Sure. By loving, keep in mind that I am not talking here about "romantic" love, although there is a bit of the gee whiz feeling of a beginning. Men can be just as daffy as women can. One gets the nonsense of one week, I can't let you out of my sight; the next, I seem to have lost your phone number--but where were you last night? Of course, it's O.K. that you are seeing other people, we're not "serious." So I telephone and ICQ you when you've told me you have a dinner guest. And play guessing games to figure out who it might be. Or, as one man did to me years ago, show up (as though he, himself, hadn't been seeing someone else at the time)! Talk about possessive! And this isn't even marriage! Not even the midst of a long-term affair! Oh, yes, men can be just as goofy! Maybe it's a hormonal thing that happens to people, like the aforementioned Krazy Glue. Maybe you haven't encountered women with my perspective very often. I've never looked to a man for a meal ticket and never will. That's not what they are for! So I get to see all the same idiocy on the part of men that you see in women. I also have a couple of "friends" of years who have sense. We love each other deeply, recognize that we can't build a life together--at least, that it wouldn't work well now--yet cherish each other and give intense emotional and moral support. No games. Would that we all had so much sense all the time! I'll be on the lookout for any real classics for you. Meanwhile, here is one that arrived in my e-mail: A young couple just married, were in their honeymoon suite on their wedding night. As they undressed for bed, the husband, who was a big burly man, tossed his pants to his bride and said, “Here put these on.” She put them on and the waist was twice the size of her body. “I can't wear your pants,” she said. “That's right”, said the husband, “and don't you forget it. I'm the one who wears the pants in this family!” With that she flipped him her red lacy panties and said, “Try these on.” He tried them on and found he could only get them on as far as his kneecaps. He said, “Hell, I can't get into your panties!” She said, “That's right, and that's the way it is going to be until your attitude changes!” Regards!
