well Brian, its an answer and i see the humor in it lol, yeah, you are right in a lot of ways about men and women being different... please dont think i have no humor, its just that you are better at telling jokes than me and im glad you added something to the thread...

i think you are saying that we are different in fundamental ways and that is true, but we are the same in many ways too, right?

its the differences that make it hard but i cant live with shutting myself out completely... last night i was thinking about this and i think what our anonymous poster is really doing is carrying the torch of love and doing what she can to make it real for herself and another.. i will thank goodness for the thought of it...

one thing i think is important for me to remember is that the level of commitment is what determines the amount of hassles we are willing to go thru and to make love work, full commitment (not in an asylum hopefully) is required...

Best always Brian
