I agree with this in the sense of the mind being a powerful sexual organ, and for me, it all starts in my brain.

Words chosen carefully, inuendo, intrigue. Deep conversations, idea's and opinions discussed. To me, all important stuff.

Physical attraction can be just that, superficial and shallow.

I would rather be someone's friend first with stuff to talk about, then to jump into some relationship with a person who doesn't tweek my mind.

What I would NOT do is, let the talking get too racy, because eventually if people choose to meet, and the physical connection isn't there, well, it's just disappointing and embarrasing!!!

Now as for the bad manners...I also agree with the changing of the times....but how do we get manners back? Or do we just suck it up and become those old geezers who complain about the "good ole days", when people would say please and thank you, and I don't want to see you anymore, to your face!!!!

A text or relationship status change is so nice and tidy and drama free.

Blah blah blah, go ahead, dump me by text, show me what you're really made of!
