MikeB, I'm not arguing the fact that we can and do become better people when we have a loving, safe, nurturing environment to grow and develop in.  However I think the big mistake is thinking that we have any control over that development in another human being.

The only thing I truly have any control or say in is ME.  If I find myself with a man who is loving, and accepting of who I am, and I feel loved and cherished, then I will grow in my charecter and emotions and spirit.  This is not HIM bringing out the change in me, it is ME feeling a safe environment to go there.

Do you read me?

  There's a huge difference between helping someone realize their potential and trying to mold someone into what you want in a partner. We are talking about two completely different things IMO. One is selfless, the other selfish.

Men want Mary Ann??  I thought they all wanted Ginger!

Geez.  I want MacGyver.  ::)

Mary Ann was wholesome, though a bit risque (for her time, wow those tight little shorts went all the way up, you know).  Ginger was Hollywood glamor, not necessarily sluttiness (why do people think that, she was pretty darned proper and refused to sleep with her co-stars actually).

Me, I want Mary Ann with Ginger's natural sexiness combined with Mrs. Howell's money.  Woot!  :)

Just gotta say that this quote is the funniest thing I've read on here in a while.  Thank you, Jillie, for making me spit my Gatorade out.

As for the rest of this, I'm not gonna comment because I will only provoke a heated debate/argument that I don't have the time and/or energy and/or sanity to deal with.  But a lot of you already know what i think...
