Re: Dealbreakers

You're disgusted with these women who want only sex, money and the shallow culture. Now, pray tell, what is it that YOU want from a relationship with a woman. Darned socks? A cold beer brought to you on a tray? WHAT?

He probably wants someone he can slap around. He sounds like that kind of guy.

Those, plus dinner on the table promptly at 6:00, express (okay, *have*) no opinions that differ from his, have no access to her own money (wait until he deigns to dole some of his out so she can buy pure necessities), & sex only when he intiates it.

I imagine you spotting a little 1-inch tattoo on the back of a shoulder or on an ankle, & dropping the woman like a hot potato!

You mean ear piercings are actually *okay* with you?! (Thud!!!)

Studies have shown that a small to moderate amount of wine - or even liquor - is actually *good* for one. Hey, works for me. :-)

As if we didn't know. As I've mentioned in the past, I think you absolutely - for whatever reason - wallow in your misery. As Natalie's said, perhaps you should get some help. There's bitching & then there's bitching. Yours is on a grand scale.

Some of these women would

Hmmmm... then perhaps you'd like to explain how in the past servant girls got pregnant by the men of the household (those known as gentlemen by all others) & then got fired for being pregnant? And for other young women - there were those mysteriously long visits to far-flung relatives, returning months later. Wake up, Charles! Hint: Sex outside of marriage wasn't invented in just the last few decades. Not even in the last couple of centuries.

Hey, again.... a repeat request: I know Charles has me blocked - can someone perhaps reply - even with nothing to say, so that he sees this post below? (Blip this part out - would only further incense him!) Thanks.

Cathy

Hey, how about those Mets? :-)

Merci!

(As in baseball? I'm lucky I know the mets are a baseball team & hail from LI!)

Cathy

Merci! !

Charles just wants to be left alone so he can do his own thing:

This is nice, but... *she* - the female part of the deal - might also have an absolutely rotten day. Would he (in this case, Charles - not his father) provide the same for her (the fictitious gf/wife)?? Or would she always have to be the one to provide succor? Is it the way I 'read' him, or is Charles a bit on the "it's all about me" side? Would she have to listen to his pissing & moaning about the present state of things - in his lights - on a constant basis?

He wants all of this - which is basically what most people want. However, Charles neglects to mention: she *also* better believe in exactly what he believes in, on all fronts! And heaven *forbid* she voted for anyone left of center - ackkk! Bye-bye, lovely lady... Since no tattoos are allowed, but pierced earrings are (a little tiny nose stud okay? prob. not...), I wonder if she'd be allowed to paint her finger & toenails, too? His parameters are so very narrow, that it seems to me any of these otherwise little things could just set him off - & against - a perfectly good woman.

I just wish I'd met her years ago, so I could have given

Remember your parents, but live your own life, not your father's.

I'm sure there are a lot of good married females out there. OTOH, most of them are hell on wheels... Do you relize how many married men wake up in the morning wishing their wives would dissappear and leave the bank accounts...?

Why do you think your alone in a sea of loneliness? TV sells to that lonliness constantly. They must know they have a HUGH target market... I go to people's homes for a living. For many of them, I'm the only smiling face they see.

Cheer up.., stop judging your insides by other's outsides. Sometimes the loneliest place to be is surrounded by a bunch of idiots chasing false Gods.....
