I think that is the woman making the man feel good about himself. It can be very potent.

Jimmer, then I guess I misunderstood Karuuna's response after I asked that question.

The difference between love and lust was something that took me a while to learn.

Baby, as Jimmer pointed out, I never said your question was anything but honest. I did question why you asked it though, as in, what was the point. I was trying to head off any more hurt feelings, since it is quite likely that some possible answers would cause them. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I do truly hope you continue to post.

Thanks Jimmer & Karuuna. I really am not as fragile as I might appear to be. Deep down, I am a pretty tough, old broad!

I am quite happy to be living alone. I have never had a boy friend stay over for the night so technically, I have never slept with a guy. Untecnically I have. Only once, when I was between dogs (I had to put one to sleep and then got a puppy)was I nervous being in the house alone. I am an introvert to start with and do lots of stuff alone. I would like to have someone to travel with though. I get lost in airports. I think that singles trips would be a good way to meet people. (Newman, grab Racer and we can walk the dogs together. We can talk politics). (lol).

Thanks for letting us know, Kearie! I hope her mommy is also doing well. You know my number if you want to shoot the breeze.

Sigh, Kearie. I'm glad it went well. But I am truly worried for your daughter that she felt she needed it. Please know that she is in my prayers.

If I believed in prayer she'd be in mine too Kearie. Hugs to you (breaking my newly formed no hugging rule, just for you, in this hard time). You are very close to your daughter, Kearie. I'm not close to any of my three adult kids. I wonder sometimes about all the trials and tribulations they went thru that I know nothing about. Kids are resillient. They have to find their own way in this world. You are good at giving her support. She's lucky to have you as a Mom, Kearie. Take care of yourself...

Kearie, your daughter has your spunk. (Now that is a word you don't get to use much). Congratulations to all you Baby Boomers who have children. They turned out well because of your love and caring. Even though your children may be grown they are lucky to have parents like you on this board to turn to. Your love for your children is reflected so often in these discussions. Be proud of them and of yourselves.

Newman, believe me, you are definiely included in the message I just left. Do not sell yourself short. Your children couldn't help but be better off for having you as a dad. (little hug) cause you deserve it.

Thanks so much for everything, everyone. She called and was happy and "jabbery". Kar...I worry about that also. Thanks for keeping her in your prayers, sometimes that's all we can do and often it's the most powerful. Thanks...

Baby, if I remember your question accurately, I think the answer is no. I've never known anyone in a wheelchair. It would scare me. There's an intimidation factor with things I'm not familiar with. My new computer is a little freaky too, but I'm getting to know her, and slowly falling in love... Vacanick, I've lived with 3 different women, but only one marriage. Obviously none of them worked out. There is one out there that I thought got away. Someone from my 30s. But she's an alcoholic and a born again Christian. That might be too much baggage for me to deal with. And she could call me up. My name's in the phone book. Now you got me thinking. I wonder if her name's in the phone book. Awwww, she's probably remarried by now...

It makes me feel kinda sad, Newman, that you feel that way about those in chairs. I personally know some pretty wonderful and exceptional people who happen to be wheelchair-bound. And to be honest, they aren't really that different from you or any other able-bodied person. They have the same wants and needs just like you. They are longing for companionship and love just like you. And as far as not being able to do many of the things as those who can walk around, I bet you would be surprised at how much a lot of us can do! Who knows, maybe if you got outside of your comfort zone and took a chance at getting to know some of those that you wouldn't ordinarily seek out, you just might find someone that you could make a deep connection with. I am not necessarily referring to falling in love with someone different than yourself. But, I am referring more to making deep connections (male or female) with those that are differently-abled.

Baby, your post reminds me of an exchange I had with my oldest sis several years back. There was a man who was interested in her, and I tried to tell her she should go for it. She adamantly said no he wasn't "her type." I told her, "well, you aren't exactly having much luck with your type!" She shut me out at that point (heaven forbid a younger sis with less relationship experience have better insight than her). Although she didn't pursue that relationship, she did confide in our other sister (whose opinion she does respect) that I did have a point there! Sis, (whose "type" was men taller than her, with the same education and professional background as hers), ended up marrying a construction worker 9 years her junior and shorter than her. He's almost as far from "her type" as that other fellow. And he is making her happier (and much more pleasant to be around) than any of those men she dated that were her type!

if you ask anyone who knew me before dh came along they would tell you my 'type' was nothing like dh. i dated older shorter men. that's being very general but that also pretty much sums it up. dh is 2 years younger and almost a foot taller. and, personality-wise is nothing like what my 'type' was. i guess what i am trying to say is that what i thought my 'type' was and who i ended up madly in love with didn't even come close to being the same. and, i couldn't be happier!

Just an update on ArReal. She's doing well, but in pain. The biggest thing I wanted to share was that after she sent me her pictures of the surgery and I thought about it, I understood WHY she wanted the surgery. I understood what bothered her about her breasts. I called her today and told her I understood, was proud of her for sticking to her guns, and that I thought she may have made the right choice. Sometimes when I don't understand, I disagree. I finally understood and had to tell her. I think that's important too.

It is important and I'm sure she appreciated you telling her so. I love how even though you didn't agree with her choice, you still supported her. That's a good mom!!!
