Ok, then.
Perhaps things are exactly as you say they are. I am rarely arrogant enough to be 100% certain that I am right, and the other guy is wrong.
But I have to ask: What has all of this alleged “insight” done for you? Has it somehow allowed you to find a healthy, longterm, happy-making relationship?
Which kind of brings me back to my original comment: One has to wonder why the insightful gurus never seem to be the ones in successful longterm relationships.[/quote]
Also, I would really like to know how good my guess was.
Of course I do not want any details about your wife, just whether I was right or not.

Right about what? Not sure what you’re asking.[/quote]
So, why does it work with your wife?
Statistically speaking, she must not have had too many partners before you married and the ones she had were longterm and not drunken hook ups, there should be a SMV difference slightly in your favor and you are instinctively manly enough to push her buttons, maybe with a little exotic appeal thrown in the mix, also working in your favor.

Yeah, I guess what you wrote is true.
But then again it was also pretty much true of most of the women I was involved with. If I think about it, if you let me drop one of your “elements” for each other woman, it was true for them all. But none of those relationships lasted 20 years like this one did.
And I fail to see the insight involved in knowing that a LTR is more likely with someone who doesn’t freely have sex with others. Hell, the same thing is true for men.
Bottom line, and as Em has said over and over, it depends on what you select for. Most men have trouble seeing that you can’t make a solid relationship based on sex, but you can find your way to great sex if you truly like, respect, and value your partner. Which is not to say that attraction isn’t necessary; it is, but it’s not sufficient.
These boards filled with guys searching to find the best way to get laid. Then later they complain about how crazy, opportunistic, whatever, women are. They train like crazy for the 50 yard dash, and then wonder why they can’t complete a marathon. You want a good woman? Make that your priority and you’ll find one.

Your post sounds pretty damn good to me, bud.[/quote]
Meh, what the fuck do you know? You’re just one of them happily married guys.

Damn right I am! After 20+ years of screwing/dating/relationships, I finally found someone that I WANT to be with for the rest of my life. I was ok with being single, too… but…
I MORE than paid my dues to get here. As i’m sure you did, also ![]()
