The most factor in mate selection is proximity - they gotta see one another! Then comes all the hormonal stuff - it has always been thus, and will be forever more...

Common sense is something my Mom talked a lot about. She had a generous amount of it herself and I learned a thing or two from her. But, I still was lacking at times in that commodity. I see that as I look back at my life and mistakes I made.

I guess it comes down to personal preference! But, the fashion industry has as much to do with it as anyone! My daughter is a conservative dresser but likes to look very nice as well! She has such a difficult time finding decent clothes! It's either laced with holes or too revealing! I am happy for you and George because you live the way life should be lived! sam

I just love this Post...I am sure that my first marriage to a Sports Jock
with all those problems who was a foot taller than me with long long legs compared to my duck waddlers....was because I was looking for Physical attributes for my children without realizing that improving the look of the next generation of Aussies was going to destroy him and me. Oh, and he admitted he fell in love with a pink dress!!

Wow, it sounds like your emotions were running all over the place there, but I understand what you're saying. Yes, at times it does seem like our thoughts on reality and our internal emtions do clash and contradict each other, but that's what makes us human ( I think ). I did not meet my wife and get married until I was in my early 40's, and I am so glad I waited. My wife is the most wonderful person I have ever met, and I'm not being biased simply because she's my wife. I went through my share of, okay I'll say just it, bitches, forcing myself to deal with the "weeds" until I finally found my "flower." Now I'm happy . . .

I hear you Justi... I married at 17 ( He had very bright feathers loll) and have gone through hell and back throughout my marriage . IF I had been 17 today I guess I would have divorced several times already but I was raised by a very Catholic father to believe that marriage was forever and that as like in life, through a marriage one went through bad and good times. I was tempted many times to stray... as I am sure was he, but we stayed faithfull to the promises we had made and no, it was not perfect perhaps to other's interpretation of what a good marriage should be but it was just right for us... He was not my "soul mate" or what I thought at 17 a soul mate would be loll... but tell me... after 40 years sharing everything... does that not make us mates???? I think so... Nothing could take us apart till now and even if now G-d has seen it fit that he is taken away from me in the cruelest of ways... he still is and will always be that bright feather boy I met so long ago... perhaps not my soul-mate but the mate of my soul.. Be well sweetie xoxoxo

You are right of course Justi. Also most used to marry someone within walking distance and knew the history of the family, although it did not always deter one from marrying a bad one. Of course so much is attributed to clothing, once one was lucky to have a Sunday best. Tear away the glitter the real person emerges. We are probably programmed to absorb the brightest feathers and never study the beak.

I think marrying late is good as I was 33 when I married this wife, the last wife, my soul mate forever and ever.
