awesome, EM! i like your style. all women like to be treated like queens. the wise ones treat their men like kings in return.

dr. b, remember that it works both ways. if my guy hit hard times, i'd be more than willing to offer assistance until things got better for him. and any guy that i choose will probably as generous in spirit.

Posted Image 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.

Sorry....I dont like cats. But dont get me wrong on the spelling....... :-D

Ladies- your explanations clarify my confusion and, of course, you are right. Real partners would do that for one another. It goes along with my "ability to pay" clause- if one of us loses a job, then obviously the other shoulders more of the load in a loving partnership.

When some suggest treating their woman like a queen, it is my feeling that we did away with the concept of royalty here centuries ago. I would not treat my partner as a queen, nor would I expect her to treat me as a king. I would expect both of us to treat one another as loving partners in a relationship. Of course that involves special things done by each for the other... but definitely no thrones or pedestals.

Jextract- Don't give TF any more incentive! Of course we all know the ladies love "bad boys" and I'm just not one of them. I tried but it's not in me to be "bad" (at least not in some ways).

Finally, we are talking about the important things in life. Kissing! Of course, who doesn't think they are a good kisser. It's one of those things about which you are not likely to get honest feedback.

That one's negotiable. If someone's lips aren't pleasing mine, I'm certainly willing to do some gentle coaxing in the right direction. That usually does the trick (and can be a lot of fun, too).

No :lol: kisses!

Ah but Sophia the evaluations of my kissing (etc.) prowess were not mine, but that of the former ladies in my life. Heck, I've never even tried to kiss myself (well, I did tongue my image in the mirror once).

Doc, I think she was saying kissing partners may not be willing to say, "Stop sucking my face like grouper, you toad!" or some slightly less tactful version of "the truth." Sorta like faking the big O, y'know. Lovers want to make each other happy, so sometimes they aren't terribly honest about unpleasant subjects (like, you missed a spot).

HA! Very funny, 'maus! :luvsign:
