Contentment is nice and comfortable. Like fucking a guy who has an 'adequate' sized dick.
You may not be shouting it from the rooftops, but you aint gagging on it either.

Nope, not even close. I’m very well fucked, thank you very much.

I agree more with heartcream . . .
quote:

ORIGINAL: heartcream
Contentment is usually a response after an action. Stroke a dog and it will sigh in contentment. Relax someone and they will le sigh too.

There is nothing wrong with contentment, it is a sign of being open and relaxed.

I think if a man could bend me the way I need and desire to be that would lead to really awesome contentment.

Awesome contentment—I like that.

What makes me happy, feel contented now, would have bored me 25 years ago.

Based upon your ill conceived posts of the past you are entirely correct.  If you said it was sunny outside I would have to go check.

Why don't you take your own fucking worthless advice?  Since I am the author it clearly states my own ideals.

From now on when you post is it okay to attach this to the end of all of your ridiclous thoughts?.....

"well what works for you may not for all, now don't that just suck."
 
With every post it becomes more clear what an idiot you truly are.

contentment is the killer of dreams.  It is a rather wishy washy state.  It can fill the moment.  Maybe in the place of something worse it is acceptable.  I don't know if I would jump up and down if a woman simply viewed our relationship as one based upon contentment.




It could be the killer of dreams if you consider *being contented with what you've got*as having something *slightly under par*.

I'm contented...... as in NOT discontented. There are rafts of other words to describe our relationship, content happens to be one of them. Wishy-washy would never be levelled at us.

It definitely could be worse.

It takes some tail more than satisfactory to be content in the context it seems to be used here. I think your definition of satisfied and mine would be different maybe, yeah. You sound a bit spoiled mate. Aint all that exceptional? Maybe you are talking about compromised relationships or relationships where you are just sort of a presence but not really?

 Being satisfied isn't exceptiona? What is exceptional?

It seems you;re saying that a relationship that is satisfying can't also be exceptional...why wouldn't it be? Wouldn't you be satisfied with an exceptional relationship?.....I know I am.

Not many folks would rush to a restaurant to be satisfied.

Says Domiguy the food critique:

"I found the meal to be nice.  I left satisfied.   Would I recommend subsusies Cornhole Cafe?...Sure..  But it was truly nothing out of the ordinary."

I use the OED .......* Happy and Satisfied* is the definition.

We might well have different definitions, depends what yours' is.

But what a difference it would make if you said, "I left completely satisfied" and left out the thing about the meal being nice. I wouldn't say my relationship is "nice" but I would say it "completely satisfies" me. Big difference.

Status: offline 		No but I wouldn't use the word "satisfied" to describe a wonderful meal.

It's a slippery slope...I admit it is rather nitpicking.  Use the word as you see fit.

It's funny how words can be used to describe a number of scenarios...

If I was not happy in a relationship I might say I have a discontentment over my current situation...But I never liked the word "content" to describe a fabulous situation.

Sabe?   No big deal. I do understand and might be at fault in carrying on any further.

Off to the Super Bowl Party.   I hope I find the company and food to be satisfactory.

Status: offline 		Completely is an adveb which in this case is used to describe a more enriched definition of the word content.

For instance...

Completely..

adverb
  1. To the fullest extent


You are now expanding on the meaning of "content" by utilizing the word "completely" to enrich the scope and meaning of the word "content."


People, try and follow along here. 

All I am saying that the wordd "content" alone would not be the word that "I" would choose to describe a fabulous relationship.

Use the fucker anyway that you desire.

Status: offline 		I can see both sides...

On the one hand the word "satisfactory" reminds me of the report cards I had in elementary school... N - needs improvement, S-satisfactory, E-excellent.. and given those options I would shoot for excellent...

On the flip side, I shoot for being content and satisfied with my life in general, because no one can experience ecstatic joy every moment of every day... and lets face it, the longer one is with another person, the more they shoot for contentment over passionate ecstasy, just saying, passion is a hard thing to maintain over a lifetime, and who needs that sort of pressure? Also, I find it exceptional whenever people can be contented with a very long term relationship... most don't make it that far.

I would, but it wouldn't be the ONLY word I used. If I said "that meal was satisfying," I would mean something very different from if I said, "That meal was nuanced, sophisticated,clever, flavorful, innovative, and made me want more . . . in short, it was deeply satisfying."

Enjoy the Super Bowl party. I hope it deeply satisfies.

Yes, I used one adverb to shade the meaning. You used three sentences around the sentence with the word "satisfied" in it to shade the meaning.

Thanks for your blessing on using the fucker anyway that I desire. I will.
