Thank you Odds 
That is exactly what I was getting at. I'm glad you understand; I'm seething a bit less now...

Well there we go. That's a good imponderable then. Something about the honesty and openness. Is there something about your SO that would make you feel like you couldn't be honest and open with them? I can't see ever acting that way with a SO. I'd rather end up broken up then to lie to them. Heck its happened to me. Still feels much better than trying to be someone I'm not.

Hey, as long as we stay away from the religion in here, all will be well. There are plenty of threads in here dealing with that issue...I know we ae playing nice, and nothing is going too far, but every time religion or politics are brought up, things get a little tense in here.
On that note, I do think honesty and openness in a relationship are very important. I would hate to feel like I had to really hide something from my SO...I agree with Zeek; I'd rather break up than lie.

inclined to agree that honesty and openness would be the way to go, and, if for whatever reason they aren't a possibility, it might be better to part ways.
another imponderable of sorts, to do with music. Now, there's a lot of music out there that adds a swagger to my walk, if i hear it while i'm headed down the street, a LOT of muddy waters has that effecton me, and i've never known a man alive who could stop himself swaggering if 'little green bag' plays somewhere. hell if it plays in a pub and they're all sitting down you can see the knees spread, every bloke there trying to swagger without moving, i do it myself, can't stop me if i try.
But i've never know a woman who was affected in the same way. anyone got any idea what's at base of this?

Uh-oh, I must be a man.
There's music out there that I just HAVE to move to. Sometimes just as slight as a toe tap or head bob, sometimes as overt as boppin' down the sidewalk. The worst for me is swing music. Weddings become killer because just about everyone plays swing during the cocktail hour and meal time. I am just itching to dance to it, but out of respect, I don't. Then it's time to dance, and even if there is a man around who knows how to lindy, they've changed the music to hip-hop, top 40, whatever. Ah, the injustice of it all.

An idea on the base of your pondering? Oh yeah. Music effects the mind, body and soul. I have the same effects from Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Johnny Cash, Gary Allan, Chris LeDoux,Offspring, Sublime, Jimi Hendrix, etc., etc., etc. Something about the beats and rhythm and how they dwell within our being. We are essentially creatures dominated by timing. And since we are still relatively new to the earth we are easily influenced by our surroundings.
Strange that you have not met a woman who suffers from the same affliction. Most of the women I know or have known are inclined to dance, sing, hum, or "other" in the presence of certain music. Just wondering why the women in your culture appear less inclined to do so.

Maybe they don't swagger, but really what would that look like on a woman anyway? I think a lot of times women get the urge to dance when certain songs play. That really doesn't transfer over to men in my experience. I've never known a guy to just break out into dance because he just had to let it out. At best I get the urge to tap my foot and bop my head a bit.

Bah, unless it's really good countrywestern or showtunes, me and music dont tend to mix. (Though pre-show, when they're musicals, always good to have a dressing room of 30 people singing seasons of love.)
As for the Christianity thing, I gotta agree with Rose, that if it is guarunteed to be an issue of contention, it's probably asking for trouble to date a Christian. On the other hand, the guy might understand or somesuch, but... well it does save you a lot of trouble.
Happy birthday to the warrior woman! And dont forget...
