Thats probably sarcasm too lol

Hahahahaha!!! Omg rolling

The first female poster nailed it.
the rest has been too individual, sarcastic, or nonsense. Truth is, men dont really care what women want... you can tell them with actual WORDS and they still wont do it. This is why we console ourselves with shoes.

I don't like them where I can see them all the time.
On women, I don't like the chest pieces and shoulders, etc, it looks too manly to me.
I also don't like too many tatts on men. One is good, two tops.
I think people are going too crazy with the tattooing these days.
Only because it seems like a trend to me, and that's not a good excuse to put something permanent on your body.
The world changes too much.
I get sick of people copying each other and following trends to show off.

I have two myself... I got them long before this craze...
but they are life experience tattoos.
They are self designed from a place and time of my life.
They are on my hip/leg so only show when wearing swim clothes.
This is my preference for myself.

If women want big tatts all over that's their business, I don't judge them by their tatts...but I do think they might one day regret it.
I can't find too many pictures I loved so much I needed to wear it in ink on my skin.

thing is... even though we both agree to not babysit a grown man... he will never be just what you want. By far. He will have things that you may not think you could or would deal with...but when you deeply love someone, you can't help but give them every chance you can. No matter what it is sometimes. I'm not trying to educate you. JMO
I think maybe it was my children that taught me you can't walk away from someone you truly love...you can't just walk away from your kids...you don't have the option when you have children that are difficult. So I guess I see men the same. It takes a lot to make me walk away. I don't do it at the drop of a hat. To me, when I'm truly in love, to walk away wouldn't feel much better unless my partner was a complete mess in everything. So maybe I need an opinion that is at least thinking of themselves in a real relationship that has the time and energy to put into it.

Hmmm... Ok, thank you for giving me this to think about. Once again I have proved that there are a lot of differences in people. Thank you Navy.

Here is the proper definition of jealousy:

"mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear of rivalry, or unfaithfulness.
vigilance in maintaining or guarding something."
Second sentence is what I was referring to.

Insecurity:

lack of confidence or assurance; self-doubt:

I would never feel a lack of confidence about myself, but I am not in control of my partner, so maybe I have lack of confidence about my relationship or my partner's intentions for it. I think insecurity does lead to jealousy, but is not what I am asking about.
*Hypothetically speaking*

You seem to chose to walk away for many reasons. NO offence Navy, but I've read you say this many times. Something for you to think about maybe. I know you said you are ok to be single for the rest of your life, but you may ensure you will be if you don't learn to stay and deal with some of it.
Sometimes the option to walk away, should be over something more important like infidelity, or too many lies..true love endures and is patient.

I agree that someone is pathetic if they are expressing their emotions for attention.

True... and of course ....but you'd never feel even the slightest bit insecure about your relationship's future if your man never cared there were other men trying to get to you?

AH! So! you said:
"If someone is is hanging around your partner enough to make you feel insecure about the relationship, you communicate that clearly and concisely to them.."
You skipped something here I think....
In order for you to even type that sentence...You felt jealousy to have the conversation with your partner. That's what I was talking about. Imagine being with someone that didn't even CARE to have that conversation with you. This is the essence of my post I think you and Navy misunderstood.

I think not feeling/showing it even a little bit would mean that to me too.

I guess I'm not talking about immature jealousy about everything someone does. Or keeping someone on a short leash. Just a general display that someone cares whether you are with them or not. I personally cannot keep throwing back someone over everything, that will ensure staying single forever.

Just for the record...this is not personal to my circumstances.
This topic is about a friend and is just for my curiosity.

I do however, feel pretty good when my man steps up and runs off a guy that is only hanging around trying to get to me. It shows me he is willing to protect what he has and he loves me enough to care. If people are free to come and go in your life, then the possibility of losing that person to someone else is very real. Sometimes people are easily influenced when there are troubles in a relationship, and having someone threatening around during that time can cause a permanent mistake in weak moments to make your relationship even worse, or end it all together.
If my man saw another man hanging around and trying to take me away, but my man didn't care?? I'd worry that he really doesn't care whether I stick around or not. So I posted this to see what others would say.

EXCELLENT!!

Well put, i like that too. Thx

Dang! I SO thought of bringing up a good drama movie too! You beat me to it

I agree with jealosy being a bad thing but what about that one situation when your partner notices a person that keeps coming around? Keeps threatening your position with the one you love? Do you lay back and let it work itself out? What if you take that same senerio and lets say your partner doesnt even show they care that there is someone trying to wedge between you? Is protecting what's yours different than jealousy?
