ok.. I get the whole sex answer. I really, really do.
but if I already have access to sex, how did I get into a pissy mood?

He didn't do what he said he would do which in turns makes more work for you.

He flaked out of a family dinner to work on _______ and you come home after dragging all the kids with you and _____ has not been touched.

He tells you he doesn't trust you with friends in vegas but goes to vegas for work, with his co-workers.

All hypothetical of course. :cool:
 
don't ever have sex with a man who tells you that he doesn't trust you

He says I send out the wrong signals, that people tend to mistake my friendliness for something more. :eek: He doesn't think we could keep ourselves safe. I think we'd be fine.
 
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

What? Why are you looking at me that way? Guitar players don't like Neil Diamond? :p

Lol it just so happens that I absolutely love Neil Diamond. ;) You just won some points, lady :p
 
I went to a Neil Diamond show a few years ago. I'll just say that seeing a 70-something-year-old man in a sequin shirt singing "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" to a crowd of swooning females was one of the best concert experiences of my life. :heart:

That is so completely awesome! Neil is all that and a bag of chips.

Haha! You know, one look at a YouTube video of his sexy self and you wouldn't be saying that! Neil is "da man" even at the beautiful age of (wait a sec...I have to Google)

.....75!!!

He's 75 and he's still got it!

I remember in the 80s when he started touring again, a guy traded his brand new mustang for a pair of front row tickets. I just sat on the second level and enjoyed the show from a distance :)
 
Neil Diamond still has it indeed. His last album is pretty great too. I'd love to see him live when he comes to town next.

This man could very well have been my father.

I'm not serious, but he's close to being that big of a fan. The apple doesn't fall from the tree. I grew up in a house filled with Neil Diamond albums.

Me too. I don't listen to his new stuff. I'm definitely stuck on the old that I grew up on. I mean, there is no greater feeling than listening to Sweet Caroline on full blast. And to see him sing it live? Oh yeah!

Hey, now there's a mood brighter, speaking of!
 
Discovery. Sometimes the act of discovery is better than the actual discovery itself. Maybe you had no intention of discovery and yet there it is, present in all its glory. Sometimes it's there for your immediate enjoyment other times patience might be required. There are times when I'm incredibly patient and times when I'm not. Tempering the two has always been a struggle. When you discover something pleasure able tha reunites patience how do you cope? How do you control the need for instant gratification?

What are you trying to be patient for;)

I think of times like these as moments for focus. ...
 
If it's something to be acquired in the outside world because of want or need, I do not enjoy the process of discovery whatsoever, or of actively seeking out that which is desired or needed. If it is just out of sheer curiosity, then I love that. I am much more excited by the discovery itself, and even more so when it has come to me through happenstance or serendipity, or even through someone else's searching and discovery, as in "look what I found today!" Or an "if you like it then I will like it" type of scenario.

I don't relate to having to temper a need for instant gratification with patience much. Maybe this is indicative of a lack of motivation or ambition, even complacency on my part. I would like much more to know that it's because I'm just happy with what I have.

If it's something that I want, or something that I want to happen, I just accept it for what it is; either it's for me or it's not for me. I just don't want much in life. Sure, I have felt disappointment in not getting something. I feel I'm much more prone to that than to having to temper the urge for gratification by making sure that I do get something. I struggle more with the lack of certainty in most cases than a when, where, or how issue, and again, that's just something I have to learn to accept.

I don't know that I've understood the question or answered very clearly.
 
I’m not sure I fully understand the question, either, but here goes.

I am not patient by nature. With people I can be incredibly impatient. I like situations to be handled promptly, efficiently, no shilly-shallying about.

Situations, on the other hand. I can be very patient to attain a goal or desire, years if necessary. My memory and focus run long.

Instant gratification can be tricky. Sure, I like it. But the gratification needs to be right. As in, you crave decadent, triple chocolate brownies but none are available, so you grab a candy bar instead. Meh. I’d rather wait for what I truly want and revel in it’s luscious, gooey, self-indulgent perfection.

Sex. Sex is rather like chocolate. The anticipation, followed by lust-filled, mind-freeing physical and mental release. Rawr. :catroar:

But if the partner or the sex or the situation aren’t quite right….

………

Now I want brownies. :cattail:
 
I'm a slow burn kind of guy. Instant gratification definitely has it's place - but for, anticipation makes the gratification all that much more gratifying. I love the process of discovery (whether it's sexual or not).

(It also probably loops back into a general world-view of mine, which is that slow, steady, constant is what wins any race.)
