What women are looking for in men.

I have to concur with Aceofspace.

Everybody has his own preferences.: we have freedom of choices. Some are givers and some are takers, Some have no balance and overgive or overtake.
What is good for me is not necessarily good for somebody else. I know my weaknesses and I know what I need at this moment in time: that's all. It is my bottom line at this point in time, not everybody else's.

I love everybody but I only commit to one and the One needs to be a pretty good match, at this point in time. I have tons of friends whom I love, but I would not want to be in a relationship with them. And when I say "relationship" you should know what I mean. One can relate to the world with love and be socially responsible; but whom I pick as my companion for life is only my choice and nobody, that hasn't been in my shoes, has the right to judge my individual choice.

Clear enough?

Plus, Socalibob: didn't you see that I put moral character as a condition for marriage? Do you think that I would require it, without being able to give it myself?

You have over-reacted. I might have hit your weak spot ( sorry, how did I know?)
They often tell me that I am too direct: must be my weak spot.

If you show whom you are, you don't have to worry about lying or being phony, out of superficial politeness. In being truly oneself, one takes the risk of being disliked ( and often, misunderstood). After all, we can't expect everybody to like us.......it would really mean that nobody really likes us ( just being paradoxical).

We are individual with a global consciousness, but still individuals. We should cherish each other, without pre-judging. Opinions are just opinions, not universal truths.

I was perceived in a way it wasn't intended, Solicabob.

Actually ForumBloom, I didn't judge you and I think maybe I hit a weak spot and maybe you were overly defensive about my questions. I did judge what Ace wrote and expressed my judgments openly for him to clarify. As for you, like I pointed out earlier, I asked you the same questions I have asked myself regarding love and what happens down the line if disability hits? I think they were valid questions which pertain to the nature of strength of body and mind and what happens when the ones we love no longer have that. I didn't say that you didn't have the right to your choices or preferences, that was not even an issue. Please explain why it was wrong of me to ask in depth questions about things which happen to millions of people around the world? I think the "what if" questions were totally in line with your post. Difficult questions but not judgmental ones as I inferred nothing. When I asked you if you would leave someone after ten years of marriage if they were to become weak I wasn't saying that it's something you would do, I was seriously curious what you would do and how you would feel in a situation like that. In other words, it's one of those, "what do you do if life throws you a curve ball?" questions. My questions were not accusations.

Plus, Socalibob: didn't you see that I put moral character as a condition for marriage? Do you think that I would require it, without being able to give it myself?

I don't know you. I don't know how you define moral character. Hence, the questions.

We are individual with a global consciousness, but still individuals. We should cherish each other, without pre-judging. Opinions are just opinions, not universal truths.

And that is all I was asking for, your opinions. I didn't prejudge what your answers would be

I was perceived in a way it wasn't intended, Solicabob.

You weren't perceived in any way. I don't know you which is why I was asking for you to share your thoughts and feelings on a matter. If I knew you and perceived you in a certain way, I wouldn't have bothered with the questions. I don't waste my time asking people questions if I think I already have the answers. You assumed I prejudged you. You assumed I perceived you in a certain way. They were merely questions which took your post a step further.

I'm pretty blunt. If I wanted to judge you and insult you and put you down I would have done so in a way which would have been blatant and much more direct. I would have gone for the jugular.

"what do you do if life throws you a curve ball?"

You roll with it, if you can. You have to be in the situation to know if you can handle it or not. There are no pre-determined answers. If a curve ball comes at me, I will take it as it comes. But if I have a choice of the ball, I will pick the one the best fits my preferences.

Strength is a matter of attitude mainly, not of outside appearances.

I thought you were calling me "wench" for the time being?

I am looking for men who are consistent.


Listen, Wench.

If I want to call you by your nickname, I will!

Now, I'm not really a beer 'n sammich kinda guy, but you can bring me a double
shot of wheatgrass any time!

No Trix, I'm a ballplayer from way back (boys, get your minds out of the gutter right now) Anyway, when you are thrown a curve ball, you take the pitch, and wait for the fast ball down the middle and hit it out of the freaking park! At least that's what my boys do.

Euw.

On your advice I tried the shots of wheatgrass juice. Aside from the lovely side effect of giving me the immediate urge to purge, it did not one thing for my energy level.

I have managed to wean myself from energy drinks after two weeks of heinous headaches from the detoxification process.

The Mominatrix does not play ball. She plays hockey and fights with an epee. Throw a ball at me and I will run you through.

Probably a wise move Trix, but I am also wondering if this is some crazy kind of foreplay!


Oh! I love wheat grass by the way. Once you get past the really really green of it, it's actually very sweet and refreshing. Especially if you have a chaser of citrus!

I'm looking for a man who doesn't drink healthy drinks like wheatgrass or carrot juice or any other kind of rabbit food puree.

Wench...

Is an epee like an Epilady?
I think that is my favorite idea of torture... hair removal one square inch at a time!

Nads, the green monster from HELL! Used it on my chest. Thought I was having a heart attack. And boozing it up before to kill the pain doesn't help. Imagine getting a hard candy, getting it wet, and putting it on a hairy arm and twisting the candy in the hair of the arm, let it dry and then pull the candy and yank out the hair. Yeah, Nads is like that but only have the fun.

I hate Nads. It's much less painful to simply shave your nads.

I'm with you, Bobby! Tequila, of course! But you would condone some rabbit like behavior, wouldn't you?

I hear you, which is why I love my esthetician...very quick, and little agony.

Nads totally suck, waxing is much less grief. If you like that, try threading!

Well, to start this conversation is like opening pandoras box...but since it's open here it goes.

The first think I look for is follow through in a man such as mean what you say and say what you mean...this holds a deep value for me. More than looks or if you are good in the sack because that can be taught.

A lively man with spirit and soul is sexy. Not all men are created the same way so, keep it positive. The thoughts you put out there is what you'll get back...remember, ask and you shall recieve. It may take a minute to find your diamond but you will!

You know I think for the majority of women I know, we aren't looking for the unattainable. Just a decent guy, who's fun to be with, won't bore us to tears after a week, and of course is attentive in the intimacy department. Just a decent guy. He doesn't have to have movie star good looks. Pleasant to the eyes and looks after himself is totally acceptable.

A guy that thinks you hung the moon and doesn't try to make you jealous, or play games using other women to poke at you. A fella that has a good understanding of what it takes to make a relationship work and know that if it's worth it, you're going to have to make adjustments along the way and concessions.

Someone that is interested in you. Actually wants to know about your day, your past, your plans for the future, etc... Sharing mutual interest in one another.

I hope I wouldn't ask for more than what I was willing to put out myself. I think we all just want someone that spells comfort and safety. I know I do.

I am looking for brains, chemistry, humor, kindness, fun, and compassion. Understanding and appreciation (or at least trying to) for who I am.


I am right here!!!!! I think Momi will share me with you but alas, we are looking for the same thing(almost literally)

I don't necessarily agree that all women are looking for eventual marriage, especially those that have been previously married, or whom are a bit older.
I have a few friends who shudder at the thought of being legally bound to someone-I can't say I agree with them, but it's an opinion nonetheless.

^^^^totally agree 100%
past are the days of raising kids and staying married for the sake of staying married.
past are the days of even wanting to be married again...I never say never, but marriage is not on my agenda.
having a good man in my life? you betcha, but not necessarily 24/7. I want companionship, not a yoke.

My babe just wants me for sex.

The only way I can get out of spanking her then fvcking her in the a$$, cvnt and mouth is by catching her by surprise with an intriging thought, an interesting debate or a well prepared meal. She is such a push over for those.

It's a burden but I will struggle on.
