Here's my list. My guy has to be:
strong enough to push a lawn mower
sweet enough to wash dishes
mechanically inclined to fix a car
great with his hands to give back rubs
financially able to pay bills (mine and his)
Willing and Able to make love to me until the day Bin Laden gets a Nobel Peace prize

But most of all he has to like cats.

Shucks Ebony Mermaid, you just ruled yourself out on my list. I'm not willing to pay anyone else's bills unless they see it as a partnership rather than a care taking situation. Realize you were probably jesting. Here I thought because you weren't a blonde you had high intelligence!! Sigh.

walter, in short (in shorts?), the sand treatment is what happens when passion stikes it's mighty blow on a beach.

So, TF, have you ruled out sex on beaches that are boulder, cobble, mud or lava? I don't imagine too many boulders or cobbles would seek whelter in the deep recesses.

Here is my list from when I was single

1. Breathing. (Well maybe)

[Sophia]

Since this popped up in the new posts section, I found it, and read through all 12 pages. My question is... Am I the only one that wants a good kisser?


On the sand in important places subject, there are ways to avoid that, at least for her.

DrBill I can certainly pay my own bills, I wouldn't ask a man to take any part of my independence away by sugessting that he pay my bills, nor would I use anyone for financial gain. I just want him to be financially stable enough to take care of his load and more. And whether any woman wants to admit it or not they (we) want to be treated like queens, or be with a man that if we hit hard times they could step up and say "I got your back baby, what cha need?" Ain't no shame in my game, I'll be a housewife to the right MAN at the drop of a hat. believe me, I know how to take care of a MAN. But mostly I know how to take care of me

And as for being on your list, I'd have you so the only place you'd know how to get to would be the bank.




Just Kidding Doc, I wouldn't hurt you...much

Ebony Mermaid- Now you've got me lost (remember, I'm just a guy). You want a man "to take care of his load and more?" Why should he have to take more than his share?

Obviously I'd love to find a woman who would love me so much she'd be willing to fund my dive travel and research... however, I'd be just as happy with a woman as a partner who was willing to travel and dive as a backpacker like I do.

That's part of what it takes to make a relationship succeed. Sometimes you do your share and then some, and other times your partner does that. You help each other out, watch the other person's back, and then you get that back when you need it.

Dr. Phil put it well when he said " A sucessful relationship isn't 50-50, it's 100-100"

If it all equals out in the long run, then it is a true partnership.

(IMHO)

I somehow doubt you are the only one..........

[drbill]

Laura and Ebony Mermaid- Maybe it's just semantics, but if the guy does his share and more, that means the women is doing less than her share. I see no rationalization for that. Of course I'm assuming "shares" are not split simply 50/50 but based on relative income (in terms of expenses) or abilities (as if one of the partners had a disability).

"Partnership" is good, but after having gone through a divorce with a good housekeeper (she kept mine), I insist on two rules:

1) I don't date out of my economic bracket;
2) I'd NEVER get married without a pre-nup.

I don't want him to handle his load and someone-elses, just be able to if the need ever arises. If I were to lose my job and go to him and say "I can't pay my house note" I want him to be able to say "that's alright baby I'll take care of it until you get back on your feet" not "damn baby what cha gon do?

EM,

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm referring to in my previous post. Things will generally equal out in a good relationship. You can't worry about keeping score on every tiny little thing, every single minute. Just trust that it will all work out. If it gets to be really one-sided, then address it, and resolve it, or move on.

I like your style, EM. You go girl!
