Games like "Hide the Cucumber" and other similar pursuits. Hiking and camping and just doing stuff. But.......I'm just not in a position to WANT that so badly that I open myself up for another emotional clobbering. Previous to this, a long time ago, I was terribly smitten by women daily. I put them on a pedestal. So.....here's the enigma: When I desperately wanted an emotional and physical and domestic relationship, I got no respect. No good bites. But now that I'm emotionally unavailable for the most part, I've got groupies. Little Willie has to deliberately schedule time for rest. Go figure.

I learned that lesson long before I could have a bad marriage. I was the same, had a girlfriend in high school that I put on a pedestal and she treated me like $h!t. She cheats on me freshmen year of college. I say: "f*** it" and basically started being myself: a brutally honest @$$hole. I haven't had problems since. I think women basically decide early on whether the respect a guy or are going to use him. I made sure they respected me. Now I'm married and I have no regrets.
