Might as well. See what Anais, errr Low Key can stir up in here. J/K Sorta...

One of the many things that I admire most about Colombiana is her natural curiosity for just about everything. While loaded with common sense and street smarts, she approaches everything in life open-minded with much enthusiasm, whether it be something simple like new or foreign foods or more complex possibilities such as new people and relationships. She's fearless and open to new experiences like no one I've ever met.

For a simple example, we were recently eating at one of those Brazilian Steak Houses for the office Xmas Party and as we scanned the Salad, Sides and Veggie Bar, she walked up the the Tabouli and asked me, "What is that?" With no better answer than, "Tabouli", she followed up, "I want to try it", and grabbed a big spoonful. I've heard of and come across Tabouli probably 100 times in my life and never tried it.

While I'm still a bit daring in my life, I'm also very cautious and conservative, and it just amazes me how open, curious and fearless she can be. Very inspiring and one of the things I find truly attractive in her.

Yeah yeah I know...

Cool story brah...

sounds like major wife material.

do you have anything you want to ask her right now?

That sounds really nice

My ex wanted sex more often than I did, and hardly ever rejected my requests... or those of others, I guess...I mean, that's how I got to know her, in the first place...

Tabouli isn't a side, it's a war crime

Lol. FTR, I still haven't tried it.

My fiance is the same - naturally curious about food and really will try anything.

I've always told people who ask that my favorite thing about her is she wakes up with a smile all the time. Not in an annoying, bubbly kind of way, but that I could accidentally wake her up and she'd rub her eyes and smile at me and reach for a hug. It's absolutely incredible to me because I am a complete grouch when I wake up.

Nice! I'm not a grouch, but usually disoriented and quiet.

My ex would always do my nails on my hands. Totally something I don't pay enough attention to now. As a guy it was always nice having perfect nails with out ever having to think about it. She also loved if I got a massive sunburn so she could peel the skin off when it was healing. ADD girls gonna ADD

Thread confirmed less fun.

But you turned down the bikini wax?

In what universe is trying tabouli considered adventurous?

congrats, the trait your most admire about your significant other is one that my dog has since she eats everything too.

No so much adventurous there as just being completely open to something new with an honest curiosity about what it is.

I used that as a simple example because it was fresh on my mind. The more admirable ones are the way she approaches strangers when we're out and makes friends. She's completely approachable and will talk to anyone, but not in the obnoxious, intrusive style as some people can be where they just invade your space and start talking to you.

She's just generally curious about life and I find it very cool and appealing.

Looks like me 4 yo nephew and your gf have something in common. He'll typically stick his tongue out and say "yuck", but still, he's pretty fearless about trying new food.

My wife is loyal, trustworthy, caring, unselfish, optimistic, pretty and friendly. She is an awesome mother and wife. She is a passionate lover. I have never been henpecked in my entire life.

Our marriage (34 years) works because we both feel lucky and happy to have each other, but she will never understand that I am way, way luckier than her, AINEC.

Congrats on the 34 years man, helluva accomplishment.

Top advice for a relatively new marriage?

http://www.businessinsider.com/lasti...traits-2014-11

Not married but it seems like a good idea to disappear for hours at a time early on in the marriage so she won't suspect anything when you start cheating.

Relentlessly optimistic in spite of my unfailing cynicism. Ridiculously patient. Never holds a grudge. Laid back. Almost never nags.

She accepted my divorce settlement offer without lawyering up.

Takes it in the ***. Not from me, but that's what I hear.

lol +1. And she hasn't bothered me since.

Tabouli is the same thing as tabbouleh? Tabbouleh is delicious, if so.

Yeah a couple of things.

-Marrying the right person when you are young (like I was) is really luck more than anything. We were so much different in our 30s than we were when we married (me 19 and her 21) that we often laughed about WTF were we thinking back then. So tip 1 is that marriage will always be a crapshoot.

-Our success, and the success of many of the friends we have that are still together is to make sure you have separate hobbies and interests. My wife has her hobbies, I have mine, and we have things we do together. My wife travels with her family and friends, I travel with my golf buddies, and we also travel together. We are not in each other's pockets. This helps make our time together better.

-Don't keep track of trade-offs. I have never understood the stuff I see in some relationships. The "he bought me a really nice ring so he is going to get really lucky, or he is in my good books for a while." The "you went out with your friends Friday so I am going out on Saturday.." If any relationship already has some sort of real or implied barter system of favours, "turns", sex, money.... then it is probably not a good one.

-Ask her what she wants. Tell her you are a guy. Logical and analytical. If I am not doing something I should be, let me know. If I am doing something that bothers you, let me know. We never have silent treatment. If one of us is ticked off, we let the other know when, and why. Sort it out and move on.

That's all I have.

Thx man.
