NEW YORK

Sounds fair! As long as ye don't tell the girl how to live hers! *S*

What girl? My companion is a Manx cat the grew up wild in the mountains of West Virginia. When I captured her she put me in the emergency room for stitches. She "don't take no lip." She is capable of taking care of herself but still express more love than any woman that I've ever know. When we're both home, the only place she wants to be is in my lap.

[Azzurri]

The girls don't go out to work, no?

...oh, I forgot they are barefoot, pregnant and tied to the kitchen sink.

Hey, that is unfair. I never said anything about them being barefoot.

[Happygal]

Oh well I guess I could put up with yer tripe if I get lots and lots of Italian leather SHOES!!!!!! *LOL*

~Imelda Marcos wannabe~ :-)

[Happygal]

I hope ye live happily ever after :-)

[Mark17]

Yeah, right! Decent guys finish last. Personal observation indicates most women 'want' the bad boys yet will publicly profess to seek the decent guys.

That has been my experience at times too, and I have always wondered about it.

[Dan from Michigan]

The fun part though, is kicking the crap outta the bad boy when he bites off more than he can chew:).

[mattdono]

I can make the little guy available for a small fee.

[TxBec]

When you find him .. ask him if he has a brother (grin)

[glory]

my observations on the recipe for success is a little different than yours: guys, get out of the way in the house & only do what you're asked to do, & make sure you have enough energy to give her sex whenever she asks for it"

ha ha, this is my house too! And this coming from the lady of the house;-)

glory

[mattdono]

Really? Glory, can you talk to my wife for me.

Let me pose a question I posed before on this thread.

If your guy did most of the chores and stuff, would you be more or less likely to want to have sex with him?

[scottiewottie]

Just when you thought is was safe to leave FR, I get this annoying ping in my head!

My only advice to men is to snatch up a woman when they are totally naive, 18 to 24 years. For men to have a chance with the young and naive ones you need to act fast. For the twentyfour year-old woman, thirty in a man is real old!

Add to this the age of self-awareness that women discover when they are able to buy their own food in a restaurant. The utility for men wanes and with it the desire for a long term commitment. (smile)

[real saxophonist]

I'm just gonna sit back and watch...

[Don Myers]

"Ever heard of repentance?"

I have heard of repentance. In this instance, I suspect it is simply old age catching up. An aging hedonist is a interesting sight to see. Hugh Heffner is a good example. He is a pathetic human being.

[Don Myers]

Steve, this repentence thing is mostly a religious term. I don't think that aging hedonists have gotten religion. They have pretty much "shot their wad," and they are seeing the possible benefits of coming home every night to the same person. When once they could dance all night, they want to watch tv when they get home and just relax. That is not repentence, they just want a change in their life style.

"My only advice to men is to snatch up a woman when they are totally naive, 18 to 24 years. For men to have a chance with the young and naive ones you need to act fast. For the twentyfour year-old woman, thirty in a man is real old! "

If a woman is naive and marries for that reason, what will happen when she "wises up?" If a woman feels that she is better off on her own after she gets some experience under her belt, maybe marriage is not the best course of action, unless one's definition of a permanent marriage is "til she wises up."

There is a song out now for the modern generation. It is called, "I Want to be Bad." I don't know the name of the female singer. But does that give you a clue?

[scottiewottie]

By marrying young you have little to compare yourself to and you have a few years prove that there is a good reason why you are worth living with.

But then I don't see marriage as a contract, I see it more as a covenant. So my advise here is to be taken lightly, because even I don't take it seriously!

Yes, freep mail to follow.

[Don Myers]

Many guys are going that way. I replied to your mail.
