(P.S. It is way too early for me to jump into a woman-bashing thread. ~sigh~)

Oh dear. I haven't seen it yet, but probably will.

*sigh* I'll try to behave.

[Ramius]

Yah... good point.

Hope springs eternal...

One time on a thread like that I described what I wanted in a woman. You know, one that is me intellectual equal and that I could love AND respect. Stuff like that. Got some responses to the effect that I was 'living in a dream land' and such. Well, now I get the last laugh! Wahahahahahahaaaa!!
Found exactly the girl I was describing.

[RMDupree]

Agree with ya.

I won't spill the beans out there and let all the FReeper chicks out there know that the BEST of the best FR fellas are here in the Hobbit Hole.

;-)

"Have you ever noticed that the common element in all your failed relationships is... you?"

LOL! You're too much.

'Cept at this point, they're pretty much all taken. Like playin' musical couples...and I'm the one left. ;-)

[TalonDJ]

Bah! Don't go all 'Marvin' on us. Time to recruit a few more hobbits :D

[RosieCotton]

It's partly just interesting. Dynamics and all that.

I guess the biggest problem is that I'm a lousy recruiter.

[RMDupree]

It's not as bad as the other one. Don't ruin your morning, chica.

[RMDupree]

Not so. I'm still out here with ya!

[RMDupree]

Hope springs eternal...

Yeahyoubetcha!

The rest of us can go out, find a couple prospects, and drag them back for you...

How is a gal supposed to know if a guy really likes her or if he's one of these types that just wants to have "casual sex" and move on since we are ~evil~ American women? And then folks wonder why it's so hard for couples to trust each other.

It takes a lot of time, something many young couples are just not willing to invest. They think nothing of jumping in the sack on the first date, then wonder why he or she never calls. DUH! They've gotten what they wanted and they're moving on to the next mark. Taking to time to get to know the other person, to see that person in many different social and family situations gives really good clues as to what life with them would be like.

Unfortunately, many folks think love will conquer all, and it just ain't so. Loving feelings wax and wane over the course of a marriage, and both people need to trust that neither one is going anywhere, so they might as well work on it to make it better.

[SuziQ]

Yeah, you right!

That's very close to the way my Dad puts it.

[TalonDJ]

Just got to pick the right threads. Jen found me on a homeschooling one.

Going back over old posts heheh...

[SuziQ]

Yeah, well, romance novels and movies have totally distorted what marriage is like. It ain't all wine and roses, but without the tough times, you wouldn't really appreciate the good times! Thankfully we've had 30 years that have only had a few little rough spots, but as I said before, we knew that neither of us was going anywhere! SirKit's Mom used to joke that she and his Dad made a pact a long time ago that the first one to leave had to take all the kids. Needless to say, they stuck it out, and had almost 60 years together, again, with some rough spots, but mostly good.

[TalonDJ]

Just one thing about getting more people...

[SuziQ]

Jen found me on a homeschooling one.

And you followed her back here, huh?

[TalonDJ]

Don't let them
