+1There are many women out there. I've been through a couple of wives already. Being in a relationship where the lady is consantly nagging about various aspects of your life is no picnic. I'm up front with all of the women in my life. They know what I enjoy doing in my leisure time. If they can't handle it, they should be honest and say so from the beginning. I don't BS them, so I expect the same in return. I've had a couple of past relationships actually become interested and learn how to hunt, fish and shoot because they saw how much time and effort I put into it. I'd say NEVER compromise yourself for anyone, especially a WOMAN.

No just "in Lust" a marriage is a relationship of sharing if you are willing to give up so must she in order for a relationship to work. If you end up doing all the giving and her all the taking you will become bitter and resentful eventually. So if guns, Dogs, N boats are what helps make you happy then she must share your likes and dislikes, sex N looks are just temporary. She will take a interest in your hobbies just as you must take a interest in hers if there is a true bond. Believe me been married to the same woman for over 32 years it must be a two way road, if not you are doomed to a future of either failure or servitude choose wisely.

You miss read what I said. Before I start cars are not motorcycles whole different animal
My wife loves me for who I am, as I am, she knows my bike dog & guns are an integral part of who what I am. She would not change that for the world because she likes me just the way I am. GlockFan said it quite well there is not reason to ever compromise who and what you are especially not for a woman
Those who would, deny, require permit, qualification, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family

What I am talking about is not just about pleasure of an inanimate object. Rather about who I am or who You are. About what gives me joy. I ride and have since 1973. It is a deeply ingrained part of who I am, I have carried for nearly as long. Every year I take at least one road trip for a couple of weeks or month. To see those great nation of ours. I camp and ride free. To take those "things" away from me or ask that I give them up is to ask that I forfeit who I am. Obviously anyone who would ask that of me does not like me. So this is the point. Why be with anyone who does not like me? Why would you want to be with anyone who does like you, for you as you are?
Thank goodness I am not looking. I do not have a woman who puts up with what I like. She loves me because of who I am. Just as she is my star exactly the way she is. We are partners in every sense of the word. Not only would she never ask me to give up my bike she bought me one for fathers day a few years back.
I would rather be alone than to try to be someone I am not and live a lie
