He is the kind of a man that you could use as a blueprint to build an idiot.

they can have there man laws but heres the real deal


Women's rules.

BEHIND EVERY
SUCCESSFUL WOMAN
IS HERSELF

A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG...
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG
SHE IS UNTIL YOU PUT HER
IN HOT WATER

I HAVE YET TO HEAR A MAN
ASK FOR ADVICE ON HOW
TO COMBINE MARRIAGE
AND A CAREER

COFFEE, CHOCOLATE, MEN.
SOME THINGS ARE JUST
BETTER RICH

I'M OUT OF ESTROGEN
And I HAVE A GUN

WARNING: I HAVE AN ATTITUDE
AND I KNOW HOW
TO USE IT

OF COURSE I DON'T LOOK BUSY...
I DID IT RIGHT
THE FIRST TIME

DO NOT START WITH ME.
YOU WILL NOT WIN

ALL STRESSED OUT
AND NO ONE
TO CHOKE

And last but not least:

IF YOU WANT BREAKFAST IN BED,
SLEEP IN THE KITCHEN

and if that wasnt enough here ladies:

1. Never do housework. No man ever made love to a woman because the house was spotless.

2. Remember: you are known by the idiot you accompany.

3. Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.

4. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

5. If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all there.

6. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be let out alone.

7. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.

8. Men are all the same - they just have different faces so you can tell them apart.

9. Definition of a bachelor; a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

10. Women don't make fools of men -most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

11. Best way to get a man to do something is to suggest they are too old for it.

12. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

13. If you want a committed man look in a mental hospital.

14. The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in biblical times men wouldn't ask for directions.

15. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him check books.

16. Remember a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means you laugh at his.

17. Sadly, all men are created equal.

Man, you just got to go out and get a new chick. Dont let her bring you down. Go have some fun and forget about her.

Thanks sweetie i learned from the school of hard knocks

the only that any change for the good in a relationship is going to happen is if it is fully communicated and wanted by both parties. Its not fair to either if only one does the changing AND it tends to build resentment so it has defeated the purpose. So think about it... if you are not willing to change some for someone then you are not in the right relationship. Its not always about "take me as I am" if they re with you then they have, its about growing as a couple

Looking?????

Nope.

Never was, never will be, looking for what?

And why?

To fill a void? To replace loneliness with the warm fuzzies?

I have never been looking...and won't be.
I am a complete person with or without another.

I would prefer to meet someone who is also a complete person, and see what it is that we can create together, without the neediness, and the placing obligations on each other.

And that is exactly what has appeared...a complete self sufficient person, who shares similar ideals, and doesn't require 'fixing' or being 'fixed'..who also sees an opportunity for an adventure with someone.

Relationships are all about learning to relate, with no expectations, nor obligations by either party.

Being together is to enhance the already WHOLE experience we were having separately...not to create a 'whole' experience.

I hear a lot about 'found my other half'... and it makes me wonder, who would in their right mind, choose a half a person over a whole person?

So not looking, never was, but have been blessed to meet another like minded person, who also feels we can create more good in the world together, by joining forces.

yep.


yep

I KNOW that NO ONE can MAKE another CHANGE who they are, and like these members said above.
YOU ONLLY need to LOVE the person for WHO THEY ARE!
If YOU CAN"T then MOVE ON..
Because THEY will be WHO THEY ARE!

And YOU NEED to KNOW THAT!

To LOVE is to BE LOVED. and one has to except the other for, and with ALL THEIR indifferences and to LOVE their indifferences because THAT is THEM.
If the indifferences out weigh the love, then THE LOVE IS "NOT" REAL!

Thank you for sharing...I truly enjoyed reading these words...
Hope you don't mind if I print it as a reminder to myself?

i dont think its about changing ... its learning how to cope with each others needs..cause at my ripe old age dont think im gonna change much... nor would my partner...

The only thing we can really count on in this world is change. I know I am not the same person now as I was in my 30's, my 20's or my teens. I'm thinking it is a good thing I did not draw such a hard line as 'Take me for what I am.. I ain't changing'. If I did... I could have become an emotionally 15 year old boy, stuck in a 44 year old body!

Many of those changes, both drastic and subtle happened in or as a result of relationships. There are some things in life that you just can't see about yourself without others involvement.

There is a saying that has held very true in my life. 'If you want to learn about your character defects, get into a relationship. If you don't want to learn about them, get a house plant, maybe a dog.'

What I do with that information is my choice. No one can make me change... but to do nothing is not growing. Not growing is pretty self defeating...not to mention, not too healthy for any relationship you might be in.

I am in a relationship and have been for 3 years, I always find myself trying to change him, I have to learn to accept him for who he is, although there is alot of good about him there are definitely a few bad things as well. guess if down the road those "bad things" dont change then I should just leave.

I am about to make a BIG change.

I am moving out of my house in the country, and going back into the service.

It is gonna be an adventure training and serving with men 20 years my juniour, but I love a good adventure.

I have been living my life for women that used my love to serve their purposes, and now its time for me.

So, away I go.

you made a her your higher power?

you're absolutely right hjfin, it is me that needs changing...but i like me and i'm not changing anything
and you cannot change someone else, but why would you want to???
that has never made any sense to me, but it does seem that 8/10 times the thing that attracted you to the other person in the first place ends up being the thing you most dislike about them when the relationship goes downhill
