Nah, bitter isn't good, neither is sarcasm

It takes special people to appreciate dark chocolate. ..

And a special man who searches for good quality dark chocolate

My apologies but it’s hard because milk chocolate is so good and then there is white chocolate and unsweetened iced tea. I will try to be more positive about dark chocolate but I am drawing the line at any kind of nuts. On the other hand spinach is awesome!

Forgive me for the “bitter” post?

I want a gentleman, who knows how to burn in the kitchen.

When it comes to love...
A man who cherishes me like the goddess I am... then I will adore him for being the man he is

Hagen Daz makes a great white chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream.

Not sure it will go well with the spinach though.

So coachred, what do you feel would be more helpful as far as the topic goes and what's being posted here?

Bit old-fashioned in this regard but as a woman I need patience, tender loving care, and a good man friend who will remember my birthday, which falls around Easter and very few remember since they are spending time with their families. Nothing fancy, just a message or a night out before-hand to show you care. It gets tougher as we age, basically not to be taken for granted.

I need to restring my ukulele.

Another "special" question, like in the past, do not kill me, IMHO, no one knows the answer for this question.

It’s all part of our master plan.

I will have to agree.

Fair enough. Serious answer.

What a woman needs.
Obviously my life experience is only as an observer. I believe every woman is unique and beautiful. Often “needs” are confused with wants. But a healthy self image is an often ignored need. Our culture tells us that we accomplish that by focusing on our “wants” but in my life experience a woman with a healthy self esteem is focused on loving others unconditionally. I suspect it is impossible to be negative when doing something helpful for a friend simply because they are your friend. As men, too often in relationships instead of supporting her self esteem we take advantage of her “lack” in order to gain her dependence. We compliment to be the “special voice “ instead of helping her see that her unique gifts are worthy with or without us. This sounds evil, but simply reflects that men also need a healthy self esteem.

Every person, man or woman, has amazing gifts and a life purpose. We also have the power of choice. When a lack of self esteem is present, we are apt to make more choices that bury our gifts and derail our purpose.

My advice to men. Stop trying to be the “one” to meet her need so you can win her over and simply help her uncover her gifts so she can flourish.
Women: you don’t need my perspective you are amazing so go and embrace what makes you unique. Be willing to trade happiness (temporary) for Joy (constant).

I know I know!! Too much and too long. Never ask a simple coach to answer a complex question. Lol

Will look into that flavor of ice cream. But still not buying the dark chocolate. I suspect you secretly crave spinach instead.

Sometimes it takes a minute to tell the truth. I believe this is very true very often.

Which ironically counts for the ice cream too. Hagen Daz does makes a great white chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream.
