Women say they want a "GOOD" man...well what is technically considered "GOOD?"
Men say they want a "GOOD" woman...well what is technically considered "GOOD?"
........And by "good," are you implying that unless they fit YOUR personal definition, they shouldn't be considered "good?"
Women say they want a "REAL MAN."...well what is technically a "REAL MAN?" He's real if he's alive right? lol
Men say they want a "REAL WOMAN."...well what exactly constitutes as a "REAL WOMAN?" If she's got a pulse, she's real right?
.........And by "real" are you implying that unless they fit YOUR personal definition, they shouldn't be considered "real?"
The point of this post is to point out COMMON WORDS that get thrown around a lot & are so over-used that I don't think some people have even taken out the time to define or think about what they really mean!
It's almost like people use those phrases b/c it sounds like the right thing to say or because they hear others saying it
Has anyone other than me actually taken out the time to ask yourselves what these terms really mean, or are we just using them b/c it sounds good?
Meh, when someone utter those words I know they mean it "from their perspective". But yeah I agree that it usually leads to ambiguities and laziness when it comes to self discovery.
To answer your question, yes. I spend a lot of my time inside of my mind, so questions such as "what's good for me?" are bound to arise.
If I had to label someone as "good" I'd consider it to be someone who cares as much about his fellow human beings as he does about himself. Pretty high standard there, sure, but that's my measurement of "how good" one is. There are of course similar words for this, such as excellent, spectacular, and jerk. 😉
For "real" I may be going stereotypical, being scorp sun, but, that'd be someone who is truthful. You don't pretend to like something just because the partner you're aiming for likes it. That's a temporary thing and will fall apart eventually. But you can be truthful and "real" (and even "good") by saying you don't really like it, or you're even neutral with it, but you'll go along with it because being with that person makes the boring thing worthwhile. Example: watching sports, for the non-spectator-enthusiasts.
Food for thought: It takes someone who is "real" and honest with himself and who he is, who is comfortable with himself and keeping himself contented, to fuel the love that goes into being "good". When someone cares MORE about everyone else than he does himself, and is down on himself and uncomfortable in his own skin, he becomes low on energy and needs constant reassurance. This is the opposite of being full of oneself and uncaring of others. Neither extreme is healthy. This one, for me, is easier to deal with than the other end of the spectrum. But less patient sorts might admire the other end moreso than this one. The best combination, then, which we should all aim for for ourselves (and then we would attract this!), is to love oneself and take care of oneself while not taking advantage of others, and then with full energy and contented thoughts, love and care for others just as much.
My definition of "real" is actually simple: Someone who speaks truth. When you know better, you naturally do better.
If someone is genuine in all they do, whether it's good or bad, I consider that "real."
One of my good friends is the biggest player ever! BUT he's honest about it. Although others don't approve of his life style , he's honest & up front about it & he owns who he is. He doesn't lead women on, he tells them up front that there will be many others & surprisingly, there's always women lined up for him. Now THAT's "real."
The truth may hurt, be unfair or be hard to admit, BUT those who acknowledge, accept & speak the truth are whom I consider "Real."
People who do bad things can still be real, no different than good people.
