You know what the benefit is in that??? My husband and I each think we are the best lovers ever. We have no one to be compared to or live up to. It's a wonderful peace.

Truth be told, you two could be having mediocre sex but because you haven't had sex with anybody else you would not even realize it.

I'm not trying to disturb your peace but I'm just pointing that out.

There is nothing wrong with a man who wants to sleep with a lot of women.

Relationship wise, most people just let things happen due to lack of self discipline in that particular area of life.

You DO have the ability to choose to act on it.

Yet, i was his girlfriend and proud to ride in his beat-up old car and lend him mine when his broke down. These girls only want him now because he's got prestige and power in his job and makes money. They wouldn't love him for him like i do.
+100!!

Either way, he better travel and party first because he can start a family LATER versus if he starts a family now, he won't be able to walk away if he's not cut out for the boring family life.

I don't equate falling in love with a lack of self discipline. I do equate it with a lack of self denial and openness to emotion - but I don't think they are the same thing.

We have the ability to control all of our actions - just not all of our emotions.

I did the research and I came to the conclusion that women don't "fall in love" with any man. Women "fall in love" with men who are more powerful and successful then they are all while ignoring all the other men who like them because they have less status.

So with that said, women do control who they fall in love with; they just make sure they fall in love with all the high status guys.

In this day and age, women can come to the table not only not knowing how to do simple things (i.e.cook, clean, healing the sick) but they come to the table with major debt (credit cards, student loans) kids from prior relationships and health problems (obesity).

So tell me? How is this type of woman suppose to enhance my quality of life?

We don't bore each other or annoy each other. We don't feel like we are trapped. Our lives are better because of each other. Traveling is more fun together. Watching TV is more fun together. Life is more fun together. We met a few years before my husband "planned" on meeting his future wife. Oh well.
Good for you and I'm happy for you two. However, I would like to see you two 10 years from now when the novelty of being a new couple wears off.
