I had always known this intellectually but it clicked on a very deep emotional level and hit me like a sledgehammer. Seriously, when has begging for love or a relationship ever worked? It is very unattractive behaviour and erodes your own power and self respect. You don't have to beg someone to treat you well or respect you either. Words I live by. Just sharing... Can't keep a good woman down

Never had to beg for it, though, because I have never been homeless and unemployed for a very, very long time. What the heck? Who begs for dessert? I'd just get off my butt and go buy my own dessert before I begged for it. M-47,W-40,No kids D-filed 5/27/2010 Piecing - 10/21/2010 -=Soon to be banned=-
