Goodness me, I don't know how I found myself reading through the posts above, but there's so much cynicism there...! What on earth happened to the good old fashioned optimism?
Terri, I don't know what you've been through, but there's so much anger behind your words:
"Women like to be told anything with flowers, chocolates and diamonds (big ones). Then it doesn't really matter what you say - your gifts do all the talking necessary.
Men will listen to anything as long as the woman is naked, or wrapped in some fancy colourful undergarment wearing very high heels. "
Is this really how you see women? Is this how you see yourself? And if you think a man would only listen to you when you're naked then perhaps it may be because what you comes out of your mouth resembles the quotation above and hence requires another interesting element to catch someone's attention ;)
I won't even quote my other fav bit about the lack of freedom being the solution to all world's problems. I just hope you find more love for the world at some point as it's sad to read what you've written there.
The tone is so gloomy, no wonder the discussion is dying! Anyone cares to discuss something else?
