Topic: Make Love, Not War... | |

I hate rolls and expectations. Just let people be who they are. Don't expect them to fill some roll. Damned straight! Veto on the labels por favor. ..but sometimes roles are good.. Like you play a french maid.. who's been naughty. I play the rich millionaire who delivers punishment. Not all roles are bad.. *can already see someone whipping out Websters for this reply* That's just yo fantasy Sooooooooo? :] |

Darling. What's not to get? Men and Women are different. That's all. When a Man or a Woman acknowledges that....Great. When we PRETEND we are all the same...we are living a lie. I am merely seeking a man who understands....men and women are different. In spite of that, they are the same. I get it! Men and women are different but in spite of their differences they are the same. Makes perfect sense... |

The difference between men and women.
http://www.blessed2bless.us/by-others/difference-between-men-and-women.html Seriously, though people, men or women, need to just be allowed to be who they are. We may be different in many fundamental ways, but in the end we all experience the same things for the most part and are trying to become our own individual selves. I think we have moved past the idea of roles in society. Maybe not everyone, but even those groups are slowly disappearing. |

When you appreciate and respect each other and each set of skills.............
There should be no.....Conflict! If I understood correctly. |

So. My question is this...Is it possible to have this type of relationship? I mean-Traditional roles while having our own opinions-without conflict????? Not entirely sure what you mean by 'traditional' roles. As in, man goes to work, woman maintains house and family? Men are good at some things. Women are good at other things. Sometimes-their gifts cross paths...sometimes they have the same skills...but....make no mistake....MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT THE SAME.I merely want to bring 2 talents 2 THE FOREFRONT. And...I want to find a man who 'gets" what I am saying. Had one before...and unfortunately he passed away...way before his time.................I am upbeat and in the way, and on the way! I am not a traditional woman by any means and yep the war starts. I get the "its a man's job" line and it pisses me off. I don't want any man outlining what I can or can't do as a woman. I did a man's job for 20 years in the military and I should be able to do what I want as should he. I think if we can't work together equally; then don't waste my time. I am not going to make a guy a sandwich while he does my renos. That is insulting to me as a person. |

Forgive me for insulting you. That was not my intent. Let's just face some cold hard facts...You're a woman and I'm a woman. We are not Men. Making a sandwich does not make me less of who I am....nor does it make the man less of who he is! It's a gesture. I've had several female/male relatives in every war since the this country was founded.....if they had to play passive/dominant/invisible...so be it!
My point was-why can't I bask in an old fashioned traditional role? Pretending to be as tough as a man isn't working for ME. Again, forgive me for offending you. |

No no, you didn't insult or offend me. I just get offended when a man treats me like that. I think you can certainly bask in a traditional role and I am sure many men would love that in a woman. I was just saying that wouldn't work for me. I suppose I am used to the military way of life and having to take a man's role that it is too hard to adjust. Don't get me wrong, I would take a man's help but it has to be an equal partnership with me. I realize that it doesn't work for all women. My apologies for the misunderstanding. |

That is YOU ALLOWING THAT to transform into a consciousness. NOT HIM..It is WE who MAKE OURSELVES,,NOT ANOTHER. I could NEVER be YOU,,nor YOU I..and WE both have to know where WE stand on life and US,,and IN THAT,,,is where MANY separate to be with someone who is NOT their ONE, to share a life with. Can ANYONE put a dog and cat together and expect THEM to be that same as if they were BOTH of THE SAME? Your living on Earth and all time spent here,,is with YOU making life continue to go on..and if your feeling that you have to be someone else,,to be loved or admired,,then ITS YOU WHO ARE DECEIVING THEM,,Not them deceiving you... LIVE TO JUST BE YOU,,and BE HAPPY,,and LOVE YOURSELF,,Then,,the RIGHT MAN,,will find you,,,AS YOU,,,and LOVE YOU FOR THAT.. |

Nowadays, I live to be happy and free. |

We can ALL take a LOT,,from our other, IF our other GIVES US BACK what we gave-up.. But NEVER shall two people BE,,ACT,or FEEL their exact SAME all the time so differences,,and faked left and faked rights,,will always be a presence within them and their relationship. To ME,,,THATS just part of LOVE.. Their a BIG difference in asking,,and telling. Also in saying ok,, but feeling discouraged the other has to also NOT want you to go agaisnt YOUR SPIRIT of YOU, Only through communicating THAT to each other can you feel happy in heart of it being asked,, |
