I am, shall we say, a large man. Texas sized as my wife would say.

I never thought I would find someone I loved who would love me back. Most ladies would judge me in a second as a no-go.

But this lady... Darty.... saw me for who I was inside and chose to make her decision on that criteria. For that... she will be queen for a day every single day that I live.

Digging,
You have it exactly! When a women is "Queen of the Hill" she isn't going anywhere!

Excellent posts you've made on this thread, Digging!

A lot of single folks in their twilight years I've met seem to be holding out for some fantasty person and nobody is perfect enough for them... and they are too secure in their life to let somebody else in...

Once they've reached the point of independance and security...there's no room for anybody else...

Insecurity at the beginning of a relationship is good because through time you learn you can lean on each other thru thick or thin...

Most folks who reach the age your talking about are too secure in who they are or who they've become to trust somebody else to help them or they've played the game so much with their own life they refuse to open that door that brings people together...

and it's sad..

as for me and my wife... we stay extremely romantic....glances...touch...hugs..kisses....word s....

YAHOO!!!

Kinda of scary to think about, possibly, going it alone some day. Getting older can be a little frightening, I think.

The "chemical" attraction needs to be there...for obvious reasons... However, most people mistake that initial chemistry for love, when in reality LOVE is what you do day to day with or for another person, even when the "chemistry" has sometimes gone AWOL.

The romantic man is the one who commits his life to cherishing his woman, and then sticks to his commitment. You can provide all the flowers and dinners and jewelry and kisses and walks on the beach and talks by the fire you want to, but if a man won't commit to a relationship fearlessly and selflessly, he's missed the point of romance completely.

Maybe if more people had that chemical attraction there'd be less druggies hehe.

I want a new drug
One that wont make me sick
One that wont make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick

I want a new drug
One that wont hurt my head
One that wont make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

One that wont make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you
When Im alone with you

I want a new drug
One that wont spill
One that dont cost too much
Or come in a pill

I want a new drug
One that wont go away
One that wont keep me up all night
One that wont make me sleep all day

One that wont make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you
When Im alone with you
Im alone with you baby

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that wont make me feel too bad
One that wont make me feel too good

I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that wont make me talk too much
Or make my face break out

One that wont make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you
When Im alone with you

If your married you have a rich history (hopefully) of a Good relationship you can draw strength from and probaly be somewhat more successful at another because of your experiance of leaning and loving...

Very true, Revrandy and I do. Sometimes I look out of the kitchen window and wonder how I could take care of this place by myself. My husband asked me if I would remarry. I said, "If I could take care of myself financially, no, I wouldn't and it would also depend on how old I was at the time." lol!

Oh, I like them, so I probably have heard it - just didn't realize those were the words!

lol...aren't most songs like that? I always get a kick when years later I realized what they were REALLY saying.

We listened to Lola when we were kids getting high and thinking what a great song it was....then years later and sober we realized he was singing about a guy in drag coming on to him
