I sing just about anywhere and everywhere. In church, in the shower (sorry, neighbor) and I sing along with the radio in the car. Sometimes I get so into the music I sing with my eyes closed. Can I help it if someone put a sidewalk there and didn't tell me?
Jealousy is born of insecurity, fear. This fear, in our genes, is the fear that our basic human instincts, to survive and replicate our genetic material, are threatened. Simply put, if the intention is to mate/breed with a partner, a rival threatens our intent to reproduce and we (male or female) get jealous.
With all due respect to Robert Ludlum, the Bourne films -Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum- (which had little in common with the books other than the title character) were much better than the books.
There's some pretty crappy country out there. But not all of it. It depends what you're looking for in a song. Most of the "Nashville Sound" stuff from the 50's and 60's can be pretty lame, late 70's early 80's is pretty much easy listening cheese. But there's a lot of good music in the genre too.
Try googling - Palin Hillary Supporters - and read a few of the articles.
The fact is that the McCain campaign is trying to attract Ms. Clinton's supporters by putting a female on the ticket. There may be other reasons but this IS A reason for his choice.
Everybody has some issue(s) with their self esteem, self confidence and self worth. Its part of being human. We're going to make mistakes, we'll miss some of goals that are set for us and that we set for ourselves. In some way shape or form we're all going to feel as if we fall short. But, understand that things change and that the things that matter to you now may not matter six months from now or six years from now. The simple truth is, everyone has feelings of inferiority. If everyone fails, everyone hurts, everybody is inferior, then nobody is, in fact, inferior. People will know things that you don't know, go places that you don't go, meet people that you don't meet. You will know things that others don't know, go places that others don't and meet people that others don't. Different is just different, not inferior.
No matter who you are or aren't, no matter who you think you are or aren't, no matter who other people think you are or aren't, everybody is born. Everybody dies. Birth is by most definitions a moment of success. Death is by most definitions the ultimate failure. We all do both and can prevent neither one from coming to pass.
I think if I were a woman I'd be insulted. By choosing Palin, McCain is assuming that there are a large number of female voters who will vote for a woman simply because she's a woman and ignore her lack of qualifications.
On the other hand, I've met many women who are very uncomfortable with a man who is open and interested in discussing deep personal thoughts and emotions. I suppose because its out of the ordinary.
There also, in my experience, tends to exist a dismissiveness when the thoughts and emotions originate from men (I want to talk about me sometimes.) or when the timing is inconvenient, or when our expression is arbitrarily seen as a display of weakness. (Man up!) I've also been informed on many occasions that I'm incorrect about what I feel. Those experiences tend to teach us that there's little point in being open and that the trust we need to feel to be open does not exist.
Out of an estimated 7 billion people in the world, approximately 48 million of them are 38 year old women. About 2 million of them live in the United States. (2005 census #'s)
"Surely you are more likely to find common ground with a woman nearer your own age ?"
What exactly are we supposed to have in common? Not everyone in the same age range has the same set of life experiences. Even people who have similar life experiences will think about them differently and gather different lessons from them. We don't all live life at the same pace. Not everyone in the same age group has the same set of goals for their life and not all are at the same point on that journey.
Whether you can accept and attempt to empathize with someone else for the ground that they've walked on is more important. Whether you can communicate openly and honestly (Most of communication is listening and actually thinking about what you hear.) is more important. Whether you can learn from each other is more important. Being receptive to that other person's thoughts and feelings rather than attempting to define and enclose them is more important. What's that got to do with age?
What's the prize for finishing first? Personally, if some emotionally stunted, immature little freak ain't interested, you haven't lost much have you.
Is finishing first really winning if what you win isn't worth winning? Do you really want to waste emotion on some women who kicked you in the balls?
Who are you competing with? If its dumba** vs dumba** do you really want to win so you can be the biggest dumba**?
"...it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth." -
I'm a 38 year old guy. I'm attracted to women my age, older and younger. Who I'm interested in is about more than any chronological age or even any definable set of life experiences. I've dated women from18 years older (I was 26 she was 44) and to 13 years younger (I was 32 she was 19) and I've found that there really is no rule for the onset of intellectual, emotional or spiritual maturity, at least in my experience.
But...
As part of the long term relationship I'm looking for, I want children and that rules out women who are very much older and it rules out those who are closer or younger in age, have kids and don't want any more.
