Jesus man on my way out....sheesh!

But I think I'm going to have to make my friends promise me that if they ever see me settle for some one who is not my type....to pull me aside and talk to me...and make sure I'm aware that I'm about to make a horrible mistake.

Lol! Didn't mean it quite like that! Just that, obviously, none of us are understanding.

... it's all i do

So you don't think pairs of equals work out better? Over the long run?

it's the safer play, meaning you're marrying a carbon copy of your opposite sex... which is what most people do. and of course, there will be competition (who's the better actor, brad or jenn?)

it's like... final fantasy 1:
a) 4 fighters
b) fighter, black belt, white mage, black mage

or, what's the better garage:
a) 2 m5 coupes
b) a ferrari spider and a range rover

I don't. My parents are quite opposite in a lot of ways. Both had been married before they met each other to compliments of themselves and got divorced soon after. Sure, my parents have their differences, but they've been married for almost 30 years now.

I personally look for a girl who will compliment me, but also challenge me in many ways. I like seeing different perspectives, and although there will be some moral ideals that I won't compromise on, small differences/opposites between partners is a good thing imo

[Litos]

my wife and are are complete opposites, in pretty much any category.

attitude
intensity
openness
tact
humor
people skills


our personalities are polar opposites - and it works perfectly for us

openness = LITOS
tact = Wife

seriously. my wife is real quiet and real reserved. she hates her job and doesn't have enough fortitude to go and talk to someone about promoting her or giving her more money.

she's not very open either - if i take her to a "car meet" or some kind of event where all of my friends are there, she literally won't talk to anyone that doesn't acknowledge her first. not because she's a bitch, but because she's just a clam. it gives the perception that she's a bitch, but in reality, she's just extremely shy.

humor: she's funny, but she's only funny when it's us two, at home and hanging out together. once she gets out of that element, she gets uncomfortable or something. people become funny based on funny/sarcastic comments one would make during a conversation, but if you're shying away from any conversation, you ain't funny HAHA !!!!

people skills - again, she's just way to shy and reserved to have any sort of communication with people she's not faimilar with.

i could literally make friends with the devil, but that's my openness and people skills that i was dealt with....

Wow - sounds like my girl to a T!

I could not be with a girl that can't hang with my friends. One of my ex-gfs would complain/make us leave early every time we were at a gathering with my friends. It was the worst.

she hangs with my friends, but she usually stays quiet.

sometimes i tell my friend's wives/gf's to start up a conversation with her to get her talking.

once she gets talking, she does ok, but she will NOT innitiate her own conversations....

Hey Shah I am sure your mom has someone in India setup for you that will have "no history". Quit being a phaggot.

Look I found you the perfect no history future wife. She is from punjab. Enjoy her pooonjabi poon.

HOLY CHRIST!
And there goes my breakfast and lunch and corn...WTF when was the last time I had corn...and why am I throwing it up!
Sadly with great regret...I'm Persian. And as I understand from Iran's "freely elected" president there are no gays in Iran and ugly women are shot at birth!


OK that said I was having a drink with an X GF last night after yoga class and she put it this way to me.
"Women date the hot guys, but in the end marry the ugly guys."
Which had me very confused, because who wants to marry an ugly women? my deep friend curried goat cheese engineering friends aside.

Per her experience the reason many women marry so so men is simple.
When they are married to a so so man they can
1) Trust him...after all he's so so and well odds of him getting hit on by other women is very low and he won't cheat on you.
2) Push him around since he will know that is the best he has ever had.

Kind of fucked up if you ask me. But....such is life and it clearly explains why my friend is marrying a guy who is not her type / fugly.

So yeah i guess god does talk to me via the power of the vagina

Wow. She sounds as shallow as you.

You guys were a great match! Too bad it didn't work out.
