I actually like men. They aren't all bad. :-))
It's just a matter of developing a discerning eye and some good, healthy boundaries.

I agree, Casey. Some of my favorite people are men.

I would never want to be without my girlfriends, tho.

I love men as you all know. If most wars are started by men then there was a woman in the background somewhere egging it on...lol Some of the most notorious battles were fought over a woman.

While women usually aren't on the front lines, they are usually just as influential as the front line generals whispering in the ears of their men and making suggestions. Sometimes covert activities are just as profound as overt ones.

I like men and women. I guess I gravitate towards the ones having the most fun.

You're funny Dotsie. I have to agree!

Some of the worlds most successful and treacherous spys have been women. Read your history books and see, or google female spys...Guess its just in our nature, LOL!!!

I love peace, but not at any price. When things get too boring I've been known to stir the waters a bit just for the entertainment of it.

Peace means different things to different people. To me peace is just the absence of constant conflict. I'm not niave enough to believe that there will never be conflict in my life. Conflict just serves to make the times of calm that much more enjoyable.

I used to feel uncomfortable around alot of men..simply because I was raised in a family that had alot of girls and my closest friends were and are still women.

Of course, my partner is a male best "friend", in the most intimate way. But at this time in life, I don't have platonic close friendships with other specific men regularily by going out to have drinks/lunches with them. Partially because relocation to a different province, just has made it long process to develop good friendships...of any gender.

But after working in several workplaces where the majority of employees are men, ...it's just as abit boring as a place with predominantly women.

I am not comfortable with men who view women as sexual objects...these men have no place in my life. I have a lover/lifelong partner already...so I just ignore these guys...life is short.

And I now get a little impatient with any man or woman who is afraid of trying something new.

That's a pet peeve of mine too. I don't know what happens, but it seems all growth stops at a certain age or stage of development and from that time on the person wears their hair the same, listens to the same kind of music, like the same style of clothes and shoes, watches reruns of the same sitcoms, likes the same kind of people and forms of entertainment and that's it!
Anything else is foreign and alien to them or just too much trouble to explore and examine or even try.

My ex is 60. Listens to nothing but doowoop, wears the same white tennis shoes and polo shirts with denim shorts, has worn his hair the same way for 40 years, drinks the same brand of beer, watches the same shows on TV and wouldn't dance if his life depended on it. Likes only pork and chicken and order.

orchid, I can't stand it when men think they're cute and act flirtatious or comment on your figure, their sex life, or other things of that nature. YUK! We recently had an estimate by a boomer man who totally turned me off. I was glad my son was home. He just came across as a flirt. I mean, all we did was ask him to come give us an estimate. What's up with that behaviour. He won't get the job.

NewLeaf, I agree with people who become stagnant, but I like to beleive that boomers are less stagnant than prior generations. What do you think?
