Do you need a man in your life?
This is the result from a quiz that I took online today...
You don't feel you need one man, but you sure like men.
You love your girlfriends and they fulfill a real down-and-dirty, let-it-all-hang-out, wise-woman function in your life. However, you certainly appreciate men, and you understand that they have a different energy than women, an energy you'd like in your life.
You're charmed by the way guys drink beer from a bottle, wear 25-year-old paint-stained khakis, and talk about hockey as though it were important. You understand that you can have all this in your life without romance.
But sometimes you worry that you ought to settle down, and you're a little afraid of growing old alone. Are you afraid to get involved because you've been burned before? Are you overly picky, still looking for Mr. Perfect? Do you fret that you'll eventually need someone to push your wheelchair?
At midlife, "Sometimes women think that love has to be 125 percent or really, really good," says psychotherapist Marjorie Hansen Shaevitz, author of The Confident Woman: How to Take Charge and Recharge Your Life (Three Rivers Press, 2001). "But the great thing about romance at midlife is that 80 percent is all right, if that's enough commitment for you. If your parents would disapprove of him, if he's from the wrong socioeconomic group, if he's not somebody you'd have kids with, if he won't get married or if you don't want to -- none of that matters. Enjoying the time you spend with him counts most. The enjoying part can be irrespective of age or profession, or any of the stereotypes of what a 'right' kind of man might be."
This is kinda true...wait, it is VERY true about me. I'm happy with what my girlfriends offer. And I'm also very happy with what my guyfriends offer, too. They offer very differen things. But at times, I feel that I want to settle down with the right person.
Am I afraid to get involved because of past bad experiences?--yes, kinda.
Am I too picky? --yeah, kinda.
