WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS.....


Quoting Jiminy Cricket from Twilight Spirit's blog asking if men and women can be friends without a sexual relationship.......

"The issue is whether or not the man can have a non-sexual (if not in action then in thought) relationship with a woman.

Men in a non-sexual relationship aren't very thoughtful, caring and considerate. You may think that because of their their attitude towards women...but men aren't even thoughtful, caring or considerate to other men.

Most women don't want to be treated like a man treats other men."

Yes.. My observation did not preclude that women can not be like men.

Sparkles title of this blog....WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

Is suppose to give a solution... but in fact it identifies the problem.

WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS... but as Human being we almost all agree we are not all human being.. our differences far outweigh our commonality..

of course, I believe that is not true.. Whether it be race or gender.

Women are more like men .. than men are like rocks!

You assume that the title of this blog "is suppose to give a solution".......That is a mistaken assumption.......You state that men are only thoughtful caring and considerate to people whom they have a sexual relationship with...........That assumes that all male relationships are transactional......That is very revealing of your own relationships, but it's not true in any general sense......Being thoughtful caring and considerate stems from empathy and steers our relationships with other Humans and animals as well.........

Where does fatherhood factor in your statement that men are only thoughtful, caring and considerate in sexual relationships....?

I didn't say that.. but in a way it's true.. You think, I am saying, men are kind and considerate because it's a sexual relationship. But the part that all male relationships are transactional is not true . The truth is I believe a sexual relationship from men is at times transactional. But it's not about having sex.. It's about getting sex. It's not about the money that's already put into his bank... It's about his credit line.

Men can easily have an unkind sexual relationship.. when he's already milked the cow! LOL

"You assume that the title of this blog "is suppose to give a solution".......That is a mistaken assumption....."

You grasp on partial thought and no matter what is said afterward doesn't matter..

the statement and the inferred solution. is that We Are All Human beings treating it as such would solve the problem..

I don't disagree..

Except life and times have shown it's just not possible. It's just a fantasy solution. You talk it... but don't walk it. In a million way when "ugliness" rears its head

It all comes down to trust. I have friends that r male and female. Some men I trust more than my female ones. And visa versa. I know one who is a husband stealer. Who used to be my best friend. Most of my male friends r married. So it doesn't really matter the sex part.

No.....I don't infer a solution, that's your inference.......The title is meant as a starting point......You have bought into the pop-culture stereotypes, of glamour-authors like John Gray and his men are from Mars, Women are from Venus........That's what my title was referencing.......I was trying to get the thinking back to us all being on the same planet........A starting point, not a solution........I was actually defending all the really decent, trustworthy, kind, generous men, compassionate men I have in my life......
