The perfect girl
-
You might be right that getting pregnant is kind of hard to achieve all alone, yet both of them ("they got pregnant") getting pregnat is a bit too much for me to grasp. Anyhow, feel free to enlighten me! Except of course this kind of diction runs along the lines of: * We decided that he'll stop ... (whatever he likes doing) * We won't invite them anymore ... * We agreed a vasectomy is the only way to ... and can be summarized in the formulation: "Honey! Guess what, we're pregnant", I'd agree with you, else I'd have to revisit biology for beginners. Cheers!
It's the PC way of announcing pregnancy nowadays, which indicates both pregnancy and that the man accepts his responsibility in the situation. Men should never say 'my wife is pregnant', because that implies it has nothing to do with him.

Rest assured that I took it exactly the way you just pointed it out. I just couldn't resist taking a stab at this phraseology... OMG, I think I'd better stop posting and concentrate more on the bottle of Riesling in front of me. Checking out 'til tomorrow ... Have a nice day or evening or whatever is yoour bestt par t of the day

More often than not, I just end up with the girl that loves me back. Of course I have a vision of what kind of partner I would prefer, but when you know the significant other would do anything for you, thats all it takes for me. I am sold.
You actually deserve a 10 or more points for admitting this, but hey it's all I can give. I'm absolutedefinitely in accordance with your statement. (Still need more wine though)

I think I'm going to hurl. :-D
I believe that is an official Slacker007 seal of approval. Thanks! :laugh:

Back in my rock & roll days, my definition of the perfect girl was reasonably simple. Above and beyond the obvious desire to have her look good in high heels and a little black dress, I just wanted someone who enjoyed the creative & party lifestyle of a musician. These days, prompted in no small way by, er, lessons learned (no bunny jokes, please :)), I find that my requirements are a bit more in depth. Someone who is naturally happy and positive by nature (harder to find that it would seem), intelligent enough for deep conversation, and while she doesn't have to be a full on programmer, a little geekness would go a long way. I mention this just in case Santa is reading CP, of course. How 'bout you guys - at least the ones who are single - who's the perfect geek girl for you? You never know, you might get your wish. Never underestimate the effectiveness of bribing reindeer. :-D

You have NO idea how true that is. Though I've got say, once I figured out that I attract negative and depressive women, so that I can rescue them, and once I did enough therapy to at least recognize my rescuing nature and to stop it, I'm all of a sudden surrounded by healthy, happy and positive women. And while everyone goes through painful experiences, these are women that don't stay in that place and actively work on getting out of the negative space.

On that count, I'm absolutely amazed at the intelligence and wisdom of the women in my life, across a wide age range.

I enjoy the teaching part. :)

In all honesty, someone that really understands what freedom means, and makes choices out of freedom and in a compassionate way and honest way. But to get to that point, I, me, and myself had to do (and continue to do) a heck of a lot of inner work on being honest, open, and compassionate as well. It's been a rough road, because being compassionate toward another person means that I really know how to also be compassionate with myself. And something I'm thoroughly enjoying is having deep and meaningful relationships with women that don't tread into physical intimacy--it just keeps things so much simpler and also creates a really wonderful place of trust and safety. It's a rare and quite frankly, joyful experience. Anyways, that's my philosophizing for the day. :) Marc

I know what you mean. The hard/great part is that they let you make your own mistakes, and leave it for you to clean up after yourself.
