katy,

You're fascinating to me.

TAKE CARE KATY.

When I say this to a woman, it means I'm after... oh, never mind.

Yeah, I didn't want to imply your wife was a superficial bum, obviously. I was trying to get my point across without having you think I was some ungrateful and unruly stupid youth. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ah don't worry, I was actually picking myself up for not making that clear, not you.

and so you know, my wife isn't a superficialist with all films. She thinks Black Narcissus is a great movie for example - no real superficialist would ever say that.

In fact I was sorta surprised she didn't connect with the material more. There's some sections where Jessie is talking on the boat that sounds like our marriage has been at points along the way, and I was a little uncomfortable about it, but she didn't seem to react to it, or comment on it in any way (which was a relief).

Did you try and talk to her about the movie? Maybe it connected with her so much she felt uncomfortable!

Don't worry mang, if there was something she wanted to talk about in the movie, I'd know about it.


Age and experience makes me appreciate the old adage 'let sleeping dogs lie' as pure gold.

Katy, you're always saying things like "guys don't do this or feel that" and I don't like it! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] First, it just ain't true. Guys love intimacy as much as girls. And if you've found that not to be the case, you're just hanging around the wrong guys! We want that special someone, that wondrous connection, just as much as you do. We want to be able to laugh and talk and "banter" back and forth, too.

Hm, I don't recall always saying things like "guys don't do this or feel that." Weird. Do I say stuff like that on here a lot? The only time I remember saying something like that was when I asked "why don't men like talking to their significant other?" Not saying that ALL guys hate talking, because obviously there are one or two of you chatterboxes around. But in general my observation has been that men don't like talking once they are in a long term relationship. (I know you aren't like this, Dom. I get it.) And I would doubt that Jesse carried on long meandering conversations with his wife after about 3 years.

If I am always slandering you guys I apologize. Didn't realize I was. I don't get what any of this has to do with me saying that Jesse's attempt to brush the hair off her face was intimate and something girls like. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

that's okay, I'm just PMSing. Blarg broke up with me.

[katyseagull]

Maybe if you had brushed the hair off his face more often he wouldn't have.

I also think it is interesting that I always just assumed that, for me, it was a surrounding age group thing. I assumed it would get better maybe as I got older. Katy's posts have made me rethink that assumption.

a little off-topic, but perhaps that's an extension of the whole "30 is the new 20" theme. seems to me people don't mature in some ways nearly as quickly as they grow up.

[SoloAJ]

That's probably a very good point pryor. I feel like I'm doing a good job maturing as I grow, especially when I look around and see people who are begging to get raped by passing out at a party wearing no clothes. I digress.

However, I'm also on a 6 year moratorium for my undergrad. Half the people my age have already "joined the real world" and therefore are probably slightly more mature than me with applied matters in that front.

I'd like to think by the time I'm 30 that I'm not going to be surrounded by the same types of people I'm surrounded by right now though...
