Can a girl expect to fall in love with a man (ps: not below 36) who will support her emotionally as well as financially and let her pursue her dreams.... or is it pure foolishness to expect something like this ?
I think it is selfish and old fashioned . Perhaps a long time ago that was how a relationship was viewed but in modern times ., many men and women have been scarred by divorce .. there is now a new mindset of what constitutes a relationship .. most work as a team .. contributing equally . Emotionally and financially . Perhaps it is the way you worded your question .. but it is all about you . What about his dreams .. how will you support him. ???? waving


Sorry to intrude. I agree in principle, but not sure that it is "old fashioned". Throughout most of history, I suspect that working as a team was not only in fashion, but in many cases necessary for survival. Their dreams became intertwined and they worked together to accomplish the goal. Obviously, it looked differently then it does today, but I think your point about teamwork has always been the model that works best.

I suggest we all agree to end the game now and call me the winner. It’s my way of selflessly ending any chance of future frustration. You are all welcome. :grinning:

Interesting question. My answer is probably less exciting than most. However if the goal is a lifetime then probably intellectual. Physical will change with passage of time and would make a poor foundation. Emotionally, differences are actually helpful if not necessary and spiritual requires an honest intellectual series of conversations to learn from each other and connect at a meaningful level. Having said that I suspect you could make an intelligent argument for any order. I would think though that boredom is the biggest thief of passion and easiest to keep at bay with an intellectually compatible partner.

If two people are intellectually connected but not emotionally sensitive to each other’s feelings I do think that no amount of knowledge can make the relationship last?


Yes that makes sense. I guess My initial thought is that two people who express themselves emotionally may struggle and two who are quite different may find it easier to support each other. But to your point emotionally connected doesn’t mean emotionally identical. I do think that someone who shares intellectual interests makes for better communication.
Even so, I agree that being of the same mind but lacking emotional empathy would be a problem.

Thank you for your sense of humor and acceptance of everyone on here. Positive and friendly responses may at times be a mask, but a beautiful mask that is observed and admired.

Hi jeo .. could be a myth but I was always under the impression many men look at and talk to boobs more than faces biggrin


Sorry for intruding, but I suspect you are confusing men and cuddlefish. My gender is widely known for talking to the soul of a woman while completely focused on her eyes.
I am sure Dolly Parton agrees with you tongue2


Oh, did an internet check.. you are right. Dolly Parton does have eyes. :)
gold star for you :-)


aww..shucks... thank you. :smile: (with a blush)

Im thinking... I miss my Reflexologist...


Wait until you get to be my age. I miss my reflexes. I know I know. Believe it or not that was hilarious until it left my brain and came out my thumbs!

Discombobulated...


It is always nerve wracking when the way you feel is described by a 6 syllable word. I hope you are back to “combobulated” very soon. :grinning:

Melancholy and a little homesick.


Sorry to hear that. I hope it passes quickly!


Thanks coachred, with all the kindness from those here and a little self nurturing, I'm feeling better.


Awesome. I have noticed that you are part of a high quality, supportive group on here. :grinning:

Dearest.... I hope that in stumbling over and over again I would learn to appreciate my ultimate destination which is you. It would have been nice to feel your hands helping me up each time I fall but I do know that with you there won’t be any fall. With you, there would only be strong arms that would stop me from falling. With you, tears of my pain will be your pain. With you, my smile will always reach my eyes and be mirrored in your own eyes. With you , I will always belong as I know I would want to be. With you, I can be the best version of my flawed self . Together we are complete and apart we will never seek.


Wow. Really well written and an accurate description of what you should seek. If I could add one thing it would be “mutual grace “, recognizing a lack of perfection and ample forgiveness will increase the odds. I hope your soulmate doesn’t stop searching or settle until you find each other. Sorry for intruding.

I hope so too and more :angel: no intrusion here. Thank you so much for your wish for me. I remain skeptical but not hopeless that his soul I would meet if not in this world than in another. Even though he does not have a face yet in my mind he is all these to me and more , inspiring me to write these missives to him. He might not read it but I feel that in writing these my feelings would somehow come across. Blessings to you sir :pray:


If I had a single son I would be praying that he find someone who has the faith in her dream; the perseverance to not give up and the beauty of soul that you appear to have young lady. If you knew how incredible their wives are you would recognize the sincerity of my thought. Have a great night and know you are one day closer to your dream being fulfilled.

Mixed. Saw my grandkids today. They make me laugh and smile like no other. On the other hand facing a week with too much to do; too little time; and high expectations.
