I see so many postings here about how hard it is to find a good man.. A good man isn’t just born. They evolve over times of challenge, times of triumph and times of failure. That guy you spot that pulls at your heart, then you realize he has some faults.. with the right person, who knows, he could be a good man. Take a chance. Don’t wait for Mr. Perfect. Find someone you feel “right” with and work together to become the “good one” you both were looking for.

ReginaLove, that is SO great to hear! As for soy, it may help with menopause symptoms -- it it controversial. The best way to use soy is in the form of whole fermented soy foods (miso, tempeh, tamari and natto). Non-fermented soy foods such as soy mi
Agreed. I never thought I was vain until I had a mastectomy at age 39. I was devastated and told the doc I wanted to wake up with implants. Now at age 60, I am lopsided and wondering if I was just avoiding the inevitable. You get what you get and you
Sounds very interesting.
Spike, you are awesome! Love your perspective, thanks for sharing.
You raise an interesting point. I think sometimes women are waiting for Mr Perfect from the get go…..all too often, Mr, Perfect at the get go is about an inch deep and all superficial.
My husband is perfect–for me and to me. He did charm me on our first date (hence there were a couple more). But somewhere around dates 3-4 I mentally started to pick at him. Geez was he really serious with that sweater vest thing? Why was a 55 year old man talking so much about college–hadnt he grown up yet?
And I almost just bailed out. But then I did something bitchy.
I told him that the sweater vests were ”not so much a look for him” –he laughed, said he didn’t know , threw them all out, and asked me to go shopping with him. (Hey–fashion is my thing, what can I say?)
And as far those college memories….they werent memories. He is still friends with many of his best friends from college I discovered and they are a wonderful support network of men for each other………..in an adult lifestyle way–not a “boys will be boys” kind of way.
Now that’s sexy. ANd that also means I have a good man, a quality man of substance.
And to think I almost passed it by over a couple of ugly sweater vests and utterly misreading his college ruminations. DUH.
it seems you were posting at the same time I started on a similiar thread.
i didn’t see my husband in a crowd for 2 years before we started dating. Because he wore a baseball cap! lol. He seldom wears them anymore, but has a few cherished ones he likes to keep.
he also has males friends of many many years standing, long before I came into his life, and has dinner with them once a week. And I enjoy those evenings. I often bring home some take out food, or cook myself some fish on those nights, because he’s allergic to fish.
Great Post, Dallas Lady…….and good for you!
…..Aaaaahhhh……..this is from an email he sent me this morning:
Mr. Dallas Lady writes: I know you meet two men everyday before noon that are more worthy of your affection than me……yet, I surely adore you more……
Heck, he can have his way with me tonight, even if he comes home in a sweater vest!!!!!
Thanks for the reminders!!
Good suggestions to all of us. Sometimes my daughters ask their dad (my husband) why they can’t find a man their own age like him. He tells them “honey, I haven’t always been this wonderful.”
