Do you fret and fuss over things, or are you laid-back in your approach to the twists and turns in the road of life?

Do you think it's more valuable to have a partner who is similar to or different from you in that regard?

I want a woman who tears her hair out every night completely consumed by the fears and concerns that she has no hope of ever affecting in any way whatsoever.

We would be perfectly compatible.

My motto is not to worry about something until I'm sure that it's absolutely necessary. That saves me a lot of angst...lol. Being with someone who worried all the time would drive me nuts.

I'm not a worrier until it comes to dating, then I just feel clueless.

Unfortunately I've always been a worrier . A bad habit I think I learned from my dad! Although I know it's stupid and futile, I can't seem to help myself. As far as a future partner, I definitely need someone who is more laid back to provide a calming effect. If I am around a nervous person, it makes me nervous!

I'm laid back and casual, tend not to worry on much. I don't think it would be good to have someone *just* like me, and certainly not good to have someone who worried constantly - that would grate me, and I'm sure I'd grate on him.

Someone closer to casual than worrier would be good, but a little bit of a worrier I can deal with. My casualness tends to rub off on people easily, and it might give me something to poke fun of.

I don't have a lot of time to worry and prefer to have a partner who is similar to me in this regard. Differences in other areas can usually be worked around, but I can't stand people who worry day and night about a hundred different things.

This reminds me of my great grandmother. She was almost 102 when she passed away. My dad told her once that he'd never seen her sick as long as he could remember. She looked sternly at him and said "I've never had time to be sick." My next door neighbor turned 101 in July and she's told me the same thing. When I was studying Office Administration 12 years ago, one of my instructors had these characteristics too. If the building had ever been set on fire, she was the type of person who could remain calm when the whole building was burning down.

Worrying just causes sickness and the only time you ever start worrying is if you have too much time on your hands.

Why worry about it today if I can put it off 'till tomorrow?
