My Mom and Dad would have scoffed at terms like submissive and dominance. (Even way back in the 50's.)...It seems weird to hear these terms being used in 2013 and taken so seriously....My parents had an equal marriage way back in the early days. And their friends had marriages like this too...Couples like my parents got married during or right after World War II.. Women worked in factories while the men were off fighting the war...Everyone had just come out of the Depression. My Mom dropped out of school and went to work to support her entire family during the Depression...Men and women struggled to find any kind of work in order to survive and stay afloat.. Even kids tried to earn extra money during the tough times...I never heard talk about women submitting to men when I was growing up. We were all suppose to pitch-in and pull our own weight and work together as a family and team...My Dad played an active role in shopping and cooking and "house stuff." And my Mom helped Dad repair the family car or do plumbing work or whatever needed to be done. And I was expected to help both of them with everything.

If there is a man out there that can put me in my place... THAT is the man for me! Im still mouthy and a bigger smart AZZ, I could not be... so obviously, NO such man exists! I am opposite of thinking like this. Any man that would be dumb enough to try and put me in my place would have my size 10 military boot up his butt. Respect is important to me and I couldn't see myself as being anything less than his equal. If he wants that; then by all means he should just get himself a dog that he can order around. I would think that any intelligent being would want a say in the relationship and would want to contribute something. JMO |

How about camping? That is practical and away more cheaper than going to Tahiti. Not quite as romantic as going to some place exotic like Tahiti though. I'm still curious as to what Dodo considers a practical vacation. Though, I don't think that being cheaper has to mean less romantic. Or that romantic has to mean really expensive. I guess it depends on the person. Some people feel that a tropical Island with a 5 star hotel is romantic whereas they wouldn't find a camping trip very romantic as they aren't getting pampered. Funny thing is that I quite enjoy cooking especially outdoors. I went camping with three guys and did all the cooking for the whole weekend. However; they did help with the clean up and showed much appreciation for what I did. Yeah, most of us do want those types of vacations but this was just a weekend camping trip. |

Topic:
Valentines blunder
|
|
And this is why most men are happy they are single on valentines day. Its glorious to give a gift to someone who has no expectations and fully appreciates any gesture. Its absolutely horrible to attempt to get a gift knowing its intent is to satisfy an expectation and knowing that the gift is going to be judged if it meets the expectation or falls short. Where is the love in that? |

I wouldn't want to have a parent/child type of relationship with my spouse. YUK!...I don't want to be the boss or ultimate "top dog" and I wouldn't want to push my husband into the "top dog" or parent role either...When my husband was alive we both had a "hand" in everything and worked together to make decisions.

If you're sad about being alone on Valentine's day, just remember.... No one loves you on the other days of the year either. This message was brought to you by a cranky old man. Awww. That is so sad but I know people do love me all year long. I had a few of them contact me over the last week to see if they could help me because I have been very ill. I don't need romantic love to know I am loved.

How many people have more or less given up hope/thoughts of someone being with them because of whatever reasons? I know navygirl has. And I have. How about you, are you on here still looking, or are you here for companionship/interaction only. Krupa and soufie and leigh and manoffewwwords obviously don't have to answer. Oh yeah, neither does captain and eileena. If there are more couples, just let us know! Can I answer anyway Hippy?...There's something I want to tell you
Of course you can, it's just I know you be taken! What I want to tell you is this....People with a heart like yours never give up, they just think they do until the right one comes along and WHAM!! you know something amazing is about to happen  ...I joined Mingle at the suggestion of a good friend and fellow member....Prior to joining, I spent about 10 months on another site...That was my first experience with online dating sites and to say I was naive would be putting it mildly ...Shortly after joining that other site, I noticed ManO and was immediately smitten We spoke in email, somehow got our wires crossed, and that was the end of it ....When I joined Mingle, I told myself I was done with online dating and I just wanted to make friends, kill time, and have a laugh or two ....Didn't know Mingle had an awesome group of writers and poets, incredible forums......AND,..... I had no idea my guy was a member!! ...He sent me a friend request the very first day!! ..I couldn't believe it, I was beyond happy and determined to get to know him this time ...The rest you pretty much know...For three months, we bantered and played around on the boards before deciding we wanted to meet, find out if the chemistry was as strong in real time as it was in cyber land..It was ....Never say never Hippy! ...Check out ManO's join date ....We all know love can happen when we least expect it..If I searched the world over, I would never find a better man.... I totally believe if it's supposed to happen, it will.
Thank you Greeneyes!...As to your grief, I think you are doing an amazing job coping under such extraordinarily difficult circumstances...If you ever need a shoulder, you can count on me...

Topic:
Do you get off on foreplay?
|
|
I think foreplay is an important part of a relationship, not only does it get both partners mentally and physically ready for sexual intercourse not only that, but more importantly I feel foreplay leads to a more satisfying sexual experience for both partners both mentally and physically. I'm not really an expert on this matter by no means and I maybe I'm wrong, if I am someone older and wiser feel free to correct me. Welp that's what I was going to said and now I've gone and said it so take it for what you will. |

Sex without foreplay is like hot apple pie without ice cream, life without music, spring without flowers, nights without stars, and mornings without coffee..... |

I'm happy to be my age today..I wouldn't want to go back in time. And I'm just not attracted to older men who have an addiction to Barbie dolls or young women who are the same age as their daughters...Basically these type of men are just too shallow for me...If I ever decide to start dating again I know I will be looking for a needle in a haystack...But I won't mind waiting for the right man...My husband was my needle in a haystack. I waited 12 years to find him..And he was definitely worth the wait!

Romance addicts...

Some people don't have a very realistic view about love or marriage...They aren't really prepared for a life of dirty socks and bills to pay and nights when their partner is dead-tired from a long and hard day at work...Life can still be pleasant even though there is stuff to do besides just sitting around and hugging and kissing and doing non-stop "baby talk."...I think it helps to have a realistic view about marriage versus expecting married life to be about love, love, love and more love (and romance galore) day and night...Don't you?
Well, yeah... I'd have to agree with that! I guess that the word love has so many different meanings that I over-looked what you were referring to. So thanks for taking the time to explain it further. In regard to marriages/relationships that "fail", I don't think it has so much to do with a loss love... it's more like a loss of friendship/respect. Love has endurance... imho... but some fall in love with aspects of another and don't take the time to see/know the whole person. How folks express love is their own business... sometimes two peoples' ways can conflict though... and if we don't keep our eyes open in the early days, things can pile up fast. |

I LOVE romance. I think I'd love to be spoiled with attention and affection. Gifts, surprise trips and dates. I've never had that. Always had the plain dude with nothing on his mind but how fast he can get me into the sack with what little he had to offer me. Stupid. Not doing it ever again. I might get tired of romance though if the guy went all out all the time. I wouldn't know. I would love to have a man pick me out something he wanted me to wear...but there is a finesse that needs to be used. He can't require I wear something that made me feel unwanted if I didn't. Etc, with anything else along these lines. But I don't think it makes me an addict, however I've been left to "jones" for romance like an addict being so deprived.

navygirl..I can be a little picky when it comes to my clothes too..My husband was good at picking out bathrobes for me. He knew my style and likes and dislikes when it came to snuggly and cuddly bathrobes...He could be a little picky about his clothes too. So it was better for him to go out shopping and choose what he wanted for himself. Same goes for me...We didn't want to push or force each other into things...No guilt-trips. We didn't want to impose our "will" or "ways" on each other in other words.. We were happy and we worked great as a team. (And as best friends.)...But we enjoyed being separate and unique individuals in our own right too.

My worst nightmare would probably be a guy who said: "Let's do it!" (With no enticement whatsoever!)...A "John Wayne" type of man who didn't want to mess-around with words or anything he considered to be "sissy stuff."

My answer is complicated...I haven't really given-up on love...But I still have some grief-work left to do over losing my husband and both my sons..I don't feel totally "free and clear" quite yet and ready to begin "anew" with someone else...I had love. And I have lots of happy memories...Maybe I'll feel ready to date again at some point down the road. Not sure! Time will tell!
