I went lookin' for sumthin' on the blog to support a post I have in mind and found this, from my very early blogging days (i.e., mid-2006):
I'm gonna save that other post I was thinkin' about for a day or two coz I'm feelin' the need to get outdoors and take advantage of this break in the weather while I still can. Beer Me!
Comment on the original post was pretty light given I had all of about three readers in the Early Days. The link is still good, so play along if'n ya wanna.

I call Bullshit. I find most of these quizzes quite fun and entertaining; this one is simply annoying. So why am I posting it? Just to see if others' reactions are similar to mine. For the record:My propensity for monogamy is pretty damned high… higher than most, I’d wager. The Second Mrs. Pennington and I were married for 20 years and were together for 23. I’d still be married if I had my druthers. And it wasn’t hard at all for me to “imagine being with one person at a time… Let alone for the rest of your (my) life.” I was extremely comfortable with monogamy; it was a natural state. And I’ve always been a serial-lover, that is: one at a time. Now the time may have been pretty short on occasion, but it was still “one at a time.” For what that’s worth.No quibbles with experience level. I made the most of life before marrying TSMP; I made extensive attempts at getting back in the game after her.No quibbles with the quiz’s take on my dominance, or lack of same. I do have issues with bondage, though.My cynicism is high. I am not an eternal optimist when it comes to romance. Au contraire, mon frêre. My glass isn’t half-empty, it’s Sahara-desert dry. With calcite rings. “Never bitter?” Oh, spare me, please. I won’t go down that road, but… (I’m sure you get my drift) I DO believe in the soul mate thingie. Unfortunately that wasn’t a mutually-shared perception. True love found, true love lost, game over.My independence level is high. Take my word for it.OK, two agreed areas, three areas in violent disagreement. Ergo, Bullshit. Your mileage may vary, of course. Let me know…

The choices are not very complete in order to make such emphatic statements. Some are far too vague.
ReplyDeleteMust have been made by some college idgit for a class they were too lazy to do real work on.
Heh.
That's the basic problem with all these quiz thingies, but some are better than others.
DeleteI could have stayed with my ex-Wife till death, do us part...
ReplyDeleteI let her live though, as I'm too accustomed to life outside the penitentiary now...
I had EXACTLY the same thought processes, but my focus was on the other man.
Delete"You see love as a gift that you should give to many."
ReplyDeleteI feel that way, but I am also very monogamous. I would LIKE to share my gift with lots of females, but I believe that when one takes a vow it is for keeps.
Concur, on all counts.
DeleteWhat ever. Just score with something biologically accommodating on Friday night so that you don't exude lackanookie/desperation hormones on Saturday night. Thusly, shall you acquire the hottie and find love.
ReplyDelete"Biologically accommodating" is pretty damned broad, Darryl.
DeleteHe-he; He said 'broad'.
DeleteLess than three ax handles a-beam or less. Ymmv. And biologically accommodating implies a natural bent.
Did the quiz thang. We must be related, I believe my results were nearly identical as yours.
ReplyDeleteConcur with Old Goat 36.
Suldog also makes a good point. But the vow thing is hard to ignore.
We are related... Bros In Arms. ;-)
DeletePropensity for Monogamy:

Not too bad, actually.
We're pretty much the same, except for the monogamy bits... which I addressed.
