Love Today.......

What is the definition of love? Is it different today than 50 years ago? Has the meaning changed? Does it still exist? If so, define it.

According to today's dictionary, love has several definitions.

1.a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
Does this translate into an elderly couple who has been married for 50+years?

2.a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

Does this translate into a BFF?

3.sexual passion or desire.

Is this what results from real love?

4.a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.

Does this mean the friendly male co-worker?

5.(used in direct address as a term of endearment, affection, or the like): Would you like to see a movie, love?

Southern women use this type of love (term of endearment) at the end of every sentence. It's just what we do sweetie.

6.a love affair; an intensely amorous incident; amour.

Does this mean the guy you are involved with has a girlfriend or wife?

7.sexual intercourse; copulation.

This says to me booty call..Can you love a booty call?

So, from all the possible definitions of love, where do single women fit in? and How do we know if we've found it, passed it up, had it, lost it, or ignored it?

We don't know until we look back on all the past "loves" and see that one that just can't be replaced. No matter what or how hard we try. So, we carry it. We carry it into the next relationship, the next booty call, the next date, just hoping, hoping for that one minute to forget the one that got away with our heart.

The 40 something single woman.

What is it that a woman 40 years old, 2nd divorce, no children, concentrating on a career, and college degree want from a man? It’s quite simple. At this point, we have already discovered we don’t need a man. Why would a man want to be needed? What is so wrong with being wanted? Wouldn’t it be nice to think,”she wants me because she enjoys my company?”

Wouldn’t it be nice to not think about what we want for a gift? We can go out and get exactly what we want, when we want it. We don’t have to bitch about the size, the color, the style?

Here’s a secret men, we want to be wanted, not needed. Those of us who don’t have children, don’t have them for a reason. Don’t want them. Don’t know what in the hell to do with them. Definitely don’t want to raise them. Please, they need to be teens on their way out.

Wouldn’t both sexes like to lay their head down at night with someone that simply loves them? Doesn’t need something, doesn’t need the bills paid, breakfast cooked, clothes washed. Just simply wanted?
