In MANY instances, mate CHOICE is a compensatory process. In other words, both men and WOMEN CHOOSE prospective mates by combining their scores on SEVERAL key attributes.

I started playing chess when I was five YEARS old. I learned the moves from my mother, then worked with my father - and later trainers. My style BECAME very technical. I sacrificed a lot of things. I was always hunting for the KING, for the mate. I'd FORGET about my other PIECES.

I was the Republican governor of the heavily Democratic STATE of NEW Mexico. I focused on good GOVERNMENT, and I got it done - just like my RUNNING mate, former MASSACHUSETTS Gov. Bill Weld. The people of New Mexico reelected me by a comfortable margin. Ditto for Weld.

Mama grizzlies mate later than other bears. They have two cubs instead of four. They wait four YEARS - about twice as long as other bears - between having cubs. And after they're pregnant, if WINTER is hard or their health is not good or the FOOD SUPPLY is uncertain, they re-absorb the embryo into their body.

I'm not FRIENDS with POLITICIANS. I'm not PEOPLE's MATE.

I always had a penchant for falling in love. EVERY time I found myself without a MATE, I FELL into a STATE of low-sizzling panic.

It's NAIVE to think there is a woman in the world who isn't brought up to BELIEVE that they are waiting for their soul MATE. You even see it in DISNEY.

Order ROOTED in and maintained and restored by FEAR, intimidation, brutality and incarceration is immoral and untenable. Justice is order's intended soul MATE. But serving justice is twice as HARD as serving fear.

I HOPE that I'll be able to have KIDS with a MATE. But I don't KNOW if that's in the plan.

I WOULD do WHATEVER I COULD to make Jeremy Corbyn more electable, but you've got to GIVE me SOMETHING to work with, mate.

You may choose your mate, but you cannot DENY someone ELSE the right to choose their mate.

My HUSBAND's my SOUL MATE. At the same TIME, RuPaul's my soul mate.

You NEED to MARRY someone that is your soul MATE, that you're obsessed with, and never ignore that.

My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many OTHERS in his life who LOVE him as much as I do. They're there for both of US. I may not have a mate or HUSBAND, but I'm definitely not a SINGLE parent.

I TRULY have a VILLAGE supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so MANY others in his life who love him as much as I do. They're there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I'm definitely not a SINGLE PARENT.
