You know in today's world it is next to impossible to find the exact ideal partner. I spent the last 37 years of my life between 2 women and the only good thing that came out of all that time and investment of me busting my ass off in putting time in these two marriages was my 2 boys- outside of them i feel I had 37 years stolen from me. I really don't believe there is a ideal partner or relationship even possible today. i can tell you with expertise what makes me feel like absolute shit in a relationship as the i had two great teachers in the two women who were good at making a man feel like i wanted to run out in front of moving traffic as so many women seem to be able to do today, but i can tell you i learned you need to be respected and it helps to be like minded in many areas with the right woman and it helps if she had the right kind of upbringing in regards to having someone in her life growing up teaching her how to treat a Man and most today never got this and i am speaking of women from ages 45 to 70-even some of these women never got this from their upbringing- but being respectful and it going in both ways and being like minded and as far as women younger than this forget about it. But a woman who can be compassionate, understanding, affectionate , kind and gentle in how she interacts with a man, It also helps if you have many things in common and a great sense of humor and be sweet-a quality that seems to be missing in so many women today. Someone who is a good communicator as well. I know a relationship works both ways and two need to be equally invested in making it work.
Well, Paris, I have been married for 25 years and we are the couple that finishes each other sentences.
He pretty much accepts me for who I am. Sometimes it can feel like a bit of apathy, perhaps, but overall it's a very good thing. He critiques me and sometimes sees me as more negative than I think is fair, but he also talks about my good points.
He told me on the weekend he bases his impression of women off of me. That's not the right thing to do, at all. I thought he was doing that, I could sense it. I think it's bizarre. I would have thought he would know better. That makes no sense, statistically. And he's a big numbers-statistics guy.
But when he talks to other women, or hears males talk about their partners, he often doesn't relate, so then he gets a small reminder, and it tends to temporarily make him appreciate me a bit more again.
No, he sees them generally/more as equals, peers, etc. (albeit more emotional, sensitive, ones.)
I think it may be accurate, though, that he, like many men, tends to favour/give more benefit of the doubt or sympathy to females. I think it comes down to there being less competition across the genders (but rather within the genders.) Also, we know our own gender's 'tricks' and 'tells.'
Some people, otoh, have a more adversarial relationship to the opposite gender. Say, for example, because they 'have never had much luck with them', and feel slighted, etc etc., so they will defend and be more sympathetic to their own gender. Both situations are common, right.
My husband is more likely to say "men are dogs", "they're sexually frustrated", "they always want sex with as many partners as they can get." We argue about this a lot, just how many fall into this category. We debated it on the weekend, in fact. It's interesting that he was never one of those, yet he tends to see that in other guys, so often.
That's the way to do it. Always treat your significant other as an equal. I have a bad feeling my generation has lost their way with that
@Kylekasuboski Absolutely. I agree with you. It's a disturbing trend.
I'm also really disturbed by this current fixation/fad with men being sexual doms in bed, and being so aggressive and in-charge over the girls. Girls are asking, "Is he supposed to choke me, even when I tell him to stop?" "Do I have to let him cum on my face?" And this guy, who's around my age (although it's extremely common with people in their 20s too): “I put her in positions and I flip her over and around when I want to change. I'm willing to take requests, but I'm always in control.”
Where is the partnership.
I've never been in a relationship but I would love to date someone who could make me laugh. That would make a difference in our relationship.

It is nice knowing that someone really does care about me.
Her smiles, Paris!!
I remember very well my ex-girlfriends smiles... they all had a few different ways in which they would smile to me, and it was either because of me, making them feel happy or wanting to be happy with me, even when they were upset or even mad at me for whatever reason, I could get a smile from them eventually. Genuine smiles I can tell them apart, and also they give me a great insight on their moods and what would they be in the mood for. If I ever started to see no smiles like these in a relationship of mine, then I would have to start considering something is happening or happened, and things are just not the same anymore... but luckily I have not been there yet. So, smiles make me feel great about people and they also give me reassurance.
glad to share (=
There's too much to mention, but every time I look into my partners eyes, it gives me the most wonderful feeling Paris. X
So Beautiful, @White_Widow xx
When I roll away and he look for me in his sleep, it's just adorable
Everything about our relationship makes me happy. We've been married for 26 years. We've had our ups and downs like other couples. We made 2 good kids. I couldn't ask for a better wife.
The love we have for each other. Its a bond only a few have ever experienced
Can't stand arguing so I can't pick everything. It's such a waste of time most of the time
Some things I guess, when ever I’m in one, it’s nice having attention
Being able to talk seriously and laugh at each other
My wife was raped over 5 year peroid. That made her wild. So 18 years of 36 years was bad while last 18 years was good. So my marriage was 50 /50
Trust loyalty and understanding that goes both ways
My partner cares enough about me to upset me for my own good
Staying true to myself and my values.
My sexual performance ma'm
Snuggling in the morning and fresh coffee...
sex makes me feel good
The peace.
Not being in one.
