What immediately comes to mind is one of the rare flying dreams I've had. Well, it was more like hovering, but that's neither here nor there...

I "woke up" several times within the dream, and each time I would re-test my flying ability to make sure it was still intact before continuing about my day. And then, I ACTUALLY woke up. I just lied there for a moment, stewing in my disappointment because I knew for certain that it wasn't going to work this time.

...Then I tried it anyway.

rofl Better than giving up at the least.

I guess really with anyone it depends on how open-minded they are at the start and what they let matter for a first impression.
We as people are often more willing to look past flaws when we've gotten to know other traits of a person first.

Dimmu Borgir (song dimmu borgir)
or
Dimmu Borgir (gateways)

Seems like all metal seems to have some growling...

Dimmu Borgir is good stuff.
As for all metal seeming to have some growling, not really... It's not employed much in Power Metal nor in more classic Heavy Metal.
I don't recall Bruce Dickinson or Dio really incorporating much growling. :tongue:

probably mother issues and its common, sure. I think its called an oedipal complex.

Not necessarily.
Also, the Oedipal complex is somewhat different. It's moreso directed at ones own parents...

Ah yes but when internalized and projected it maybe that the subject suffering from said symptoms may project those said desires onto another reminding them of said parental figure.

Well, it's probably typically internalized in some form. Attraction to one's mother isn't exactly all that socially accepted. The Oedipal complex is also defined by a sense of competing with one's father figure as well. Basically a psychological version of the story of Oedipus. Kills his father to be with his mother... except without actual murder and with knowing it's your mom.

It's hard to say. As with anyone, you have to base it individually... unfortunately, not knowing someone, you may only have generalizations to work with.
So, generally speaking, many women state a desire for honesty but practically discourage when a guy is honest.

It seems like trickery, and it probably is, but occasionally all you can do is let certain things out at a time. Not lie, but not tell the whole truth. There is telling too much too soon and that's not specific to any gender, just to people.

Personally, I'd like to try to look for people who are open minded and accepting so that I can feel free to say more. This is quite a rarity.


Can you give us an example of how women have discouraged you when you were honest?

Wish I had a particular example of how some have in mind. I realize too that this is an extremely poor way to follow a point, granted I never said that I was personally discouraged.


What you're saying doesn't make a lot of sense then, especially since you can't even follow up with an example.

Well, you did want an example of something I didn't state to begin with (being personally discouraged).
Personal examples are poor basis anyway due to bias, but here goes: when I realized I was attracted to an ex's friend and told her, the response was very much far from appreciating the honesty. Or when a friend was attracted to me and I let her know that by no means do I have any feelings for her (I didn't want to lead on a false possibility), she got upset at that and has since stopped talking altogether as friends.

Truth can occasionally hurt and many people can't actually deal with it. I mentioned "many women" because the OP asked about women, but this isn't even a gender thing as just as many guys are the same. Of course, for either, this is mainly those who aren't all that mature (yet).

just a couple nice days n nights that caused me to think this but what do you think.Do women like it when you are straight with them upfront.(by the way im talking about when you just meet a girl)



it depends upon what you mean by 'straight'

if you mean do women like a man who only wants sex to be upfront about it,, I imagine the answer is usually yes

I imagine its almost always better than being mislead into false hopes of something more ,,,,,

This has been my rule. If I'm not going to seek anything other than sex, I'm not going to claim anything else. Unfortunately this has been less than successful, but I'm not going to mislead someone like a lot of guys seem to. That's just a d-----bag move.



trust, you havent faced the wrath of a woman who has had her heart played with,,,,

you have been successful,,,lol

Haha, in that regard then... yes. Success.

Waiting or hoping for someone else to make the first move is one of the stupidest things people will do... unfortunately, it's also one of the most common.
