But I sort of agree here. The trick is to find someone who is your age but is young at heart. The best of both worlds, n'est ce pas? Now where is he.........
and…
It would be live life in a dark cave where 80% of me is missing. Strangers coexisting somehow. It might have been enough when I was 25. But its not now.
Yeah... stats, I love your sense of humour man, and thank you ladies for your superb consideration... now come and check out a hot spiritual guy before I close my curtains!  | |

SassyAquarius is beautiful all around...
I think you missunderstood what I typed since that was kinda what I was saying. I wasn't flaming in any way shape or form. I was actully attempting to compliment.
Outside looks tell me a lot about the inner as I happen to believe that one's inner state does reflect the outer state, to a degree. Does someone's eyes always look "sad"? Is their hair clean? How about the nails? Granted, there are always extenuating circumstances, but if a person continually looks dishevelled, it says to me that they aren't quite happy within their inner selves.
Ok I will explain this a different way than before in my attempt to help out in understanding.
I LOVE working on Cars. It is one of my passions. Like yesterday I spent the day taking out the rear axle housing and suspension out of a 71 Camaro. Old car covered in greese and grime.
As a direct result I was under it and became covered in grese and grime myself. In my hair and all. After doing so I could be seen in public (As many like me also end up doing) And someone with your form of thought would see someone like me out and about and likely think "Oh poor confused man just look at him with his hair all a mess and greese on his hands and under his nails, He truly must be a mess inside"
I am just comforatible in my own skin to not even care what someone else would think about me if they saw me out looking like that.
Most farmers ALSO would be covered from head to toe with grime. Your thinking would mean they are not happy in life. Most farmers are far more comfy with their life than several people that claim to be enlightened and spiritually stable in life.
If you ever met me on the street or even spoke to me in person you would never be able to tell what has,is,and will be going on in my mind. You likely would never be able to match my looks with my experiance and thoughts.
I am not the only one or a freak happening. I just like many ALSO like me are simply comforatable enough with our insides and our spirituality that we just plain do not care that much about what our outside apperance looks like.
These are just my opinions but I stated them so maybe you would understand that it doesn't matter how much you WANT to be able to tell what someone is like just from looking at them. You can't and never will be able to. It just plain dosen't work. | |

Posted: 12/23/2007 8:42:35 AM | I've come to realise that you just like to disagree no matter what is said.
If you look at my post, I salted it with a number of qualifiers, but you chose to not see them....
But, I guess I should've added that it is my opinion that if I see someone CONSISTENTLY who appears dishevelled, then there is a high probability their inner life is not so serene. Not some guy who has been working on his car that I see passing in the street, sheesh. Or a farmer. Sheesh. Get a grip.
Cheers, Raven | |

Oh for pete's sake... another one of these romantic/spiritual nay-sayers. Honestly some of you are so heavenly minded that you're no earthly good.
ROFL!! Yeahhh..I like that! Count me in! 
Anyway, looks attract me, but personality keeps me there | |

Yes I do CHOOSE to disagree many times. It is not however for anything that could be considered a gain. It is not like I get ANYTHING from doing so. It is not like I profit from other people by making them have to buy some book to see my opinions, studies, works.
ALSO if I didn't have a clue to what I was talking about in a real time setting I wouldn't say anything at all.
But I do. I don't have a certain list of a few friends and family to use to base my opinions on. They are based on the masses of people of many different races colors religions etc.
THAT is when you are granted the Data that can be used to state what is and what isn't.
I have done just that. By doing that without singling out a specific TYPE of person DOES grant me the ability to say. YOUR WRONG! YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT SOMEONE IS LIKE ON THE INSIDE BY THEIR OUTSIDE!
It never works not even SOME of the time. If that was not the case than that would mean all someone would have to do to convince you that they were fine inside is make sure they are clean and smiling all the time.
Well guess what.... Beautiful CLEAN people commit suicide TOO. Beautiful CLEAN people loose their mind TOO. If anything I would say that type are the most messed up inside. They are constantly attempting to impress everyone around them and constantly are worrying about what someone will think about them.
Am I disagreeing just to disagree?...... NO
I am just trying to help you by telling you that I already went down that road. I already did that study. I already examined that possibility and in doing so this was the result of that form of thought.... It IS FALSE.
Been there Done that. I never disagree in an attempt to dismiss yours or anyone else’s thoughts on it. I only wished to offer you the knowledge I already found regarding that.
You can either understand me enough to see that I am right to use my results to benefit your own path of understanding. OR Disagree and spend the next 10 years or so doing the same work that I already did to come to what will LIKELY be the same conclusion.
If anything you have it backwards. Someone the most happiest with themselves are some of the poorest, dirtiest, and messy people I have come across. They just don't care what anyone else thinks.
Think about it... Who is likely the worst inside someone ALWAYS trying to live up to someone else’s standards never quite measuring up or someone that is so comfortable in their own skin that they are able to CHOOSE their OWN standards for how they should be.
As for your statement of Get a grip...... How about you get some knowledge by actually doing the work instead of just sitting there thinking something is true or fact just because you THINK it might be and covering up that assumption by stating it as opinion.
Here is a tip. Spend some time in the morgues, public death records, follow-ups by talking to family and friends of people that committed suicide and or went on mass murder spree's.
They all LOOKED normal to the normal EYE. but their insides were in extreme turmoil because they couldn't live up to someone else’s standards. That has been the most common connection between EVERY case of the people that have gone postal so to speak.
Oh yeah these are just my opinions. They are not stated to mean exclusivity. They are simply stated this way to allow you the choice to disregard them or accept them and use them for understanding and /or growth in your knowledge utilising the research someone else already did to save you some time in your Journey to Understanding LIFE. | |

I haven't met any men that are compatible for me, and willing to go to church with me. Or to talk about God. The men are too stuck on themselves, to care about anyone other then themselves.. | |

I completely and totally agree with you! And I'm 100% sure you'll never find any man who is as hopelessly romanticly involved with God the way you are. | |

I mean… let’s face it… most of us if we weren’t single would be spending as much time as we do in this forum. (Maybe that’s why God put this forum in the plans…)
F*ck the forums... I'm only here because I'm lonely... If I had a significant other with me right now, I would be laying in bed right next to her (right now it's 9:30am on a Sunday Morning) LOL!
If I had a significant other, I would be out more (instead of spending time on the computer), and if we were on the computer, we would be playing a game together (maybe Warhammer LOL; God I miss those times...). All those evenings I spend online, I could be eating dinner with her and we'd be trying out every restaurant in town... (I miss those times too), we'd be sharing a bottle (or two) of wine, staying out for hours on end... Walks in the park at night under the moonlight... Dancing at the clubs... Random movies on a boring day... Cuddling in front of the TV... Ahhh.... I miss those times... But don't get me wrong, I don't miss "her" or "them" (no, I'm quite over most of them LOL). True, I am saving money, but... why work so hard if you don't have anyone but yourself to spend it on? Also, it's not like I'd be dating a gold digger; I'm sure my S/O would be paying half the time too.
I believe there is a spiritual significance of romance; it's something that makes you feel "alive" and it gives you more purpose in life. | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 10:35:06 AM | | Like anything or everything..it can be spiritual or mundane. With your mind completely in the moment, your heart open and your spirit awake...a simple sweet romantic gesture like coy smile with loving eyes can touch you to your very soul...and truly making love can be the highest form of meditation..where the oneness with another ,the moment and the Divine can be felt and shared. How beautiful love can be...but it also like everything on the edge of danger...the same romantic gesture can also be a front.. a well rehersed show for an ego looking for conquest..and this false love can truly break your heart. ( and we all fool ourselves as well )Give your body and soul to someone who just wants your body for their pleasure, to barter for other things or a trophy...At least as I get older, I truly realize what a rare experience and gift love is between lovers and want to savor it but only with someone who realizes the same. | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 4:17:19 PM | Ok so I'm listening to an old recording of Ella and Louis singing "They Can't take that away from Me"
and I think that the romanitic love experiences are like practice for the kind of caring that can indeed lead to a development of a truly altruistic kind of love that is only concerned with the needs of others.
"the way you've changed my liffeeeee
oh no they can't take that away from me...."

Posted: 1/17/2008 7:49:36 PM | we are here to learn life lessons. we often do that with our parteners. we are usually working on something.. it seems most often what we had with out parents. if you don't figure it out you'll be on to the next person with the same issues.. ever notice how you pick the same type of person. you attract those people to you. when you are alone try to work on yourself.. don't jump into something right away. conversely don't stay alone once you've been there awhile or to just date casually because you will never grow. you need that other person to learn from and they will teach you something as well. if you reflect on your past relationships -no matter how bad -you learned something about yourself. life IS short try to treat eachother well. love yourself and love others. that's really hard to do sometimes. did you hear my dean martin playing?? | |
