| Why are you so special?
Posted: 6/29/2008 9:28:19 AM | I'm extremely special in many ways: by genetic coding - blue eyes, red hair & freckles (all usually dominanted features) but I tan oh so nicely; by beating the odds - have grown past full cardiac arrest & a massive stroke; as a parent - know the most beautiful young man, I call son (who has given me two of the most precious little girls to love); & in love - have met that man who truly is perfect for me in all ways (don't mind his baggage & he doesn't mind mine, although they aren't a matching set).
My mom always said that each freckle is where I have been kissed by an angel - I think she's right... life is good.

Posted: 6/29/2008 9:43:26 AM | i think if you go looking for the perfect person that will meet all your requirements .then you may look for some time!!
but its nice to find a person you can be happy with , and can be happy with you , despite the differences........
wot makes me special? i m willing to be happy!!, but still realise there is always a price to pay!!

Posted: 6/29/2008 3:21:16 PM | So that's how you view the point of life and a persons worth - to just get married and settle down for the rest of your life as soon as possible? You jumped to conclusions.
A sentence ending in a question mark is not a conclusion...
My point is that a great deal of people who are loyal and monogamous and thrive on stable relationships are allready taken after they have reached a certain age. thus decreasing what is left for those who are like minded.
Which implies that you think that those who are left unattached are cheating, untrustworthy and full of "baggage".
And you seriously feel the need to defend something like that as not being complete and unmitigated garbage?
Generally speaking, there are two people in a relation. Now if a relationship falls apart because one person wasn't loyal, then doesn't that sort of leave another person left over who (probably) is loyal? Unfortunately I didn't do A-Level maths, but by my reckoning that makes a 50/50 split - one loyal person dumped back into the dating pool, and one not-so loyal.
And that's assuming that the supposed relationship fell apart because someone wasn't "loyal" (which is not the case all the time). And it's also assuming that the "not-so loyal" person will turn out to be not-so loyal in their next relationship as well, which - again - is an unfounded generalisation.

Posted: 6/29/2008 4:03:44 PM | Geordie Colin, you KNOW why I am special lol. The point so many have made about we are all unique etc is a good point, but I really am special and I know it!! Yes it is true that not many others can see it but that is there loss not mine. Your comments about most of the desirable, steadfast, loyal and true ones being taken is not strictly true either. Not all of us singletons are cheats or low lifes. I am single, never married but that is by choice. There was a comment earlier about accepting someone that isn't perfect but along the lines of will do. Sod that for a game of soldiers mate. I want the best, I deserve it because I am bloody worth it, yeah I may never get it but I reckon it's better to remain single and true to myself than settle for something mediocre. Why settle for a bag of maltesers when I can have thorntons deluxe?? I believe I am special and worth someone who can appreciate me and what I have to offer. Therefore why the hell would I settle for less than I believe I am worth?
P.S. I have absolutely nothing against maltesers...honest! | |

Posted: 6/29/2008 4:05:29 PM | Just because we're single (again) doesn't mean we're not special, or loyal or family oriented. For some of us it may have been a case of 'shit happens.' Just because a previous partner has not realised what a gem they have lost, it doesn't mean that no-one else will recognise that gem in the future.
TBH, I'm pretty resigned to being single for the foreseeable future, there's not been a mutual spark with anyone for a long, long while. Not that I'm moaning. I still think single (and mildly pissed off with it) is preferable to in a relationship that isn't working. On the other hand, it's also not a good as being in a relationship that knocks your socks off. | |

Posted: 6/30/2008 1:33:25 AM | i think the point is here, that if you dont like yourself, why do you expect someone else to?
Everyone is entitled to happiness but i dont think youl find it if you dont think you deserve it
when we were all babies we were all adored and loved and specail, why should we look at ourselves any differntly to what we were then? | |

Granted.To re-answer -no.Im simply stating that its obvious that those who hold firm the belief that life long commitment and loyalty are there goal have successfully found what they want.thus reducing whats available to those finding themselves single when they are 30 something +.Of course theres many who have divorced,but the pool isnt as full for 30 somethings.
Which implies that you think that those who are left unattached are cheating, untrustworthy and full of "baggage".
And you seriously feel the need to defend something like that as not being complete and unmitigated garbage?
Yes,i do think that what is left in the singles market of over 35s is a lot of people who no longer have faith or believe or want to commit to a long term relationship.Isnt that born out by the many types of search criteria that is being used in this site?
Generally speaking, there are two people in a relation. Now if a relationship falls apart because one person wasn't loyal, then doesn't that sort of leave another person left over who (probably) is loyal?

I would not refute the statement above.

And it's also assuming that the "not-so loyal" person will turn out to be not-so loyal in their next relationship as well, which - again - is an unfounded generalisation.
Again i would not refute your statement above.
Im simply pointing out the bare fact that the older we get and looking for someone longterm the less chance we are of finding it without making ourselves unhappy due to too many compromises in what we expect. | |

Posted: 6/30/2008 2:54:39 PM | surely its not for the individual to decide they are special? that is for others to do not to mention sooooooo special.
like yourself, love yourself but dont think others will share your opinion.
Im comfortable with myself and that will do for me. | |
