LongTom Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 However theres nothing saying either party can't add a little spice. No need to be boring..just responsible. Never said otherwise. A good relationship is not a boring one. I just don't think we should be particularly shocked at the divorce rate, when we hold up the model of the faithful family man as an object of not very subtle contempt. I have a friend whose husband left her and the kids a few years ago, and has been putting her through emotional hell. And you know what? It's EXACTLY what Jack Sparrow would have done. BTW, it's 16 years for me and the missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 You don't marry Jack Sparrow types. You flirt and play with them and then marry the good guy. That's what a rational, intelligent woman would do. That being said, not every woman always makes rational choices. She might have had a lousy childhood, which would have a real impact on her choice in men. Or at a certain point in her life she chooses not to make a rational choice. Also, I haven't noticed any contempt for family men. Trust me on this - when women talk with each other and one of them says that her husband is loyal, helps out around the house and is a good family man, the other women are envious.

Trust me on this - when women talk with each other and one of them says that her husband is loyal, helps out around the house and is a good family man, the other women are envious. I'm thinking more in the media. Married women have good sense. Especially when some of them have been burned. But commercials, movies, etc., I see very few positive depictions. On the other hand... You don't marry Jack Sparrow types. You flirt and play with them and then marry the good guy. That's what a rational, intelligent woman would do. Yeah, and once you're ready, you can get the good guy's attention by dusting the cobwebs off his dessicated skeleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, but women are still objectified in the media and are often shown as victims and women are neither victims nor prizes to be won by the victorious man. And I've often thought that men should be insulted by how they are portrayed in commercials. They are usually shown to be incompetent boobs who can't do anything right. But we know that it's not usually the case. (Although there are guys who are incompetent boobs and women who are strictly decorative. We can't all be icons of reason and competence.)

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'm still holding out for a pirate (of the male variety) with a brain and a sense of humor. One who can carry on a good conversation, philosophize and joke around comfortably would be nice. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales.

LadyBarbossa Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Tis always interesting to read this thread, what to do, etc. Honestly for me... here I am.. 33 years old, not married, etc. Perhaps I'm not the greatest woman in the world and defintely no Angelina Jolie (thank God). But, I'm not the woman who will cheat, nor will I do drugs, nor will I dump the kids off somewhere and go drinking or leave the kids with ya, etc. I have my problem areas, what person doesn't have them. But I do what I can, how I can, to work through them. Even if it takes a few years. All I ever asked for was someone willing to enjoy life with me, to share some of the same passions in life. I know I don't ever want someone like my Bro in Law. Nor am I looking for some Jack Sparrow or James Bond. I just want someone who wants a life with someone, willing to work out anything and not give up saying it's too hard when it's not. Again, a friend told me... what is it about them you are willing to tolerate and what is it about them you will NOT tolerate? If you like something I don't fancy, I could perhaps tolerate it. And I hope vice versa. Patrick... Bo... I think some of us ladies share your similar issues. But I guess, I have to ask myself a question every day... what is it about ME that won't allow me to have the dream I want? MerryD... if men are that intimidated by my hobbies and who I am, what I do, etc... then... well, my words are not all that kind. I'm admit I am old fashion. I believe in man making the moves. Not I. I know that sounds shallow of me, but... it's true. Now, if I think he's worthy, I will give him more than a chance. No... heartache does NOT make one stronger. It just continues to hurt. That's all it does. And honestly, no offense to all out there who assisted to help me out... I guess if you get over someone and forget about them, etc. Apparently you didn't Love them. Cause I know and have read Love Stories, talked to people, etc. People who are in Love will NEVER get over that person once they are gone. There is always that void. Whether it's your Grandpa and Grandma passed away a few years before ( or vice versa)... or if it's a young teen... or some fictional character like Davy Jones. Cause that person made such an influence upon the other in every level. OK.. I'm jumping off my ranting soap box... ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Red-Handed Jill Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Lady B - I think that depends on what you mean by "gone". If they died while you were still in love, then yes, the odds are you will always love them. But for a lot of us, the ability to get over someone does not mean we didn't ever love them in the first place. I was truly in love with my ex; at the time I felt as if he was the love of my life. But, as sometimes happens, life dealt us a few jabs and each of us handled the situation differently. Eventually, we decided that it would be best for us to part. It took a LONG time to get over him, but I did eventually get over him - completely. To suggest that because I was able to get over him meant that I never loved him would be incorrect. If that were the case, I wouldn't have been capable of getting into another relationship with all of those unresolved feelings. No one would be any good in a second or third relationship if we could never get over our first love. The heart is a wacky thing, but pretty resilient. Real heartache does take time to get through, but you do get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
