PERFECT MAN

“uh-ohhh, linking failure!

sigh

try again! ”

“Hmm... usually I find men are willing to say their perfect woman as to look good. Women usually say looks aren't important; however, when a woman is actually lookingfor that person, looks are very important. Woman just don't want to admit that they are as shallow as us men are.

And I should know.. I've been passed up many of times because of looks. :-)”

“The men sure have it easy. All we need for the perfect woman is a little silicon and a thong.”

“bacpac, so I could send you a tube of silicon and one of my thong slippers and you'd be happy? :{}”

“... just as long as you were wearing the slipper.”

“Yes? I'm here.”

“lipstick, if you're sending things over, can I have some NikWax? I need to treat my jacket.”

“Dammit. Ruined a perfectly good ego-deflating thread by talking about gear.”

“bacpac, aawww, you're very sweet.

tommy, I have wax if you come get it while naked :{}”

“MEL!
after reading this I shared your remark with SARBOy over a chat that we have going while he is at work...here is what he says...and yes I am too lazy to change who is posting this!
Trailartist

Mark says:
I was thinking you should correct her that he's got four legs and is covered with hair and carries her gear and beer throughout the sierras.”

“I have the perfect,(for me) man. And it truly was a miracle that we ended up together.

I think if I were still looking I'd look for,(in this order): A great friend, a man who makes me laugh, a loving man, someone who listens as well as he shares, a great kisser/hugger/hand holder, a tolerant and patient man, a considerate man, a man who fits me well. These are some of the qualities hyperpacker has that make him a perfect man,(in my book), or at least as close to perfect as a man can be!”

“Aw shucks!
Is he ugly or what?”

“D'oh! LH, if i didn't know you were otherwise involved, I'd...

Nah, never mind. You're out of my league, and my motorcycle is broken.”

“tommy, well, to tell you the truth, if you showed up at my door naked, I'd be in a lot of trouble, but it was an interesting thought :{}

Don't ever think less of yourself. If you think that maybe you are not perfect, I'm defintely not perfect either :{}”

“Er, I meant with the wax...I've never been able to get that whole hot-candle-wax-and-ice-cubes thing quite right. But more power to ya if you've got it perfected!

But thanks for the boost! If I'm not perfect, I'm certainly the bomb-diggity.
IMHO.”

“The prefect man gives LOTS of good belly scratches and does not get reeeel reeeel mad if you pee on his dritty cloths before you lern how to don't pee until you go outside and plays runnin games and gimme dat and gives you food evertime he eats and gives you yer own food too and takes you for rides in the truk and talks perty to you and keeps good tastin water in your bole and makes you yer own perty leetle hous.”

“I've always gotten by on liking the outdoors, backpacking, oh . . .and that I can touch my nose with my tongue.”

“One's peronal choices of looks aside....

Any fool(used loosely) that will endeavor to persevere with your sh!t thru thick and thin.
...would be accepting of your quirks, foibles, idiosyncrasies and would see the beauty(again used loosely) underneath and embrace and feed your spiritual fire. BLAH BLAH BLAH.”

“Yes,,...what briar rabbit says about feeding the spiritual fire and all those unconditional, non-possessive type behaviors......those are good traits.... likes to dance and sway to the music, sleep outside, makes celebrations out of the mundane, the smile on his heart should show on his face.... enchanted and enchanting would round him out .........

geez, this thread is beginning to make me feel like singing "Someday my prince will come" from Sleeping Beauty .......or was that Snow White?...........”

“tommy, oops, sorry for misunderstanding. Hot wax & a candle?? You're way ahead of me :{}

What kind of bike do you have?”

“Hunky guys are always too impressed with themselves.
I prefer the guys that are always less than perfect looking.
And Larry loves me, but I find it difficult to find llama love in my heart.
Maybe it's because his front teeth stick out so far.
He looks like a tall beaver.
No, I am a SHORT beaver.”

“So question of the year are all the good ones taken????
Did some idiot woman out there throw a good one back an maybe I could have him??”

“it gets to the best of you and you feel your heart breakin`
to know there are good ones out there, but they`re already taken
but it`s not your fault there cb, don`t go and put the blame on you
it`s just that some are greedy and some girl must have got two”

“cb, I think there are still good ones out there. It doesn't seem so at times, because you have to weed through so many bad ones. Also, some married men don't do well on their first marriage & do get thrown back, but learn & lesson to take with them to a new relationship.

mel, lol. I'm sure you know this already. When you love an animal, you will never be disappointed.”

“I think my hands have got blisters from weeding LOL!!!!!!!!!!!”

“cb, I know what you mean. I have calouses :{}”

“Boy Lh we really left ourselves open for serious jokes on that one LOL!!!! if these guy's dont kill us it'll be just valentine goodwill!!!!!!!!”

“Happy Valentines Day LH and Princess.
((((xoxox)))))”

“I'm willing to trade in the one I have.”

“Me... a perfect man?

No. But I aspire to be. And though she has so far eluded me, I seek one whose smile and strength of spirit inspire me to an exercise in futility.

A Perfect Man?

Perfect for HER, perhaps, but only she will think so. I shall be perfect only because she is so forgiving.”

“cb I'm right here in Cali!!! Where were you when I lived in Houston?

LH--an old Kawasaki SR650. Backrest, luggage rack, highway pegs, and a blown head gasket :(”

“" I don't need the perfect man because I have God in my life. God, in his amazing ways, sees to it that all my needs are met. I pray that he'll bring me a soulmate whose company I'll enjoy until the day I die. "

Wow, Sunshine. I believe He'll honor what you just said. It's all a matter of faith. We live or die by it.

IMHO, the best of all men can climb a thousand peaks and hike a thousand miles, but at the feet of our Lord is the most high place.”

“cb, uh oh!

mel, I hope you mean you are trading in your husband and not Larry, lol. Since I have been gone from TT, I was wondering if your hubby was still around, but I didn't want to ask you personal questions.

Griz, thanks for wishing me a Happy Valentines Day. I wasn't familiar with your stocks and looked them up. I see you are tech heavy. I have CPQ and SUNW, also tech and on the Nasdaq.

tommy, I have a Yamaha Virago 550cc. If you are still in the entertainment business, I would stay off the bike. An injury could end your career.”

“Thank You Griz!!!!!!!!!”

“Can't find the "perfect man"? You need to kiss some more frogs!”

“Hey lee, it sure doesn't hurt a guy to have that! LOL! ;-P”

“Oh, he's still around.
Not a bad little person.
He just has the misfortune to be married to ME.”

“mel, You have a lot of men in your life...let's see, there's Larry and Bruce and goodness knows who else.

So this Larry guy's a bucktooth varmint, huh?

Short beaver, huh?
Low to the ground and hard to knock over?”

“Okay, let me hazard something here, I'm going to the highly new agey card perhaps....

A perfect person already realizes s/he is perfectly imperfect and doesn't wish for someone else to complete their own imperfectness.

(climbs down from Mount and puts brush of fire out)”

“Bonzai, mon cherie!!! Where you been? And are you saying you don't want me to complete you? (sniff)”

“Complements and concentrics are nice.....howdy neighbor!

(I've been waaaay deep in the hooplah lately. I came here to impart some heavy words and then lighten the hell up!)

Good to see all you perfectly imperfect peeps!!”

“who called for me?”

“Women don't really care about a sense of humor in a guy despite claims to the contrary. You don't see women trampling over Tom Cruise to get to Gilbert Gottfried, do you?”

“Beat it hyperpacker, I was here first.”

“The-Naviguesser, No you don't see that BUT, I'd trample over Tom Cruise to get any of the following comedians; Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, Michael Keeten and Jerry Seinfeld. Just to name a few. :o)”

“I should also note that there is a difference between having a sense of humor and making an a$$ of yourself.”

“I bet Cruise would be a better mountain humper than any of those other dudes.”

“Tom, You would be a good judge of men's humping abilities because ...? I never would have guessed.”

“Sunshine, If you backpack do you hump it, or just drag foot?”

“Sunshine glides with her backpack on. I've personally seen it; it's lovely to behold. Even when she has a three year old balanced upon her pack she's the epitome of grace!”
