One of my babies is my black Golden Retriever, Kohl. I have a LOT of empathy for you, believe me. I have cried over many an animal that wasn't even mine. I'm a huge softie when it comes to animals. I'm so sorry to hear about the doggie.
I know the difference between the meaning of the words, thanks. what makes you think you "deserve" or are "entitled to" a beauty queen, is what I'm asking.
And "potatoe" is never spelled with an "e," unless you're Dan Quayle.
You didn't answer my question. "Entitled" is such an interesting word. Why do you think you're "entitled" to both? I mean, I would love to have a gorgeous man in my life who's also "functional," but do I think I'm "entitled" to one?
Hmm...I think I'm "deserving" of a good man, because I'm a good woman. But I sure don't think I'm somehow "entitled" to a man who's akin to a GQ model. For me to say that would almost make it seem like that I think I'm gorgeous myself, therefore, I'm "entitled" to have a gorgeous man in my life.
The main reason men dated younger women as a general rule in the past was for two reasons: she is of child-bearing age, and back then a husband also assumed the patriarchial role as well (as breadwinner) and, GASP! even as "disciplinarian." When it was rare for a woman to go out and work, it was her husband's sole responsibility to provide for her financial support while she did her "wifely duties" at home, cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids.
Nowadays, since most women aren't looking for men to "take care of them," it seems odd that someone 36 would be even interested in a young woman of 18. Unless what he's looking for is someone he can boss around and feel superior to.
I've met some pretty idealistic amd emotional men in my life, too, but I don't consider them out of touch with reality because of it. In fact, anger and aggression are primarily associated with men. But I suppose, if a man gets angry and aggressive, it's for a valid, logical reason, huh? If a woman shows emotion, she's being "silly" and "illogical."
I presume when you suggest that a woman chooses aesthetics over functionality you're talking about men? For every one shallow woman you can show me who does this, I can show you a DOZEN shallow men. Tell me YOU wouldn't choose a beautiful bimbo over a plain Jane intelligent "functional" woman, if you had to pick between the two of them.
If someone's still in obvious distress over a broken relationship I won't allow anything serious to happen between us unless or until I'm relatively comfortable they're over it. BTDT and what usually happens is they are just using you for immediate comfort and, when they "get over it," leave you for someone else because they weren't ready for a new relationship in the first place.
That's not what I asked you, but thanks for your input anyway.
Unless, of course, you're saying that women DO make such things a "mandatory issue." I mean, maybe there are some who do, but there are also some men who do. I just wanted you to clarify that you don't honestly think that men "corner the market" on reality. Thanks.
Patience is a virtue. I've been on dating sites six years. I haven't found anyone I "connect with," either, and I won't settle for less until I do. I don't NEED a man in my life, I WANT a man in my life. Meantime, I have tons of other things to keep busy with while I'm single, and though, sure, it does get lonely at times, I'm still content with my life.
I've learned it's not necessary to be involved with a man who won't be monagamous, and I'm very happy with it. A man who won't be faithful (or especially one who thinks that he "can't" because he's "genetically programmed to be promiscuous" -- HA!) is absolute scum, IMO. I've regained my sense of self-worth and dignity, and peace of mind from this change. I've never condoned it, but there was a time that I'd "forgive" infidelity and take him back, because of a lack of self-esteem on my part. No more. These days, if a man is unfaithful to me, I'll kick him out of my life so fast he won't know which end is up by the time he lands on the moon.
Gatlinburg is one of my favorite places to go. About 180ish miles from Nashville, where I am. I didn't go to the world's fair, so I don't recall when it was. 80-something, I think, yes. And thanks.
I HATE winter. I HATE it getting dark at 4 freaking 30 in the afternoon. At the same time, I don't like bright indoor lights, and sunlight really bothers my blue eyes (as you can see by one of my pics) My daughter doesn't call me Squint Eastwood for nothing!
Farting or belching is one. And scratching their nuts runs a close second. For some reason, some men seem to think they become invisible when they do that. Either that, or they just have no couth.
