I thought this was about the give and take in a realtionship. Was the question about material possessions? I'm confused. As usual. I believe you're right on the first score. We have a collective short attention span. I wasn't referring to the sudden turn towards sexual innuendoes. It wouldn't be mingle without those. Well if I weren't confused I'd be sure I was not on Mingle.

I'm a giver who discerns who genuinely needs giving.

I'm a giver who is learning how to take what is needed... That's the healthy way! I think the problem here is the word "take". It carries a negative connotation. I think he should have used the word "receive".

Yes, You are right!!...It's semantics and I'm glad you caught it Ruth...When I say "take" I assume peeps understand that "the taking" is never at another's expense...Receive is a MUCH BETTER word....

not surprising that everybody is going to claim to be a giver. imo nobody is as giving, humble, nice, loving, modest as they like to think they are.

I am a giver, because it's better to give than receive. I believe that giving to or helping others helps to relieve stress in the body and is therefore beneficial to our health. The more humanity you have in your counter, the more item drops you will get.

I take what is alotted, and give what I think should be alotted. Course I've tried to live by the "Golden Rule" most of my Adult life.

I'm a giver! I give my all and then some. To expect nothing in return. But i'm slowly learning how to receive, very gratefully I might add. So receiving not taking is way better.

I'm a taker. Probably because i've never been in a relationship long enough to really give.
