Good!! Let me know what they think....

where they at?

Artgurl... you amazed me...!

I'm kidding!

Hmmmmmm! Nobody is going to want to take you serious when you headline you are looking for and intimate encounter then play the "women are so greedy" because they say "show me the money" and don't buy you are not a one-night stander. lol

Not shallow at all! Absolutely dead on. Equals who BOTH contribute to a comfortable life style. Sound like a rational plan if you ask me!

Exactly.... and don't complain and whine here...

i just fixed it. this damn keyboard,has a mind of its own. lol

Intimate encounter doesn't sounds appealing to me.. and it sounds uncommitted...

its the damn keybroad. I'm really faithful and honest

Whew, thank Goodness. I was beginning to worry.

It's the sister of one night stand...

Again, WOMEN WANT THE FOUR ANIMALS:
1) ...a Jaguar in the driveway
2) ...a mink in the closet
3) ...a python in her lovers' pants
4) ...AND A JACKASS TO PAY THE BILLS!
Oh, BTW, rockmybobbysocksoff, how's your weekend lookin'? Got lots of dates?

Dude...here's how it is...and THIS IS HOW IT IS.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE A PRODUCER!
Yes, women DO gravitate towards men who are well-heeled.
They are drawn to SECURITY, just in case they have a one-nighter with the guy, end up prego, and will require FINANCIAL STABILITY for the well-being of herself AND the baby.

MEN CAN BE INSPIRED BY BEING ACCEPTED, DESPITE WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING, INTO BEING A BRING-HOME-THE-BACON SUPERMAN!
But a woman should check out this potential before she marries him.

WOMEN HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!
What if she goes out with a guy who cannot afford a family, yet she falls head-over-heels for him, anyway?
She'll wind up in abject poverty, and may find herself prego, anyway, with a husband who was once an angel, but now beats her because they fight over their money woes. Domestic violence resulting over financial strife is not a certainty, but it does rate very high as a cause of it.
Also, if her dad had taken good care of her and the rest of the family when she was a little girl, then, obviously, she will be subject to an attraction for a man who can take care of himself, AND support a family.

(...and here's my "HOWEVER...")
HOWEVER...
MEN HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!
It is very easy for the above to be used as camouflage by a woman who is just a full-out gold-digger. It is very difficult to separate the woman who is sincere about establishing a stable nest within which to raise a family, from the gold-digger who is only thinking about herself and her material requirements.

THERE IS A WAY, HOWEVER...
I will refer to an earlier post of mine for a solution:
1) Prior to asking for her hand in marriage, make sure you've GIVEN HER A BEJEWELED GIFT OR TWO. This, however, is optional.
2) Then, when it's time to ask for her hand in marriage, suggest TWO PLAIN GOLD BANDS FOR EACH OF YOU.
After all, it's a SYMBOL, not a GIFT, right?
If she seems to have difficulty separating the two, after you've already given her GIFTS of jewelry, then THIS WOMAN MAY NOT BE FOR YOU.
Some women want to GET MARRIED, but are not too interested in BEING MARRIED...and I heard this quote directly from a WOMAN.

A TIP FOR YOU...
Yes, I feel your pain, man. It's very distressing to be made to feel like you're only evaluated as a potential money tree, time and again...
HOWEVER...
A woman can become just as emotionally distressed by a guy who only seems to want her as a SPERM RECEPTACLE...A VERITABLE "SPITOON".
Talk about being "de-humanized"!
Ever wonder why so many women seem to love jewelry? When I see a diamond, to me, it's just a shiny rock. But a woman can look at the same diamond and exclaim, "OH, HOW PRETTY!" Women seem to have been enabled to more readily appreciate beauty than a man. This is a blessing, not a curse. It's just one of the differences which makes them so alluring in the first place!

Not all women are like that you just have to weed out the bad and reel in the good, it takes time and patience to find the one you are looking for. Good Luck in your search.

Are there any sugar-mamas? Or is that a myth?

Holy Cow! That is a whomping mass of generalizations there Trubl


We need financially stable men in case we get pregnant?

I don't care what a man does for a living. What I do care is if he is happy doing it, if he is fulfilled, if he is growing, if he treats me well, if he is supportive of me and my dreams.

Money doesn't make you happy ... but it can give you choices. I am quite capable of earning a living too.

Your gold digger test may also require revision. Some people like a lot of jewelry ... some people don't. As for rings ... some women find it important while other's don't.

Personally I'd rather have either matching or complementary bands that my partner and I design ... something unique and meaningful to us.

Any gifts I have received are cherished ... not because of what the item is or how much it cost, but because of the sentiment attached. Someone was thinking about me when they chose it ...


Although perhaps I need to rethink my position, my brother did always say that I would live in a camper van by the river if I was in love ... I don't think I would go quite that far ...

i created a novel generalization....and it was all for you...

Uhm...it's tru-BLU, and yet you seem to be seeing only TRUBL...now who's generalizing here? Did my post threaten you, or make you feel uncomfortable in some way? Did I step on your toe? Such was not my intent.
Did you react to my post thoughtfully, or emotionally?
Did you carefully consider it before you typed?
Don't tell ME your answers...answer them for yourself.
WE ALL keep certain generalizations in mind when we meet each other for the first time.
However, chaos may ensue if we were to respond in a knee-jerk fashion to someone who even so much as fit a single, pre-conceived generalization. For example, I like to wear those form-fitting, tank-top undershirts when I work out in the gym, as I like the feeling when it begins to stretch. However, I was later informed by a woman friend that I might rather not wear these t-shirts, as they are known as "wife-beaters"! Supposedly, this is the shirt characteristically worn by a guy who regularly beats his wife. HE**, IT'S JUST A FRICKIN' T-SHIRT!!! And I'm not married!
Have YOU considered these t-shirts to be "wife-beaters", worn by those men who would beat a woman?
OMG! COULD YOU BE "GENERALIZING"???
What if a guy you were meeting for the first time at a restaurant had parked in the back, his car unseen from the road, and yet there was plenty of parking in front?
Were you to be wise, you would very likely generalize, thinking it was POSSIBLE the guy was married!
What if the two of you were walking toward your car after dinner, yet he stopped to ask you to accompany him to his car, as he had to get a present he had for you. Hopefully, you would generalize, and tell him you would simply wait for him at YOUR car in FRONT (where, hopefully, there might be plenty of potential witnesses with a cell phone).
THESE GENERALIZATIONS MAY BEGIN TO ADD UP, and, after too many had accumulated, you may want to end your association with him. They are meant to be filed away, not simply dismissed, until such point that they are too many in number to allow you to comfortably continue seeing this person.
They are otherwise known as, "red flags".
WE ALL have them, tucked way back in our subconscious.
HERE'S THE DOWN-SIDE OF GENERALIZATIONS:
...if a single generalization causes a person to dimsiss someone at once.
You're right...there were some generalizations in my previous post.
I've always been aware there ARE variables.
I HAVE met women who don't like jewelry.
I HAVE met women who wear gold-band wedding rings.
In a similar discussion, one woman said, "My wedding band is not a symbol of how little my man loves me...it symbolizes just HOW MUCH I LOVE MY MAN."
Very well said.
