Since I am a married man I can not speak about the girls.. I married a woman. <br>I think that girls may be nice to look at, but you can base a life only with a woman. I think that my wife is really hot. But she's no girl. We met when we were both 23 yrs old, and worked our way towards each other for 7 years before we married. Since we did do lots of things together we got to know each other well, and learned to live with each others idiosyncracies. <br><br>Just my 2c ( May I, honey ;D )<br><br>AlpineRAM

Before you ask her out.....be yourself. After you're going out.......don't change from before you asked her out. And after you are married, you have to keep it exciting and spontanious.........a flower that you pick yourself on the way home from work is one of the sweetest most simple things you can do. A man can't always be hard core macho, you must show your sweet side to her.

 

Sweet side whats that. Is that the fuzzy feeling after you try to kiss her. Nope sorry thats the feeling of her hand across my face. Hmm still trying to figure out what this Sweet thing is all about ???<br> <br>DM01

 

No two women are the same and I doubt if any two women really undersatand one another, so what chance do us poor men have on understanding a woman?<br>Reply to Haulin in Dixie: Actually my wife is over 50. I consider myself very blessed to have a woman that loves me like she does. Now I am not saying that we don't have our differences as we are both strong willed. but we know how to give and take. Give more than you take and it makes a huge difference. The 60/40 thing. We also have a pact that we will not go to bed mad at one another and will always try to work out our differences before we go to sleep.<br>Nuff on this subject.

 

My wife is great. She likes my truck and understands about all the tools. And she always lets me have the last word --- &quot;Yes Dear&quot;.

 

Well, when I start going out with a girl, I let them know where my priorities are. First: My truck. Second: My family. Third: My friends. Fourth: Them. No if's, and's, or but's. You may think I have my priorities mixed up but they understand. I've put two girls over my truck. One was worth it the second one was definately not worth it. This is the way I look at it. My truck has never left me. Never hurt me. Never cheated on me. Never lied to me. Nothing. The only thing it has done is cost me a small fortune ;D . All it requires is a bath once a week. Oil every 6000 miles. And fuel every week. That's it. It doesn't ask for anniversary gifts or anything else. It doesn't complain to me or bi*** at me. Nothing. It's always there for me when I need someone to talk to. And when I want to, I can crank her up and drive her as hard or as soft as I want to. She never nags me or anything. I've had two girlfriends who have understood this. Long relationships with them to. I spend a lot of money on my girlfriends. I spent over $200 on my ex between Thanksgiving and Christmas (Christmas was $150 alone). I include them in absolutely everything I do. Even if it involves working on cars all night, I make sure that they are involved so that they don't feel left out. I spend every second I can with them. But they know that my truck is top priority. I have a love with my truck that I only have with my family. I will always love my truck. Now, my priorities my change later on down the road, but these are them for now.

 

My point of view...

My fiance and I live together. We work six feet apart from one another five days a week handling the largest account our company has, with Brandon handling the sales end of the account and me the artwork end. Essentially, we spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week together unless one of us is away on a business trip (very rarely) or reading the daily newspaper in the &quot;office&quot;. So how do we do it without all out throwing down and declaring WWIII? Patience, respect, trust, understanding, love and being able to communicate. We both enjoy doing the same things, watching the same movies, you name it, but most of all, we don't put material things above the well being of our relationship and our individuality. That's not to say that we each will always like the same things, but we certainly don't let trivial matters interrupt how we feel for each other and how we operate as individuals. Since we do spend so much time together, we both recognize the need for us to exist as single people probably more so than other couples. We respect each others need to go out and do things alone, and we're independent and trusting enough of one another to feel comfortable doing that, as everyone should in any relationship. It's healthy to be interdependent, to be able to depend upon your partner for caring support and nurturing but also to be independent at the same time and free to do as you please (within reason, of course!). But that independence doesn't exist with only one person's well being in mind--it's called being responsible, for yourself and others. In a relationship, everyone must accept that sacrifices will be made, but that shouldn't happen to the point to where each persons happiness is jeapordized. Compromise is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't happen without communication.

I'm the kind of person who gets very bored when I don't have enough variety in my life. I need spontinaeity and change to keep things interesting. A relationship with another person should not be something that absolutely bores you to death! It should always be a learning process, something you can build upon and mold in any way you wish, something you can be creative with and know that no matter what happens or what anyone does, you can always count on your partner for anything. It's a 100%/100% effort between two people--one side cannot support the other without full support in return. Life is what you make of it, and so is any relationship.

There's nothing more important to me than the relationship I share with my fiance, and it comes with the utmost in respect toward him, without question. I certainly wouldn't be upholding my end of the bargain if I were to offer him any less during any and all circumstances, and especially during times of adversity. To exist on a level with another individual to the point to where you know them down to their very soul is a wonderful thing indeed, and a terrible thing to waste.

 

Well said you two You just took the thoughts in my head that I didn't know were there and made them very clear.
