Jaytb Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Someone posted somewhere that this place looks like a warzone . So I thought I'd help with some positivity for once. I'll start: I like my relationship. My girlfriend is so very kind and loving and generous. So I have nothing but positive feelings for women because of her (corny as it sounds ). Anyone else have anything positive to say about the opposite sex? Anyone have any good relationships? Anyone think there's hope? For those of us who are negative about the opposite sex, please tell us why that is. Have you really lost all hope? What could we do to help your feelings about them?
Trialbyfire Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I'm very happy with my relationship. He's sweet, hawt, intelligent, funny, strong, consistent, and most importantly, emotionally available.
Author Jaytb Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 I'm very happy with my relationship. He's sweet, hawt, intelligent, funny, strong, consistent, and most importantly, emotionally available. Good. I'm hoping we can actually do what LS is supposed to do, help people with actual issues, instead of just doing flamewars 24/7. This thread will hopefully give people some hope in the opposite sex. If it doesn't, then I won't it take it too seriously, I promise.
Island Girl Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I adore my husband. We fit together like puzzle pieces. As he puts it, "he's the water and I am the fire". Here we are over 8 years since we began this. And I can't imagine not having him in my life. :love:
Beautiful Inside Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I'm happy in my relationship! i couldn't imagine myself with no one else! although we have had our tough times i think overall we always come out stronger through conquering all our problems. throughout time we've gotten better at communicating through stuff and being more open when things bother us etc... i think we'll be ok....
Sam Spade Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I'm 75% happy with my relationship, (which is a lot, given that I'm 80% unhappy with the opposite sex .) As far as the particular relaitonship is concerned, I have nothing objectively to be unhappy about, I'm just giving myself a generous room for error while the issues of longer term compatibility/priorities get clarified . Other than that girl is mellow, kind, sweet, affectionate, etc., etc., etc.. As far as the opposite sex is concerned overall, I've dated a lot in between relationships and everything bad people complain about on this board exists out there in very generous doses , jaded/entitled/judgemental being the big ones for me . (And no, I don't need anybody to cut me slack for anything, thank you very much, just so we're clear ). I'm generally able to recognize a sane and together woman, but they are in a the minority, so somehow I started to assume the worst first .
clv0116 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 All good here, but I'm tired of working all the time, I've got several MONTHS of vacation owed me this year .... I need a vacation.
treyfan88 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 A positive thread about the opposite sex was a good idea, OP! I usually get along with the opposite sex quite well. It's the folks of my own sex I have problems with! I find it harder to get along with women than I do with men. What I like about my SO? He's the most gentle, caring person on the planet. He tries his best in everything he does--he is romantic and treats me with respect. He accepts my flaws and encourages me to be a better person. We tackle things together as a team. He is my rock, my center, he makes me feel safe. Best of all, he is my soulmate and best friend. He would and has done everything for me to make me happy--and I try my best to do the same for him.
SoulSearch_CO Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I'm happy with my SO and men in general. Still feeling out the long-term compatibility thing, like Sam said.
prettybaby Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I'm head over heels with my man. I initially came here for advice on how to ask him out because he was so shy and wouldn't make a move Now that LS guided me through those initial steps, he has completely opened up and is soooo caring and affectionate. Our chemistry is awesome, and it's basically the sweetest relationship I've ever had. Definitely hoping for this to last forever, but we're taking it step by step. I'd say that it's been cruising nicely for the past couple of months. It keeps getting better, at a healthy pace. So yeah, I'm very very happy
IcemanJB Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I'm not seeing anyone and don't have anything against women. I enjoy their company for the most part, and they seem to not hate me, so it's all good. I haven't had a bad dating experience really (besides your typical breakup pain), so that might have something to do with it. The way they think and act is so intriguing to me; I've come to the conclusion that I'll never ever figure out what's going on in their heads, but it's still fun. I love figuring out what buttons to push on a certain girl.
sally4sara Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Its been about 5 years now and we are a finely oiled team. No small feat when you consider that I was already a team of two. Its nice to hear from my friends and his friends that we both seem to be much happier people together than we ever were apart. He amazes me. He shares my desire to help others. He thinks beyond himself even in situations most people would refuse to deal with. Like after my son's father kidnapped my son. He helped me supervise my son's visit with his father despite the constant rudeness we were met with. He even charmed my ex-mother in law and her conservative republican husband when they came to visit my son and I. Took them on a tour of the monuments. Now they want us to come stay at their home. He tells me I'm beautiful at least once a day, he is always affectionate, and sexy even when stinky and covered in sweat after a long bicycle ride. He has made me smarter and I have made him wiser. We have together, helped my son be the well balance kid and successful student he is despite past troubles. If there was a God, I'd thank it.
doushenka Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Quite happy here! I've had health issues lately, but he has promised to stick by me no matter what, and I believe that. It's long-distance, so we don't see each other as often as we'd like, but we're still so close. It's great. One of my closest friends in the world is a guy, too, the little brother I never had. Loads of cultural overlap, and when one or the other is worn through, we just meet for tea and kvetching.
