4. The way that they casually put their arms around you
5. The way that they kiss away your tears

34. How you want to hug them even though they are all sweaty
35. Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them... it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without a trace of sound, you know that your own life is inevitabley comsumed within the rhythimic beatings of his heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing a feeling, that is only felt.

I know how the poster feels....after 40 yrs of marriage to the missus.... she can still take my breath...and my heart explodes when she looks at me.

When I wake up next to her...as the sun hits her still black hair just for a microsecond..a whisper of time...as I look at her..there is that perfect moment of clarity in realizing.."Yes...I made the right choice in asking you to marry me"...

I knew she was the one...our people have a story that mankind was actuallyone person, both male and female at one time, and shared a soul...we were then split into male and female halves...and forever after man and woman look their entire lives if need be to find their "soulmate"...the one carrying the other part of their soul.

I know how the poster feels.....

No you don't. You can never know.

This e-mail is the only thing that comes close, though.

That was very informative to us guys. I'll have to remember this post.

Alright Holly. I think I already do almost all of those. But there was a few I gotta remember.

if only I'd get a chance eh!?

Alright..let me rephrase...no..I don't know how THAT poster feels, but I've lived long enough..and been married long enough to have felt those emotions or been in those situations..and two sons and 2 grandsons later she still is a blessing on me and my house, my clan, and my tribe.

i think that's really sweet, your wife is very lucky

In all actuality..it is I that is the lucky one..not to many women want to stay married to an old warhorse (as Zep has christened me) for so long. It takes a very special woman to (1) Want to be a military wife, and (2) Want to remain on a reservation and raise your family there.

I long ago stood humbled before Grandfather Creator and gave thanks for the joy that is my wife.

Alright so my kindest act I can remember from recent times.


I was at the drive in with some friends, some of them girls. One girl had a light jacket on and she said she was freezing. I had a sweater on and I took it off and gave it to her. I froze my ass off the rest of the night, I mean really froze my ass off. It was 39 degrees.

I know how the poster feels.....

No you don't. You can never know.

This e-mail is the only thing that comes close, though.

Wow, kinda presumptuous, unless if you have been, in fact, a guy at some point in time...

Love is love no matter how you express it or feel about it.

Do all girls like getting kissed on the neck and shoulders?

I know a load who do.

i do

i do

Hey I thought you weren't here>.

wow, almost none of those apply to me at all, and i don't think a single one ranks in the top 20 reasons why i dig my boyfriend. i must not be a very good girl, i guess.

i was supposed to go a while back but my nan took ages doing her hair :roll: sorry i didnt come back to the club but i didn't know how much longer i would be

Well here's your chance, come back.

the way he lets me see behind the tough facade
the way his voice gets soft when he says "I love you"
the way he cries with me even though crying is something he "never" does
the way he wants to take my pain away and gets frustrated when he can't, he doesn't know that just his wanting to do that makes me feel better.
The way he sighs when we talk about our future
the way he smells like cologne, woods, and something mysterious
the way he smiles that little grin when he sees me, even when Im at my worst.
The way his ears turn pink when I compliment
the laughter I hear in his voice
the way we can pal around and be raunchy and still wind up being soft and romantic at the end of a phone call
the way he doesnt let a day go by without hearing eachother say " I love you"
the thousand ways big and small that he lets me know the depths of his love for me. Even when it scares him he is open and honest
I love him with all my heart.

You know who you are :)

The way that our bodies entwine themselves as we dance hand in hand through fields of corn on a spring morning, birds singing melodiously and soft overtures from the sound of music sauntering through the air in a utopia of beauty, harmony and love.

Gosh I can't go on, (wipes away a tear), it really is too much.

This thread is deep. I hope some girl feels that way about me.

So romantic...

Makes me pop one.

Whoops I ruined it.

This thread is deep. I hope some girl feels that way about me.

To each one there is a person for whom such abounding love exists Cuneo..it may take heartbreak...it may take betrayal...it may take a leap of faith..but still a person exists for you...I got lucky the first time out the gate so to speak....My wife is the diamond while I'm the coal surrounding it...truly I can say that after all these years my life is just as filled as the first time I took her out on a date.

He thinks I'm sexy not cute, and desires me as a friend and physically. When they tell you that you are the most beautiful girl in the world and you know they mean it. When we stay up all night just talking or when we stay up all night making love. Just hearing his voice brightens my day, when I'm with him I glow and he really does make me beautiful.

He believes that I can and should do anything I want to do. He forgives me when I fib or outright lie. He compromises and I compromise so we can be together. He is at home playing video games, watching sports, playing sports, camping or in the theatre, art show and fine resturaunt. He always knows the perfect wine to order.

He looks great in a suit, and knows it... teehee. He cooks me dinner and breakfast.

There is nothing not to love about my guy.

And in response to an earlier post: yes all girls do like to be kissed on the neck.

Cool because that is one of my moves.

You know why i like guys? Simple. Sex. Good old sex. can't go anywhere without it.

it's a keeper :D

it's a keeper :D

Alright then. What else do they like?

So no chicks like self-loathing, sarcastic cynical bastards who waste their time building Rockets to Mars rather than pulling out of thier perpetual trainwrecks? You know, ones that are too cowardly to admit anything?

oh, and call women chicks?






anyone?












anyone at all?













crackers....

*spanks Bottle*

Im a chick who calls other women chicks? that close enough? :lol:

dude, its like "how to win a girl, for dummies"
sweet

Things girls need to learn:

1.. Learn to work the toilet seat. If it's up,put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us bitching about you leaving it down.

2.. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. Just get your arse down to the gym.

3.. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. It causes unnecessary arguments when we dare to comment on
it.

4.. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again! - Valentines no longer counts
when you're married.

5.. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear. (really really listen to this one)

6.. Sometimes, we're not thinking about you. Live with it. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics
as navel lint, Rugby Lineouts, or 4WD trucks.

7.. Saturday(sunday in some places) = Sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

8.. Shopping is not a sport, and no, we're never going to think of it that way.

9.. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

10.. You have enough clothes. You have too many shoes.

11.. Crying is blackmail.

12.. Ask for what you want. Let's be clear on this one: Subtle hints don't work. Strong hints don't work. Really obvious hints don't work. Just
say it!

13.. No, we don't know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on the calendar.

14.. Peeing standing up is more difficult than peeing from point blank range. We're bound to miss sometimes.

15.. Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with
that particular dress?

16.. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

17.. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

18.. A headache that lasts for more than a month is a problem. See a doctor.

19.. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what the hell they're saying anyway...)

20.. Check your oil. It is an essential part of car maintenance.

21.. Your mum doesn't have to be our best friend.

22.. It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take a quiz together. No, it doesn't matter which quiz.

23.. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All comments become null and void after 7 days.

24.. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad, angry and generally hard to deal with we meant it the other way.

25.. Let us ogle. We're going to look anyway; it's genetic.

26.. You can either tell us to do something OR tell us how to do something but not both.

27.. It's not the dress that makes you look fat. It's all that bloody chocolate you eat!!!.

28.. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

29.. ALL men see in only 16 colours. Peach is a fruit, not a colour.

30.. If it itches, it will be scratched.

31.. Beer is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

32.. If we ask what's wrong and you say nothing, we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you're lying, but it's just not worth the hassle.

33.. When we are in bed and look tired, this means that we are tired. It most definitely does not mean that we want to discuss the relationship.

34.. If you want some dessert after a meal - have some. You don't HAVE to finish it. You can just taste it if you like. But don't say "No, I couldn't/ shouldn't / don't want any" and then eat half of mine.

35.. Dieting doesn't work without exercise.

36.. If you're on a diet. it doesn't mean that my meals should be rabbit food as well.

37.. A man's four essential food groups are: White meat, Red meat, Potatoes and Cold Beer. Please ensure that all meals contain a good
balance of the above in acceptable quantities - everything else falls under the category 'garnish'

38.. NEVER question our sense of direction.

39.. If you can learn all of the above, then man and woman can co-exist on a level based on love and mutual respect.

So no chicks like self-loathing, sarcastic cynical bastards who waste their time building Rockets to Mars rather than pulling out of thier perpetual trainwrecks? You know, ones that are too cowardly to admit anything?

oh, and call women chicks?
crackers....

If it's any consolation girls love assholes and fall for them time and again. Self-loathing is not a turn on, but sarcastic and cynical bastards rock my world... rockets to mars are fun and no guys admit to everything, don't all guys call women chicks sometimes? i call women chicks...

Hmm... I've always prided myself on being a sarcastic and cynical asshole-slash-bastard. I prefer writing about the general stupidity of mankind rather than building shit, though.

And as near as I can recall, I haven't called women "chicks" in the past few years, if ever. I do have a friend who engaged in this behavior nearly constantly, though- I explained to him if he persisted, I would have to gag him in public.

None of the things in the opening post apply to me, as I have never had anything resembling a remotely significant other. Some of them sound like things I would never do even if I WAS with someone.

Guess I'll just have to stick with the asshole shtick and hope someone with tastes similar to yours comes along.

There are plenty of girls like me, and there are plenty of relationship things that I never thought I would do or want to do, but then they happen naturally. Cute as puke

Wow....Salishe..you old softy you...

Seriously....

After 40 years ..any woman that can put up. with us men...just may be a saint, or somthing like one.
Your posts abour her are actually very touching.
If you have said these things to her...then you sir, have my respect.

I always played chess to my ability; regarding no. 14.

Perhaps that's where I'm going wrong.

Thank You.

35. Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them... it matters not.

Exactly. You've said it exactly right.

All i can say right now is if you have recently broken up with someone you love DO NOT go and see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, excellent movie, but it's like suicide :D yay me!

Hmm... thanks for the advice. I'll make sure not to watch that movie for the next few months. ;)

so you too, eh?

Oh, yes. Tragically for me, of course. Guiltlessly on his part.

All i can say right now is if you have recently broken up with someone you love DO NOT go and see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, excellent movie, but it's like suicide :D yay me!

I disagree wholeheartedly. This is a superb movie, especially if you've broken up recently, because the whole point of the movie is that, even in the case of great pain, the proverbial juice was worth the squeeze, so to speak. One should not be afraid of that pain, but rather be willing to endure it for the greater happiness that even the most neurotic of partners can provide.
