: : ***Manipulation is a relative term that many make negative connnotations
: : with. This need not be the case. Here you compare it to dishonesty, whereas the two are nowhere near the same.
: : Life is manipulation in one form or another. Of objects, people, etc. Or, interaction for you who have negative associations with the word manipulate.

: : : To manipulate a screwdriver is one thing (manipulate being near synonymous with use). To use the word manipulate in regard to a person implies usage in my opinion. I prefer to INTERACT.

: : ***Manipulate: to manage or influence by artful skill.

: : This IS a component of the mating dance. And crucial in the first week.

: : After that you can talk about values and all that shit...

: I prefer not to manage or influence. A poor mating strategy maybe, but it is how I am :)

***Well everyone is "who they are". Unique unto themselves.

My story is I am 31 and getting married. Looking for a house to buy.

I dated a few women, not a whole lot, but a few. I always learned from failed relationships and it was not at all that easy.
When I finally met Aimee it was as though we had known each other forever.
We were both ready for marriage, although fine tuning the small stuff and getting used to it all has been a challenge. I am definetly the strategist and she the heart. She keeps me honest and I keep her moving.

I can honestly say to not have her in my life would be death.
