I think well done tattoos are awesome. I do, too. I got one and that's all I want. But, I have never regretted getting it. |

I guess how I look at it is that I won't dress, act, or look a certain way to attract a man. If I can't be accepted for who I am, then a guy needs to move on. Should I suddenly act like I can't do things for myself merely to appease a man's ego? I get this advice all the time. Women are telling me to lie to the man; pretend to be something I am not. I find it sad that this is the cornerstone of relationships but from what I am seeing; its been like that for years. When I say its lying; they say its just a white lie so its okay. No matter how hard I try to wrap my head around that; I just can't get behind that concept.

No matter how hard I try to wrap my head around that; I just can't get behind that concept. I agree for the most part. But, I also think this can be taken to the extreme (not saying you are....just talking in general) when people seriously let themselves go and say "Well, if he/she loved me it shouldn't matter that I gained 100 pounds and look like a slob." I think it's important for both sides to take a reasonable amount of care with their appearance for their partner. And, of course it's important to be financially reasonable. My ex drove us into the ground with new cars and hunting trips. That'll break a marriage just as fast as anything. Anyway, as with all things there needs to be a balance. |

I wear what I want to wear - things I like, but I do want to be attractive to a man...that's not THE reason I wear what I wear, but if I am going on a date I will definitely take into account his POV & what he likes I guess I cannot understand not wanting to be attractive to a man |

Oh I totally agree there are extremes as you mentioned and there certainly has to be a balance; but I was talking about initial attraction of someone; not really talking about a couple who have been together for a while. |

I'm still wondering what makes a woman a tramp. Is it sleeping with someone too quickly? If so, what is too quickly? Is it sleeping with too many men? If so, what's too many? what makes a man a tramp? frankly I don;t want the wick that's been dipped in every bucket just sayin' |

I've worked with cops who would have sex with ANYONE and it was definitely gross. |

I met guys that wanted me to wear mini skirts and spike heels to a symphony as that is what they preferred but that isn't the way I dress as well it is very inappropriate for the symphony. Then they try to make me feel bad by not dressing for them. So, if a guy thinks I am unattractive to him because of that; then so be it. |

I love my tattoo! I am actually getting another one in two weeks. What are you going to get? A heartagram! I had to google it. Very nice! I have a triquetra. One day, maybe, I'll add some color to it. |
