Intellectual Intercourse

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

I am open to intellectual confabulation..............anyone...ladies??

i want some hardcore confabulation........right here...out in teh open...

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

I don't think that's what's being said at all. She said parent/child dynamic - as in one partner who has the authority and dictates and the other is expected to obey because they are considered too immature to be on equal footing. There is no communication on a equivalent plane.

And I do agree, without a mental connection the partnership is just reduced to those things. You see it all around you, all the time.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Yeah that was pretty nasty. No one's stepped on my tail.

Chaibiskut if you're going to respond to me please don't do it in riddles.

I've got nothing against you, I agree with what you say. Just how you've replied to any form of criticism ( I don't include my own, mine isn't criticism. More like an attack ) and the downcast tone with which you've dealt out your responses. If you can't handle it, don't deal it out.

But hey, I'm just a random on the forums, don't pay too much mind to what I have to say.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

agreed.......... but some people might enjoy or be happy with that parent child dynamic......just because one doesn't like that........doesn't make that wrong/backward/intellectually inferior.........does it?

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Clever.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Nah not at all. Single user.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

What if your partner has a dirty mind?

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Ghost don't ask difficult questions

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Do you know any children who like being treated like children? They always want to do what adults are doing. They want to be considered mature. I'm sure the partner is the parent role is loving it if they have a dictatorial tendencies. Even if you liked being taken care of, no one *likes *to be treated like their opinions are worth nothing.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

OTC, in mots relationships the practical and focused partner often prevail over the intellectual one.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

I disagree. To put it simply, children like to be treated as 'adults' when they think they are right. While when they are at fault, they always want to be treated like children.

I agree. And I think you raised a very important point. Maybe it nullifies OP's use of the word.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Comprehension --

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

And another point people need to consider is, what exactly is intellectualism. For some poeple its the ability to type mumbo jumbo, gobbledygook in English, even if it makes no sense at all. I guess they seek similar partners.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

chaibiskut don't bother explaining yourself here - it's wasted.

Run away with me and we'll have all the intellectual intercourse we can handle.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Most people don't exactly know what kind of spouse they are looking for and the kind of spouse that is actually realistically available. And then the definition of intellectualism. How in the world are they expected to find and determine compatibility along these so-called intellectual lines.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

That's happens to be the most important factor in the end but people often don't like to acknowledge it.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

My bad.

Take pictures

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

I think the "Children" part was mistakenly put in there. Not entirely sure but theres the slight likelihood the OP meant "Boys like to be treated as adults" I could somewhat agree because I could totally relate it all to myself when I was a boy, wanting to act older than my age.

Gross!

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

my biggest concern is - all this intellectual mumbo jumbo does not explain the actions and reactions happening in the world

thus any theory or opinion put forth must be compatible of explaining RL situations as opposed to in-principle concepts. otherwise they would be refuted and put on the shelves where they will collect nothing but dust.

Re: Intellectual Intercourse

Is it just me or is Iconoclast constantly apologizing for not being the sharpest tool in the shed. Dude, your wife loves you, that's all that matters. God bless.
