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 ... ![]() 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. Wow Trubl - I'm sorry ![]() My comments were written with a much softer voice in my head than they appear to be read with. It wasn't anything angry directed at you ... it was just a point that some of us actually care about the people we are with, that we want to work with them and not all of us 'need' a lot of stuff. I am sorry if it read differently. As for the Sugar Daddy pic. I saw it used in here before and I used it here in a joking way. I thought that would have been evident by my post 'just kidding' and by my last line in the longer post. |
