Sharing thoughts on an exceptional thread

[beaw]

Hi,

I've just had a breathtaking experience going through a truly phenomenal thread by 'laine175 titled 'OK here's a question'. Its quite a long thread and a lot has been said.

I just want to share my experience.

I've always been very playful by nature. I recall an incident with like minds in my final year at college.

We were generally clowning around and having a noisy and hilarious time. One of our lecturers was passing by and he made a solemn comment:

You guys are growing down!

When I got married, it was the same. My playful, happy-go-lucky nature that attracted my spouse eventually turned to an irritation.

You don't act like a man! You need to be firmer, more assertive and take charge!!


Herein lies the crux of the matter IMHO ( ... I think I'll have to pay you, Cherryaa! )

Most younger ladies want their man to be in control, to be tough, hard, macho and sometimes rough!

They don't appreciate the sensitive nature of guys like me and tend to put down our soft, relaxed and playful nature as being effeminate and unambitious.

Mature ladies on the other hand have 'been there and done that' and they've generally seen that the heady, tough, macho hormone usually has painful and unacceptable side effects.

For me, we eventually separated after having an adorable daughter (as you can see in my photo)

I've since had wonderful relationships with older ladies who take me for who I am and love me for it.

I guess this is why I believe strongly that I'm hardwired for maturity (... many thanks, HoustonCougar!)
