According to Frank Sinatra, it's a many splendid thing

Although Pat Benatar says it's a battlefield

And in Tennis, it's the score of zero

Pretty much open to interpretation and subjective.


Good points. Love the perspective. :grin::thumbsup:

I would define love as having the same level of care, respect, trust and desire for another to succeed and be happy as one has for one'self.

while it's not really a belief. i think one of the biggest stumbling blocks, is the masks we all wear and getting stuck on the mask not all of each other.


I get it and used to be pretty bad about that myself. I finally realized that noone can truly know you if guarded snippets of your truth are all you offer. There truly is no reward without taking risks. flowerforyou Unfortunately, it took longer to learn that lesson than it took to learn to be guarded.

I would bet those (male or female) that use babe, baby, honey etc. use them because they can't remember names and if they ever got to kissing or more, it's easy to remember those "names" and not say some other persons real name that might be on their mind...


I'm thinking that's what sex whips were originally made for...so you could make them say your name! rofl

Different beliefs on how to handle money.
Different beliefs on how to raise children.
Different beliefs on how to treat others.


I think people tend to prepare themselves more for the first two than the last. Since the honeymoon daz-phase can keep this tendency hidden for quite awhile, it isn't until you're fully invested that you discover you may be with the rudest most obnoxious human on earth. I know the shock of that myself. frustrated

The worst one I think I've run into, is also among the most sneaky and insidious.

It's the belief in their core, that they have to like everything about living with you, and that anything that isn't fun, is proof that they are with the wrong person.

Skip out on the ironing one day, and they are on the phone to the divorce attorney. Fail to properly please them on some official holiday, and your spiritual status is called into question.

It sneaks in, because at first, they present it as a positive sign that they believe in you: "I know that you WILL do this trick right in the future, because you are so wonderful!" But later, that same "faith" changes sides, and they start tallying up each "failure" on a tote board, and you can never catch up.

My ex wife was still bringing up mistakes I'd made and holidays I'd failed to get a nice enough gift for, twenty years after the events.


i have a name for them....relationship perfectionists. Though the perfectionism tends to be very one sided.

Well if you get one of those creeps who thinks only
their less-than-bright political opinions matter
and you need to follow along, I am not sure it can be
worked through.

If you got one of those rabid types, best to jettison
early on I think.

Right up there with finding your man is really a woman.


I know people who, as a rule, don't talk about politics on dates.. I think this is a mistake unless a vow of political silence is worked into the wedding later. Eventually it will out, and what then? Could be chaos.

She believes the remote to the TV should be shared.....while he believes that this is breaking the 11th commandment.....you know....that one commandment that was left out of the bible all because Moses fell asleep and forgot to write about it.


At least he didn't fall asleep with a death grip on the remote. tongue2


Well this was God's punishment to all women.....man shall fall asleep with a death grip on the remote....the channel stuck on so soft core porn....darn you Moses! tongue2


And then there was football, and the Lord gave unto woman the universal remote and bade her go forth and root for the team of her choosing for all the days of her life. :innocent:

I would just like to feel a deep connection with somebody.... a true connection...
Sometimes you think you have it and then you think maybe not... so you start the process over again. But maybe you just need to spend more time on the connection you do have.. but what do I know...lol


A formula for when to give more and when to say when would be nice. Maybe they'll find that with the Holy Grail.

I'll start with one of the toughest for a couple to work through...

She believed he was a man, but he now believes he's a woman. It happens.

What beliefs could partners have or develope that could put a wedge in an otherwise happy relationship?

It's such a taboo word that invokes a lot of hurt feelings for some and anger for others.

But what do you all do?

Example, person A is interested in you and introduces but you have ZERO interest in this person. Not even as a friend. They're that much of a put off. Do you straight out reject them or let them off easy?

Example 2, person B is a wonderful friend but you have no interest in them for romantically or sexually. What do you do?

Example 3, person C is a great friend and you are interested in them, but you know that your personalities will clash in a horrendous battle on numerous occasions. Do you try it out and hope it goes well?

I am interested in how you all interact in this.


I may not fully understand these scenarios. So correct me if I'm not on board here.

What I'm seeing is three men I'm currently friends with; one who's highly irritating, one who I'm not physically attracted to, and one who is attractive, but irritates me.

I already know these guys. I don't want to date any of them, but they are three of the best friends I have. Though all of us have to ignore "Guy A" frequently. You're right...he can be very off-putting. :rolling_eyes:

When someone you don't know or barely know assigns you a pet name or endearment, does get under your skin?

I'm not talking about when an elderly person refers to you as Dear...probably because they've forgotten your name.

I'm not talking about the lady at the register or DMV who calls everyone Sugar...probably to avoid using the word Ma'am.

To me Baby, Sugar, Sweetheart and Darling, and the like, are endearments reserved for family, dearest friends and intimate partners. I guess to me their use is more of a right to be earned.

What say you?


I don't use babe,baby,sweetie,horny.
However, I would use beautiful, if I thought she is,pretty,adorable,dear, depending on her profile pic and how good her written articulation is.
Now ladies, would you be offended if I called you pretty,beautiful,adorable ?



I lost my quote. The reply above was to you. ^ :grin:

For Godsfriend10...:grin::thumbsup:

I never mind a sincere compliment. For me, it's being called BY an endearment or pet name, not just to discribe me. "You are a babe" is very different to me than, "Hello Babe", for example. The later infers a certain intimacy, that if you don't know me well, doesn't sit right with me. But doesn't every love a sweet compliment? Maybe not if you're terribly shy?

Hey guys,

Please be aware, there is a bug in the mobile app, where the age defaults to 30


Where can I get one of these bugs? :grin::thumbsup:
