Just ‘cause you’re too tired to be ABLE to do something doesn’t mean you don’t WANT to do it or are making excuses to not have to do it.

We make time for the things we really want to do, but sometimes the stuff we HAVE to do comes before anything we want to do, no matter how much you want to do it. That’s just a fact of life when you’re raising kids. At least for a lot of us.

Do you have kids?

I am often too tired to eat, and I love food.

Sounds like you aren't hungry. One can love the idea of something, like jogging, without really having any desire to do that something.

I think that many women who have no sexual desire, love the idea of being sexual. In fact, they create many reasons why someone as sexual as they think they are, has no libido.

I’m not hungry? Wow, have you got me wrong. I’m always hungry.

But you are too tired to eat, not too hungry to sleep.

What’s Lee-Jackson day, is that in connection with the Civil War?

Hub and I are the same way about holidays - he never remembers my b/day and I don’t care, we never exchange presents on Christmas, and Valentine’s day is a non-event entirely. Every now and then, maybe every couple of years, he’ll ask me what day we got married. I tell him (it’s on his birthday, which he also doesn’t remember) and that’s it.

:-D

What I love is when he does things like fixes the leaking kitchen sink, the washing machine, and wow - the day he came home with a new propane range! oooo-weee!

What I especially am fond of is that he is faithful, responsible, has no vices, doesn’t waste money, cares about me greatly, and is my best friend (besides God of course). All the hearts and flowers and ooey gooey stuff - Hallmark cards stuff - I’d feel weird if he tried it.

‘And that the un-named ex-boyfriend is a jerk and probably a criminal.” That is exactly why she likes him. But , He is smart enough not to get married to her.

Remove all of the numbers and text from the knobs and switches, and you have a perfect pictorial representation of the sexes.

Ahh the wonderful slide down into the cesspool continues. This study is so wrong in so many ways I don’t even know where to begin...

An amusing exposition of it.

I think the article’s key is in this sentence: “...within monogamy, women’s narcissistic need...” This can’t be addressed without addressing the narcissism, which is related to immaturity. But since homosexuality and other perversions were once classed in the narcissistic personality disorders, there is likely a great deal of truth-avoidance when looking into this category, when what’s needed is acceptance of simple truths.

Yes. For other guys.

He’s an attentive lover, the sort of man who, on Valentine’s Day, draws her a bath surrounded by candles and arranges rose petals into a heart shape on the bed.

No wonder she went in search of a man. Yikes!

Lee-Jackson Day is a holiday to honor Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. It’s in late January, when both Generals had their birthdays, and used to be observed in several Southern states. It’s been replaced by Martin Luther King’s Unbirthday. Two of our children share General Lee’s birthday, and one is named after General Jackson.

We also observe Star Wars Day (May 4), which is also my mother’s birthday, and other occasions that are meaningful to us.

I like it when my husband does things like bringing me a book from the library sale, or doing some of the shopping for the children’s camping trips, or picking the baby up when she’s having a tantrum at the same time as other children. He remembers our anniversary within several days of the actual date, and most of the children’s middle names!

Women aren’t attracted to pansy sissified males. As simple as that. They prefer to be dominated by Alpha Males. Survival of the fittest.
