Old Sage, I have already stated that I do.

Jean...You wouldn't have approved of my last relationship then...We
always joked around, and he always called me certain names...such as the
old bat, the bag, etc. etc.

We were together for 7 years, and for 5 and a half of those years we
were happy with each other...

I wouldn't have approved of it for myself, that's for sure. But if it
worked for you, that's great.

I would never be with a man who would call me names like that, even in
jest. And, if he values his life, he'd better not EVER call me his "old
lady."

But what I am saying is that it wasn't the words that I loved him
for...It was the look in his eyes all the time....

Ok, I don'tunderstand then. A fantastic work of nature's art &, it
seems to me, that you are complaining because people enjoy looking. Tho
the comments be crude, maybe the commentors lack education, they are
praising the work of art.
Not all have your education/class, but they are praisng the art.
Hope you can see my point.
I agree, the looking should be done with manners, for some manners are
hard to find.
I enjoy art, but try not to drool.
To ladies, NATURES MASTER WORKS

If that's what it seems like to you, then you're either not reading, or
or not fully comprehending, my posts.

THANK YOU DEAR SAGE...

I don't understand then, sorry
Will try to learn.

I don't mind when a man is checking out the merchandise...Makes me feel
young and sexy...The way that I should be....

Well, I don't know what's so hard to understand..and I don't feel like
reiterating or copying and pasting...

...but, several times in my posts, I've stated things like "and that's
GREAT," etc., etc., etc.

and things like ...

"But that's not ALL we want to be appreciated for."

and things like...

"But there is more to me than my boobs and legs or looks."

So why you got the impression I didn't want to be appreciated for my
looks or sexuality is a mystery to me.

I've said all along that what I take issue with is the fact that, for so
many men, their words and actions indicate that that's ALL that they
care about.

What they may be thinking inwardly is really a moot point because what
they state and how they behave outwardly is how (at least I) perceive
them to really be.

And I just don't like men who cannot seem to understand that a woman is
more than just "a thing of beauty."

I love looking at men, too. Handsome faces, toned body, great legs, nice
butt, broad shoulders, beautiful eyes and smile, great hair, and
nice...umm..unit, but there is sooooooooooooo much more about a man that
I appreciate.

And women typically demonstrate, both in actions and words, that they
appreciate men for ALL of the qualities they possess, not just the
physical ones, a whole lot more than vice versa.

Yes, of course I love it if a man finds me attractive and
sensuous/sexy...but if that's ALL he likes about me, if that's ALL he
seems to care about...it's major turnoff time.

Jean I think you just don't understand that most men do
appreciate woman for more than their looks but just
have a hard time trying to conveying that.Oh and stop looking at my butt
LOL

*Looks at Scotty's butt*

Cute Butt, Darlin

Great now I feel dirty.

*Leans over and whispers in Scott's ear*

*watches Scott turn beet red*

lmao....

Scotty I am liking the new pic!

OK time for my list. Does it have to be only 10? I will try to keep it
down to that

1. Honesty
2. Compassionate
3. Creative
4. Sense of humor
5. Apprietiative
6. Warm
7. Caring
8. Understanding
9. Adventurous
10. Affectionate

There is more but I said I would only keep it down to 10

Well, that's why we're having this conversation, isn't it? Trying to
figure out WHY men have a hard time conveying that.

Because they sure don't have a hard time conveying comments and gestures
and looks that are very explicit in nature, but they can't bring
themselves to tell a woman they appreciate her for anything more than
that?

If they don't say it, or can't demonstrate it, what's the use of
claiming it's true? I mean, actions speak louder than words, and so many
of you (by your own admission) can't even manage to get the WORDS out!

A person can state (whatever) is true all they want to but, if a man's
going to convince me it's true, then he needs to show me, somehow.

How? I dunno...could start with something as easy as "Hey, I appreciate
you." "I love the way you laugh." Or, "Thank you for doing that for me."
Or, "You're a wonderful friend to me."

Any number of things.

you've been reading Penthouse Forum again huh

Thanx Whisper, got sick of people staring at my guitar lmao

LOL...that's a riot. No, my reading material is a tad more
"intellectual," like the Sears catalog or the back of a box of Cheerios
or something like that.

That was meant for Shenadra , Jean, some of things she whispered in my
ear.
