I hate MATH!!

When I was younger I wanted a man who was good in bed and one who could keep my car running. As I got older, I wanted a man who was at least able to pay the rent and put food on the table and not come home drunk and beat the crap out of me. Now, I just don't want a man. I haven't found much use for them on a permanent basis. They are just too demanding. Oh well.

Seriously? Men are too demanding? I'm thinking you left out the letters w & o from in front of "man".

Sorry about the DP. Not what yur thinkin'.

And you ladies aren't demanding???

i don't think anyone should "settle" for less than what they consider the "full package". luckily for all of us, the details of what is a full package varies and is different for each person. thats why someone is right for us and someone else isnt - even if they are equal in many things. would you want to be with someone that didnt think you were the full package? i wouldnt.

Agreed! Nope, wouldn't want to, but....

I will compromise on a few things but some things are firm.

I mean, if a person is picky about every single detail and consider that the 'full package', more likely than not they won't find what they're looking for.

Whats important is you both feel a strong connection to each other.

Thanks for all the comments...WOW! I guess what i was trying to say no one has the FULL PACKAGE, it would be nice,but not real and no don,t settle...just try something new and exciting,we are have a preference in what we want our mates to be...or whom we find attractive, I don,t know if you guys remember this TV show where they had to date in the dark and find out about each other, some found love, some didn,t, but most of them went outside their comfort zone...being on Mingle is outside my comfort zone, i have not met anyone yet, and i really don,t care,because i love the communties@it,s a good thing...always peace

Yes we are. I was speaking from my point of view. Both sexes have the potential to be equally demanding. You just have to decide if you are willing to put up with it. I'm not. That's just me.

I don't want the total package just one as crazy as me!

FULL PACKAGE...rate your last relationship...just write down the good or bad,now take the good throw it away and focus on the bad, really think about it...did you play any part in that relationship,to have a bad list...just ask yourself...

I've rated it, and I have a crystal clear definition of what not to settle for in my next relationship. It was a learning experience, but an expensive and painful one.

Well you did...some people don,t have a cue and i was one of them, like yourself i learn hard and figure out the bad things i did in my past relationships,but who really wants to own up to their mistakes...their list...just maybe if we can figure out the answer,we would have better relationships, the ones that actual last...DREAMING MMMMM...

Good men aren't born good, they are made to be who they are. Everything depends on the society we live in. If there are too many jerks, than that cannot mean anything but that we live in a jerk-making-society.

Most men are not jerks..I just am not buying that. Society does not turn men into jerks. Their experiences cause them to become jaded and closed up. Now, when we have so many that still b!tch about the ex and
continue to blame and not take any responsibility in the ending of the relationship...well, then they just keep finding the same woman over and over again, just with a different body and face. Then they continue to get more and more jaded. There is a reason people come into our lives. If we can't come to terms with our part in an ending, we will just keep getting the lesson over and over again.
I am VERY aware of my contribution to the end of my marriage...and I remain un jaded and my heart is open. And this is why I won't date one who still complains about the ex... they are still blaming and are not open to a new relationship.

The full package, huh?

If he had some of his marbles, that would be great.

Not able to find someone with all their marbles...

Hell if she can make lasagne I'm cool...........

I try not to look at the packages people are carrying, but at the way they carry them.
