What do you want when you're looking for a prospective partner in crime?

[In_The_Wind]

Miss Honeychurch and I have gotten to know each other through cyber space so well that she can almost predict how I will react to most situations. She knows how to make me smile and what will push my buttons.


I think that's wonderful for friends but how well does it work for intimate relationships?


Feel free to discuss this among yourselves:

[Common Sense Party]

1. "Perspective"? Or "prospective"? n/t

[In_The_Wind]

7. Thank you.

A visit from the Grammer Polise is always beneficial before the edit time runs out.

:hi:

[wildhorses]

2. as long as the consistency is positive feedback...

well then give me more of that stuff, please



as for a partner in crime: I am looking for a good shotgun rider....

[In_The_Wind]

10. I like your answers!

:hi: :loveya:

[wildhorses]

14. and you can ride with me anytime

we could flat burn up some roads...
:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

3. The means to

post bail.

[xmas74]

4. Second.

If you plan on getting in trouble one of you should be able to bail both of you out of jail.

[crispini]

5. Someone who can drive fast and get away from the fuzz.

[In_The_Wind]

8. Oh My!

I think I'm a little more laid back than that!

:loveya:

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. "Work for Love?" I do NOT want a relationship with Al Jourgensen.

:o

To answer your question, I definitely seek a "partner in crime" in a relationship. And it's not that a relationship SHOULD be a challenge, just that it IS a challenge. People living together and putting up with each other is hard. There's plenty about the missus that drives me batshit crazy, and I know that sentiment is returned.

The trick is to find someone for whom the putting-up-with-it-all is WORTH IT.

17. I was reading an article while I was at the audiologist yesterday.

It was an in the Oprah Magazine. http://www.oprah.com/relationships/relationships_content.jhtml?contentId=con_200408_signs.xml There was a List of Red Flags which made me think a little about relationships because my ex raised a few of those little warnings (3, 9, 10) before we split.


Relationships do take work but as you pointed out ~ it's worth the effort when you're really in love.



:hi:

[jukes]

9. self-confidence

a willingness to explore, and the energy to drag me along.

EDIT: nice legs are a +!

[crispini]

11. Did I date you once?

Boy, that got old, always being the one to plan stuff. I felt like I was "Julie, Your Cruise Director" for the relationship.

[In_The_Wind]

13. Hmmm ___ Very interesting!

:loveya: BTW ~ Where have you been all my life?

[DrGonzoLives]

12. I really need someone who knows complex electronic alarm systems

I'm more of the smash-and-go type, but to get the big scores, you need to know this stuff.

Some goons would be good, too.

[crispini]

15. And a freeze ray!

A freeze ray would be cool.

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. Freeze rays are overrated.

Sure, they're safe and effective, utile from a distance, and such. But they lack the elegance of a good chloroforming.

18. Joanikick ~ cause y'all aren't voting ...

[Nikia]

19. I married for emotional security

I don't know if is really that way now, but that was my intention anyway.
I have anxiety and have always gotten overly emotionally excited over lots of stuff every day. I didn't go for a partner who would add more turmoil to my life or give me cause to feel that I had to become better to be worthy of him. I always did that enough to myself.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear Joani........

Well, if I were looking......

Passion is certainly important, as are having challenges!

I want someone I can respect....because respect is the basis of love.

He needs to be smart, too.

And he needs to have all these feelings for me, as well.....

My husband meets all these challenges and very well, too.....


:hi:

Interesting poll, IMHO!

[In_The_Wind]

22. Kudos Peggy!

You've found the secret to true happiness!


:loveya::pals:



I thought it would be a fun poll for Friday in the springtime when people tend to feel a bit more lust in their life.

[Porcupine]

21. Bilateral symmetry, female,liberal, understands bladed weapons.....

thinks guns are for wussies. Oh and she looks like this:



Librarians...yummm!!

[tjdee]

23. Wit. And cuteness, which is a state of mind more than a physicality.

And the raw ability to kick ass, although he never would. :silly:

[no name no slogan]

24. somebody who laughs at my retarded sense of humor

Somebody who loves me for who I AM, not for who they want to make me.
Somebody who can cry, but who would rather laugh.
And somebody who can engage my fetish for female undergarments :P

[In_The_Wind]

25. Do you have an older brother.

Who isn't married, engaged, living with someone or currently involved with a SO in any way?

[no name no slogan]

26. Sadly, I am an only child

God got smart and split my parents up after I was born :hide:

[In_The_Wind]

27. Then I'm glad you met one of my very best friends.

We'll have fun next weekend. I wish you could join us.

[no name no slogan]

28. wow, it's next weekend already?

you ladies MUST call me then! I am SO JEALOUS!

[In_The_Wind]

29. Time really passes quickly!

We'll be sure to call you. :loveya:

You'll be flying south very soon too.

[blue neen]

30. Someone I can feel equal to.

Equal in temperament, intelligence level, sense of humor, passion. Respect for each other's experiences in life is important. :)

[In_The_Wind]

31. I wish you the best of luck in finding all of that.

Everyone of the qualities you've mentioned are important. :hi:

[blue neen]

32. It does seem like I'm asking for a lot, huh?

I hope it's not all wishful thinking!

[Laelth]

33. I suppose I am atypical but ...

I want someone who's stable, reliable, even boring. I want a partner, in the legal sense of that word, one who sees our relationship as a joint venture. I want to be a "we" with another person and act with that person in the best interests of the "we" that we become.

I want to be available and able to meet my partner's needs, and I'd like my partner to be available and able to meet mine.

I do not want an emotional roller-coaster, and I don't want to work at the relationship. I want to work outside the relationship and relax within it.

-Laelth

[bridgit]

34. Other ~ please elaborate...

passion is good, "good"? what am i talking; passion is GREAT!! passion for a host of shared values i should add as well; honesty, intellectual honesty (drawing a distinction there), consistency = like the baby bear's bed, not too hot, not too cold. some will think that boring, but i've been dumped on all round the map, so for me, at this point in my life...the baby bear's bed is the way to go :hi:
