ok so we are all flawed. unfortunately a large percentage of women are hard to tolerate. Have always been a tomboy and have always worked with men, can get along with women but have more fun with the men. I think because I have proven I can do "almost" anything they can and also because I can put them in their place when needed fortunately it dosn't happen very often. They always bend over backwards to help me and vice versa.

My story is not different from most. It doesn't make me any stronger than others. It is simply mine.
Raised by a single mom content to live solely on the child support provided by my father. She lacked direction and drive. Constantly blaming our short comings on others. Constantly emotionally frail.
Somewhere in my mind I vowed to never be the weak woman I saw her to be. I put work ahead of everything, sometimes to include my children, justifying it with words of "I will teach them to be strong, driven, and dependant on no one but themselves" I have kept myself emotionally unavailable to most I encounter.
I don't specifically regret my actions. Though I have learned from them and I am taking the steps to correct my short comings. I am working to foster better relationships with the two people in my life that I have, from the day they were born, named "my reasons"
My mom was like that. I loved the gladiator nature in her. At the same time she was a frightened little girl inside and not many people got the privilege to see that part of her. I got my work ethic from my mother. Extremely strong when it came to taking care of biznez and improving her living arrangements at each opportunity. She moved to a nicer house every few years till she finally reached her dream home on the top of a hill with an ocean view. When she was dying, she told me "I did it! I made a life for myself without a man. It can be done".


You should be very proud of yourself for what you have accomplished and also seeing your mistakes and taking them in stride Congratulations

To everyone who has shared a moment or an admission please remember it is wonderful to meet someone who is so in touch with their feelings..... it is rare. So many flounder around reeling in pain from wounds of the past, racing forward trying to get away to leave the wounds behind.... but you can't leave a part of you in the past. Wherever you have been, whatever you have done, what ever has happened to you stays within you and travels forward with you. We are today the survivor of who we were yesterday.... and so long as we are still breathing, who knows what opportunities tomorrow will hold. What a priceless gift to be given - the opportunity to live another day

I wanted to share my insights on things and whatever you read now keep it in your heart and never lose it. In life we walk many walks and roads, sometimes we lose track of who we are and where we are going, but there is always this spark on our hearts that will put us back on the right track. Life is a mystery but rather one that is full of surpises that even the most talented writer cannot come up to write a simple scenario, they make mystery movies and at the end of it you get to understand what the movie was all about, but in lifes mystery the movie never ends and you keep discovering and wondering about it with every sunrise and sunset.
In life we go shopping and looking to buy what we think we need, from a bottle of perfume to clothing to household accessories, we wander around and shop and all of a sudden we fall in love with an item that takes our breath away, we fall in love with it from the first sighting and we keep wondering if we should buy it. It could be an expensive item or it could be we think we will wait and find something better. We go home not buying it but it is on our mind we think about it all night, suddenly we realize that I have to have that item in my life it gave me such joy and I fell in love with it. We sleep thinking I am going to buy it first thing in the morning. We make the trip to purchase only to find someone else has bought it and we regret not having bought it right away.
Love is just like that when you have a chance at it you should grab it and hang on tight to it. There are many people we meet in our lives. But only a few will leave a lasting impression on our minds and hearts. It is these people that we will think of often, and who will always be important to us as true friends. You can replace material things but you can never replace love, but you will always have it in your heart. Have you ever missed someone that you can't replace in your life. I have and I find now that it is only because there is someone else that will come along that I will miss even more. That is all I can hope for.

I think we are off topic now the question originally was why do men ask so many questions before wanting to meet is it because they have something better to do with their time?

Why must I fill out a report card before meeting a man. I have been asked to answer 20 questions. Yet he hasn't answered those same 20 questions for me. I find it scary to give out to much information about myself before we meet especially when he has told me he is falling for me, how can that be when we havn't met. With me I want the meet first if there is no spark it is not going any further.

Like you, I'd rather meet first to see if there is a spark...The 20 questions can wait until you meet...If this guy is falling for you before you even meet, I'd consider either meeting him real soon or not at all...

Anyone that falls for somebody without meeting them first has issues...Big, huge, humungus issues...

Clingy, needy, overreative, probably possessive, are just a few of the adjectives about this guy that come to mind.

Yes that was what I was thinking to he is also widowed and I think desperate this is scary

yes, it is scary...I would say that for each 10 yrs. of marriage the surviving spouse needs about 1 year of 'me' time before getting involved with another long term relationship...

If he is still talking up his spouse, he's not ready for a relationship...If he's falling for you too quickly, that is scary as it reeks of neediness that only time can heal....

I recommend you tread lightly with this guy and keep your emotions in check....

OK now he has been widowed 6 years and I have only been widowed 2 1/2 but was married for 38 years and yes I still talk about my spouse so maybe I am the one that is not ready. maybe just a friend with benefits
i dunno...there's no set rules...if you feel ready and are able to move forward in your life, than you 'are'...
I think maybe I am the one having the problem I don't like to be pushed I like to go slow and easy and enjoy what is happening take my time to think about what is happening I havn't dated in 40 years and things have changed I don't sleep around, the person has to mean something to me but eventually that itch has to scratched.

I never make a woman fill out a report card.
Instead, I run her fingerprints through the FBI data-base.

Keep it up & I am going to confiscate all of your cats even the *******


You just don't want me checking your fingerprints. :tongue:

yes you never know what you will find, on second thought I am interested in knowing, run them
