Don't just dwell on what you want; really think about why someone would want YOU and what you have to offer. I think a lot of people are not very realistic about the people they pursue.

For me it is someone that can pull their own weight, be it financially or running a home. I dont want a guy to just sit around looking pretty and eating bon bons. He has to at the very least be able to kill a spider with his penis.

This was the point I made earlier. People focus too much on what they want. That's a lousy way to enter a relationship.

Ok now, I know the general meaning of this, but others, please post what you consider it to mean. Oh and please if you can, give examples.
Thanx, you guy's are the best!
All I hear when I hear this is, "What's in it for me?"

Now this post should be listed under a Thread called, What talents do your men have?

Well, you have to consider both sides or someone in the relationship isn't going to be happy.

I had to discuss this with current gf a month or so ago as I felt things were a little lopsided in terms of effort being put forth. Part of it was misunderstanding, part of it was reality....I still have some concerns on that front but for now it's decent.

I never get the whole "realistic about....pursue" thing. Basically, I *never* would pursue someone that wasn't interested...there are just more fish in the sea to waste time chasing someone that isn't into you.

Okay, pursue can be misconstrued. People should just be realistic about their expectations.

Im going to go with club. That would be more amusing and not as messy.
