      Respect.  If they have respect, they were raised well.  If they were raised well, then I'm sure they have a lot of respect for their mother and then of course love and adore her.  If they have respect for their mothers and treat her well.  They will definitely know how to respect you and treat you well.
      
      Nothing is more sexy to me, then a man who always treats me with respect and shows respect for himself through his choices and actions.

    Hey Justine, I take it that you've met very few people with Integrity. And, I mean, people who understand the word and it's meaning.  A person with Integrity knows how to find balance, so you wouldn't have that problem about different views. Unless, your own integrity was in question or on the level of him.  Otherwise, it all falls into place.

    If you did not agree with them and you were honest with yourself in making that assessment, then apparently they were liars, because their integrity actually didn't stand up to what they claimed themselves.  Therefore, you are incompatible for that reason and no other.

          I can understand where you are coming from, but you have to realize that it really does come down to an individual's integrity.
          
          Because, if another person sees that a person lacks integrity, then ONE person can determine whether or not compatibility actually exists.
          
          You can tell the integrity of a person, via the words they speak and every action they do. You do not even have to meet this person. You could be overhearing a conversation, become impressed by the person's way of speaking. You could see someone do something that shows obvious integrity trait, and assume whether or not you are compatible with that person, even though you do not know them.

    Integrity? That's a leader's quality of living authentically, of keeping promises. An almost forgotten word these days.
    
    I think what women fall for is the illusion of integrity. The real deal is much less charming.
    
    It's like honesty - everyone says they want it, but unfiltered honesty isn't exactly warm & fuzzy. It can be downright mean.
    
    When a woman asks a man, "How do I look?" before a date, that isn't the time for pure honesty. She wants to be validated so she can feel wonderful. (OK - I read Men are from Mars...)
    
    What women are really are really looking for is lack of deception. They keep falling for Prince Charmings that turn into frogs after the kiss.

       when I ask "how do I look", I actually want to know. If I look awful, and dont know it, I would really like to be told before I go in public. If I don't want to know, if I am fine with how I look, I don't ask. Honesty is never mean. Mean implies an intention to cause hurt. Truth simply is what is. Yelling out what your opinion is, without being asked, can be mean.

                i think it will be better in another less spanish arrangement, so i don't think of slow tango. maybe a piano rendition

                   really? I think that spanish guitar music sets the whole style to that song!

                      well, i wish i could sing it to you in a less spanish way and you'll get my drift. i mean, does it have to have cassanova all over it. its such a great lyric!

             if possible, could you get him to ride the tractor up to my door! playing the guitar!  that would be splendid.  If he's not available, and even if he is, perhaps it would be better if you would just ride over on your tractor some evening.  (I need a bigger garden)  hahaha - but seriously, a man on his tractor always gets me going!
