hahaha!

That reference was more directed toward this sentence in the OP's post: "Most INTJ women don’t really look like her as they appear akin to more of a tomboy."

lol, true. i was under the impression that i was the only one who thought so!

I actually thought it was a great advice! just wanted to let you know...

You're such a tease; like a ice cold Bud at an AA meeting.

Yea...but it's relative to those who don't even get a taste. Yum yum!

Kitties always make everything better. :3

I agree. No idea why it's so hard to understand.

I did catch that, and I thank you for the sentiment - it is mutual. It is a hard topic to discuss because there are triggers laying around everywhere, for me and for other people, just waiting to be tripped. Like a minefield, lol.

As am I and same to you. I appreciate your willingness to listen to my perspective. Sweet dreams.

Nice to see you, too! Been racking up the overtime and the extrovert pals have been dragging me out of the hut. How's tricks?

I have to bail for the evening, but will come back to answer stuff best I can.

haha. As I say "well if you slept with me, then I wouldn't be a jerk!"

Cool. Your dad seems like a guy I'd really admire.

Very cool!

heh

"OOoooo look at me I'm a 9/10 and don't need techniques because I'm sooo sexy." I'm on to you...

I refuse to fully trust anyone. I don't see the point. It's a trap. I prefer to be pleasantly surprised when people do what they say they'll do. Sometimes I miss trusting people and I try it again, but that first sting of betrayal is enough to sober me right back up.

I think we do monogamy for the same reason why everyone else does it. We want to keep out the competition. We have a kid together, and our other kids get along. It's in everyone's best interest to build a strong family environment. Before our daughter came along, it was simply because we liked each other, thought we were both moving in the same direction, and didn't think we could find anyone better.

I think the only way I could ever do an open relationship is if I wanted out, but didn't want to leave for the children's sake. I think an open relationship would be weird. Probably easier to just end the relationship and be single again. I've learned to love clean breaks over the years.

How about you? What's your stance on monogamy and trust and such?

The plump little slut on the left is named Misty or "Mist" and she likes having her belly rubbed.
The scrawny little brat on the right is Toblerone or "Ronie" (like the candy) and he thinks he's an alpha male but he's really just a weenie.

No. It's my fault. There isn't really a favorable way to spin it. She had a fling with one of her male burlesque partners when we were broken up once, years ago. I got angry and forbade future performances. I don't think either of us is really happy about it. Birds aren't as beautiful when they're caged. It's fair though, in a way. I used to date a lot of my models. She knows how my mind works. I'm not really interested in shooting a model unless I'm interested in sleeping with her. We're both willing prisoners to the other, in many ways. I don't know if it's psychologically healthy, but I call it a relationship.
