Topic:
honesty

interesting..
this is a difficult one, what I have come to realize is that not everyone is willing to receive "honesty" in the same way. This is to mean, when giving someone an honest answer - it not only requires tact, but an understanding of who the receiver is, and how they best receive information... IMHO: it is a special skill to be able to listen to someone, and provide honesty in such a way they can accept it. This can be both positive information and negative informaation just the same. Some people do not take compliments well, some do not take criticism well... and some just want to be included... basically, knowing the receiver - and how they best accept information will go a long way in effectively communicating with them - regardless of the information that is being conveyed... Everyone is different... so cannot communicate with all people in the same way!... Good luck! $.02 |

Topic:
THE AGE PROBLEM
|
|
In my own personal opinion, age IS more than just a number. I agree with some of the posters here that I wouldn't want to date someone who could be my son, nor do I want to date anyone more than 2-3 years older than myself. But it isn't MY opinion that matters--it's yours. Do what's right for you! good point, I guess if you are on the site asking for opionions, at some level you DO have an "issue" with it... *sigh* $.02 |

THE AGE PROBLEM

imho - physical age, and level of maturity are two different things. I for one see nothing wrong with a 15-16 year gap (either way) if both people are compatible, at equal maturity levels and want similar things. I do not choose on the physical age, but the maturity age, their character, belief system... ect...
does it work? Just as much as any other relationship... $.02 |

It's a fine art of balancing the knowledge of when to be " nice " and when to be a bit of an ***. Example. I was seeing this woman, and she wanted me to help her move the blinds from the bedroom into the living room. I had no problem with this ( nice ). I had just about finished hanging the first one and she started waffling about if she really wanted them there. I was standing there waiting for her to make up her mind, holding up one end of the blind and a nail in my left hand, holding the hammer in my right. I remained " nice " right up util the point I got tired of her waffling and told her to just " go get the other blind from the damn bedroom ". Now...as I was finishing hanging the first one, she came out of the bedroom...slightly stunned look on her face...and set the other blind on the couch with the words " Ya know...I have never had anyone talk to me like that before. " She gained respect for me because she knew I wasn't going to let her just walk on me. When a woman knows that you are easy/nice....most times, they will become bored with you very quickly. You have to let them know that you aren't a doormat. But you don't have to be a complete jerk to do it. You just have to know when the timing is right. I agree, it has to be real, honest... and not a doormat... another example: Scenario #1 Woman - "Awww, honey -- I broke another nail" Guy - "Awww, honey bunches... are you ok?" Result = doormat and boring Scenario #2 Woman - "Awww, honey -- I broke another nail"... Guy - "Awww, honey - sucks for you!" *beaming grin*... Result - Independence, playfulness and opportunity for humorous retort $.02 |

i agree with some above, he's not into you...
IMHO - If I am into a woman, I will call her. He said "call me" you texted him, he replies after an hour... nothing for two days you texted him again, he replies after an hour... you dont hear from him in 2 days... he's not thinking about you at all *sorry* se la vie - move on... NEXT! $.02 |

What Crap?
|

hmmm, IMHO: when you are single - you think of yourself and it's ok, because you are single... being in a relationship - I do not think it is ok to think only of yourself, you should give your SO, partner, lover, ect... the BEST of you (love, affection, consideration and respect) as well as the worst of you (leaving your socks on the floor, being late, not listening on occasion)... BUT - it shows the lack of respect, when you don't listen and compromise...
to user the OP's example "Why should she care if I leave my socks on the floor, if she cares so much - why does she simply pick them up for me"... he is missing the opposing viewpoint of the other person who is likely thinking "why does he not pick up his socks, he must not care for me if he knows this bothers me - but will not compromise"... respect understanding love affection compromise *sigh* it's not really that difficult, if you truly care for them... $.02 |
