Which is different than saying "I stand by my posts which stated “most women are expecting a full or partial subsidy” in their dating. Most women expect or require the man to pay more than half of dating expenses. Surely, you agree I am correct?"

What you should be saying is "most of the women I (D_Lion) date, expect/require the man to pay with no reciprocity"

See the difference?

And that, to me, is baggage.
Thanks. I had a late night last night and laundry to do today, I didn't feel like looking up those quotes at the moment...

though. "Price of entry" does spring to mind.

no I was out late last night and just got home. I was creating more future baggage.

I now am home and have lots of laundry to do (metaphor? no, I really do but maybe) and I'm tired, hungover and not in the mood to prove to you that you have baggage ....so I am glad that some of the other ladies have pointed it out. Now I can relax and think more about my personal life.

Is this really 15 pages of thread about whether or not D_Lion has baggage?

And D_Lion is still not convinced?

Well, D, if you didn't have any before, you just might have some now!

I would deeply mistrust anyone my age without 'baggage'. I'd think they just hadn't been joining in enough.

We are all of us, shaped by our experience. Anyone who claims that they have not been has not had enough stand out experiences.

The whole "baggage" thing gets farrrrrrrr too much attention and respect, to the point where it's basically become psycho-babble.

Basically, people are people. We all have strengths and flaws - and all the effort we spend trying to uncover these deep-seated, arcane things that will prove to be deep, dark problems that will de-rail any hope of normalcy, just deters us from seeing what people really are. It's almost like we hope they have so-called "baggage."

Good grief! Too good to be true? Come on! All we hear are complaints that there are no good people, and then when we find one, we choose to say they can't possibly be what they appear. A long-time friend of mine was just dumped because his SO of several months simply refused to believe he was what he appeared to be - and I can tell you - he is exactly what he appears to be. Her loss.

It's easy to get so enmeshed in "vetting" dating candidates that we forget to observe them as being just "who they are."

Now don't get upset. What color was it? Maybe we can help you find it.
