Maybe Iam a Wuss, but its OK I don't mind being a Wuss, I would much rather be a Wuss then walk around all brused and broken because someone felt I needed to experience the fine line between pain and pleasure.
Well geez, it's supposed to be fun between consenting adults and I don't know what type of person grants consent to being broken! There are degrees of pain and discomfort, anything that isn't tolerable wouldn't interest me. I'm not into torture. heh
I have a girlfriend who likes things ruff, and the funny or not so funny thing about her and all that is that she has been known to throw over a really nice guy how isn't into ruff in favor of a really bad guy who is. and by good and bad I mean the normal like one guy if very good to her and her children and helps her out clean cut nice man and the other is a drunk who takes advantage of her and isn't so nice to her or her children and he is VERY un-loyal ...
I wonder what her upbringing was like. It's one thing to like it rough, but when you endanger your own children by dating abusive guys, you're not a fit parent. I don't know why so many women date guys who treat them like crap. Then after they have a few kids with them they suddenly are interested in the nice guys they wouldn't give the time of day to before.
Yup It sure does confuse me, I sorta think that most women who are like that perhaps have this mothering instinct thing backwards THEY think they can change or save the Guy. and while in that process they endanger there yougins I just don't get it. sometimes I wish I could be stupid to, but generally that passes in like a blink of an eye.
WOMEN are weird creatures I tell you! But you just gotta LOVE US hehe
The key is to NOT try and change someone, I mean if you REALLY did fall in love with them as they were then WHY change them? and if you feel that something needs to change, then perhaps you really need to RETHINK your OWN feelings.
People generally change little amounts as they go though life, those are growing up or old changes they are not Major I changed because I love you kind of things ..Don't ever try and fix or change something to your will, because your not really lovin it as it is ... if that makes sense.
Of course that makes sense. In a relationship you can expect certain compromises to be made in a give and take kind of way. But a major overhaul of someone is not going to happen.
Well, I think people sometimes see the potential in a mate and turn a blind eye to the things they don't like about them or things they do that annoy them. You can't just idealize someone and ignore those things when that's part of who they are.
if you are looking at someone and thinking that this is wrong or that is wrong these are the things that need to be changed then your not really loving them for who they are, but who you think that they can be. If your the wrong person from the get go, then you will end up one day in a marriage which don't fullfill your needs in life, and you will be horribly unhappy.
SO! find someone you like talking to, you like spending time with, someone who when you think of them a smile crosses your face, Humans are so caught up on the perfect LOOK of a person that they often forget the inner self. and frankly if your looking at the exterior and not the interior you are not mature enough to realize that it won't work out.
Ramble, maybe...but you hit the nail on the head. In a life long partner you need a friend first and foremost, someone whose company you thoroughly enjoy and who you think you'd enjoy growing old with, because beauty does fade, as they say. If a relationship is based mainly on its physical aspects it's likely doomed to fail. I don't know why people rush to get married. They recite vows automatically without really thinking about what they entail. For better or for worse means just that, so they should be absolutely sure before taking that leap.
Yes I agree with you, The problem I think is that everyone seems to have forgotten that Marriage is a sacrament, today its treated as a pastime, and if you don't like the players you just get out. NOT that I think that you should stay in an abusive situation. but its way to easy these days to marry and divorce. I know many Men who are on wife 4 or 5 IN ONE LIFE TIME!
HELLO! where is it written that Men or Women are a Throw away Commodity?? everyone wants to be treated respectfully, yet we have no respect for our life choices, maybe if it wasn't so easy to jump in and out of a marriage we would think twice before entering it. Since I don't think that anyone really looks at marriage as a permanent situation anymore.
Sadly We evolve into something so different yet becomes common place with each new generation.
Then again each case is different. Sometimes people change after they tie the knot or were pretending to be someone they're not beforehand. I can't blame someone for wanting out if they were fed a bunch of lies, but then they probably should have had a longer engagement to make sure they really know the person. And you're right about abusive relationships...no one should be expected to stay in one.
I agree with you, but don't you think on the average that more people tend to see what they want to see in someone anyhow?
There are those instances where one lies to another to achieve some goal. but I think for the most part we see it, yet don't see it since it wouldnt fit with what we are wanting at the moment.
Absolutely, in most cases the reasons there may be problems are evident or should be if you're paying attention. But if someone is blatantly lying or hiding a character flaw until later there may be no way to find out in advance. That's why we need a database where ex-spouses and ex-boyfriends/girlfriends can enlighten their future prospective mates. heh
I have no idea. I've always thought it would be a great idea to have a website for that kind of like the ones where students can rate their teachers, and someone told me there is actually such a site although I've never seen it and don't know what it's called.
That actually would be cool, and Iam sure there is a game show like that, what happens is that two of your ex Girlfriend/boyfriend get together and they feed information about you to the ONE your trying to get a date with, and if they can convience you that he/she isn't worth dating then they WIN the money but if he/she gets the date They WIN.
I know its out there I seen it a couple times months ago one of those late night kind of shows.
if you think about it, how many people would make better choices if only they could click on a dating link which had all sorts of pros and cons about the person your thinking of dating. LOL
I'll take your word on the show but will take a pass on watching it. heh
The trouble with a site like that is that anyone who gets dumped could go there and lie to get revenge. And if anyone is really great you'd still be with them if they were all that rather than giving them props. How many amicable splits are there?
your correct not many splits are amicable .. I have had a couple that were ok, but it really still didn't go well, despite the fact that both parties went into it knowing what the other was seeking or not seeking. even though we both I think try to remain friends someone is generally still hurt. I can think of one right off the top of my head and that was sorta my fault, But only in the respect that he knew the rules and broke them, (not that Iam a hard ass) but I had my doubts and when I talked to him about them I chose to go with his way of thinking not my own. and it was wrong so when I broke it off, even though he expected it. He was badly hurt and did things to attempt causing me some heart ache as well. I suppose that just proves the point that when you and your own heart are involved the rules bend and you find yourself doing things I doubt that you would generally do.
You'd truly have to have parted as friends for them to go to such a site wanting to help you out. But if you get a bad report you can do the same to them. You could also get real friends you never even dated to give phony positive feedback. But if you do look up someone and see a long list of bad reviews, chances are there's something to it.
I think the way a site like that would work would be if it was interactive, in other words you should be able to ask questions as well as read what others have to say, like if Iam going to bash an ex then I should be able to back that up if asked about them. BUT then your looking at an awful lot of commitment from people and frankly if they were into commitment they wouldnt be posting on a site about Exs eh?
LOL it occured to me that we do come up with some strange subjects to talk about
But how could you back anything you say up? There wouldn't be any concrete evidence to present to prove a guy is a prick. heh. What are you going to do, have people swear on a virtual bible they're telling the truth?
