Has anyone seen my sex drive?
It's not in the computer...

Not under the bed...

Nobody took it from me...

Oh, wait a mo', the Zoloft did it. Oops. Oh well!

Time to go back learning something useful that's otherwise outsourced to some backwards country that doesn't believe in human rights... (and I don't mean America)

3. I recently got...
My virginity back. It came with a nice certificate, suitable for framing. Whoop-de-doo.

5. I've got a good one.
Too bad it's been all I'm good for and not appreciated.

10. Oh stop.
I ain't buyin' that it has been all you are good for. Someone has just told you that and you bought into it. I have $5.00 that you have a laundry list of useful qualities and attributes as long as my arm.

If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.

On the other hand, how do you feel about 52 year old virgins? :D

17. I probably do, but...
Edited on Sun Aug-01-04 01:05 PM by SarahBelle
I've done this entire mathematical formula here as to the infinitesimal chance of me finding a decent relationship.
Take a population of single males:

95% will probably be too stupid given how most people are.
Of the remaining 5%, maybe 2% will have personalities (political, spiritual philosophies, sense of humor, etc.) that mesh with mine.
Of the remaining 2%, if I were lucky half would be physically attractive to me.
So now were at 1%.
Of the remaining 1%, I could eliminate 90% right off the bat because most men couldn't handle my having children, the busyness of my life, etc.

So now, we have 1/10 of % of the population of that I could be compatible with. The chances are slim. I rarely meet anyone I like. Rarely. My expectations of people are high sometimes, but no higher than I can give in return and have nothing to do with things that are shallow or materialistic. It involves matters of character.

However, physically, I'm attractive enough that I don't have a problem having people being interested in me, but it is generally for physical reasons alone, not because they see me for who I am (reasonably intelligent and funny, work hard, compassionate, and very vulnerable) or anything else. So, as it was when I was young and before I was married, I'll have to spend way too much time weeding through the jerks while the kind of men I would actually like are usually busy thinking "she wouldn't be interested in me anyway".

18. Eh
You were married before? I am married now, have been since I was a fetus, and both my hubby and I have said if anything happens to our marriage or the other person (God forbid) we wouldn't be in any slap happy hurry to even get in another relationship again.

That's not to be taken as a slam on our relationship, it's been freaking wonderful. True love and all that jazz. My best friend blahblahblah.

But you know, been there, done that. And plus we met when we were practically children, been together ever since. We're both basically VERY independent people, so we'd just hang out and have a load of fabulous friends and buy whatever the hell we wanted without having to justify said purchases, etc.

21. Married before?
Still am, but in the process of splitting and I've been thinking about the future, or what will very be going from one form of lonely drudgery to another. He loves me, but I was too young (19, pregnant, and no other supportive people) and didn't know myself when we were first together. I've been unhappy with him for a long time and he's a good person, but not the person for me. It was my fault for not realizing that or being honest about it many years ago.
You're a fortunate person that you were able to grow together and allow each other the individual freedom we all need.

22. Oh yeah
but it wasn't easy by a long shot. I was 19 when I met mine, too. And actually he was a bit emotionally abusive and VERY controlling but I mistook that for love and concern in my messed-up youth.

You are right, fortunately, we were both able to grow up and see the error of our ways. We've done a lot of counseling, screaming, breaking remotes and punching holes in doors (fortunately that hasn't happened in years!) and grew up. Now it's like "Damn, boy, I've been with your ass too damn long to even fight with you, whatever!" and he's the same way, LOL!

I'm afraid we're already like an old couple though, even though only in our 30s. Call each other momma and daddy. Kinda sad.

But hey best of luck to you, that could have EASILY been us, too.

I guess what I was saying in my post is being alone is underrated. There are certain things about it that rock for sure.

23. Sounds like us.
Except there's a big age difference (almost 10 years), so he should have been old enough to know better. I just went around numb for many years, not thinking about my needs, and emotionally separating. If we would have taken care of stuff years ago, there may have been a chance. We have tried recently, but after years of letting go in my head just to survive and function, those feelings can't seem to come back. I feel like a failure, but what else is new?

Well, life goes on right.

8. LOL. Mine's not detachable... besides, who would I give it to?
I don't trust anyone with it for starters. For another, it's not detachable. (had to say it twice.)
