Krip 2 #26 December 23, 2012 Quote Quote So when's the wedding "But I know I can change him!" Beat me to it. Some folks have to kiss some toads before they find a princess/prince. like a card game, they have to play the odds. Some of us are just lucky and get a winning hand, first hand first game.

skyjumpenfool 2 #27 December 23, 2012 Quote Quote The best poker players I've seen are unpredictable. To the BF, you're unpredictable and it's pissing him off. That is, and will always be, your edge. That's not an edge. She already admitted to playing nearly every hand and that she consistently loses poker tournaments. Yep!!! Just keep telling yourself that. I love taking your money. Nat - Boyfriend had two possible responses here... 1. "You got lucky. You played like shit and still won. I'll get you next time. 2. You won!!! Good for you!!! I'm so proud of you!!!

Some of us are lucky enough to choose wisely (an oxymoronic statement, if ever there was one ) Some are smart enough to know you get what you accept, and that won't ever change into something you want it to be, just for wanting. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are absolutely right. The only thing V changed about me was asking me to get rid of the motorcycles. I'm still jumping, right?But I've seen some women that view men as "fixer-uppers".

BillyVance 35 #34 December 26, 2012 He doesn't like being shown up by his girlfriend. Cut him loose. Funny, I keep thinking of that chips commercial where the girlfriend comes in on a guys game and gradually changes from an innocuous newbie into a seasoned pro complete with black leather jacket and shades, and calls the "all-in" with "ba-zing", and the guys look sullen.

Nataly 38 #38 December 29, 2012 Quote But I've seen some women that view men as "fixer-uppers". I've never met a woman who seemed to actually think they could "improve" their man... I *have* met a lot of women who second-guessed themselves and kept thinking *they* were being intolerent, and actually the thing(s) they can't stand about their man is not as bad as all the wonderful things about him... I've certainly seen this in abusive relationships, where women think "but aside from his anger issues, he is all the things I want in a partner"... It's not black and white... Certainly, I constantly go back to all the things I love about him, and I freely admit that this line of reasoning often means I am tolerent of things I should not let pass... But then again, I can also be a massive pain in the ass, so if he is also being tolerent, at what point are you no longer making "normal" compromises and suddenly being a "doormat"? Where do you draw this invisible line?? Personally, I struggle with this. My boyfriend is AMAZING, but some aspects of his personality *really* bother me. Are they deal-breakers?? I don't know. Can he change them? Not likely. Anyway, changing those aspects of his character would imply the loss of some of his great traits as well, and some new and different things I wouldn't like...
