Thanks, that was a *vivid* description... if it wasn't so dark... Poor you, I take that back, but I'd still love to pick mushies (not the magic ones!) in the woods. Can't wait for the season to begin!
Neverthleless, I am just wondering how does one determine "honesty" if you have, at first, no ways to compare whether the person is being honest or not?
Personally I look for compatibility... Be it their "star sign" or whatever determines it... Compatibility such as - are we on the same page and do we even understand each other (even though we speak the same language)...
That reminds me - my colleague at work once needed the winter tires of his car de-studded.... He jokingly offered me to do it and I said sure, just show me how.... The whole office was standing around me making jokes while I patiently de-studded 4 tires for him.
Oh, I didn't mean to paint a gloomy picture.... I just think it's ironic, and maybe it would help more to realize that some of our expectations would never be possible in our material world, only in an ideal one. (so guys don't be mad at us, we're not doing this because we're just nasty by nature)
This has been on my mind for some time and was prompted again by the men's clothing thread....
I heard recently that women often run into certain contradictions when they imagine their perfect man, and some of them are:
*I want him to bring home enough money (i.e. work hard) but I want him to also spend enough time with me *I want for him to be adventurous/a bit of a rebel but I don't want him to have any trouble with the law *I want for him to be very handsome but so that other ladies don't cast hungry looks at him
I recently came up with two other unrealistic expectations: *I want for him to be able to read my mind but not at ALL times
and reading the clothing thread: *I want for him to be dressed nicely/in style but not spend more time shopping and getting dressed than I do
Does anything else come to mind? Maybe this is not the most productive or enlightening thread, but I thought there was definitely some truth in how we women want the impossible sometimes... What about men? Any similar things?
I almost wish it would happen to me too some day... Meet someone at a bar and get spiritually and physically attracted right there and then... Just think.... Wouldn't that be marvelous!
There's only one thing that would stop me - the fact that I only just met this person. Man, I'm so old-fashioned.
Bare chested - probably because they know that would catch their attention and they assume it will get a woman's interest also? (and many do, I'm sure)
I actually don't understand why a dog must have chocolate, or any other sweets, if there are TONS of treats that are made for dogs or found in our own fridge that will definitely do no harm? Then of course there is this "dog chocolate", someone once gave my dog a whole box of it as a present... She's still eating it, in very small doses.
I so agree... especially about the dreaming per se being already part of the process....
Sometimes the timing is not right (you may or may not realize it but the Man Upstairs does know better), but that shouldn't make you give up the dream. And when it does come true, then yup, it's a miracle!
Yes I have, there was no chemistry or anything, but I don't see it as disappointment at all. Another learning experience, made me realize a lot of things! So it's all good.
I guess due to my nature and encouragement from my parents early on, as well as my own experiences, I always try to make sure I don't have to say later on "I should have tried"....
