Sorry, I meant to respond to this statement too. That does seem very ridiculous to me too. I've never wanted any of those specific things, but maybe that's just a superficial difference. I also don't believe in soul mates. I believe in understanding and bonding. I know people think I'm just looking for excitement, and I am looking for excitement, but in combination with some kind of real understanding and connection. When I dare to fantasize about what I want, I imagine myself with a creative, artistic woman who really understands how my mind and emotions work. I think about silly **** like reading poetry together, or talking about philosophy, or playing music together. I also imagine being with someone who approaches physical love the same way I do. That would be a nice little bonus. I never think about being young again. I'm not trying to relive a missed youth. I just want some understanding and passion. When I talk about stimulation, these are the things I mean; intellectual and emotional stimulation. I want to keep growing.
