Most of us would laugh at the idea we are sending a woman a subtle signal about the status of the relationship by raising an eyebrow and squaring our shoulders away from her...we are probably just trying to sneak a glance at the hot bartender without getting caught. ;)

Hun, THAT we can often pick up on ;) It's the words that get tangled. An "I don't know" response to a serious question gets pondered more than E=MC2.

Did he mean that HE doesn't know, but someone out there probably does?

Or did he mean he DOESN'T know the answer, because it's locked away in some part of his wounded psyche?

Or did he mean he doesn't KNOW, as in the knowledge is buried in the turmoil of his emotions?

And that a slight warble at the end of the sentence? Why, he's fighting to control his emotions, because he's been hurt before.

So he must be in love too! (ack!)

Mr. Roboto? Is that a song? If it is, then its not in my head. My head is clear now while you're still suffering from Muskrat Love.

You are speaking of a learned, practiced, catechised creed. I am speaking of biology and the subconscious mind.

You would be shocked at how many ostensibly Christian men would be all over a disease-free Pamela Anderson-type in two seconds if they thought they had a chance with her. Because they realize they don't have a chance (or because of learned fears) they are free to grumble about sin and and how they would never do such a thing and how the world doesn't measure up to their standards. It's a defense mechanism - and the louder they protest, the more they've been thinking about it.

But when put to the test, biology speaks louder than any creed. I'll stick to the 98% estimate. ;)

Not sure which is worse, that one our Endless Love. Put a bullett in my head, either one.

make the relationship last longer.

The "relationship" lasting longer is not the immediate goal. {;^ )

Speaking as a bachelor, I have found so many damaged and duplicitous women that I find myself preferring widows to the profile of a typical Big D veteran; I have dated a number of cheating married women, until I was so informed (with adequate evidence) or discovered "the sinner". I am thankful that women can stand men as men are surely worse still than women in such matters.

The "Sex in the City" relationship model is as if STDs designed it for themselves.

One might surmise that even with today's astounding population densities, the proportion of lonely people today may only equal those of centuries gone by. Still, as a practical matter, plural "marriage" may be a lasting arrangment as I believe that there are more good women than good men - as this author verbosely beat around his bush.

Oh, that one's easy: "I don't know" means "Why are you bothering me with this stupid emotional blackmail BS when the Cowboys have a third-and-goal with only twelve seconds left?"

The warble comes from resisting the urge to strangle her. ;)

I didn't have a time limit - so, this might not solve that problem - but...

I copied and pasted each chapter into a Word Document.
When I took the quiz at the end of each chapter, I would use the Word Find function to search for the answer to the questions.

Worked for me - I got 100% on my test. And, I didn't read a word of that garbage.

;-)

"DD"

I did that with Chapter 1 but so far the questions for Chapter 1 and 2 have been very easy so I'm just trying to glance through the material. Right now the timer is the killer. Each page has like a 2 or 3 minute timer so I open it, scan it for 20 seconds, go do some work(or post on FR) and then come back and go to the next page.

Yes, I also unknowingly dated a married guy.
I asked all the right questions, I had my MarriedGayRadar going the whole time and STILL missed it.

He had created this elaborate cover story..
...They divorced, she remarried an attorney and their son lived part time with each parent and all was well!

After it came to light, I called his wife and told her. I told her all the things he said about her and his elaborate story.

I wonder if they are married today?

;-?

If so, then she's a fool. And good for you telling the wife. Give her some good lawyer ammo.

I was only 18 at the time, but thought I was sooooo sophisticated dating an older guy. I don't remember if there were signs or not (even though it was only 5 years ago..eh-hem...) but I think I was too naive to even look for signs.

"the louder they protest, the more they've been thinking about it."

Plausible denial is certainly a common 'cover' for sin.

OTOH, someone who genuinely walks the straight and narrow fixes his/her mind on that which is right.

"Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee" -- David, PSALMS

As re: your statement of your belief that 98% of males would acquiesce to the sexual availability of a messed-up beautiful woman, thanks for the acknowledgement of its being only your personal estimate. My own observations lead me to an estimate that is somewhat higher. Regrettably, not substantially higher. 85%

But ladies, hunks striving for righteousness are out here!

Paula, Billy Idol doesn't fit with your country girl upbringing. Could it be that you hung around the t-shacks with the freaks???

Your insighful post is spot on, Mr. Jeeves!

And Paula you are correct when you say women should have a glamour shot but also we would do well to remember that doin' your best to stay attractive benefits you both................sounds of "Afternoon Delight" playing in the back groud

LOL
