| Does anyone else feel like all of us here are like a used car?
Posted: 3/9/2008 11:07:32 AM | But one car is never enough. You want an economical 4 x 4 for the winter, a truck to carry stuff around and tow a trailer, a nippy little convertible sports car for the summer months, a comfortable sedan for long road trips and a classic of whatever type takes your fancy just for the heck of it. And a few motorcycles too (cruiser, sports bike, trail bike).
Is this part of the problem?

Posted: 3/9/2008 11:29:48 AM |  Glenmorangie... that is very well put for most of society today, keeping up with the Jones's is what I call it.
I guess I am very simple. I find a truck forfills all my needs. I don't need several different types to forfill my needs.........One will do... I find a truck... comfortable.. reliable... I can push pull tug or tow....  The right truck is just as sporty as a convertible... and works great for all seasons... I like this thread, it is a lot of fun... thanks guys. | |

shaken (not stirred ) but happily humming and gallivanting away whatever the weather
Gallivanting, I love that word, the spirit lives. and shaken,not stirred. Bond, James Bond.
I feel like my old Jeep Cherokee, at 250 k...
what I lovingly put in I get in return, many times over. | |

Posted: 3/9/2008 7:27:41 PM | Jim's hit on something that needs elaboration. If those of us who are in the market for a used car would learn to treat the women we want to love as a fine sports car, used Maserati(sp?) comes to mind, much of the misunderstanding between men and women loving would disappear.
When we come by that used Maserati, much of the time it's been abused by some operator who just didn't understand her. To restore her to a creature we can be proud of and that will build our esteem among others in our culture, to earn her appreciation and teach her to accept us for who we are, we have to understand what makes her operate at her peak.
Then we have to give her the care and respect she deserves so she trusts our careful handling. We can then provide the maintenance to bring her back to being the beautiful creature she was before that abuser had her and ran her into the ground.
We constantly learn about her and all the components that make her what she is. We keep her engine purring with the loving care, protection, nurturing, and cherishing her above all else so she knows we respect her and she feels her true magnificence. We put her on a pedestal and fawn over her and do all those things we need to do to insure that she'll keep on performing as only she can. Things like picking out her fender skirts, her paint and decals, sending her back to the specialists if we have to - whatever it takes.
Now, that's how to treat a fine used car. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 12:55:37 PM | First, all the profiles are so similar, I often think they're from one author.
Second, none of the matching strategies, including finding similarities (or differences for that matter), have anything to do with men and women loving each other. We don't love each other because of characteristics or similarities.
If there's a spark, then the ability to love is the only thing necessary for a couple to succeed in a relationship. For men the spark is visual, first. For women, feeling that the man understands is enough for her to trust a little, until he ruins it by becoming untrustworthy.
Unfortunately, few know how to love and those who stumble through the romance stage don't know enough about loving to sustain the romance. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 1:16:17 PM | | I guess in a way we are like cars. While we would all like to drive something sporty, or luxurious, or whatever we feel would be our ideal car, any car sure beats the heck out of walking. On the other hand, while I would like to find the match for my profile, or even someone who can become closer, I'd be happy just to make friends because friendships sure beats the heck out of being alone. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 1:19:41 PM | | zopz....ME TOOO!!!!! I so feel like the crap car that no one wants....though I do have lots to offer. People buy on impulses and what looks good. Not the cars substance sometimes. So yeah I'm there with you. Overlooked...underappreciated. lol. | |

I hope you don't mind but your formula mentioned in your profile is very much apt for all of us whether majority of us on here feel like a used car or some feel like a brand new car that left courtyard ...
Successful relationships are based on this basic formula; the exchange of loving behavior. | |

We don't love each other because of characteristics or similarities.
Sorry chuck ,but I can't agree with you on that one and for those who think opposite attract is a olds wives tale too.
imo, when two mature adults who have many but not all,similar things of interest, beliefs, goals and lifestyles there chances of a long and loving relationship is much greater.
And after that initial spark is over and to keep the fires burning, love and romance from the heart is ingredient which no book can tell you how to do,
and that other 4 letter word when love can't start the motor because I'm too tried is called 'work' | |

it would be nice to find someone who wants to do more than just kick my tires or take me for a spin around the block
Well, there used to be on here on chap who always claimed in this "wheely" section that how anyone could buy a car without giving it a test drive. Fair comment on the outside but to test it to its full potentials would be wrong and quite unlikely. Test, IMO, is like a 'bite' or 'kiss' and gives only a flavour of what it could be if ...
But hey, when curves appeal, sits steady, sound of the engine indicates balance under the bonnet, turning ignition on goes smoothly as if there was always this right touch of activator ... hmmm ... giving it extra TLC can keep especially a used car's engine happily humming and a man on hands thrilled to bits. Quite a nice equilibrum.
a lot of guys are looking for a brand new model.
Well, what might be a catchy & shiny on the outside doesn't necessarily equal to be rich of substance on the inside. Hmm ... funny, how pastel colours please eyes or is it just me? | |

. Dilligent, reliable, comfortably sitting on the road, shaken (not stirred 
and then tinkering under the bonnet, checking from underneath ... yes, they are guys who truly enjoy and cherish their four wheely *pride & joy* and their 
passion might also stretch behind the closed doors.
