I found the info on the Film "The Enchanted Cottage" filmed in 1945 with Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young .
A homely maid and a scarred ex-GI meet at the cottage where she works and where he was to spend his honeymoon prior to his accident. The two develop a bond and agree to marry, more out of loneliness than love. The romantic spirit of the cottage, however, overtakes them. They soon begin to look beautiful to each other...
The lonely woman was obviously not attractive -- neither to the battle-scarred man -- nor to the audience. He, burned and scarred, was practically repulsive looking to everyone, including the audience. Once their characters began honestly interacting, however, the audience was allowed to begin to accept them as real, humble, and friendly people -- like themselves. Then, the clever director had the make-up crew begin to -- ever so slowly, practically imperceptively -- soften their features, making their formerly perceived homeliness/ugliness more and more transparent. Thus, as the characters began to fall more in love and began to see the other as the person they had so long sought after, so too, did the audience! Then the characters' true beauty became so apparent, so much as what each would have wanted the other to be, that we, audience and players alike, saw them as the most handsome people we had beheld.
I know the feeling, but have actually been speaking with two men that have potential... who are within a reasonable distance, and have the freedom to move... 'cause I won't, unless its to another Island, sooooo possibly within the next month or so I won't be single??? I'm not holding my breath!
Give teachers back some authority! Teachers and Administration have no power to enforce proper behavior and respect, a child can spit in a teachers face, strike them and the teacher can do nothing. I think any crime committed with a gun should carry a mandatory lifetime sentence with no possibility of parole.
I am so incredibly disgusted by the low value placed on human life, the lack of respect and basic manners that people have towards each other.
Thats why I live on a little island that has not had a single gun crime in the five years that I have been here, and crime has actually reduced by 30% in the last 2 years... we went from 12 purse snatchings, to 9
These are great, I always had a problem with number 6, the ability to receive until a good friend of mine got really angry when I refused their help.
They asked me the simple question "How do you feel when you are able to help someone"? my response was that I felt good, their reply was "Then how can you be so bloody selfish about letting other people feel good"?
I think we are amazingly alike in a lot of ways. I don't consider myself a feminist though, an equalist definitely. I am against quota's and the changing of requirements to accommodate women. I think everyone should have to qualify for anything at the same level.
I was married to a guy from Brunswick ME and lived there for about a year. While it is incredibly beautiful and there are some lovely people... I experienced culture shock unlike anywhere I had ever been. The attitude in town was there were two types of women, your wives and girl friends and those loose women who wore makeup. I set that town on its ear... I don't think they've recovered yet!!!
On occasion, when I go out with friends... I will put on the dumb blond act, it is amazing how many more men will talk with me and the amount of time they spend with me is drastically increased, let me start to speak intelligently and watch them run!
On the other hand, appearance also seems to bear a role... I have an amazing "Mae West" costume that I put together, on the occasions that I have worn it, I haven't had to dumb down in the least and have had men that I had noticed months ago who never acknowledged me swarming around, I wish I could dress as Mae everyday!
So maybe we can get away with being strong and independent if we look glamorous and feminine?
I have a hard time with this as well, and I just don't understand it. To me it's so much better to want or be wanted then to need and be needed. If I want you... it's you, the happiness I feel being with you, the things we share, If I need you, its for a roof over my head, to protect etc.
I think it takes a very strong man to accept the fact that he's loved just because he is, rather then what he provides
Before everyone comes down on me for this.... this is only my experience and I'm not putting all Turkish men down!!!! That said...
When living in the states I met several Turkish men who were friends of my sisters boyfriend... When we were out I would see them in action charming the women, but when they came back to the group the derogatory way they discussed women was really shocking to me! I try to be open minded but when you see this so blatantly... I'm very wary of Turkish men now.
Well I guess he's not a typical Finn, He's one of the most exuberant people I've ever met, speaks fluent English and Spanish, doesn't live in Finland... so far I'm safe...
That brings up an interesting question... Internet allows us to meet people from all over the world. We are introduced to people we never could have met otherwise, but there is the possibilitly of falling for someone who is "geographically undesirable". Having met that person, does it make you less satisfied and less willing to settle for someone in your location who is available?
Oh cr*p, just looked at the Threads and noticed another single pole!!!!! Well maybe this offers some different choices and will open the door a little wider.
This was brought up on a Thread Yesterday and a Few people seemed to thing it was a good idea, so here it is.
While some of you on CS have found your mate, there are many of us still single. Most people on the forums seem to be intelligent, interesting, good sense of humor... traits most of us admire and have listed as things we desire in a partner... so the question arises...
Why are you still single? Please vote and elaborate.
