Hmmnm, nice doesn't cut it as it is only part of an overall equation. I've had to dump them for not being willing to be better in bed but really, nothing beats a nice guy or girl that is good in bed.
Generally men. They are predisposed to mate with as many females as possible whereas the female is predisposed to seek security so she may have safety for the children she bears.
As for the modern world when all things are equal I would say whomever has bad experiences and has the most to lose or gain. Those who have had higher quality relationships are less likely to simply dive into a relationship until secure that the new prospect is at least equal to the old whom they left and, if they risk the safety of children or personal resources it makes them more gun shy.
So, the answer would have to be 'depends.' If a girl's crack head abusive boyfriend gets thrown in jail, I imagine she might pick up with anything however, if a rich widow who lived a fairy tale romance with her departed husband of thirty years contacts you or is contacted, it is doubtful she will simply throw it all in with the first guy who comes along.
I know this helped like a hole in the head but all things are not equal when posing a question such as what you presented.
"You know (probably better than most) that I will weep with joy when W leaves the White House, but I was appalled that any diplomat -- U.S. or otherwise -- would be treated in that manner. He is still the president after all, an accomplishment that many would like to have achieved."
Exactly. So many forget that it is in essence an attack on the USA (and in fact, one of the shoes hit the US flag.)
Lots of girls try to pull that BS by playing psychologist and telling you what you are without even knowing you at all. And, lots demand an honest guy as well. As if a dishonest one will show his colors on first meeting.
Sad to say, it's a front as all people I know are honest otherwise, I wouldn't know them. Only fools demand honesty. Good people just seem to get it as they know all the hallmarks of a dishonest person so interested in something that to you and me is a given like air and water?
Myself, I look for somebody that isn't stuck on themselves and unrealistic expectations. Many for my age group I weed out by reading keywords of 'golf' 'Mexico' 'travel' 'remodeling' and such. It is all a litmus test for money.
Oh, and while I'm on it, the 'My family comes first' makes me howl. Like I'm going to want your first born as collateral.
How about I love to dance, laugh, live and am looking for somebody that is positive, artistic and wants to go out with a light attitude to see how heavy things can get?
Hedistuff "No matter how many opinions are offered in defense of this administration's actions, they carry no weight in that which I witnessed. As a U.S. citizen, I was horrified by almost everything they proposed."
Wondering then Hedistuff, why attacks on that administration has to be in the form of lies? Ie: Cheney profiting from Haliburton's involvement, Bush lying when he said Iraq had WMDs when in reality , that was the intelligence given to him by the CIA and enthusiastically endorsed by it's head months later after the invasion.
Interesting that you give weight to lies and rhetoric but none to the truth or, at the very least, attempts to explain their points of view.
Rudolph, from Russia, was a student studying in Minsk.
At the end of term he was due to travel home to Moscow for the holidays, with his fellow students, by train.
Whilst on the train and in need of refreshment, Rudolph's friend Vlad ordered some Brewskis from the refreshment carriage and gave them out to his friends on his return.
Rudolph took one sip, stood up, slid the window open and leapt to his death to which one his astonished friends exclaimed...
"of course- we forgot... Rudolph The Red Loathes Train Beer"
Wan2chat "To whom it may concern this is my first Blog! Ever"
It is an honor to be the first person to reply to your first blog.
Wan2chat "I suppose a part of me wants to hear from her and another part wants to get together with her. Mostly though I just wanted to express my feelings so I can learn to let go and continue to grow as a man."
Yes, I have been there and in moments of reflection sometimes still am.
"The power to produce good works come directly from God, not within man."
That's bull. Man is naturally good. It is natural survival and social pressures that turns him away from the prime edits that all societies which include those not associated with Jesus and Christianity embrace.
Jesus forgives but, Jesus loved life. He embraced it in celebration, humor and enthusiasm, not doom and gloom. He knew he was loved by his father and voluntarily went to the cross to show us that we are too. Not so that we do the mundane sorrowful act on sundays but rather show true love and joy in our everyday activities knowing we are ultimately loved by God.
I guess that pretty much what I'm saying is lighten up. Enjoy life and have some fun. Once you know you're loved everything else is just a happy breeze.
Your assessment is bang on! I do recognize that there is limits to realistic patience and, that goes the way of the US as well. Mushariff had his chance in 2002 after the attacks then when the US, India and Pakistan went this route before. He lost momentum quickly even after being provided billions to take care of the problem. This time, the government of Pakistan has to know that the US understands your point and has severe limits to it's ability to placate India and stop them from taking action.
I feel that you will begin to see some concrete action from Pakistan however, you will also see some stepped up attacks from Jihadis as well. I think that in light of those probable attacks, Pakistan had better be taking publicized actions to show they are doing their part otherwise, any agreements of non aggression will justifiably be null and void.
God's within all of us to some degree or another. I for example believe in Him and, he knows that through my quiet prayers however, I don't wear it on my chest like some medal. He also helps those who help themselves so, giving up so easily is hardly in line with his purpose.
BTW, the Psalm on profile writing has yet to be discovered.
Hades fell in love with Persephone (Percephany - the Goddess of Spring and daughter of Demeter and Zeus) and kidnapped her to make her his wife. After pressure from Zeus he agreed to let her free for one third of the year and so, each spring, she returns to the world, smelling of Hades, and earth, to bring us new life and joy.
Really! Wish I could say the same. I have a hard enough time mixing a good martini while negotiating my 80 foot semi in and out of Yonkers during rush hour. It's the shifting that kills me, the ice keeps popping out of the glass.
If that's how you live your life then your task will be a simple one; bring him everywhere you go, make him part of your life rather than an observer. Engage him in decisions and never punish rather, instill a conscience in him and let him understand that he controls that conscience with it's life long permanence with his decisions. when he comes down hard on himself for his mistakes forgive him and explain that others do as well as his intent was to do good.
I'm wondering why you have a hard time when he is with his mother though. Is she not a good person who has his best interests at heart and can also teach him things or is it simply because you miss him?
A person that cares does. In fact, a decent person that really does not care that much does. A person without class does not nor does a person who is trying to avoid you in order to move ahead in their life without being reminded of how guilty they are for doing so without doing it properly and telling you they wish to.

It's soul cleansing. Even if nobody actually reads it you still have it out there.
