a turtle with boobs, that would just be odd looking...lol

Lily, what nice manners you have. That is definitely a positive attribute. Thank YOU!!!

only thing i ask is that you have your barefoot, pregnant body out in that kitchen cooking me dinner and keeping my beers coming....lol


ok, i think i`m gonna leave this thread now...lol

odd looking, like a beautiful lil pup with human features

I know over the years I have done the "I don't need a partner" matra. Was probably more like whisleing in the dark because it gives you confidence when in reality you are walking, he--running, as fast as you can through the scarey parts because sometimes life just doesn't give you a running buddy.

The reality; for me at least; is that yes I need a partner. I am surviving and at times even thriveing but having done it alone and done it with an amicable mate I definitely recommend the later. I find it gives me balance and perspective that on my best day I just don't have as a committee of one. It gives me support and while I am not excludeing the advantage of shareing the bills I am really speaking of emotional support where when you have a back against the wall day you know your mate is the wall. Very comforting.
It is also a whole lot more fun celebrateing the victories with someone who knows and likes you enough to know what the victories are.

And includes you in theirs. Or lets you be the hero once in a while. It is kind of nice to make someone you know, like, and love feel like a million bucks. Careing seems to get a bad rap, especially here when seems very little appreciation has been reciprocated, but it never pains me to do something for "the one" and I kind of miss it.

As I get older (I am not Grandma Moses just going in to the second half as I see it) and look to the future I know I am not going to offer anyone all the solutions (even though I have had a lot of experience and can handle most things not exactly comeing to the party empty handed) but what I can offer is someone to grab a hold of, hang on tight too, and share the day to day with in an appreciation that they are not perfect but they are someone I like and love.

Maybe that is just not needing but wanting a partner but it seems a little bit more reciprocal and maybe a little more open to the two-way street good relationships are than saying lets run along together but I am independent of you when like any team the members are inner dependent.

I think the trick will be finding someone I will be and they will feel is equally yoked. If one person feels they are giving it all wheather they are or not the relationship is not going anywhere.

Guess like most things, it's open to interpretation of definition.

To me need means to require and want means to desire/request.

So do I need a man - no
Do I want a man - he!! yeah

So, speaking of dating ..

I just started another thread that makes you think =).. please take a read ..

and Lilith I expect you to comment

Well I'm usually barefoot, I am a hillbilly ya know.

but pregnant, those days are gone...

and GET YOUR OWN DAMN BEER...sweetie.

I think that would be good for your lifespan

Agree with Lilth

love it. You yelled at him then called him sweetie. I could hear the sarcasm as I read it. Lily, you're hilarious

i have that affect on women...lol

I like cottonelle, he knows that, he knows I was kidding with him....

and yes, I would do that IRL too though if the situation required it.

I agree, Cottonelle is ok, but I do prefer Charmin

In response to the initial post...I do agree, except on one point. Unlike you, I do believe in 'soul mates'. I don't believe, however, that my 'soul mate' will complete me.

I believe there are people out there who in some spiritual way do connect with me soul to soul. I have very dear friends who are connected with me in that way and will be so for the rest of our lives. Some are women, some are men...but in each case we connect 'soulfully', and it is why they are in my life.

I would be pleased to find that in a mate...a life-partner. If I never do, I will live a happy, complete life on my own. I'm not willing to settle for an intimate relationship without that connection, however. Perhaps you & I just disagree on the meaning of the term, 'soul mate'?

the word "charmin" should be sencored on here and anyone using that nasty foul word be banned from the site...no questions asked


i now hate turtles. turtles are slow retarted little creatures

dude - you crack me up

I agree with most of what you say....just the 'soulmate' part I differ & that may be a definition thing....but I believe there is a person out(maybe a few) there that is so compatible with me that I would think we would do most anything to be together....a person that 'gets me' and I 'get her'....it is as you say 'not settling'.....but it is 'knowing' when that person comes along that is right for me....

when it happens, it feels magical, sometimes it even feels psychic....like we are connected on a deeper level, & we just intuitively understand each other....its like when we text each other at the same time because we were both thinking of each other at that time or we felt each others moods & responded appropriately in a way that made the other feel needed or wanted....sometimes people fit together like a puzzle & when you step back & observe, it looks complete.....

Thank you! The 50/50 myth is exactly that...it takes both parties giving 100% all the time (or as close as they can come to that) to make a relationship work!

first of all ((((lilith)))) been awhile, good to see you darlin...btw...did i leave my bvd's at your place with my dvd's? lol

second of all...WAY TO GO WELL PUT!!!!
