What is it that ignites your original desire in someone? Lust? Money? Looks?
If you eventually get into a relationship with that person how would you maintain that spark?
So I have been in a Zoom dance party and this woman that I have never met is driving me crazy with her dance moves and choice of song requests to the host. We texted a few times while in the Zoom party but never offline. Am I crazy?
I will take it that your age is correct, but your profile says you are looking for males 18-99. Is that false advertisement? What would you do with an 18 year old male?
I am not picking on you only pointing out how easy it is to promote things that makes us go
I did not know accountants are square but I have also not met a round one.
I think the changes in norm is mucking up relationships. I am not quite sure of this, but it appears that the gamut of missteps that men can make nowadays is proportional to the number of things women are allowed as their prerogatives. As some previous comments have demonstrated there is a fine line between what is protection and what is control, and it seems like it depends on the woman's feelings from day to day and maybe who the judge will agree with.
I would take it that a man in a committed relationship should have some expectations of what his partner will or will not do in order for him to tell himself that the relationship is strong and ongoing without him having to resort to controlling behavior.
The OP had a valid thread and it would help if she stuck around to provide more feedback. Some threads are based on personal experience or thoughtful topics. The roles of men and women are changing. A man can be protective or controlling based on his personality, and some women may have their own perceptions about these.
I am sure things would look different if the man in a relationship is an accountant while his partner was an FBI agent who always carry a Glock. Would there still be issues of protection and control?
Some of these issues are questions of law. If I am having a 'fight/argument' with my significant other (SO) over something which may or may not be her fault and she decides to 'walk out' at two am in the morning in a blinding snowstorm, what do I do? If I try to stop her it's classified as confinement, but if I let her go and something happens to her it may be said I was not protecting her.
Maybe if we switch the focus a little.. What do men need/want women for?
We seem to have lost the roles played by both genders over centuries and we have to adapt to that. While we have to adapt, I as a man still want to be in a relationship with a woman for various reasons, because there are still things females are better at than I will ever be.
A compatible couple will achieve much more than one person on their own.
One can be poor and free: the homeless person or unemployed does not have to get up early in the morning to go to work or get stressed out working two jobs to make ends meet.
