All relationship have their shares of ups and downs but in my experiences, be it platonic or intimate love. I am sure long distance relationships are the ultimate roller coaster ride.....I especially remember being separated from my husband when the first year while engaged. Same thing happens with women who have husbands in the Navy or any other service.
Such relationships provoke a myriad of emotions and moods sometimes all at once, almost akin to puberty or menopause in ups and downs.
I have found that there are layers of emotions I have gone through - extreme lust, wanting to be with them/missing them, and hating them, being incredibly sad and lost. Sometimes these "layers" are all incorperated into one big package and you struggle to sift through the mess you find yourself in.
How does one adapt and what can the couples do to maintain and nurture this disjointed, schism of a relationship.....especially when you go for periods at a time with little to no contact.

Talking About Sparta
Looking at the attractive actress playing a Spartan women in the film clip, I am reminded of a modern Spatan women I knew in my youth with sparkling blue eyes & blonde hair who told me that original 'Elenes [aspirated e] or Spartan's were blond and in fact the women would die their hair black for glamor.
Now if Hollywood wants to really change history it might consider Hallee Barry in a remake of Helen of Troy. A beautiful women is a beautiful woman.

Yep, definitely blond hair and fairer eyes in Greeks.
My father and his siblings were first generation American. His father was from Athens, Greece and his mother was from Istanbul. His two sisters were very beautiful women....one was dark haired, dark eyed and the other was blond hair and lighter eyes.
Also, I sat next to a attractive woman years ago, who was wearing sun glasses. We got to talking and she was flying in to attend her son's wedding. I discovered she was from Greece and I told her I was half Greek (on my father's side), but that people said my hazel eyes were the only thing on me that didn't look Greek. At that point she took off her sun glasses and said "nonsense, you look very Greek and have eyes the same color as mine". She did, indeed, have hazel eyes almost the same color as my eyes.
Look at all of the northern Italians that are close to Switzerland. They are blond haired and blued eyed as well.
Hey, Van is Sicilian. Aren't his eyes fair as well? It's hard to tell because he is always wearing those dark sun glasses. Hmmmm???
We come in all sizes, colors, and shapes! Don't you just love it?

I liked that movie, but they were as greek as i am white(and im dark)Bill Glasheen wrote:Did you see the movie 300, Vicki? This is a movie on ancient Sparta (loosely affiliated with a watershed event in history) that only a Greek could fully appreciate.
Hey, is that you?

It was frank millers comic is was based off of.
A comic that was based on a movie.
And a movie that was based on history. So...
It was just eye candy.
Though on that, i hear the king really did truly love his wife, and before marching off to fight the persians, he sent his wife a message.
This would fit right in if in New Orleans. I lived 20 minutes out New Orleans for over 7 years.....very interesting place.
Exotic, unusual, uncommon sights, sounds, and smells. I usually go back once a year and spend some time down in the French Quarter with my sister, eating great food, shopping, having our favorite Cafe Au Lait at at Cafe Du Monde, and just wandering and enjoying ourselves immensely.
....this is very reminiscent of a typical New Orleans poster.....wonderful art, food, and music down there.

Have you seen the movie ''Marriage Italian Style" ?
Marcello/Sophia?
Marcello/Sophia?
One scene in Marriage Italian Style should be on the list of the best ever filmed - young Filomena walks down a sidewalk in Naples to meet with Dominico and every man, regardless of his age stares at her with desire. I am a woman but I could not take my eyes off her - Cleopatra or Nefertity could've walked like that. My verdict - they don't make comedies like that anymore.

....chemistry, hmmm.
Do think that was just pheromone overload or just that one particular woman's physical attributes that illicited that kind of response?
What creates that so called kind of 'chemistry'?
Maybe a confident woman who knows who she is and what she wants.....combination maybe of not only the physical, but mental, emotional, that can create such a commotion.
I don't think you necessarily have to be truly beautiful on the surface for that to happen.
I have always found it interesting watching people....funny watching a man's reaction to women, especially at an airport.
....and if you really want to be entertained, watch men away from home at a convention. Many do a Jekyll/Hyde transference.
