Well I received 14 questions from 7 FReepers. ( one had 8 questions!). This will be our first & if you like it we can continue. Please jump in with your agreements, disagreements, personal stories, graphics (the plastic surgery question invites pix, doesn't it). Let's have fun & let's learn from each other!

It is always quite amusing to see the looks of the Ultra
glamorous women when you say, "Oh you are stunning! Well,
except for that one thing , but really it's nothing..."

From a male

How come when a woman does not want you any more, they don't want you with any other woman either?

I suppose the best question I can conjure is 'Why does it seem that women tend to be much more liberal than men?'

Here's a question:

I am going to meet my girl's parents next week...but would really enjoy a spontaneous drive out to see her tomorrow. It takes 6 hours and is so impractical, but we really miss each other! I do have things to do, such as mowing the lawn, picking out a gift for someone, cleaning the house, etc...but I could easily hop in the car tomorrow morning and drive out there...and do the stuff (maybe) during the week...what should I do?

My niece sent me this pic through Yahoo IM last night:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

That pic was taken of a display at his (my brother's) memorial service back in 2000.

I actually had a question...

My husband forgets to treat me like I am his girlfriend. Any suggestions?

I can relate somewhat to question #5. I sorta hated my parents (moreso with my mother) when I was growing up. I always wanted to do the same things my brother and my friends were doing, things like playing basketball on the school team, but mom would always have the penchant to say "No". It frustrated me to no end, so we ended up compromising by my becoming the manager of the team which allowed me to participate with my brother and my friends in some way.

Anything I wanted to do, I would ask first, and usually the responses were, "We'll talk to your father", "We'll see", or simply and flat out "No".

I never realized until after I graduated high school and was on my own that the reason my mother would say "No" or something resembling a "No" was because she loved me and wanted to protect me from harm or being hurt. You could say I became older and wiser.

I see this sort of anguish and frustration that I had as a teenager, bubble to the surface with my grandmother, who I am a caregiver for. She has Alzheimers, and she cannot perform complex tasks like turning the TV on, or starting the microwave, the washer and dryer or the dishwasher, starting the water in the tub for her bath, cooking the meals, or cleaning the dishes or driving a car. So, I take care of those jobs and let her do easier and simple jobs like wiping the table after a meal, folding her cleaned clothes, letting her do her grocery shopping (I sometimes help with that) and letting her watch on TV what she wants to watch.

I've never been married, I feel terminally single sometimes, but with my grandmother to take care of, I've found I've developed skills as a father and a husband.

There was a day when my grandmother told me during one of our meals that some woman is going to be lucky to snag you because you really know how to cook! (I actually taught myself with a lot of experimentation).

In closing, don't hate your parents, or even your grandparents. Sometimes, people have a funny way of showing they love you.

Thanks for pinging!

Here is a question geared more toward women. Although women are attracted to men who are confident, charming, funny, etc., I'll log onto online dating sites where many profiles will ask for the aforementioned qualities, but they must be "at least" 6'1" or "must be big and muscular", or something to that effect.

Speaking from personal experience, women may like my personality but can't quite get past the fact that I'm not a big, strong guy (in case you are still skeptical, check out my profile page.) Are women who have these "must be this tall to ride the rollercoaster" requirements simply being shallow or do I just not have enough physical aesthetics to work with?
