Polls: Relationships

In my experience, women hold a grudge (especially if it's against a man) much more than a man does. A man tends to move on with more important things while a woman seems to hold onto that grudge, sometimes until they get even.

What do you think? Do men or women hold grudges more?

Cause when you hate you still care somewhat whereas when you are indifferent you don’t.

I've had this question from multiple females in ailing relationships recently. Seems an expectation of men that no matter the difficulty, they will keep fighting and come back for the woman... undying love.

... and so I ask about staying power...

Imagine your beautiful mate is everything you wanted and easy, except one thing. Each day, they prick you with a small needle, not worse than a bee sting. It's ridiculous, but it's their way out outletting internal grief and you accepted their cultural behavior because they are perfect in every other way.

How many days of that can you endure.

This is the basis in some cultures, of torture...

Obviously there's a point to the analogy. Relationships have some pain which we need to endure, hopefully a lot more good and you learn to work together effectively to make each others lives better, more fun, more joyful, fulfill needs of each.

Love seems a bit alchemy doesn't it, and maybe a notch fickle. It requires great communication, patience, giving, receiving, accepting. It's alchemy cooking...

I was walking through the mall today and I was stopped by someone from a charity. I tried to ignore them but gave in. Guy was nice and all but could tell he was just trying to get me in the mood to donate. Ended up giving him some personal details which I shouldn't have such as name and birthday. Then was wanting me to sign up for a regular donation which was $30 a day and can cancel anytime. I was a bit reluctant at this point so when he asked for credit card details I used a card I knew didn't have enough credit on. He was continuing to chat to me while the credit payment was processing, then it said payment unsuccessful. He asked to check card details again which I showed him and it failed again. He asked if this is the card I normally use, which I said yes and was unsure why it wasn't working. Eventually I said I had to go and sorry card didn't work. What do you do?

Yup one last question on this topic.

If you meet someone online and you NEVER meet in person, that mean you never

held hands

hugged

had a first kiss

had a makeout session

had sex together

Those are all things that people do in traditional relationships, at least eventually. Yes, of course, if you don't have the "distractions" of a physical relationship, you can pay attention to getting to know each other better, but. . . isn't that what they call "friendship?"

What do you think? LDR + never meet = not a relationship?
