fieldgrade;n64759 said:Regarding potential marital relationships, I think one thing young couples contemplating marriage don't realize is that very often this person who they feel is their soulmate actually thinks very differently than they do on a day to day basis.
I mean, just the way they view the world, and daily decisions. It may seem like they think just like you, and have all the same values, but I think that while many members of the opposite sex may have identical values to ours, they arrive at those mental destinations in a very different fashion.
I was a bachelor till I was 34. Over the years my little black book became quite the repository of names and phone numbers that represented relationships that simply were not to be.
That said, keep this in mind. As a general rule, men are often very compartmental in their thinking. Picture PO Boxes at the post office, or cubby holes in and old desk, whereas women tend to be very global in their thinking about life and everyday events.
Stretch your arms out wide, and draw a big circle in the air. This is the "globe" within which women think, and only God and the woman knows what's in there.
Climberman;n64818 said:This is 100% correct. A man's mind is like a room full of boxes. Each box has it's own contents and we deal with each box one at a time. A woman's mind is like a big ball of copper wire. When you activate one part of it, the whole thing will light up and if you aren't careful, it will shock the hell out of you.

At 27, I guess I am the outlier
fieldgrade;n64864 said:There's more here your age than you think. Probably a good percentage are still single and haven't posted in this thread. I have a bunch of friends here in their late 20's, which is about as far as my level of maturity ever advanced 30+ years ago.
NKD;n64911 said:Never been married. Been committed to my girlfriend for 12 years now. After 8 she wanted to come back home to NC for school and a career change. I decided I was sick of the politics and ratrace of my beloved California was lost and I wanted a change.
So we came here. She's an incredible human being and better than I deserve by a long shot. She makes me a better man, and this move was the best thing I could have ever happened to me. So I am very thankful and very very happy.
