well first off that would depend on what the "brush with the law" was. if it was something minor than i say pppfff!! who HASN'T had some kind of dealings with the law in some way, shape, or form? if it was something major... it would just have to depend on what it was exactly that put them up as a target for cops or anyone of the like.
but even still that wouldn't mean anything in the end if it wasn't a big deal. i couldn't shut someone out for something small like that. we're all human. we all make mistakes and it's okay just so long as we learn from them.
now someone straight outta PRISON???? NOOOOO SIR!!! i'll pass on that one. i don't need a girlfriend/wife who's manlier than me and tries to stab me with a random household object if i didn't agree with her that her hair matched her shoes.
i might one day be a cop and i'd rather leave that sort of thing at work! lol
i totally hear you! i've gone out with a girl like that before and it wasn't really her fault as she was victim of a thyroid disfunction where she'd eat about a fraction of what i did but her weight didn't go anywhere despite how much she worked out!
for one thing. i could never go with a girl who ---> all the time! that's not only unhealthy but it's just wrong and nasty in every way!
and yes, facial features and a great personality are what's really important regardless of what they look like physically.
of course it is! i look for personality and the inner beauty myself but i do find that i am more often attracted to curvy women with beautiful faces too! it may sound shallow to some but that's not even it! a great personality chemistry can go a long way with someone for me to be attracted to them!
but i think everyone has some sort of preference and i'm curious to see which body type is the most sought after.
i would hug her and reassure her but i'd make it a point to always be the one driving so long as i could help it. i wouldn't go and say "you can never drive again" but i would make it a point to let me drive from then on so long as we could help it.
then we'd both go and get stone drunk and laugh our asses off about it!
it's not that i would shy away from it because of the level of responsibility but because when i have my first child i want it to be BOTH our first child so that we can be able to share that happiness together having had our first child together.
well i can't speak for anyone other than myself so i will say that i would marry overseas because i have heard way too often that a lot of countries out there are still good and honorable and still maintain morals and traditions and aren't spoiled by things many american girls are spoiled by.
it is said that a woman needs unconditional love to feel truly happy and a man needs unconditional respect to be happy but i think the concept of love and respect is lost in the united states as well as the utter disregard for morals and traditions and that goes on both sides of the coin.
it's no wonder why men would go to the OCONUS (Outside the Continental US) for happiness.
marriages that are failed are failed because the ones involved in that marriage either rushed into it or made one poor decision after another
i, for one, refuse to rush into marriage. i don't mind an engagement if i think it feels right but i wouldn't marry until i have lived with her for AT LEAST a year or more because what better way to find out if marriage is the right step to take than to live together because you never truly know a person until you live with them.
to me a family is a group of people who are there for each other and take care of each other during the hardest of times and are willing to be with each other through the thick and the thin.
despite how much they get on your nerves you still love them and vise versa.
same with me. i know better than to take the advice of some of my family members especially in areas they should not be giving advice about to begin with.
my family is my family. i love them but they are not my crutch. financial or anything because lets face facts people. dysfunctional is the only type of family that exists and you gotta love it! lol
i think that if we do away with tobacco companies we would easily be able to do away with this economical situation we are currently in and tobacco addiction is only in the persons head.
i know because i started smoking when i was 12 years old and i smoked all the way until i was 18. then i was smoke free for three years before i started back up again because of boredom and stress.
now i've been absolutely smoke free for over a year without the slightest craving because i've learned to channel my stress away from smoking and i don't feel the need or the want to ever pick up another cigarette.
some say too soon to make such judgement but i guess only time will tell on that one huh?
you know there are countries who eat their excess of unwanted children?
very irrelevant to the question at hand BUT i do say this:
everyone one on earth has a right to have children if they want it just like they have the right to refuse wanting kids no matter what the reason may be.
but then you have the issue of unwanted pregnancies and things like that so that truly does complicate things.
i think people, once they reach puberty, should be given some psychological evaluation to determine their mind set as for bearing children, a well as other things and those deemed unfit for procreation should at the very least have their tubes tied (in both males AND females) to prevent unfit people from having unwanted pregnancies.
the reason i say tie the tubes and not cut them is because maybe somewhere down the line they may change and be more fit for raising young ones!
i think that's the best way to handle the situation... especially if it's on a first date regardless of how much you like each other the fact of the matter is either he, she, or both of them can't make up their minds and he needs to figure out what he needs to do without dragging you into it.
as for robbie
PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!
you gotta be serious man! here's a teddy bear! lol!
unless you don't already have children then you should probably accept it as being over, consider yourselves lucky and do yourselves and each other a favor and end it.
i know this for a fact from personal experience because my best friend in high school was a very beautiful girl 2 years younger than me and though everyone around us thought that there was something going on between us there, in fact, was not. for one to say that a plutonic friendship to exist between man and women is ignorance rearing it's ugly head.
RE: Would you ever date someone who has been to prison or had a run in with the law?
well first off that would depend on what the "brush with the law" was. if it was something minor than i say pppfff!! who HASN'T had some kind of dealings with the law in some way, shape, or form? if it was something major... it would just have to depend on what it was exactly that put them up as a target for cops or anyone of the like.but even still that wouldn't mean anything in the end if it wasn't a big deal. i couldn't shut someone out for something small like that. we're all human. we all make mistakes and it's okay just so long as we learn from them.
