OK, big boy. You're some kind of a super stud. We get it. Ain't the internet great? You can be whoever you want to be.

By "picking one" and "settling down" I assume you mean marriage. You should know something: marriage isn't just about love. Marriage is about living the rest of your life with the person you love. In life, you're going to change. You aren't the same person you were when you were 16, are you? And when you were 16, you weren't the same person you were when you were 10, were you? This continues. When you're 30, you'll be a very different person than you were when you were 21. etc. The same will be true for any woman you hook up with. In time, she will completely change (both physically and emotionally). What's important is that you both value commitment. What that means is, as the years go by and you both change completely, the one thing (possibly the only thing) that won't change is that you'll still make your relationship with your each other the highest priority in your lives, and you will do anything it takes to secure and improve that relationship. This is the quality you should look for in someone (after you've established that you both love each other). Is she the type of person who will stick with you even if you get fat? If you lose your job? lose your money? lose your hair? grow old? Completely disagree with everything she does? Are you the type of person who will still stand by her when she gets fat? loses her hair? Gets acne? loses a breast to cancer? grows old? Completely disagrees with everything you do? Certainly you should love each other. But you both must have a natural predisposition to mettle to make it last a lifetime. If either one of you doesn't have it, you shouldn't get married.
I would say: the one who likes to hang-out, watch basketball, play video games and scratch your balls for you....is the keeper.
omg.. dude that scared the **** outta me. now i must have a talk with my girl. but thats a great post.
great post. also just like to add that when you marry someone, you aren't just marrying that personm. you're marrying that person and all the people in their life, family, friends, enemies, etc. just another factor to consider.
For a while, I had the feeling that you and FFB were actually the same person. But after reading this post, I'm fairly certain that's not the case.
Yup, I spend more time per week with my in-laws than I do with my own parents. Several reasons for that: 1) My in-laws live in the same town as my wife and me (actually only 4 tenths of a mile from us) where my parents live in my old home town which is 13 miles away. 2) My mother-in-law along with my sister-in-law are business partners with my wife 3) My wife's family has always been a close-knit unit - one of those that always do things together like eating out on easter, getting together for other holidays, etc. Don't get me wrong - having a close family like that is great because you know they are always backing you and will be there if things get bad. Of course, it is a double-edged sword, though, in that there are times where I feel (and my wife does too) I have no privacy. Like everything else in life, it has its pros and cons.
wow...let me chime in on the Wangdoodle post being great! just to be honest. I don't require this of them, or at least, I don't think about or bring it up in discussion, except during vows. Even if I did, I don't think it would necessarily mean anything, or be the lasting truth. I do ask myself about if I'm the type of person, though. most definitely. I think I just feel that it's our job to shower with affection and flattery and do the best you can do, so they have no choice but to stay in love. Well, actually, I'm just recently learning this. sigh
Wow, WangDoodle. You freakin' sound like you should jump into the "Divorce?" thread started a while back... you'll see some nice entries in there... those who were in it remember that stuff... and how much I was against... well, just go check it out. Truer stuff hasn't been said, freaker. We have a song from Ramón Ayala called Cuando Apenas Era Jovencito, which says: "No la busques hijo, muy bonita, porque al paso del tiempo se le quita... busca amor... nada más que amor...", which translates to "don't look for her, my son, so pretty, because with time that 'pretty' is gone... look for love and only love"... it's a mom giving her son some GREAT advice about how to choose a chick. Manny, sent ya an email, please respond.
Wouldn't it be funny if Wangdoodle had us all fooled and his post was really a quote from a movie or something?
That was all me. Why... did it sound good enough to have come from a movie or something? (ooo - just remembered that my 11-year anniversary with my wife is next month!)
Date them all, but not at the same time...It's f'n hard to juggle women, as the details get blurred... If you're looking to get married, then you'll know...It'll be the person that you think of every second of your life and realize you can't live without...
The sky of my mind is usually clouded by chauvinism, sarcasm, and ignorance... ...but there are occasional sunbeams of competence.
