I may be wrong but this picture reminds me of Aiyla. 'fess up
Steve. C'mon, you know you want to. And isn't it amazing that a
woman asks a man for what qualities make up his ideal woman and the
first thing the man does is paste up a picture of a beautiful
woman. Are things like having a terrific personality not important?
Is a beautiful babe on the arm the only thing men want? I bet I've
opened up a can of worms here.
No apology fished for. I did fess to Aiyla who my ideal woman would
be, and she has very obliging supplied. I thought it was very
refreshing of me, as a bloke, to fancy a French newsreader, and not
some ugly tart off Baywatch.
Refreshing indeed. Think most men would go for the Barbie doll
stereotype. Where I'm from anyway, they all seem to develop rubber
necks whenever one is spotted.
The problem with judging whether a woman is ideal or not from a
picture is that it's just a picture. Sure this woman is attractive.
But that's all you can tell. I always find it amazing that if my
wife and I put our details into a dating agency we would never be
matched up and in theory we should hate each other. Politically
we're different, our childhoods are different and even our jobs now
are on opposite sides of the fence. Despite all that it works. We
go together so well. So if you're too prescriptive you could be
missing your soull mate.
Put people do tend to go for there opposites Vin, there’s that test
you can do you and your loved one can do, sit down and write down
on a sheet of paper in order of priority the 3 things you don’t
like about the other; and they turn out all different. but if you
do the same with someone you don’t get along with, more often than
not; the 3 things you write down are three things you do not like
about yourself amazing!
Marion: I'm not claiming I'm perfect. I suspect there is much
rubber-necking in your direction.
Vin (do I still refer to you as Lord away from CWC?): I also have
video footage. That helps a great deal, as her style, grace and
personality shines through. Melissa does have a great deal of
feminine charm, and not just a pretty face. But I've not met her or
anything. Nor am I likely to.
Your insight into your marriage is most intriguing [stroky-beard
actions]. I have many friends who are married couples, appearing on
the surface to be very badly matched. I even told one of my best
mates yonks ago, 'Sure. Marry her. If you want a life of misery.'
But I've learned that sometimes it is something undefinable that
draws two people together. I suspect that in real love, you don't
actually CHOOSE who your soul mate is, and I concur completely:
keeping one's eyes, mind and heart open is a valuable lesson for
all of us.
Yes Marion, it was my picture. And Vin, you're right sometimes
people can be so far apart...miles away from each other, yet be so
close and perfect. I'm very pleased you two get on so well.
What can I tell? For many of my younger years, the only woman I
really loved (apart from some misguided errors in the real world),
was the character, Annie Hall. Later, I was dragged into viewing
Buffy The Vampire Slayer by a young cousin, ended up loving the
show and ended up loving Willow.
I've heard that before. What I have to question, what would a woman
get out of faking - if she has to fake it, then she's shouldn't be
with him in the first place. I'm never faked - ever...
Aw poor men, they get such a bad rap sometimes. Plenty of good
guys, I know, my dad is one and that's how I know there's nice men
out there...corny but true...

She could be here tonight...
