what is ur dream partner? What is it in a partner that would make u fall in love for good?

April 03 2010

sex

Im curious, everone wants to find love. And watching a doco the other nite, older ppl say what kept them together was true love and they would not quit on that love. But here we are and some have been on here for awhile. Does true love really happen, is it perhaps a different world and the type of love our parents or grand parents had is now just unatainable due to all the other opportunities or desires that may or may not cloud our judgement? Do we still desire to have a life partner, that will be around until death do us part or are we looking for someone to fill a need for a period of time. I know my folks have been together for some 40 plus years, but sex isn't what has kept them together. Lets be honest here and lets think about it.... what is it we want.Not just what guys want but what girls want. Maybe in this new millenium, old fashion values are obsolete? So, i have bared all. What r ur thoughts ?

    We will all get to an age where sex is completely unimportant... impossible even... but sex is one hell of a good way to pass the time away until we're that old. I maintain that its possible to love more than one.. that is.. to have more than one life partner... and that you can have these life partners consequetively or concurrently. Don't ever let people tell you that sex is unimportant in a sexual relationship. It is very important Jules... otherwise you may as well be housemates. Hugs Stalky

    Since my previous relationships have been duds in the bedroom and my sexuality is important to me, I need to find someone sexually compatible first and then find the chemistry or the spark. In fact my lifestyle more or less dictates what my future partner will be like. But you never know who you are going to fall for or how they will enter your life. Just be ready to hold on to them tight when they do. And love should be unconditional.

    I'm reading a pretty incredible book about love atm, which says 'falling in love' is not real - it's just chemistry and it's fleeting. Real love is an act of will and an act of courage. It's when you do loving things for someone for their growth as a person. It's when you choose to be loving, even when you might not feel like it. And so on. I also remember a doco on oldies still married some years ago. One couple was asked how they managed to stay together. They said because they never fell out of love at the same time. Probably that means that one of them chose to keep doing loving things for the other, even while the other was borderline about the relationship. We've all been there I reckon - well I sure have.I look for a man that is calm, peaceful, clear about what he wants in his life and determined to pursue it, great values, kind, a passionate, tender but in charge lover, smart (very smart) and a bit yum to look at.

    Well, nowadays with 46 years experience under my belt, two attempts at living with a proposed "life partner" and many luscious lovers later at least now I know who I am. Monogamy is not for me. I know that now. So my perfect life partner would be someone who understands who I am, accepts my aversion to monogamy but wants to love and adore me anyway ;-). He would also have to be fabulously witty, smart confident independent and sexy sexy sexy. Even though I love variety - sexy, hot, honest, explorative chemistry between would be a must. Is he out there?

    But not one sexual partner. I want someone I can share everything in my life with always... good, bad, ugly and smelly... and wake up with that person beside me and share my LIFE with him. But I want to share sex with a variety of men and bring to my life partner some of that variety in the bedroom as well. Keeping the flames of love burning for each other and spicing up OUR sex life with what I experience with other men.... and having him do the same with other women. Sex with someone you're not in a relationship with is only sex..... making love to your life partner is deeper and much more meaningful but requires lots of spice to keep it from getting mundane. SD

    Love the book by M. Scott Peck and the poem by Robert Frost. I believe that yearning real love is an inherently human characteristic, but alas in 'progressive' society our conditioning guides us away from our natural instincts towards such heavy reliance upon our minds, where we fear our own inadequacy, and our insecurity fuels greed and purges altruism.

    Yes, yes great love does exist! Lets start by saying personally, I find it easier to love a dog than to love a man. The simple reality is that my unconditional love for dogs are possible because their loyalty and adoration for you are unquestionable. They’ll never cause you grief (unless they start eating your bed). SO, loving a dog is SAFE. So wouldn’t then, if we can abandon all our fears – fear of betrayal, abandonment, fear of potential hurt that can caused by a man, fear that its not a 2 way street - and just accept him with this careless, carefree attitude – accept all his foibles, his womanizing ways, his annoying habits, and put his needs first before yours - then would the love not then be great love? But are we willing to go to that extent – that’s another question. I had seen my mum done that for my dad. I don’t know if that deserves pity or respect but after 30 years they are a happy couple and there's nothing she wouldn't do for him. Like nothing. I think we all desire life partner at some point, perhaps not necessarily due to the fact we need to feel true love but we are scared to be alone, to be growing old on your own. Its all good when we have the youth and beauty and the world is at our feet. Moving forward 20 years, what then? Searching for a life partner then seems more like a necessity. I think you can have many true loves in your life and comes in many forms and sizes, each one serving a purpose, helps you grow for a particular period of time. Maybe 60 years from now, our grandkids will be looking at our doco and said, “ahh...I like to have what they have, true love”. xx

    Yes' of course true love exists ' but the real question is for how long ? We all know that when you first fall in love' sparrows fly outta ur backside left right and centre'... the world is such a beautifull place to be' but does it stay that way... if it did ' we would have found the key to eternal happiness... Our Parents: The older generation were raised to think and practice that love is forever. It was a way of life in a generation which everybody practiced and embraced love is for a lifetime and you raised a family and that was that. It was and still is a very dignified way to live your life and I admire those who lived by their beliefs. Im sure after so many years of familiarity' it became just as much a pressure on them as it does with any generation' but for them it was the done thing to stay put through thick and thin. And there they stay. Today' we question things more so than our parents. We are better educated and more open to expand our limits. Its all apart of progression and that aint gunna stop. So in summary' yes' there is a thing called true love.. and theres also a thing called expectation... once the two meet' thats when the fireworks begin.... Just my observation btw.. Mrs JJ and I are still happily married ' but we have our moments... Cheers Mr JJ

    No one falls in love by choice, it's by a chance...No one stays in love by chance, it's by effort...And no one falls out of love by effort, it's by choice...

Their seeming inability to forgive and forget (as long as you're not a little white fluffy dog)? Are they not very smart.....or are they really really smart? In fact all the posts here are really thought-provoking... Pity we're not this profound when trying to answer "Why won't anyone respond to my flirts!!?"

But what if these 3 elements come from separate sources and not from one person, would that not be just as good? From children and family, you receive love. From lifelong friends, you get invaluable companionship. From RHP - sex! :)) It doesn't have to come from just one person. Its still afterall a balanced diet. In the ideal world, we want our own Edward Cullen but if that damn vampire is nowhere to be found...I think, if we really look around us, everything that we need and desire is already there for us (I am not sniffing hairspray...really!). Didn't you say that your happiest moment is when your kids tell you that they love you? :))) To me, motherhood is the most beautiful gift ever. You already got it all roxy :))) Jean - ref puppy love. They are great because they love you the day you brought them home and they love you until the day they die. And their love don't change even if you throw them out the street or beat them to a pulp. In their eyes, you can do no wrong. Oh man, I am starting to get a lump in my throat ..enough said. xx

    heres what i want from love a relationship,a best friend,a smile,a kiss,sometimes only just to be touched,an unconditional bond that can never be broken,a woman who loves everyone but gives their heart to me,a woman who is my equal that i dont have to follow or she dosent follow me,compassion,romance,feeling,intelligence,a woman not a girl or a granny just a pure woman,lust,tenderness,playfull,cheeky. have i had this in my life yes but only once did i get all this from one woman,and one day it disapeared just like it came. you could say i have old fashion views on both romance and love,i totally believe there is more than one person in the world who could offer you this,the harder part for most is excepting it ! some of the comments here are truely amazing,well all of them actully. as a final thought... to find someone i love equal to my kids,who i love unconditionly and would die for any given day,will always be the woman who hold my heart.

    My old folks are the perfect example of what life partners should be like.they come from a different era. The perfect couple of 46 years still holding hands. I guess today we aren't made like this. Somewhere we decided we always want more. Fab.

    I am in love with my vibrator, it even has a name, alas Buz! Don't have to make it coffee in the morning, always ready to go hard and strong for however long I want, don't have to share the bills with it, does everything I ask, can get it anytime I want....I am in heaven!!! Seriously though, I have been lucky enough to fall in love 4 times in this lifetime. Married 3 out of the 4. I do believe in love and not afraid to fall again. I am divorced now although lucky enough to have been there. Would not change my past, just not meant to be. Unfortunately widowed to one husband...never mind. Depends on the individual and your willingness. Not into padlocking heart up. My parents have been married and are still very much in love, it has been 53 yrs...They still date lol, they have their date nights. Mum shares a little tooooo much with me which I won't get into now lol lol....ewwww Make love and not war!!!!nor enemies..... xxxx

    In a perfect world you would be able to find a dream partner.....someone who can make you laugh, hold you when you cry, buy you presents just because, make you feel like the most improtant most special woman in the world. After being in a relationship for 20 years I found that this died off after the kids came along. Now I am looking for someone who can make me scream, moan, lose control and be aching afterwards.

    My dream partner is someone who will fullfill my desires in and out of the bedroom. I have met someone on this site who has met the bedroom requirement lol very nicely I might add. Now I need to find a way to have the other side of life equally satisfied. Anyone who can do both things is in my opinion a perfect man lol. hugs xxxx
