Anyhow.. one of the most basic mistakes that guys make when they get a great girl who thinks the world of them...... they start to take her for granted... they don't help and support, they don't take her out anymore, they never say 'thanks sweetie' or they never give a little compliment... often girls start to feel they are invisible and begin to yearn attention from elsewhere...
But by the same token... girls... you gotta tell them!!!! most men are about as empathic and emotionally mature as a beetle, and they just wont be able to figure out that you are pissed off and what your needs are until you tell them...
Kids benefit ALOT more from things such as love, family and faith in something greater than themselves than they do a bunch of toys...materialism does not benefit kids really does it?
I have never dated outside my race, but I really don't think I would have a problem as long as I was attracted to them and we were compatible.. cultural differences may cause me concern alright purely because mens attitudes to women and their respect for women can vary greatly in accordance with which country they come from.. e.g... Italian men are so flirty and very hard to trust.. now while I would not want to paint them all with the same brush, I would be wary to be honest, as in my limited experience with them they are unbelievable!! .. pity.. cause they are veeerrrry cute
Muslims also, I would be a little wary, because my cousin married one, and although she seems ok, she seems to have lost her spirit, also despite the fact that he is not working she has given up her career as a nurse to become an at home mom.. which wouldn't be so bad but for the fact that she really loved it.. I dunno.. I don't mind a traditional role.. would love it in fact, but I would want to do it out of love for my family, not because I am being ordered to by my husband.. but again.. I am sure they are not all like that.. only the strict ones...
No preconcieved notions at all.. though I was educated in a Catholic School (most teachings of which I rejected)at home we didn't even go to mass... my Mum and Dad were not religious by any stretch... I was not moulded, my thoughts on the subject were my own..
Most religious dogma is carried from generation to generation without anyone really questioning or testing why or what they believe.. I had no such pressures... If I has chosen to be an athiest my Mum or Dad would not have anything to say on the matter... my Mother in particular is very liberal in this way, she doesn't believe in such things being imposed on children.. and I agree..
I objectively test everything... I always have done... even when a little girl.. at the age of 7 in my pre-Communion interview with the priest, I challenged him and told him what I thought.... I knew even then that there was something rotten in the state of Denmark.. in the confirmation, I was one of two girls who did not take the oath.. cause again I was not going to consciously lie to God, just cause everyone was going to....
The reason is I could see the wood from the trees at such an early age.. is I think the 'truth' is something which is in all of us.. or at least a knowledge of the truth is within all of us and we instinctively know what it is when we see it... reading the Gospels just blew me away!! it was truth after truth after revelation and I just recognised instantly, that I had finally been properly reunited with what I alway knew all along.. a kind of eureka moment if you get what I am trying to say... Jesus just had such a deep understanding and fundamental knowledge of pure good and love, and he was such a sincerely good and humble person who did not further his own 'human' objectives.. there hasn't been a leader or 'messiah' alive (including Mohammad I am afraid to say) that has not displayed the rotten fruits of selfish humanity... Jesus just didn't in fact he died for us!! how selfless is that!!... and if you say to urself.. welll... if he was the so called son of God then why didn't he save himself then I would reply.. SEE!! exactly!!! that is how amazing and unselfish he is... also the Muslim and Jewish faiths confirm in their own ancient writings his existence.. the fact that they don't accept him as saviour yet still confirm his existence speaks volumes!!! he was a significant feature of our history whether we like it our not..... whether we choose to accept him as our saviour is a choice base on faith and faith alone..
Forget religion!!!! this is why you are totally missing the point... man only knows how to corrupt... and man has very sucessfully corrupted the idea of God through Religion..... they were even doing so in Jesus' time.. and he had plenty to say about that
I think the main reason is that women (particularly of a certain age) are afraid to confess to wanting kids for fear it would scare off potentials... this is a sad indictment on modern men I fear, because it seems to be the done thing now to take a completely non-commital attitude to such things and to advocate a playboy care free attitude.... truth is men normally thrive in such environments... one of the fellas in my church became a new daddy on Friday morning and I swear the guy just can't stop smiling... he is just over the moon!! when it actually comes down to it, most men make good dads and relish the role.. both my brothers were completely transformed for the better by parenthood...
cmon guys and girls.. its time we were honest and admitted that we need eachother.. are good for one another, should respect each other and cherish one another.. the world would be a far happier place !! JMV..
Ship I am going to be truthful here.... which I know is not going to make me popular with you.. but I looked over the posts and it seems like you provoked him a little bit... now I know he should be more mature and not take the bait... and I know he needs to go back to charm school for another couple of semesters.. but at the end of the day it seems clear that he is going through a bit of a rough patch so cut him a little bit of slack.... Spiceys post should knock him into shape in a way that teasing and being nasty just wont... JMO..
There are some universal rules which never go out of date and go down well with male and female alike
1. Be Polite 2. Be considerate.. 3. Be respectful 4. Relax.. have fun 5. have fun.. can't underestimate 'fun' 6. Don't be over eager... girls(and guys) are just people at the end of the day.. being put on a pedistal is always a bit weird when the guy/girl knows you all of 5 minutes.. but someone who is polite and respectful will be a welcome breath of fresh air and put you a head and shoulder above the rest..
Yeah.... I have experienced a variety of it... it feels like a physical pain, .. its awful.!!. I fell pretty hard for someone three years ago and losing him as a friend really hurt, though I have known people to have gone through worse... I was able to pick myself up and function... a good friend of mine went through faaaar worse!!.. she went through a really awful time with her ex... they were together for 12 years (childhood sweethearts) until she found out that he was cheating left right and centre and had been doing so for years.. her sister had to fly over to be with her for about a month to coax her out of bed....she was going to bed with a bottle of wine to numb the pain.. everybody was really worried about her... she is one strong chic now though.. maybe too strong .. cheating is like stealing innocence from a child.... people who are affected are never able to trust in the same way again
Just goes to show... hearts are tender treat them carefully!!!Any one on here playing away from home... THINK AGAIN!!!!
The light at the end of the tunnel though is.....we do heal.. and when we do were are stronger!!
I gave two examples... 1. people who themselves have been unfaithful (think others are like that too) 2. Or those who have been betrayed (need to regain trust)
Jealousy is a pointless destructive emotion.. I would run a mile from someone who was displaying jealous tendancies... its one thing someone being pissed off with me for doing something.. but someone being pissed off with me for doing nothing would be more than I would be willing to put up with...
Jealous minds are guilty minds... if a person has a tendancy to be unfaithful they think that other people are going to be to.. it is their reality... or alternatively they could have been cheated on either way it sucks so if it is a budding relationship... nip it in the bud and don't explain urself you really shouldn't have to..
Also... genuine friendship has its benefits... soooo nice to have a genuine friendship with a man.. its a really special thing.. cause as wonderful as girls are, sometimes is just nice to hang out with a bloke.. and if it develops into something more then yipee!! bonus
Not really for me am afraid.... I have to have feelings for a person first... I think what often happens in these situations is that one person indulges the others lack of feelings and allow themselves to be used in the hope that 'feelings' will blossom at a later stage.. the thing is they rarely do cause it is hard to have any kind of respect for someone who allows themselves to be used or to use in this way... but then thats just my opinion.. old fashioned as usual
The truth is you are being nasty... increasingly nasty, you are being very unkind to Mike who has been nothing but tolerant and nice to you even though he clearly does not except your views, I have been nothing but nice to you even though I too do not share your views, but in recent time you have been spewing venemous boil by the bucket load.. so think best to cut our losses and not associate with each other on these forums anymore, I shall respectfully ignore your point of view, and you are free to respectfully ignore mine...
I just call myself a Non Denominational Bible based 'Christian' which I know is a bit long winded... .. but like you I have no respect for 'Religious' behaviours... Religious people tend to be 'a la carte' with their faith... and feel the need to engage in overly judgemental over legalistic type practices to compensate... I know a person who is like that.. he knows the Bible inside out, criticises and 'corrects' his fellow churchgoers.... but at the same time displays little compassion on a day to day basis... dunno think Religion (in the conventional sense) is counter-spiritual and has a negative impact on a persons spiritual growth... JMV
Thank you for that .... I made a crib with a little six year old friend of mine yesterday.... it was great fun and a nice reminder of what used to be symbolic of Christmas when I was a child...
Christmas has literally been taken over by the world as a purely commercial event with Christmas Trees and a big fat guy dressed in red
RE: what are the main causes a woman becomes unhappy in a relationship
This completely proves my point
