In a sense we belong to each other while in a relationship. Some folks say he or she is my person. Right?

Dear OP:
Gosh, I think everyone is ready for love. Whether they are ready for the particular relationship youre looking for, I sure dunno. We all have some match that suits us. You just cant force it.

May be a little self reflection and reminiscing or 'hoovering' which is a narcissists ploy.

filling out the profile helps a great deal

lots of folks dont do that however

and welcome

Happy belated to you lovely one!

teaches violence and the reason to NOT do certain things is fear rather than being the best person you can be.

discipline can be more valuable when it deals in exchanges, like if you break that rule, you will not get that toy, or you will have to do that chore. There should always be discussion about what went wrong and what would have been a better choice blah blah blah

Ya, this.

Also, if there's nothing for them to comment on in your profile: jackpot! for a scammer, as they may not even speak English and rotate various 'compliments' cut/pasted from the scammer handbook.

I guess its that arabian style canopy with lots of gold and draping.
Like something you might see in Aladdin

Just not into the things you're into man. You asked what folks prefer, and they told you.

This isn't a venue to pick apart someone else's profile to comment on someone else's preferences.

Im sure you know, posting such a picture is a risk. You took it. It was honest. Sit with that and know peace.

I prefer to unsee that. haha

Its apple (Macintosh) and the crust is made with a bunch of lemon zest. haha

lots of fireworks to lite up the faces of loved ones. Thats the best part to me. We can see such fanciness from our home, just stand in the right spot.
I made an afreakimazin pie too.

Just be sure your dental records are on file somewhere...

Ive always wanted to read "How to win friends and influence people". I thought it an absurd topic when I was much younger, but the more I am confused by people, the more I want to know what a filthy rich guy thinks about it all. My future self will say that...

Women value men they will not have to support. They value men who can take care of themselves. That way they can relax and spend their energy on getting to know each other.

Historically, men are expected to be the bread winners, and continue to hold that position if we look at the incomes of men v women.

So it may be a red flag for some women, if he struggles financially.

On the flip side, men often value women based on weight. It sure comes up a lot. A body can be attractive at so many different weights but its a concern for most men.

Both money and weight can fluctuate during a persons lifetime, so its not a stable way to go about finding love I reckon.

Perseverating on it all can drive you batty. Find stuff to giggle about every day.

LOL, .....and sorry I missed this one earlier.

thats my heaven

Hi! Welcome, and thanks for posting so quickly. Clearly you are a brave person! Always great to get new folks talking.

Honesty is surely a grand idea...so is being yourself.

There are, however, people with agendas, and will say what they think you want to hear until they get what they want.

Not only that, some people actually dont value honesty....crazy right....its true.

anyhoo...

If you can be aware of that, then your radar should work pretty well for you.

Hey DI thanks!
