so upon
returning from
my
evenings rendezvous
posting
ever so briefly

i was about to retire
when
i
was engaged in
a most delightful
conversation

my spanish
is as you well know
miserable
and
my companions english
was only slightly better

but with some effort
we talked of many things

and
polished off
most of a bottle
of
rum
which i
of course
convienently
had located in
my hotel room

we talked for
several hours
breaking only
when the sun
was risen

it raised many questions
and
now that i am

[mostly]

sober

i have been thinking
[danger will robinson]

the question
which i will pose
while i continue to deliberate
is

what is a good man?

Val Kilmer and Owen Wilson are blonde and skinny. My ex is skinny and desirable in many ways, though not blonde.

hmm
and that
is
your measure of worth?

blonde and skinny

why does that
amuses me
ever so slightly

[city-glitter.livejournal.com]

My measures of worth have to do more with personality. But if we're discussing corpses, personality is hardly relevant. :)

so
what
measures up
in your eyes
in
terms of
personality

Well, my experiences have suggested that there are essentially three kinds of men:

1) Think I'm a goddess. Never question anything I say or do.

2) Think I'm a whore. Never give the time of day to anything I say or do.

What I like in a man (or a woman) is someone who respects me for my virtues, sees my failings for what they are rather than not out of proportion in either direction, and likes me anyway.

I'll do the same for them.


How's that, hmm?

and the third type of man? what is he? does he exist?

not to sound
condescending
for i mean it quite the opposite
but
it was actually a better answer
than i had hoped for

the madonna/whore complex
so many men have is
excessively trite and
lacks any amusing quality

but i would wager
that love takes you
one step further

it is not enough to love and respect
someone for their virtues
and accept or tolerate their failings

love is to cherish
their failings
for it is those failings
which make them human

that which distinguishes us
from the countless masses
those foibles which make us
special and unique

those dark secrets
hidden deep among
our skeletons
which we share
only with those
closest to us
those who face our monsters
beside us
and think more of us for them
not less

i wish you well
in your quest for that third type
that you may be
both queen and whore
to your hearts content
and
never be limited to
either

What can I say to that? Thank you, and it's good to know someone sees it the way I wish everyone saw it.

Re: and the third type of man? what is he? does he exist?

I'm so smart. I just realized I didn't say what the third kind of man is.

The third kind of man is what I said I liked, but forgot to put "3)" in front of.

mmm
to each their own
how absolutely boring
would it be
if
we all saw
the world
the same way

there are many truths
and many fictions

some we tell ourselves
some we tell others

all that seperates
the truths from the fictions
is
belief

what you believe
is
true

nothing more
nothing less
