Just something I wrote that I though I would post to see what others think.... come on feed me your opinions!!!!
It is five a.m. and as I write this the majority of you young, wishful girls are in your cozy beds dreaming of the handsome Knight in shining armour that will one day come and sweep you off your feet. Believe me I know of those wonderful dreams and fantasies, as I was once that young fanciful girl myself. Unfortunately that is no longer the case as the years have passed and time is certainly winning the battle.
I am now a thirty-five years old, slightly embittered woman. I know that not every woman feels the same as I, some of you have been lucky, but I must admit that I know more women out there who feel this way than ones who don’t. You’d be surprised at how many of us are actually out here.
I’m not pointing fingers (boy’s) but what up? Aren’t there any men left out there that are looking for a loving, trusting relationship? Has the women’s liberation movement erased the need for love and companionship? Hardly! There aren’t many guy’s that either myself or my friends have dated in the last few years, with the exception of a minimal few who even know how to open a door for a woman. Today women are paying bills, working in high-powered, stressful careers while also being a mother, wife and homemaker.
I know that this is what us women fought for and the leaps and bounds into equality have certainly been momentous (believe me we aren’t finished yet) but please, in the midst of all of the change do not forget the romance. Women are demanding, we admit it. It’s a gift given to us along with P.M.S. but if you truly want to know “what women want?” don’t forget the attention, the affection and the chivalry that goes along with normal tradition.
The answer to the timeless question of “What do women want”? is: EVERYTHING!!!! And don’t you forget it.

Personally - I need a "wife"
Someone like Mrs. Brady or June Cleaver - keep my home neat, my bils paid, someone who will remember the newpaper delivery boys birthday, knows how to get wax stains out of carpet, and who will remember to buy toilet paper.
and for those of you who read it and said "ewwwwwwwwww" - I'm joking =P )
This may be off-based and if it is please correct me. To a big degree we men are not taught courtesy, manners, respect, and chivalry like in the past. I was raised in old school respect of women(open doors, compliment, tip hat, help if they want it, listen, etc.). As a culture though I see people staying immature too long and not trying to grow up like they should. It is turning to a big degree into a "me and only me" world. Please accept my apology if this offended anyone. Offense was not intended in any way.
Right on, sister. Where is the affection and the attention? Have all you guys been hurt so badly that you can't reach out or even remember the good manners you used at home? Are you really content to just hang with each other, sometimes with just strangers, in a bar on a Saturday night? If you called me for a date and I didn't think it was a good match based on previous meetings, I'd tell you exactly that. But when I call you and email you, you don't respond at all. It would be the manly thing to say "It's not a good match," or, "I'm going down another path." Girls, is this a universal problem or limited to just Gemini and me?
On a similar tack, maybe you 55 y.o. guys could tell me why you're interested only in women 10 years younger? Do you feel you can't hold up your end of a conversation with someone in your own age range? Are "older" women all too old? You've been seeing the wrong women, for sure!
Oh well, thanks for listening, Gemini. Lonsesomedove 500 signing off.
