Contradiction

She'll never reel me in, my friend, unless she has the right bait. Fuck... she's gonna reel me in, isn't she? I hope it's not maggots! Nice poem. Love your observations. ;-)

She will and it won't matter whether you inform her from the start that you mean to keep certain attributes, or not, her conflicting needs will surface.
Just look at me, been wearing a skirt and panties for years now, heh.

Seriously though, it is a balancing game and a guy has to keep in mind that his woman won't always understand what she needs most, nature will fuck with her and through her, him.  No fear though, love, understanding and dedication will find that balance every relationship requires.

Before i get set upon by some rabid feminist, i will add that guys are also faulty by design.

This is indeed a deep delve or examination into love's wider spectrum & what it can throw up, i.e, the ability to accommodate each other's needs. I didn't even notice the straying into 'feminist' grounds until you stated so & rebalanced the books, lol.

I'm not entirely sure we should label faults as faults because in love, I thought fault didn't exist! 😆

Yeah, perhaps that disclaimer at the end wasn't needed, we are all grown ups here, heh.

Sure fault exists in love, just ask my wife. :-)  Actually we acknowledge each other's occasional shortcomings and try to improve as we go.

Yes, truth to power. Hugs and peace, Oral

Hugs and peace

Such an interesting observation for marriage destruction.

Thank you.  A relationship is sort of like walking a tightrope, I have come to acknowledge, balance being everything.

It's give and take
For goodness sake
Don't strip although you can
Keep the lover, that you met
Don't give up marriage or the man

That's the plan
