"If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well."
Anything new to me. Hiking, nature, camping, occult, astrology, religion, technology, online gaming, reading.
knowing what one wants can be annoying sometimes, never being able to find it... but lets put it simply
in another person who I can have the propensity to love they have to have a combination of these traits, excepting the ones marked in bold which are REQUIRED:
1. They must be smart or at least smart enough to not look at me like I'm crazy because I say something intellectual. I hate never having anything to talk about.
2. They must be attractive to me (which means basically you have to have some physically attractive quality I find appealing, doesn't mean you have to be a beauty queen, far from in fact, I'm not perfect, I do not expect perfection)
3. Sarcasm is a turn on
4. Gentility is nice but not necessary
5.Emotional, you must have the capacity to feel love and desire and a need to be with someone else, if you spout off things about being completely 100% ok by yourself, never yearning for another person, or to feel their touch, or wake up and see someone else there, we won't work
6. Semi-possesive, if you look at me and tell me its ok to go out have sex with somebody else, I'll leave you the moment I find someone else, I have had too many bad experiences with women who view sex as "not a big deal", and are primarily satisfied with me, but still want to be able to have a girlfriend in addition to me, the ultimate expression of love is not to be happy letting your significant other be "happy" aka go out and sleep with random people ! This is my belief and it will never change.
7. Loyal
8. Sexual, you must have some sort of libido, you must enjoy physical contact, be it sex itself, fooling around, or just laying flesh to flesh while watching a movie or SOMETHING, I am a man of extreme urges, I don't expect it at first, but I am not one to wait around for a year or until marriage, if you think thats a bad quality *shrugs* find a Mormon.
9. They must NOT be oversensitive unless they are eternally forgiving, (and yes try and find someone more honest than I am being right now online, or in real life, YOU WON'T NOBODOY MENTIONS THEIR OWN DOWNSIDES 100% TRUTHFULLY, other than me :P), I am sometimes loose with my tongue, I am forgiving of the same, even if i get mad, and hardly expect you not to be mad if i say something stupid or hurtful, but don't hold a grudge!
10. If long distance, they must make solid plans to see me in under 3 months, and to be with me long term in under a year. If local, this rule doesn't apply, since I can just as easily drive an hour or less, and spend the night, or see you, easily, as opposed to missing you every day we're apart because I only see you once every 2-3 months !
11. You must be affectionate, I thrive on affection and give it willingly, not to say I expect you to be all over me all the time or vice versa, that would just get annoying, as I need my own space sometimes too... but you must enjoy it, and not look on it as a nusiance, or i will just not be happy, and by extension, neither will you, because I'll only want it more
12. MUST NOT BE ABUSIVE, now before you get to thinking "oh he's a big wuss", no, I don't mind playful taps or smacks, they even add spice at the right moments, but I've had exes that hit me CONSTANTLY and HARD and IN SENSITIVE PLACES, just because they liked to, I am not abusive don't be abusive towards me ! And while I am a man, and can take physical punishment, sometimes even like it in a kinky enough setting, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I LIKE IT ALL THE TIME AND IT WON'T PUT ME IN A BAD MOOD IF IT WAS HARD AND WASN'T DESERVED !

..... how to say it... i don't really have any ? What have mortal men accomplished but to kill each other, and open the door to further exploit one another ? The "greatest" of men have dark sides just like the rest of us, why should I idolize them for it ?
