used to be that women were thought to have endless selections for mates...and all they had was the tough decision on discerning who was the best one to pick. The world has changed.

Now with monogamy becoming a thing of the past...they have the less tough decision of picking the best ONES to pick.

However, that is not what this blog is about. It is about men now being in the same position as women. With men now having endless selections and also choosing the best ONES.

Now, I am not saying that is how I am...or how all women and men are....that they want to be with multiple partners. However what I am saying is, both of their available selections have dramatically increased with social media and the internet.

So...what are some of your deal breakers when looking at photos of men or of women on the internet when determining if you want to move forward and pursue a person as a potential mate or life long partner?

For me: when I see a woman post several pictures of herself in fancy restaurants and in expensive formal dining clothes...my mind automatically concludes that she is high maintenance.

or...

When I see a woman posting a picture of herself shooting a gun....that is an automatic red flag for me. I don't care that she owns and knows how to use a gun...but why post a picture of it thinking it is important for her potential mate to know that?



Those are two main ones for me that I can think of right now. What about you?
