Natisse said:

Yup

Sweeny79 said:

it's so depressing

Natisse said:

it can be

Sweeny79 said:

very true...it CAN be

Natisse said:

I suppose anything can be, it depends on how we look at it.

Some people's perceptions of life and the truth are just really fucked.

Sweeny79 said:

also true...I have a bad habit of seeing the glass half empty

Can two divorced men make it....find out on THE ODD COUPLE hehehe

No. I'm intimidated by women who stick out their tongues and put flowers in their eyes.

I agree. I'd like that in a woman as well..... Along with a really nice rack

i find to be quite systematic of a male dominated society, miss sweeny.

as the times progress and roles are reversed, powers change.

for many men they find this is a threat upon their manhood.

it appears these are the same men who had to assert their power to matter.

i hope that it is understood that both parties have things to add.

Amen to that. As an educator, the only perks that I have is good benifits and vacation time.

I agree it saves alot of time

Some men can handle it and some cannot, oh well.

Sweeny79 said:

Seems so...

I don't think men are intimidated, or should be, because of a higher educated woman as education comes in much too many forms than just "academic". Now if that woman is constantly speaking to him in a condescending manner and throwing her so-called intelligence at him at every turn, then it can cause the man to retreat into a shell on a lot of things. Or just leave.

Intelligence is high on my list of desirable traits in friends/partners. I know plenty of smart people without advanced degrees, however. Letters after ones name are not a requirement for dating.

Money. . . I wouldn't share finances with somebody who I thought was financially irresponsible, or who, if they made more than me, would make me feel bad about not being able to contribute as much financially. If I made a lot of money, I think I would really enjoy dating somebody who made less, actually. Maybe not if I were male, because there would be that golddigger stereotype that I'd be fighting, but as a woman, I think it would be damn cool to be able to spoil my partner. I eventually plan to go into a career that tends to be pretty lucrative, and the idea of giving my partners financial freedom. . . the option of following a passion, or flying them around to cool places or whatever, makes me very happy.

I regret that, currently, that is not an option. But I can dream.

I actually won't date a woman who doesn't have/isn't pursuing a college degree. She also must have firm career plans beyond being a wife and mother.
