No, I am not lonely.
That, I learned from women.
If you are alone for long enough, it either breaks you or you get used to it.
Actually I prefer solitude, if you would define that as the absence of a “significant other”, I am not a hermit.
When I was sick and broke they wanted nothing to do with me, when I was well again they did, when I slipped again they no longer did and so further and so on…
So, its all conditional, is it?
I am a utility, am I?
Well then, if I am to be your rock, you are to be the light of my life.
I am not to show weakness or desperation (btw AC is right, never, ever show that), if I am to be strong and decisive in the face of adversity, if I am to be unfaced by your emotional turmoil, you better bring something to the table. *
And, whining, bitching and nagging are not female virtues.
Warmth, support and a certain emotional generosity in and out of the bedroom would be.
- more than a vajay- every woman has that.
Hamsters have that.
At least female ones.[/quote]
So orion: are sick, broke women on your short list of desirable long term partners? Just wondering.
Also, it’s bullshit that you can’t show weakness or desperation. I’ve seen both in the two years I’ve been involved with my current guy and far from ruining things, these elements (displayed by each of us in turn) have deepened it. Attraction was easy. Sexual chemistry was easy. Liking one another was easy. We’re both healthy, relatively good natured, fun people. The hard part was (and still is) negotiating things like exclusivity, blending our wacky families, determining whether we as a couple are going to be able to negotiate practical differences (will he want to go back to his home state? will I be willing to follow?). We’ve been weak and desperate because we like one another so much, it’s terrifying. So we did things to keep ourselves safe (game?) and then got all freaked out when the other couldn’t cope with the perceived rejection and pulled back.
You’ve been given bad info about so many things.
