ParticipantDo you upper crust people avoid drama in your relationships really?
Brian mentions avoiding drama, I see polite people as being as dramatic as anyone else , just less likely to get you in the emergency room.Not sure how to say what I want to say. But if you put a man and a woman together there is going to be some drama.
As to love, that’s an instinct , it can be there from the start, no problem and it can hang around in the right environment and not in the wrong.It seems like Love survives by keeping the environment right and makes shared affection possible. That’s an art. Maybe in old age something different but good (i am not old yet so I don’t know).
Love generally comes first ask any man who has tried to give his wife some affection when the environment wasn’t right ….drama, Unless it was a financial transaction.
Brian has never sounded to me like he would be setting up the right environment for love and affection to me, not with a woman from any “class” Some money is going to have to change hands and I don’t think it will be from any woman to Brian.
Saying that you are not going to marry below yourself is drama.
ParticipantI won;t say this is conclusive but love is about procreation but it belongs to the human race which is a procreative force together . It’s most concentrated when two people want to make babies.
There is a saying in Mexico , “The baby brings the torta under his arm”. That’s the essence of love.
There is potentially love for and from everyone on the tribal basis even if it comes from procreation.
ParticipantNo love in the absence of procreation?
ParticipantSo are you still into this book or series of books, WW?
Participant[quote=flyer]Completely understand what you mean. “Suspension of disbelief” is definitely necessary on the part of the viewer in many sci-fi films. I actually prefer other genres as well, but, this is the very hot trend of the moment, and it’s fascinating to see the extaordinary interest all around the world.
My personal “take” on the phenomenal success of these type of of films is that most people would much rather live in a fantasy world than the real world.
For the most part, since my wife is in the business, we look at films as entertainment, but primarily, as investments, and watch the market like hawks. We know the bubble will eventually burst, and there will be a new “hot property,” that we’ll move onto, but that’s what makes it all so interesting.[/quote]
Sounds good, seems to me that there were some other people on Piggington’s
a few years back that were connected to movie making somehow. I seem to recall someone living in La Jolla.I really hope that most people see this stuff as entertainment, especially my kids.
Participant[quote=flyer][quote=Blogstar]The Lego movie was really good!
What’s going on with the super hero movies?
Guardians of the Galaxy?
Flyer have you seen it?
Also Ironman 3, the only one I watched.
What is the draw to these things for people who would rate them as good as a lot of people do?
I thought better of the story lines of recent spider man movies, though they weren’t really as visually astonishing.
Elysium made a pretty good depiction of Post apocalyptic Los Angeles….but really crappy movie for me.
Left to my own devices I am a foreign movie, art film, chick flick, documentary type of viewer, but I watch some of this stuff with the family.[/quote]
Have seen all of the above, with “Guardians” being my favorite.
Hollywood has realized that Superhero films do well domestically, and blow the roof off internationally. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them out there-it’s all “business,” and business is good. This is a trend that is projected to last through 2020, so we’ll just have to wait and see if the bubble bursts sooner or later.
Here’s an interesting article that sheds a little more light on that topic:
With that I can see the broad appeal. I am not a sci-fi fan. My wife is but didn’t like the dialog for Guardians. The main characters werie likeable /somewhat relatable for me but agree with my better half on the dialog.
DIdn’t understand why if they could grow one dancing groot(corny) from a cutting why they couldn’t grow thousands. These kinds of things trip me up about sic-fi. Mechanical impossibilities that are often part of the action drive me nuts.
Participant[quote=Rich Toscano][quote=CA renter][quote=Rich Toscano]For me it’s the inside letters that dictate compatibility. I have friends of all kinds, but the ones I most easily fit in with are *NT*.
**F* people, if they are opinionated, tend to drive me nuts.[/quote]
I’m INTJ, and could not agree more with your last sentence! Hadn’t thought about it before, but when thinking about the people who truly drive me up the wall…you’ve hit the nail on the head. Thanks! 🙂
edited to add: But not scaredy. He doesn’t come across as an “F” to me.[/quote]
Yeah, to clarify… I didn’t mean to slam F’s in general. I like scaredy/walterwhite/squat3000/etc! I get along fine with lots of Fs and they can be found among my closest friends. (“Some of my best friends are F’s” hee hee… but it’s true!)
It’s just: on those pretty rare occasions when I find myself constantly exasperated by someone… that someone is usually an opinionated F.[/quote]
I only met you once but I can see you really being put off by a vociferous F as opposed to a poised F like scaredy.
ParticipantNot the best metaphor “the ring”
Thanks for the suggestion on reading the links. I read a few and am done. My response will not add to the discussion.
ParticipantI am not jumping back in the ring on this one CaRenter.
I’d like to know why Brian or other approximately 40 yo men should or shouldn’t include divorcees in the women considered available for marriage.
What do you think?
ParticipantScaredy , let’s hear your take on why Brian should or shouldn’t avoid divorcees? (I thought he said he was divorced)
I don’t know if B, ever said how old he was but seems like 40 give or take. Kev says 40. So keep in mind that these are not spring chickens, I mean roosters.
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]I hate to brag but I am awesome at apologizing. I apologized to my kids a lot over the years.
Kids dig being apologized to.
I still really enjoy it.[/quote]
ParticipantI apologize , Carenter , for being snarky and for calling you a liar.
ParticipantI tried the monetarization idea on very hard. For example the making of my kids
Halloween suit and taking him out to a party until 9 while my wonderful, but exhausted from her weeks work , wife went home to care for and catch up with the other two boys and relax. She also did not monetarize the time she spent with blogstar jr’s 1&2 which is a big help for both of us.My conclusion it that FOR ME, monetarization CHEAPENS everything that has to do with the personal growth , emotional and physical support for my family.
If I started charging my wife for lovemaking I think the best parts would disappear and that would really be hard to live with.
And if by chance, I get kicked to the curb in a vulnerable state of unemployment I can deal with that, my future is not in dire jeopardy .
