I agree with the first sentence... but not with the second one - i DO think i'm through with relationships lol...

I would only want my dog to talk on her death bed, and say a few sentences. That would be cool. I love her like a kid (dont have any), and shes about as awesome a friend as you could have. I've had plenty enough of romantic relationships in my life... she gives me peace.

be with a talking dog
why?
well, the only men I've known, either need a mother or they were players, therefore, I won't be a mother to another man, and for certain, I don't need players in my life. Granted, there are independent nice men out there, reason I know this is by my married girlfriends, however, all the nice men are either married or gay...

serioulsy, you young mothers, if you have sons, for God's sake don't baby them and do every thing for them, don't make they your only purpose in life, otherwise, what you will be doing is creating a monster for the women he will someday marry...and expect her to treat him like you do....that is so wrong and so painful for the wife.

Talk to the dog. And I'm totally serious. Relationships are a waste of time unless you really actually have that rare, fantasy "love".

I don't think its about a rare fantasy love, actually it's about maturity, being independent, honorable and intelligent, with some common sense. Someone who has goals, other then getting married, realizes, that they're spouse may have goals to. And allowing them to accomplish them, even though your a couple. Marriage doesn't entail being together 24/7 and smothering each other, it's trust, and allowance, being able to understand, that no one feels exactly alike, about what a marriage should be, and I will never again, live my life according to someone else's idea of what marriage should be. I see so many men, in a marriage, where they're wives dictate to them how everything should be, where they should go, and how they should dress I don't know how they can stand it...truly there are some women out there who need a man like this...but that isn't a marriage, to me, it's a death sentence...and I see the life sucked out of these people, but they stay in a marriage like this, unhappy for the rest of they're days...that isn't life...but if a mother raises a son, to be co-dependent on her, that's what you get, and that is what he looks for in a wife, a mother. That to, is no relationship...

there are good relationships out there, but you have to know what to look for, and it to me, is way more then just loving someone.

Besides the assumption that this relationship would require marriage (which isn't your fault, but our society), I agree.

If I had a talking dog, I'd surely not lack for relationship(s) as well! Imagine the possibilities having a well-mannered but loyal dog as wingman, talking you up to the women. The curiosity factor alone would get me laid, at least. Besides, a real talking dog would probably lead to riches, and riches can be an aphrodisiac. And in those times when no women are around, we can have great conversations, as long as we avoid religion (I get impatient with dogma).

so, would you rather be with a talking dog or in a relationship?



this should be interesting........oh, explain why.
A relationship. No contest.

Having sex with a dog would be...socially unacceptable.

Now THAT is thinking ahead.
