Absolutely not. I'm just speaking from my own experiences that often others see things in us that we didn't see in ourselves.
That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying and being a good sport. :)

Just as I said, out of curiosity. Your reasoning is well thought out. I'm sure there are men like that, but you're right that they would be rare, indeed.
I'm just always interested in challenging people's reasoning.  I'm contrary, that way.
Out of curiosity, why do you think those men would be rare?

What do you mean? Do you know any of these kinds of guys? 'Cause if you do and you've been holding out on me, I'm gonna cry...
lol!
I'm convinced they are very rare. eHarmony couldn't manage to put me together with one in 10 months.
Skrey, I just wondered if something in my first post had made your line of thinking take off on that path of curiosity, that's all.
Thanks...I do think I have thought it through. But then, in my experience, God likes to mess with those carefully thought out principles...

Likelihood of wanting children "of their own" (Though, if they were widowed, they may already have). Likelihood they haven't been through the kind of experiences mentioned. Likelihood that they want someone young and pretty (Not matching just this one is rare). Likelihood that they don't have the parenting techniques mentioned.
But rare or common, God can bring you together.

I was in a smart aleck-y mood when I posted that question, with the intention of responding to your answer with your "I'm just always interested in challenging people's reasoning. I'm contrary, that way."
Sorry.

Ah. But if you were my date/significant other I'd love that you were on my team.

Good question, I'll name the ones I can think of...
When I love someone, I love them with every ounce of my being.
I am committed, you either don't have any of me or you have 110% of me!
I am loyal, I won't leave you, no matter what!
I love to make people laugh and I love to laugh, I've been told my laugh sounds like music! *shrugs* LOL!
I can smile at you and make you happy, even when you would like to cry.
I know how to cook and I do a rather good job of it too!
I can sing, and I seem to do it all the times.
I know how to listen when you need to talk.
That's all I can think of at the moment, there may be more, but that's all I can think of!

While I have resoundingly whipped most of the ladies I've dated (or been married to) at Trivial Pursuit I'm pretty sure that's not the reason they dumped me.
