Is it just my run of luck lately...or are there any other women out there who are meeting men and wondering...

Did they even want to know that I enjoy looking after my home (ie i'm domesticated!!), that i still use starch to iron a shirt, that i cook and clean and like to do laundry...

Did they even want to know that I am well versed and can carry on an intelligent conversation, I can do needlepoint and sew..

That i can run my house like clockwork and still hold a job outside the home...

Or did they just want to know how well i can perform in the bedroom??
sigh

For all the men that seem to want a "down to earth" woman...it just seems that the "down to earth" part came way down on the list of things that were really important...moping

domesticated is all that matters to me! I can't date a woman that can't cook and clean. I am in a decent enough paid job so the lady wouldn't have to work...it's old fashioned, but it's the way it is...and I think stay at home mom's to take care of the kids is #1 priority.

For what it's worth, I've met you and Wikked, and mainly saw your essence. Beauty in all it's aspects, practical and as real women. Paws

SUCH a diplomat.

if i was able to choose...i would have spent the first three years at least at home with each of my children. as it was...i made certain that i worked nights and my husband worked days so that we could keep them out of daycare.

i don't, however, derive ALL of my satisfaction from my family...i crave more. so...when the kids are in school...so am i. or at work. but even as a single mom, i'm home every evening with the kiddies...and i love it.

I don't know about other guys but for me those types of things are easily observed and don't necessarily have to be asked.. of course showing interest in that is not asking too much handshake

I do spend time with my kids...but kids do grow and have other interests...and when they play sports...i'm usually the one dropping them off to their games...I have also NEVER missed one of their school concerts or plays...I volunteer my time to their class for special events...and i go on whatever school trips i can...

But i do all the other stuff too....

Yes it is important....but i also would like the other person to know what makes me tick.

And I do not give up anything for another person anymore. Not my job, friends, smoking .... nothing... this is me, take it or leave it.

Well I met a man this weekend.
We went to breakfast after the bar & talked until 5am.
Then last night we went out to dinner & talked for several more hours.
We had good conversations.
Who knows though,I guess time will tell.
He was the one who first mentioning taking things slow.
Who knows maybe that's what they all say but are thinking otherwise.

You know i start (finally) to see the difference between men and women, in the way they view things. Must be the male brain thing... rolling on the floor laughing

Not meant in a mean way. So please dont start attacking.....tongue

Oh, there's a definite difference...from a biological standpoint, the lady is interested in keeping the man around to raise the kids, and the man is interested in spreading his seed far and wide. And that's just the start of it.

That's the only thing I learned in Anthropolgy...maybe that's why i almost failed...

Wow, great thread...

A good woman is a very efficent, smart, responsible, nurturing, and
focused woman. So much more than a play thing for the bedroom.

I didn't mean to imply that all men are pigs...I just wonder where their priorities lie...and if at my age the things that are important to me...perhaps are no longer important to them....
