    Quote - whitevanwoman, from previous thread

    Who needs a man anyway?! (Miro - don't take offence; if I had a man around, I'd gladly let him do my DIY but there is something very empowering about doing stuff which is usually seen as man's work).

    ---

    No offence taken :D I like a woman who can do the so called 'man jobs'. I prefer women who are a bit 'different', one that likes romance etc but doesn't need diamonds, materials or set out roles. I knew a chap once whose girlfriend did all the DIY etc etc and hated all the things that are associated with women such as jewellery and housekeeping, so he did all the housekeeping whilst she did the DIY etc :) I'd like to meet a woman similar to that with no set out roles, doesn't find the need to declare love by marriage or what she can be bought, liked to be looked after but could look after back. I think it's important that women and men are independent and that both sexes are empowered within themselves, and I don't mean little kids shouting girl power and making me cringe like The Spice Girls when real girl power was the likes of Margaret Thatcher and Benazir Bhutto.

    Sadly, like most things, you have to wade through the poop, to find the good.

    It's just a shame i'm still wading throught the poop :o

    Hi miro 042.gif

    How are things?

    Xx

    Hi Meyore :wave:

    Same old, same old, you know how it is.

    Went shopping today and yesterday and a few women I came across were being as shallow as per usual.

    I say women, but they are girls really, I forget how old I am sometimes :rotfl: although the worst ones tend to be women who once had it but have now lost it and they think they still have it :rotfl:

    No idea how I get through the days, decent women around my age and under are hard to find :confused:

    When does your partner get in? Tonight or do you have to wait until the weekend?

    I assure you I'm not evil either, but I do understand exactly where you're coming from. In a way, men are much simpler creatures than women-they say what they mean etc. Women are weird, thats why I don't have many female friends.

    Boyfriend doesn't come home until the weekend, such a long time to wait! I hate the fact he has to be away all the time, but the army won't allow me to live with him till we're married. Oh well, that time is getting closer now.

    I don't think any females on this thread are bad. It sounds strange, but I don't see anyone on this thread as male/female, young/younger or anything else.

    What I find with women, is that women are friends with other women, until a man becomes involved that they both like, then it's all out for themselves. I do meet nice women, but they are usually in a relationship as they are so nice. I don't ever envisage being in another relationship - 1. Because I don't feel I will ever be good enough and feel unloveable and 2. I don't meet many I like - which is strange as i've always had better friendships with females than males. :o

    Weekend :o Silly army people :o What part of the army is he in? Is he like in the front line or does he do something a little 'safer' I personally don't believe in doing something unless I know what it is i'm 'fighting' for and i'm against war and violence, so you won't see me with join any armed forces, but that's another story.

    Is it true that the gardener picked you up thinking you were a gnome? ;):p

    Yes, flatmate had a good birthday thanks. She's not too difficult to please compared to most, which is a relief.

    Hmmm, I guess I see what you mean. When I met OH, I'd been hurt bad, he'd been hurt bad and we weren't looking for anything, but it happened anyway. I never thought I'd want to be with anyone again.

    He's a surveyor type, which is a "safe" job as they go. Theres only 3 of them in Irac and 20 in Afghanistan, so he's unlikely to end up going anywhere horrid. Both his mum and his dad were in the army(his dad still is), so I guess its something he was brought up believing in. I'm not the biggest fan, its not something I would ever want to do.
