I didn't meet my partner online.....but he is very handsome ....I don't care if I'm punching above or below my weight....what others think of us matters not one wit....we are just enjoying ourselves when we can meet...
My partner is just under an hours drive from me....that's even too far....I don't think I can handle the idea of a partner being a train plane and taxi ride away from me.
I think there is a beauty in death to a man/woman who has lived a full life...hopefully raised a loving family ...took every opportunity in life that was offered to them and live life like it was meant to.
Sadly those cases are in the minority...and most often it's met with pain.
My grandmother lived a full life...and she died of old age...nothing else...she just slipped away with her family around her...and as much as we were sad to see her go...she did live to a good age and that is something to be celebrated in a sense.
Because a lot of men have notions of grandeur and they like to have not just women but material possessions outside of their means....it also applies to women....
people always had this assumption that being goodlooking was something akin to being born lucky or rich....but for a lot it's a burden and I mean sincerely as people would brush them off as "having it all"...whatever that means...no one wants to hear a word out of a really good looking persons mouth....they are just to be admired...like some form of unicorn....
I'd like to think I would because once I have my family and chosen friends sorted out I doubt I'd be a millionaire. I only would splash out on a decent new Jeep every two years...and go on nice holidays.
There are those people who "have been around before" spirit's about them...I'm not one...sadly I've to learn everything from.scratch but it's as fun as it is painful.
RE: Are you punching above your weight?
Early days...but yes I'm lucky.....so is he though
