I wouldn't consider myself a 'woman's man', but I'm no Neanderthal. I'm convinced that the notion of 'finding the perfect match' is a folly - it's more about meeting certain baseline requirements and then both parties working toward the same goal.<br /><br />There seem to be way too many distractions in relationships today: texting, FB, golf, fishing, the bar scene, GNO, and other meddlers. Hard to find two people who can focus on each other and tell the rest of the world to take a hike.an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229529473041045853.post-47795911224853601522014-09-02T17:55:57.061-07:002014-09-02T17:55:57.061-07:00Your article elicited a laugh as a longtime friend...Your article elicited a laugh as a longtime friend and I were discussing why women pick certain men just yesterday. Certainly there are really nice men who just don’t seem to have a woman stick. Everyone scratches their head and wonders why. Here’s my thought with agreement from her. I had been married twice and single for a number of years and wanted no part of marriage. But one day on a job in the northeast, a man came in with a group and I was assigned to teach them but he became my husband within 9 months. Why?? He was what women call a “woman’s man”, he loved talking to me, listened carefully, kept track of special dates & went shopping with me. Because we worked together for the next 12 years we spent almost 24/7 with each other and almost never got tired of each other. Why is this so special – my hubby, who has since died, was short, fat and certainly no looker. But he had been married 3x before with wives still being friends, countless old girlfriend still staying in touch. I was more important than his golf clubs or fishing pole or a bar. glasslasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903877330688637288noreply@blogger.com
