I think everyone is getting sick this week. Its going around, and not just in my town, but all over the country! Yesterday was my day, and still getting over it today.
There is only one main thing from my childhood that I miss...playing baseball with my brothers and their friends. You ever seen the movie "The Sandlot"? That was my neighborhood, and I was a tag-along sister. I miss when summer vacation meant 40+ hours a week playing ball, instead of 40+ hours a week working to save money for college.
I simply ask for respect and understanding. A guy that is not going to get jealous because almost all my friends are male, and knows that he can trust me. Someone I know I can trust. Other than that, someone that shares some common interest, but not everything the same...thats just boring. Someone who can spend a night away from me and enjoy it, not worrying what I am doing, and not flirting with random women.
Okay, being a female, I can honestly say that I dont think there is such a thing as "too nice". Too nice to me is when you cant tell the truth because you dont want to hurt someone's feeling and even then, its not "too nice", its being a coward! Be nice, but be honest, speak your mind!
Personally, I dont think there are too many things that turn me on or turn me off. However, a baseball hat is without a doubt a HUGE turn on for me. I dont know what it is, but a guy is guaranteed at least second look with a hat on. A turn off? Smoking, excessive drinking, being disrespectful (to anyone), and other things such as that.
Who says we dont? I guess I cant speak for every woman, for I am me, and I dont understand this gender of mine anymore than the next guy. Uh, anyway...I like a man in the military. It has nothing to do with looking good in uniform; in fact, I dont really find it attractive at all. Not that its a turn off, its just not something I see and say "Yeah, baby!" (not that I really ever say that anyway.) I am not very "go america" but I do support our troops. I have plenty of friends that are enlisted and an uncle who just retired (he was told to unless he wanted to go back over for another year or more). Being in the military would never be a reason that would make me think twice about being with a man. However, smoking/tobacco of any kind and excessive drinking would, and even though its a stereotype (I hate stereotpyes), I know that it holds true in some cases.
For most women, I think its the fact that they couldnt be a "military wife" or being afraid they will go off to war and get killed or something.
One main reason is because it is realistic that the man is going to die several years before the woman. However, I actually enjoy a few years older, but I am so sick of hearing from 30+. So why do men go for younger women?
I have heard different people want different things right off the bat. What do you think? Should two people start off as friends or jump into the relationship head on?
Personally, I enjoy being friends first, there is no pressure and you can be yourself with a friend. But this may go along with wanting a friendship-based relationship as well. I need to feel my man is one of my good friends, that we can talk and enjoy each other's company.
A lot of piercings can be a turn off, especially on the face or other areas. I personally think pierced ears (or just one ear) can be very attractive on most men.
I am certainly not against it. I dont see how race plays a factor in it, for me at least. I know a lot of people have different beliefs on this, but race is just another aspect of a person to stereotype, and I HATE stereotypes! My mom's sister married an African American, and even though I remmeber him being uncomfortable for a while, and my dad's parents having a hard time dealing with it...he is my favorite "inlaw" of them all, one of my favorite relatives, because of the kind of person he is. I look for what's inside, race and other appearances have no or little affect on me.
I consider myself a very strong woman. I have delt with a lot of life-experiences, even at a young age, and knew that to survive, I had to be independent and to know what I want and how to get it (motivation, determinism). However, to push guys into folding the laundry the right way...I would just be happy he is helping around, and what is the right way to fold laundry? I grew up with my dad barely doing the "man's work" without being pushed (such as mowing the lawn, raking leaves, fixing things that are broken), and to have someone help out would make me happy. As the other example you gave, pushing him to take the promotion he isnt ready for, how stupid is that? I would want to be supportive in whatever he wants, whatever makes him happy. If he took it and it meant more hours, more stressful work...as long as I knew he was happy, I would be there for him. If he wasnt ready to take it on, then he knows what he wants and hes not doing his job for the money. Relationships (friends or romantic) are about caring and helping each other, not molding the perfect companion!
