Yes, I intended the hockey vs. ice cream comparison, which BTW is a true dichotomy for me as I really love both. I was once sitting at the United Center and REALLY wanted a Ben & Jerry's cone, but did not want to miss any of the Blackhawks game so I had to forgo it. Maybe I should next create a thread entitled "Hockey vs Ice Cream." I love the Blackhawks more than ice cream! Can you believe their streak this year!

I'm not really using C-D to research serious relationship dichotomies.... I mainly post for fun, which I believe you may not appreciate, and that's fine. I am likely too silly and frivolous-thread creating for your sensibilities.

So no fun polls by people who are in real relationships? I think my time on this forum may be coming to an end as I can not be that serious all the time.... I need light-hearted threads for relief. Oh well.

Or have such self limiting, self imposed expectations and limitations as to render a real conversation about relationships useless. The poster above talking about sex with the same person being boring and spare me the you have to spice it up is a great example. If that is how you limit yourself, if that is how you filter your expectations, that is what you are going to get. I have been with my husband for over 20 years. Sex has only gotten better. And it has pretty much nothing to do with who, me, him or the kids, does the laundry.

That's your problem, not mine! Consider yourself spared.

It's not about seriousness, but the relationship section is cluttered with posts that really have nothing to do with actual relationships.

Picking between adequate sex and a neat home versus amazing sex and a messy home = fun? I like fun as much as the next person but I don't get any enjoyment from polls like this, and it's not you personally. Polls about would she prefer the fancy car to the fancy house...still don't get the "fun" of it.

I guess you are referring to me, yes having sex with the same person over and over is boring. I like a variety, if that's "limiting myself" oh well.

p.s. Do not choose other - exceptionally clean house and exceptional in bed, as we would all choose that!
Female

#2

For the record, we all have different levels of tolerance, when it comes to a clean house. If the house were an absolute pig sty though....and the "masterful in bed" man was a complete and utter lazy slob otherwise, it would completely negate the "masterful in bed" qualities. I couldn't get hot for a lazy slob, no matter how good he was in bed.
