- Well, in a way this question has a strange twist. I think what many people
- would value most, is honesty. And therefore just "being ones self," is
- about all one can do. Everyone has got an interesting side, it all seems
- to matter how well they hide it.
-
- An axiom is that if one changes to please another then they themselves
- become miserable in time. Admittingly, all relationships need a measure of
- giving and compromise, but if one were to change their entire image, just
- to win over a "prize," them soon the novelty wears off. And on the subject
- of girls asking men out, its happening. Not quite 50% yet, but its getting
- there.

- Well said. As much as magazines like Glamour, try to make it seem
- otherwise, this applies to men also. What one thinks is stunning may be
- bland to another.
-
- >Money: Not me, not that vain...
-
- Ah, the greatest of misconceptions. I don't know the greater fool, the one
- who marries for money or the sucker that buys a spouse. To quote a famous
- rock star, "Some of the best affairs I have had are with rich doctors
- wives." I think money and love a pretty widely seperated. I think
- marriages for money are more of a tactical convience than anything else.
-
- A friend of mine and myself got sick of seeing the "If Your Rich, I'm
- Single," bumper sticker,so we created a better one of our own: THE BEST WAY
- TO STAY RICH AND SINGLE IS TO NOT LET ANYONE KNOW.

- >Sense of Humor: DEFINITELY ... it sure helps if you can
- >laugh together through the bad times as well as the good.
-
- True.

- >>but how do you ladies class a Gentleman?? Kindness?? Personality?? Manners?
- >>There are a lot of guys out there who are feeling lost in this subject

- A Gentleman is one who reveres honor, courage, kindness, manners and
- fairness. His behavior towards men AND women should refelct respect and
- dignity. I will admit that this term is becoming hard to define in the
- past few years. A lot of the chivalrous traditions of the "male" relm are
- being frowned on. For example, A few days ago I held a door open for a
- middle aged woman who stopped and told me, "I can open my own door, thank
- you." I was a bit taken back since I would hold the same door for a member
- of my own sex also. Even some of the old customs of "black tie" events are
- changing and I will admit it becomes easy to accidentally offend someone by
- what used to viewed as an act of common courtesy.
-
- And as far as knowing the subject of love... I think man has tried to
- understand it since he could first contemplate his own existance. Look at
- Art and Song even back to the earliest days a written works. But of cousre
- that's what makes it so nice.
