Negatively! I want someone who is confident enough in themselves to have a high self regard and healthy self esteem. Thus they would describe themselves as at least above average or even extraordinary.
If you like being lonely! Unless you're some religious zealot on a quest for spiritual attainment sans a significant other then your life is not quite complete without a spouse/partner/mate/significant other/lover. It's part of the inherent life experience that we find another that completes us. Otherwise you'll always be empty and envious as you watch the happy couples living their life fulfilled while you can only be envious.
I'll have to give this one hands down to the ladies. Smiles. I have a college degree and an above average IQ but the women I've been involved with over the years always seem to come out on top in the smarts department. I think women have a innate sense of truth and understanding that gives them the edge over men when it comes to cognitive ability.
Yup, if there's not an attraction initially no further contact would take place. It's only normal to want an aesthetically pleasing partner. In this society an emphasis is placed on looks.
Many of us have some inner, dark, well hidden secrets that are best left not entertained in the light of day. I expect those I enter into relationships with to have lived enough of an adventurous life to at least have chalked up some juicy experiences that have fallen into the realm of secrets that you just don't share. I respect others' right to privacy and don't believe it's my place to pry into someone's past that they obviously don't wish to volunteer to share.
I do put a premium on truth however. It's the foundation that leads to trust which is the bedrock of all lasting relationships. I really don't care what my partner did up to the point of coming into a commitment with me as long as they are always truthful with me from day one.
I miss the days before political correctness seeped into all facets of society. Used to be you could speak your mind and say what you thought openly without thought of consequence. Nowadays most folks speak only behind close doors exactly what is on their mind. The thought police are out in force.
Meditation techniques are very beneficial for transcending static and noise generated by the brain. Your subconscious works overtime to keep your true self disconnected from pure being. The trick is to rise above the planes and find peace, harmony and being in the essence of just existing in the here and now.
I have done it in the past and found it acceptable for me at that point in time. However, as I matured and aged I no longer found it acceptable but would wait until we were officially married to reside together. And besides, it's nice to have your own space before you wear that ball and chain! lol
It wouldn't be acceptable! When/if someone is totally into you and has strong feelings for you they take your thoughts and feelings into consideration. It's blatant disrespect to still be trolling the dating sites putting yourself out there to meet others when you are in the supposed committed phase with someone else.
I focus on their face. Is it attractive, pleasant, homely? If their body is evident in the photo I'll give it a precursory glance and judge that as well. Do they have a fit body or have they let themselves go? Then I take into consideration the background presentation of the picture. Scenic atmosphere, nice, neat home, or some despicable backdrop like a dingy bar, bathroom or some other eyesore? By that point in time it becomes evident whether they are a 1 or a 10 or any number in between.
One marriage lasted six years, one only three. Between 18 and 28 I was with one girl in a continuous, passionate relationship. So 10 years for my longest. Come to think of it I should've married her!
I would befriend someone who is terminally ill but I wouldn't date them. I'm not a glutton for punishment which is the category I'd fall into if I made a conscious decision to be a young widower. This is not a perfect world as was portrayed in Nicholas Sparks movie and book, 'A Walk To Remember', which is about this very subject matter.
I give the award of best cuisine hands down to the Italians! But you didn't include the easy shoe in for second place on your list. That would be Mexican food of course!
I wish for the time of my life with the lady I met off this site out in California that I'll be meeting in person in about 6 weeks when I swing back through LAX from Kauai. I think we'll have at least a few days together. Should be a blast!
Yeah I forgive for selfish reasons, so I won't have to carry around negative baggage with me as I progress through life. As far as forgetting goes, nah, I believe forgetting is for the foolish who are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. We always remember, lest it happen again!
When I'm with someone and have the hots for them it spills over from the bedroom to the streets! I'm a big fan of PDA when the passion is so intense that you don't wait to "get a room" to display your affection but act it out wherever you may happen to be. Those that holler "get a room" are one and the same that are jealous!
I've originally met many ladies online and after some conversation met up with them and dated in real life. Some I made into girlfriends and one became my last wife. So there is validity to meetings, chats and romances that bud and blossom online. You just have to ask yourself if you're willing to put the effort into it necessary and follow through with those you develop an interest in.
I believe that if we are open to the experience we fall in love with multiple partners throughout the course of our lives. How soon does someone fall in love? That depends on the individuals involved and their emotional maturity plus their degree of faith and belief in love. It's alot easier to be in the grasp of something if you are wholeheartedly susceptible to it. When I feel I have taken the plunge and fallen in love with another I don't hesitate to voice those three magical words, "I love you!". But when I am bold enough and sure enough to say it I am committed to it and steadfast with it. I don't falter or hesitate.
The last woman I met from online named Angie that I had a fling with for a month or so blew me away when I first saw her in person. Her pictures online looked hot but in person she was flawless! She was so good looking it was almost intimidating.
I have tattoos but I had the foresight to get them on my torso, upper back and upper arms. This way I can wear a short sleeve shirt and you wouldn't even know I was sporting ink. This way I advertise them when I want and cover them when i wish to appear more conservative.
I'd rather live my own adventurous life cause it's more exciting than any characters' life in a book. I know that my life most assuredly is just that! Between the numerous lessons learned from the school of hard knocks and the crazy but exciting adventures I'd have to say that it's true, life is stranger than fiction! You have to keep on your crash helmet and stay buckled in firmly cause it can be one hell of a ride at times. It's actually lots of fun, this thing called life.....
