| Do you know what exactly what you want from life now?
Posted: 8/12/2009 9:07:05 AM | When I was young I wanted a nymphomaniac that owned a liquor store and a boat...and I didn't care about the boat or the liquor. When I got older, she didn't have to be a nympho, just good looking...and it had to be a liquor store and not just a beer & wine.
Now ....... well, I don't need the liquor store, but .... the bigger she is, the bigger the boat has to be.

Posted: 8/12/2009 9:25:46 AM | Oh, I KNOW I will NOT be the same at 80 (if I make it that far) as I am now. Exercise helps, but it's getting increasingly difficult to keep my weight under control. High LDL cholesterol will most likely kill me.
I just want life to be easy-!
I want to be with a woman who is extremely playful, openly sexual and enjoys sex with me, with no hangups, and is openly articulate about her sexual desires. It's unrealistic to expect such a woman to be monogamous, so I won't force that issue, but I'll try to do my part to give her extreme pleasure so that she has no reason to stray, and, if I like her, I won't stray myself.
I want enough money to live on comfortably and save for someday without killing myself with stress and hard work...I want to do work that I enjoy and am good at, which is generally the case...just need more OF it...and that hopefully makes some small difference in the world or at least in my community.
I don't have plenty of money now, and, unless I make a major career change, that's only going to get worse, because inflation and the cost of living will continue to climb. Trying to figure out what else I'd like to do for a career--I'm looking.
Even if we have plenty of money now, as we've seen, given a good economic recession, everything can crash, and we can lose it all, or at least a good portion of it, so hopefully we've spread our money around to various types of investments so we didn't get hurt too bad. I've always believed in diversification, not putting all my eggs in one basket. I worked hard at a high-stress job for 5 years in the hopes that the company would continue to grow and expand...sadly, it didn't happen...the company went out of business and I was laid-off. Now I free-lance, which has its share of ups and downs, but I'm never COMPLETELY out of work like I was then.
If my soulmate dies before I do...I already went through this. My brother was very much my soulmate; we connected on so many levels in our conversations (even sex). Without getting it on with each other, we were about as close as two human beings could be, and were totally at peace with each other, no matter our weirdness. He died of cancer two years ago at the tender age of 40. I was beyond devastated. It truly was the end of a great era. We had so much more to learn together about life and from each other. All those thought processes were cut short.
After stewing in grief and misery for a solid 6 months, I realized, shy as I was, I needed to be more socially proactive, so I did, and continue to be. I'm braver now than I've ever been in my entire life, physically, emotionally, in every way. That is how I'll be next time my next mate dies too. We have to scrape ourselves off the pavement, dust ourselves off, and get back into the game...or we die too. | |

Posted: 8/12/2009 9:29:31 AM | I'm 60 and my soul still feels like a 30 year old. I've never aged once I matured.
I still want my nest to be my safe haven .... and I am somewhat better at accomplishing that.
I still want to go out and adventure ... and I have done and plan on keep doing a lot of that.... to 'get up and go' to live. Hence one of my themes songs is "I hope You Dance' and another is "unwritten"
I still want to be of service to society ... to care ... and I live that daily and most of the time love it.
I want to keep improving my spiritual life ... so I have a spiritual discipline and I practice my spiritual discipline daily.
I want to keep loving life and the people in it as I do today ... and that is a choice I continue to make.
I've been poor and I've been rich ... had homes and not ... had health and not ... and learned that being happy is a choice to accept reality and get on with living. And I will continue to be happy. | |

Five years ago I knew exactly. And now I'm back at clueless. I'm most often on a five-year-plan. Five years single, five years not, and so on. So I suppose maybe I do know exactly what I want out of life: another five years.  | |

Good question as when Jack Palance was asked by Billy Crystal in 'City Slickers' in what is that one thing that makes it oh so good. Peace of mind and putting everything else in harmony!lol
imo, the quality of life starts with family ,in goals, your aspiration's, a good foundation,substance, as the apple does not fall from the tree.
Beside the obvious things in a good life,I always had that wanderlust to travel, for pleasure and visit friends all over this great land of ours is on my bucket list.
To live and enjoy the quality of life. and when the quality of life is over then you can pull the plug on this old Marine! lol | |

Posted: 8/15/2009 4:15:22 PM | Well I have already done the death of a spouse deal next time I want to go first. lol
Yes I know this is incredibly selfish.lol well what can I say I'm not perfect.
I want to reach and extend my reach to as many people that I can in my field of practice while still doing the best job I can.
I want to grow old laughing with my kids and grandbabies
I want to dote over some old geiser that still looks cute after he is drooling his cereal down his face.
I want to plant my garden with someone else and watch it grow and then reap the rewards when we are sitting on the front porch talking about the good ole days. | |

Posted: 8/16/2009 8:10:43 AM | | Still defining my needs but I do realize that the older I get the fewer things I need. Simplify, less is more seems to be the theme. Great sons, strong family, great friends and a reason to smile everyday. | |

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:23:36 AM | | No I don't know exactly what I want from life ~ I do know that I have certain things in my life that I have to work on so that I can move towards continuing to stay happy. The biggest thing right now is being afraid to respond/reply/reach out to those whose profiles seem to match what I'm interested in - in the guys who viewed me. The postive thing for me is that I'm still a part of POF.....working on it | |

Posted: 8/31/2009 6:14:20 PM | | married more years of my life than not, I must like marriage. I keep trying...but my fourth attempt has left me skeptical and a little jaded. They all say they want me to be happy but the first time things don't go their way they head for the hills. If I was rich instead of so damned good looking I wouldn't have to run to the damn alter. I guess what I want is money....happiness is not possible without it. right? | |

Posted: 8/31/2009 9:15:06 PM | My goals seem simple, but, as with all life-goals, we sometimes walk a hard road to actualize them.
I want good health. I want as much love as I can give and get and I want joy to pour down on me. I won't list any physical, i.e. business, goals. I have changed the circumstances of my life before and would do so again in a minute, if I spied a direction that would cause the light to shine still brighter in my life. | |

Posted: 8/31/2009 9:50:01 PM | I have the direction, if not the specifics. I am blessed in my life
* In my twenties I wanted power, career, money. Got that, but without love it had a hollowness to it.
* In my thirties I had the gift of my daughter, and she effortlessly reordered all of my life's priorities. All I asked for my thirties and forties was to meet the awesome responsibility of launching this human being in the right way. I changed my career and my outlook and got my life out of it. She's 17 now, with the big chunk of my job *mostly* done and I'm pretty pleased with how I managed it. At this stage it looks like I've met my goal: "do no more damage to her that it wouldn't take her any more than a decade of therapy to undo", LOL
* I had one major love that didn't work out. On the cusp of 50, I have found love. Real love with a good man who fits me better than I ever imagined would be possible. >> I would like whatever time I have with him to fully experience this loving. | |

Posted: 8/31/2009 10:22:26 PM | Love ...not for the sake of being in love but someone who understands that it doesnt just happen...it takes work and communication and above all honesty even if it means they dont like what you have to say or do.
Passion...not just with someone but in every aspects of our lives together.
Laughter cause I just love the way it feels to laugh.
Out of the current situation Im in but that takes time. | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 6:39:44 AM | | After my last relationship, I've got a good idea what I want and don't want from life. Home ownership, parenthood, and sex are all out. What I want is my nice reasonably-priced one-bedroom apartment, enough time and money to take vacations, attend sci-fi and anime conventions, watch DVDs, read books, etc., and ideally someone to sometimes share those things with me, in an affectionate but non-sexual relationship. | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 6:02:11 PM | | There's not much left that I want from life. Things and money don't mean much. I just want to keep doing my job that I enjoy, spending time outdoors camping and enjoying nature as I've always done. I want to spend my final years showing my children that I AM a good man, as I've always tried to be. I just want to leave them with wonderful memories that they will look back on when they reach my age, just as my parents left me with. | |

Just think about it because you know damn well deep down inside. You won't be blowing off this question if you are real with yourself.
actually i think it's damned easy to be blowing off this question and i'm damn real with myself. i'm sure because all my life i've tried to not worry with how things are at the present and focus on how things will be five or ten years down the road. called it, "planning ahead for the future". but guess what? the future never happens. when i did reach that time down the road it nowhere near resembled what i'd invisioned. and of course the past i can do nothing about. the only thing i have control over are my actions at this very moment. sure, i still try to be thrifty, eat well, get some excercise so that my future will have a chance to be as fruitful and long lasting as possible. but that's just it isn't it? it's all a matter of chance.
i've learned a number of years ago to keep one goal in mind when i make choices each day. and that is that i'm determined never to be laying on my death bed wishing i'd done this or seen that. seize the day folks. it's the only thing you have control over. | |
