To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

I'm working on it OK?
Bollocks, ifn' ya do it the same way everyone else does it ya get the same tired old copy. Greatness is achieved by... um, other means.
Same with literacy, highly over-rated. I just dictate to Brenda here and she makes with the typing, don't you dear?
Yes, I do boss and fine words they are too.![]()

You back on maps? Meh, ever heard of Dirk Gently's holistic navigation technique? One simply finds someone that looks like they know where they're going, and follows them.
One rarely gets where one originally intended but you do get to see places you otherwise wouldn't, and you get there in an assured and confident manner, (which is far from unimportant).
And what's more it's a wonderful way to meet new people, (see back OT) with common goals, (once you explain that you're not actually stalking them, exactly, as such).

Uh no I wasn't...never mind!
That technique you're talking of seems highly suspicious to me...what if the person who looks like they know where they're going actually doesn't, but is way too lost to admit it, and is looking at someone else who looks like they know where they're going, and so follows them...
And that last person is a serial killer or something...
I'd prefer a compass and a good map personally...![]()
My Dad used to do this when we were kids -- way before Dirk Gently. Dad called his method "Zen navigation". It worked famously well. Easy to be cynical when you're going to a clearing sale in the backblocks of Taranaki and there is an extremely strong possibility that the vehicle you're following has the same intended destination. But he also used to same technique with spectacular effect finding motels in Auckland. My Dad is a star.

I read this entire thread from start to finish and was gobsmacked that you got treated like that. When I meet you I'll buy you a beer - nobody should have to put up with that, but like others have said it could've been worse - she could've married you.
Can I enrol in lessons??? p/t
In all seriousness, now that the predefined roles of "man" and "woman" are so blurred (look at our PM and her wife) it doesn't really matter what stereotype you want your potential partner to conform to, cos ultimately it'll fail as you've based your relationship on assumptions.
In my experience, it's far better to just be yourself, rather than try and pump yourself up into "a big tough man", or pretend you're really, really in touch with a woman's feelings (because medical studies have proven that this is impossible if you have a Y chromosome). Again, this comes down to trying to instil assumptions or sterotypical views of your self towards your partner.
I still try to be a gentleman, cos that's who I am. Obviously, (and it's already been said in this thread) you're never gonna see 100% eye-to-eye with your partner on everything. But it gives me warm fuzzies to hear some of the stories of people just clicking straight away - and being able to work at their relationship to overcome their differences. It also fills me with confidence that, when the time is right, I'll meet the right person for me (just as I'll be the right person for her).
And I'm also entirely confident that it'll happen to you too, Kitty. But probably not through NZDating.
I could say the same about guys and my ex! But no I have learnt alot of lessons in my ex relationship. Some bad, some good. The bad ones, Im not holding against him it takes 2 to argue. I wont hold it against any other guy either. Everyone is different, react to situations differently, and support in different ways.
Just because one treated you like shit dont mean everyone else would. If you shag most females, is this like seeking revenge sub conciously?
My bass is such a slapper.......I cant stop fingering those strings
