Well, I guess "I" DON'T make your LIST of men, then? I THINK I've always been pretty straight forward, open and honest, in my statements/presentations, on these forums! I COULD BE liked, a LOT more than I AM, IF I wasn't! I say what I think and feel. I CAN'T speak for ANY of the OTHER men, here, because I DON'T KNOW any of them. But "I" have exposed some things about myself, here, that I had NO NEED to tell anybody. I LIKE you, M! I THINK you know that. So PLEASE don't represent yourself as the ONLY PERSON that calls it like like they see it, and the world be damned, HERE! I THINK there are a LOT of "decent" people, here! BOTH men and women! INCLUDING YOU!
Hey Lee? Is there ANYTHING ELSE you wanna BLAME on women, before I sign off, tonight? I'm just wondering whether I should STICK AROUND for your NEXT joke?
Whatsa matter, Lee? They ALL wise to YOU, ALREADY! You CAN'T expect ANYONE to BELIEVE that there are NO WOMEN, in Wales! Wait! I FORGOT it's YOU! YOU think people will BELIEVE your BS!
MsContessa: Falling in love is a very magical thing which many are forgetting.. However, you have to be vulnerable to fall in love. Some see vulnerability as a weakness rather than as a strength which it is.. So, many are weak and prefer to stay single rather than put their heart on the line.
pKrema: I would disagree with that Ms, falling in love doesn't require vulnerability...but to show your love you have to be prepared to be vulnerable... Being vulnerable doesn't make you strong...it makes you exposed and weak...
Mercedes: I agree with exposed but I don't believe it makes for being weak to me exposing yourself is all about being raw /honest.and real
"I" THINK you have to look at the man, and his method and timing of exposing his vulnerability. Depending on THOSE, the man might be being "vulnerable UNWILLINGLY! In which case he IS a weak man. In OTHER cases, he COULD be TRYING to let/bring you INTO his life/world. In which case he would be exposing himself WILLFULLY! Which would INDICATE that he feels strong and secure ENOUGH, in his person, to let you SEE the REAL man (behind the mask)! It's a situation by situation, person by person call! There IS no "one size fits all"! JMO
I squeeze the muscles of my va*ina in out in out so many times a day to keep her tight cartwheel
I'm sorry but you did ask I always tell the truth giggle
Well, I guess you can cross HIM off your list, Ladies! If he doesn't even know what kegels are, he DOESN'T know enough about a woman's body, to MAKE you "happy", or KEEP you "happy"! Poor guy! And "I" ALWAYS like your UP FRONT and STRAIGHT FORWARD, THIS is how it ISness, M!
I'm SURE there are a LOT of men who WOULD, M! Their PROBLEM is that you'd beat 'em up and toss 'em out, before they could get rightfully settled in! I THINK the legal term would be "Malfeasance in Office"!
NO! She's NOT, PK! You're NOT "average! You're MILES ABOVE "EVERY" woman! And IF nobody's told you so, LATELY, it's just that you INTIMIDATE men, with HOW MUCH woman you ARE! You DESERVE BETTER than a GOOD man! You've EARNED a GREAT man! Just wish I WAS one!
All in favor of sharing separate lives TOGETHER, say AYE! You seem to be a VERY "stand up" woman, M! NOT bound by social custom and traditions! BE you!
But I give EVERYBODY a hard time, Dee! NOT just YOU! Some I give HARDER times to! Like Lee! And I'm NOT always what YOU call "long winded"! ONLY when I'm trying to state my point CLEARLY!
And, since you started this thread, and asked, there are SEVERAL women that visit the forum, that I THINK would be FIRST CLASS wives! Including YOU! But you say you're OFF the market!
The FIRST 2 that come to MY mind (although I doubt EITHER would even CONSIDER me! MIGHT NOT even be willing to TALK to me!) are pKrema and Kaylana! BOTH are calm, reserved, intelligent, knowledgeable, and elegant! Outspoken, committed, pleasant and tactful, attractive, stylish! EMINENTLY eligible! But I DON'T THINK that most men are up to the challenge they both pose! Or THEIR standards, for that matter! JMO
Deedee123x: Bet it feels good to be getting out and about in much milder weather Deb..enjoy it
Yes i agree theres some real good ones here in fairness..and better still they are the ones who dont realise they are
2intrigued: This is sooooo true....gotta love a humble gentleman eh? laugh
Deedee123x: Theres nothing quite like it....laugh grin
I DON'T THINK I'm a good candidate! ANYBODY tackling ME would HAVE to be tolerant! But I'm SURE none of you consider ME humble! But I'm NOT the egocentric narcissist most of you probably THINK I am! Love you all!
M4_Mischief: Let...although he would need a woman who likes to talk just as much as he does.....
DeeDee: M4...not i think youve got it wrong...a woman who says nothing and just listens
Thanks, Ladies! But you're BOTH wrong! In person, I say very little! You just THINK I'm "talkative", because, HERE, when I DO enter a discussion, I DO give a MORE DETAILED reply than most! But NONE of you know HOW MANY post I read, but DON'T respond to! But M4, you're RIGHT in that I AM interested in finding a long term commitment/companion/friend/spouse! And I THINK I know what it takes, by way of work and attention to HAVE a happy, lasting relationship! But, HONESTLY, I'm sorta losing "hope" of finding her - HERE! But I'm OPEN to it/her, IF she shows up! Thanks!
Don't compete, M! Let "love" come to you! If you're open and receptive to it, it WILL find you! Maybe NOT in the form or style you WANT! Or EXPECT! But it WILL find you!
Nah! Your Challenger just AIN'T my cuppa! But here's a tidbit for you! You could ACTUALLY BUILD a NEW one of these, today! The Shelby Cobra was ACTUALLY an English car! An A. C. Bristol "Ace". And Carroll Shelby imported a bunch of rolling chassis from from the A.C. factory, in England. Stuffed a hi-po Ford 289 engines in them, beefed up the suspension, and beat the pants off of EVERYTHING in his class, in the SCCA! Eventually, he built models with larger engines. But they were ALL based on the A.C. Bristol "Ace". Now, as far as I KNOW, A.C. NEVER built a coupe, like you see in the picture! The way THESE came into being, is that Carroll Shelby converted some of his "Ace" convertibles into coupes! Which ended up lighter and with better aerodynamics! So they were even faster than the regular Cobras! But there's a VERY LIMITED number of these cars!
BUT, when A.C. went out of business, somebody brought the body dies for the "Ace"! And you can actually BUY a brand new steel "Ace" body, today! A rolling chassis, too. You'd have to modify the body to the "coupe" configuration! But hey! You COULDN'T TOUCH one of the ORIGINAL one of these, today, for under 2 mil! And THAT'S if it was RATTY! And needed a bunch of restoration! So, IF you have the bucks to CONSIDER one of these, you could BUILD ONE, cheaper than you could BUY one!
So step you fantasies UP a notch, M4! (Oh! For your info, this could beat ANY stock Challenger ever built, in the 1/4 mile! And on top end! PLUS, these handle better that Ferraris! Your Challenger would look like a Nash Metropolitan, up against one of these!
Well, I'm NOT saying I have a preference for the color! But there AREN'T a LOT of these around! And locating pictures isn't the easiest thing in the world! And I WAS in a hurry!
By the way, I DIDN'T mention it, in telling what it was. But these babies top out around 350 kilometers per, and will outhandle anything that's NOT track prepared! They'll run ANY street Porsche or Ferrari into the ground!
Oh! Maybe I should mention what this is! I thought the picture would say! This is a 1966 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, powered by a ford engine. So, like I said, mechanical parts are available EVERYWHERE! Enjoy! LOOK! But DON'T LEAN on my baby!
One of these would be nice! I don't do much off-roading, anymore. And I've ALWAYS been "into" sports cars. (My first car was an 1959 Austin Healey 100/6, in 1966.) And THIS one, I could see to my own work (which IS have the fun of owning something like this.) New cars are all electronics and plumbing. And I don't know enough about those, to be able to maintain it, myself. THIS, I could get parts for, quickly, almost anywhere in the world (except body parts).
ALL relationships (of ANY kind) break up MOSTLY because of things that CAN BE REDUCED to one issue. "Loss of interest." The partners IN the relationship lose INTEREST IN the relationship, and no longer give it the necessary ATTENTION that ALL relationships REQUIRE, in order to be maintained!
If you'll THINK about it, ALL relationships are established by the investment of a lot of time and attention, to the parties involved, by the parties involved! Once there's no longer sufficient interest to motivate the attention that created the relationship, to maintaining the relationship, the significance of the relationship will diminish, to the point where the quality of the relationship matches the attention that the partners give the relationship. No attention? No relationship! Little attention.? Little, insignificant relationship! MUCH attention? An IMPORTANT, VIBRANT relationship!
The duration and quality of a relationships bears a DIRECT - 1 to 1 - relationship to the amount of time and energy put INTO it! And "time and energy" translate DIRECTLY into "attention"! Your question is REALLY a pretty simple one. ALL relationships - L-O-N-G, or short - break down because the people IN them lose the interest IN/motivation TO maintain them! And that IS MOST NOTABLE through/by observing the amount of time/energy/ATTENTION they invest in them. JMO
The SHORT answer is ME! Depending on HOW MUCH it was, I'd LIKE to buy a fairly large ketch, and spend the remainder of my life sailing around the world, meeting people and doing things I've never done or met before. And, if there was enough, I'd try to help out, when and where I could. Drilling wells for people. Getting them connected to the world, via web. Maybe teaching some agriculture. Maybe a small loan to start a food cart business for a woman trying to raise/feed her kids. Stuff like that. Doing good on a person to person basis. None of this MASSIVE one size fits all stuff.

WHO????? ME????
