I wouldn't call that being mean, but being inconsiderate is more like it. Did he run you down? Yell at you? Order you around? Did he call you names? Or did he just not pay for his share? I suppose being inconsiderate can be viewed as mean. But when I thnk of "mean" I think of those other things I mentioned.
Hi Deb. That is a very good question...one that needs thought. I firmly believe your success in finding the "right" person for one's self is directly related to how well you know yourself. I think for the most part, a lot of people act on instinct. They know what they like and how they act when in love, but can't identify why or how it happens.
For me, it starts with the looks. But once I find a woman attractive, I'm off to discover how she thinks. Through simple conversations, one can tell how a person thinks. And how that person thinks, is how that person lives. For those that are still in a relationship, they agree that they don't like everything about their partner, but the good out weighs the bad. It's expected that no one is perfect. But being older and single, there are things that we "choose" not to accept. Not that it is detrimental to a relationship, but something we would rather not deal with in life. I think for me, I'd need to come to terms with those type of things. It's not like we just got out of high school and are starting fresh. Can't help but pick up bad experiences the longer one lives, but I think that's where the battle lies....to be able to accept the things about someone that has nothing to do with the relationship directly.
I'm not talking about meeting someone and it's obvious she/he isn't the one. I'm talking about reaching that point of "yes, it's all there but this one little thing...". People one time made allowances for each other and accommodating the other person for the sake of a relationship they were in. I don't find that often any more. Seems there is a price tag on everything people do for one another....or other expectations.
Looks attract me, her personality keeps me. A lot of guys think looks are the top thing when looking for the "right" partner. But there is so much more than her looks for me to be satisfied. And I'm sure she would feel the same. Ya, Liebez is a hottie for sure, but then again, i don't know her personality that well. And that is the clincher for me. Veritaas is a hottie also. A lot are on here. But do you actually think people stayed together for many years because of their looks?
Well, I don't take any site serious, but I do take looking for the right woman for me serious. I am on a couple dating sites and I have the great outdoors. The thing with me is, I'm in no hurry to make a mistake and I have actually thought about what I need (as an individual) and what I need to give into a relationship. I don't need to "play the field" sorta speak.
You are where you were born. You say you lived in Canada for 25 years...so? Doesn't make you more Canadian than a leopard sharing the same field as a lion for years, suddenly becomes a Leon. I'm not saying the system is perfect, but far from the picture you all are painting. Our health system works far better for the majority than the American system.
I live here and see it in action everyday. You do not. You really should learn to take your own advise. And contrary to what you may think, I'm not trying to impress anyone on here...specially you. Lol...this site is not the Site to end all Sites.
Sorry to burst your bubble again, but we are in a MUCH better financial position that you all are. The problem with America is that they see nothing wrong in anything they do...unless it's a Gov that wants to bring good change. Also, a good portion of America uses our energy....talk about being ungrateful.
