What do you like a man to be ? ( Archived) (26)

hiya galrads
i know it's from the list, but lair...

Noun

A wild animal's resting place, esp. one that is well hidden.
A secret or private place.

so then i asked myself..would i want the man in my life to be where i could take my wild side and keep it in a secret or private place...and i thought..yah...that would work for me. it is working for me

having a man in my life, where i can go and rest and hide...sounds/feels pretty good actually.

some typo's are just better than others...

. hahaha I thought you were available and or looking though.

nope and nope... just hanging with friends and enjoying the forums now.

As corny and cheesy as it maay seem....I remember the day my father not only gave me this, but read it to me as well....

IF.....

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Cool, that's kind of what I've been doing for the last week or so while here in the Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas areas. My married friends here, though, are always trying to fix me up with someone while I'm here though. I just tell them to pray for patience.

Just someone who is himself and honest. Everything else won't work long-term.

Men...Women...friends.....no truer statement...

loyal heart,sweet,loving and a bestfriend kind.... Wish i cld find him...

The usual basics.

No expectations then I won't be disappointed.
