Regardless of what people feel about the actions of others no matter how distasteful those actions may be, when presented with the same situation they act in the same distasteful way as they have seen others act.
"well, for me love is when you like the person you are when you are with someone"
Interesting interpretation of love.... love for yourself perhaps, but no mention of love for the person you are getting these loving feelings from.
Funny (strange) how men talk about the depth of love they feel for women but women talk about how they feel when receiving love. Does this mean that only men have the capacity to love or does a man simply show their love to women so that women can feel good with themselves?
Your question is too generalised.... perhaps if you were more specific as to "how do men think (in a given situation)?"
For example... You did ask "what do men really want" if you clarified this by saying... "what do men really want from a relationship" You may get some answers to your question.
When you dont have a partner .... you want one, and when you have a partner ... you dont!
Men are more needy (IMO) than women, all be from a companionship position as they get older.
It has been said that men would rather sleep with a different woman every night than stay with one partner, whereas women would rather sleep with one man every night rather than have different partners.
I was born and raised in Kenya and had never heard of Obama until he became president. Certainly his brother lives in Kenya but think that is the only connection.
Presidential rules state that no person born outside the United States may be elected President.
There is an argument that says .... meet quickly, that way you will be able to ascertain whether what you imagined is really true.
likewise
It is said... take your time, get to know each other via an interactive program where you can see each other and talk on video.
Horses for courses, both have their merits, however in an LDR the more familiar you are with the person the more likely that person is to be the same when you meet.
Even now that I am older, one night stands are no big deal, as for letting my "bits" hang out..... Well the only "bits" I have are either toned and tanned or they are rock solid!
Covered table on the beach, string quartet playing as a butler served champagne and lunch, afterwards some time in the gigantic spa pool then a professional oil massage for us both.
Limo in the evening, take in a show (black tie ... of course), romantic dinner in an alcove of a secluded restaurant with live band to dance too after dinner.
A wonderful blog.... BUT... these days life is somewhat different as outlined in the following story....
A woman yearned for the unconditional love of a man, one day attending a seminar on the subject the woman happened to talk to the presenter explaining her desire. To which the presenter replied.... “come tomorrow evening, I will introduce you to a man whom will give you unconditional love”. The woman rightly was shocked by this revelation and in a stumbling voice said.... “well.. what if I do not find this man attractive, or he may have traits I dislike, there are only certain types of men I am attracted to!”
In my early fifties I used to stretch my legs whilst sleeping thus getting cramp in my calf muscles .... so I know all about the "quick" bed exit doing a rain dance around the room swearing like a trooper.... Painful!
Essentially the cramp has nothing to do with age, a lot depends on how much exercise the leg gets, if you spend the day sitting for example you are more likely to get cramp than you would do if you spent more time on your feet.
Question: When we feel the first hit of doubt, how long does it take for us to accept that we're into something destructive? And do something about it?
Anywhere from a month to 20 years! Depending on the ability to do something about it, many people are stuck in a situation financially or personally.
What do we do then? Is there a modus operandi applicable for us to apply?
I have not read all the posts so if what I have to say below has been said already then so be it.
No doubt many replies posted will talk about an illness in this person, however one point I would like you to consider is that there have been recorded cases that people have become perpetual liars out what is called "self preservation of the mind against the world"
In other words the person in question is so out of touch (frightened) with the world around them they feel unable to fit into society. To this extent they create a scenario through lies that they feel will make them more acceptable to others.
Like a camilion the person adjust the lies to the surroundings and people they encounter. For these people what they recount is not lies it is how they believe themselves to be in a world they create to avoid encountering reality.
@Niayana I have met quite a few women on site in the same position, some have even offered to re-locate immediately without even knowing anything about me.
RE: is man always complicated?
Men are only as complicated as women make them to be
