I do observe it in "the wild" so to speak. Actually, now that you mention it, it's kind of like the time I was living in a suburban townhome development (renting for a year, that's all!) and I walked out the door one morning and looked up and down the street at the identical houses stretching to the right and left. "Is this what I'm supposed to want?" That's pretty much the identical thought I sometimes have while observing the social scene.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm so pleased to see that this post elicited responses from both genders. And that you all are so sensible about the issue. :)Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-1159713524332970202006-10-01T08:38:00.000-06:002006-10-01T08:38:00.000-06:00What most struck me was that the "fantasy date" fo...What most struck me was that the "fantasy date" for a woman was a fireman! I mean, I am on the volunteer fire department, and I assure you the men on the team are all about as average as they come. Very nice and very ordinary, everyday guys (though they DO seem to get excited about putting out fires).<BR/>A "stewdarness" (pardon me, a flight attendant), by her nature, is going to be somebody that is not going to try and tie a guy down because she has a schedule to keep. No nesting there! That is probably why she is a fantasy date. A make-believe nurturer that is impermanent.<BR/>As a successfully partnered person, the basic thing for me is that my partner is a FRIEND above all things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
