| What Do You Bring To The Table In A Relationship? Posted: 12/29/2007 7:44:01 AM | Over my short time here, I have made the effort to save a collection of thoughtful profiles that I liked and admired for the writer's elegant phrasings or for various other reasons. One lady opened her (old) profile like this, which I thought might be relevant to this thread:
We each bring different things into a relationship, but none more important than the intentions in our hearts...
By the way, yoodle, if you are reading this, I know you have successfully rewritten your profile in large part, but I enjoyed reading the old one very much. It showed your vulnerabilities in an appealing way... but I'm speaking from a woman's perspective, and I understand that what I find interesting and attractive might not be what works with the opposite sex. :) | |

... cash + flawless credit rating ... no debt ... a full head of hair and all my own teeth ... a great big stupid grin ... a really cool motorcycle ... praticality, pragmatism ... boundless affection ... the ability to lift heavy stuff ... humour, integrity, compassion | |

| What Do You Bring To The Table In A Relationship? Posted: 12/29/2007 8:04:04 AM | I won't slump over into my bowl of gruel during a feeding. I've never poked my own eyes out with a spork. I'm regular in the fibre sense. Two of everything down the side and one of everything down the middle. Drooling doesn't make me less of a person dammit !
Whatever. If somebody wants me for anything but what they can see and hear then I'm not interested in them anyway. We all have our priorities and dispositions. We're happier apart if I'm expected to be a walking statistical model. | |

| What Do You Bring To The Table In A Relationship? Posted: 12/29/2007 8:12:59 AM | Hmm. A frequent smile, a sharp memory for dates, a corny sense of humor, a love of college football, the occasional moments of childlike innocence, surprising courage, a hidden intellectual nature, the ability to cook, physical affection, willingness to compromise, stark honesty, foot-in-mouth syndrome, excellent prioritizing skills, open life, open heart, open book.
On the other hand, I can be suspicious, an excellent people-reader, superstitious, dorky, clumsy. When I have a bad day, I get dramatic about 'one more thing' going wrong. I usually bite back a lot of my comments, etc.

I also bring a rather ardent interest and some talent in the bedroom. But that's neither here nor there. | |

Those intentions contain the potential for great joy or great pain.
Too bad humans don't have a Governmentally required "Intentions Label" like a can of soup does. Perhaps we take our soup more seriously then our relationships??

| What Do You Bring To The Table In A Relationship? Posted: 1/1/2008 4:50:50 PM | I'm only crabby before my first cup of coffee; I don't keep accounts; I bake an amazing loaf of bread and a terrific fruitcake; I can butcher a deer; I'm pretty GIB; I like men; I don't fight; I listen well; I'm clear and non-judgmental in presenting my needs; I don't expect my mate to meet all of my needs; I play well with others; I'm an optimist; I believe in love.
w00t! | |

| What Do You Bring To The Table In A Relationship? Posted: 1/4/2008 7:30:57 PM | What I bring:
- Total honesty. - Worshipfulness of your body. - Very funny. - Odd quirks, that are endearing. (Or so ive been told) - Understanding to a ridiculous degree. Not generally considered helpful, since if I know how you think and you're deluding yourself it just pisses you off. But i think its an asset. ^_^
Thats all I got off the top of my head. | |

I've been told that I'm interesting, funny, intriguing, and cute. Is that enough for starters? Well, too bad if it's not - I don't want to toot my own horn (which I've been guilty of doing in the past). | |

| What Do You Bring To The Table In A Relationship? Posted: 1/4/2008 8:07:21 PM | Well it would depend what sort of table? If its a sexual wooden table my advice would b never be on the bottom because splinters in the butt really hurt. If its a friendship table, id bring the wisdom of knowing myself well, therefore i can get to know you well. Id be loyal. id listen, id advise, Id be honest, Id hug you/hold you, Id inspire you to live your dream, Id bring courage, Id watch your back. Id be the woman you could trust totally with your man or best mate. Id be fun. Id bail you out but id give you a lecture on responsibility. Now if it was a romantic table,,hmmm id bring candles..clean hands a smile..nice food. manners..soft music..nice wine and a few beers. If it was a family table,, I would bring unity, respect of your culture/family traditions. respect your elders and wait until the kids were happily settled into part of it all with food , conversation. just spent christmas with a swedish background family, the tradition of a shot of vodka then eat fish, was interesting.. im not much into spirits, and eventually started calling the vodka herring. NOMORE HERRING PLEASE. If It was a relationship/man/woman table Im abit rusty. I would be your friend first and hopefully your best friend, so respect, compassion integrity,, fun, fairness. IL get back on the man /woman table ive got alot to learn.. smiles/peace | |
