I guess I'd have to leave the house for that to happen though.

I do, I like the idea very much, but for me, with the anxiety and depression I end up a nervous wreck. I'll feel all anxious and think, oh no something's wrong, he's not called in like and hour, oh my god, wait am I just anxious, or is something wrong?
And being depressed, and I've noticed with other people who have depression too, you can pick up correctly very quickly on other people's vibes so you might be anxious because there is something wrong, even though they say "No, everything's fine I Love you more every single day baby"
And if happens often enough, when you've been reassured and found out there WAS something wrong, like 15 other girlfriends or a wife..
Or that you're working as a secretary so he can go to law school and when he's finished, he's going to pay for your school, because you hate being a secretary, and then you find out he bought a new car with the money you gave him for law school, and isn't attending law school, but cruising around all day.. in the new car picking up women.That story is true, it happened to a friend of mine a real honest to goodness friend, not a friend of a friend who heard from a neighbour..
Maybe if I could own one I could relax.

Yeeeaahhh, I like the idea of owning a boyfriend, haha. Like you could go to walmart and there's a significant other section, with clearance and everything.

That made me giggle, especially the clearance part.

Hmmmm...allow me to speak for da men (or some of us...or..oh I don't know...okay...just me!..heh) It seems to me that women always have this MASSIVE notwithstanding clause at the bottom of their motives. It basically says.."(A Guy) can't...look ANYTHING like this(if they don't resemble something close to Brad Bitt...and god forbid they have a 5 o'clock shadow!!..)...do anything like that(like..ummm..breathe...get hungry...accidentally spill a drink...be a bit of a geek...oh gawwd!!)...can never say this (we think you are "HOT"...and would...well...that can wait..hahaa :-) ...are supposed to do this (No..not ALL guys like NFL and NASCAR!)..."..and I will continue this list latter on, because I gotta go to work. Oh...and I am one of those touchy-feely guys people think are weird because I look after people for a living. (I am a counsellor.)
Just IMHO...Not tryin' to start a battle of the sexes...lol..:-)

That's so not true for me it's hard to even acknowledge it.
I've dated a lot of men, and only two could be considered handsome in the typical sense.And it's not true for any woman I am close to.
And have you seen how many men, who could be considered homely, are with women who love them very much? Sometimes outwardly gorgeous women?
Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel? They were together for a long time and she certainly
didn't need his money.
Mia Farrow and Woody Allen? She didn't need his money either. There are so many I won't even go on.

Women are really tolerant about men's appearance. The sticky part for them is commitment.
What people round here (where I live) care most about, I think, is that people speak to each other in a kind and friendly way.
That's the best thing about getting older.

Why are you posting this to my message? Even though it was addressed to everyone, I feel hurt that you wrote your post in response to my message, because I know if you are talking about something I said. I don't understand why you seem so bitter to a post where I poured my heart out.

Jay, sorry about my post to you. I think I completely misunderstood your post. I thought you were being mean. But then I read it again and it doesn't sound like you are being mean. Sorry.

I always thought it was the other way around. Then again, that is just a stereotype.

Women go to so much more trouble with their appearance than men, who are (at least here) more likely to say 'I don't care what I look like'.
Women will put up (not notice or care?) with a lot of (especially physical) ugliness in men, in return perhaps for money/power.
The need for commitment that women have is perhaps biological and related to the fact that they are the ones who bear children.

..please let's all remember not to put *all* members of either gender into single boxes. My "standards" for men are nothing like what Jay says, and what I'm like with/want/need from men is nothing like what Sigismund says. Plenty of times all or some of all tables mentioned here are turned. And I'm oh so sure I'm not the only one who feels... nay, knows this to be true. (Altho it may end up seeming like it, with so little posting going on at all here lately!)
(Oh, Angela -- I know you already realized this but I wanted to say I'm sure Jay's post wasn't really related to you at all. He's written about his opinions on this often. Wishing you all the best! :)

trying to make you feel better,
It's absolutely the truth too, which works out well. : )I'm sure Jay's post wasn't really related to you at all. He's written about his opinions on this often. Wishing you all the best! :)
