would you rather be the one who wants, or the one who is wanted?

Well whadayha expect when you're a furry intellectual type that wears glasses.....?

Look, those chickens fled to Mexico, I'm telling you. Just up and disappeared on their own.

And all those pesky rumours about me-n-dalmatian puppies I tell you are damn darned lies.... really taint true!!

I would rather be wanted. It gives you the option. In fact, I want people I don't even want to want me. Haha.

Ideally I want neither of these things... I enjoy solitude. I don't like others to depend and want me. It just gets pretty ugly, in my experience. :/ I'm also not the most stable person soooo alone seems to be the way to go.

I think I'll just let Cheap Trick rock it out for me...

i would always prefer to be wanted, than to want; although i have wanted some, sometimes, but then i didn't and that was a drag. i think it is much better and more satisfying to be wanted.

Having been on both sides of this equation myself as well I have to agree that being wanted is much better.  Wanting seems so lonely and focused on what you don't have.

Aint that the truth.  The greatest, most passionate love affairs are those that could have been.  I'm starting to think having a partner would be a great disappointment.

...having a partner would be a great disappointment.

Usually is.
