Introduction by Pat Hagan I sure hope this study wasn’t too expensive because I could have given them the same information for the cost of an iced tea. (Actually I probably would’ve given it for free.) In any case I certainly didn’t need a fancy research lab to discover this. I know this simply because I see it all the time with the various Men who travel to this part of the world in search of true love. Now as fun as it may seem for you Gentlemen to take a spur of the moment road trip to Cloud 9 without your trusty little GPS in hand there is a serious side to this which all of you should pay close attention to. Because getting lost in what you believe is love (but is actually lust or infatuation) can be a VERY EXPENSIVE and VERY DISAPPOINTING journey. It usually starts with a man who is devoid of any feminine attention who starts corresponding with only a picture of some younger beauty on the Internet. I can hardly find fault with them but it is simply way too easy for these Gentlemen to lose their minds, let their imaginations roam and believe that they have “found love”. Now if he’s one of the lucky few who actually makes it over to the FSU to meets his lady then he’s really at risk for losing his marbles if he’s truly attracted to the girl standing before him. Now I totally understand that these hazy feelings can be a very beautiful thing because Mother Nature can do blissful, wonderful things in matters of love and attraction. But the flip side is this. Lack of common sense can often bring about confusion and BAD Decision making. So before any of you Gentlemen go flying off to marry the first girl who gives you any attention try to take a step back and realize that there is a powerful force in play that will most certainly impair your judgement as to what the best woman may be for you to build a future with. ALWAYS keep your options open and try to meet as many everyday women as possible because.. Contrasts + Comparisons = Common Sense -----------------------------------------------------------------

Englishman55: That kind of struck a chord .... Thankyou for posting
Hi EM
Makes you think... doesn't it...
Pretty girls/ guys are everywhere, but you cannot consider all of them as prospective partners...once you meet and start to get to know, there will crop up a shared or unshared values that will make your head go straight back into normal mode.?

Hi Merri..
Happened to me just recently, which is why the post struck such a chord.
Still not sure whether it was reffering to me as I like to think I am fairly level headed guy, but they do say "love is blind"
Its true that, yes some guys think with the wrong part of their anatomy. In all fairness I think it's completely understandable that guys get out of control every now and then. What I don't understand is, I know there are ladies out there who have the same problem as we do. They just maintain better then we do. I'm just not sure how they do it. Guys see a hot girl and tongue hits the floor and we may even spill some beer (if she is really hot). Now, on the other hand when a lady notices a guy, they totally keep their composure. Is it because woman are smarter than men,, maybe. I guess inquiring minds what to know.

To tell you the truth ... I have no idea. I don't think has to anything to do with being smart, wise or else.
It is on a deeper scale of human emotions or just because we Women for centuries have known the Power we have over men.

Konigsberg: WOW! I wish I could posted before it happened to you Englishman.
But again as they say it is better late than never
When you are in love, you tend not to listen anyway, which is what I did.... someone did mention it to me at the time, and I ignored it because I thought I knew what I was doing....
Still not sure now, whether it was a mistake or genuine. !

Hi Sbronson,
Nooooo, if a stunning looking guy enters the room, we can get a little shaky feeling too .... just to let you know... but reason kicks in fairly quickly...

It is too late anyway to try to find out what it was.
If you are not sure ... that means it was Mistake.
Life goes on, right? BTW Did you forget about that Gold. Don't you?
