I have had a similar idea in my mind for a while ... if we want to be with somebody who likes her man to be/act a certain way, should we try and accomodate her? I think we eventually slip up trying to be somebody we are not.&lt;BR/&gt;An even worse scenario ... we all know that many women try and change the man into what their perception of a man should be. Then you are not fulfilling her desires a) because your true self is not the person she wants and b) even if you try to accomodate you will eventually let your guard down.&lt;BR/&gt;Maybe some people can change and be happy ... I believe we should, just as you said, love the person as they are. Certainly you will find aspects of the other person not quite to your liking ... but that's life.&lt;BR/&gt;If it is such a major obstacle then you should be able to see it as such right from the outset and either accept it or leave before getting too involved.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Just my 2 cents.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3240135571858542479/9022665155703496236/comments/default/1722796899903428865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3240135571858542479/9022665155703496236/comments/default/1722796899903428865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theartofloveandintimacy.com/2007/03/be-who-you-are.html?showComment=1172787120000#c1722796899903428865' title=''/><author><name>George</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14369924981153052978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/GfWone/FredVeryYoung.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theartofloveandintimacy.com/2007/03/be-who-you-are.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-9022665155703496236' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3240135571858542479/posts/default/9022665155703496236' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1433882199'/></entry></feed>
