He wouldn't have the energy!

Oh really???:)

[stlrocket]

Here's one for you - we don't thinks she got a date yet.

TAINT SHE PURDY?!

[mattdono]

I see your point and I agree. I think that this is really the key: knowing your role. The real problem comes into when a woman/man starts to think that what they do is more important than their partner.

My wife and I went through this a long time ago. She does what she does, I do what I do. The only time that this is strained is when she is feeling overwhelmed with her duties and asks me to help out. I do so without much question, because hopefully it will make her less stressed and more relaxed.

Interestingly, I have found that her "relaxation coefficient" is directly related to her willingness to, well you know, "take a spin on the ole' matt machine". < nudge, wink, nudge > You know what I mean? WOOHOO!

[Happygal]

*ROFLMAO*...that is the cruelest, funniest post I've read here in ages! *LOL*

[Azzurri]

Meanwhile....
The clothes are washed EVERY day
The washing up is done THREE times a day
The meals are prepared and cooked THREE times a day
The dusting is done THREE times a week
The beds are made EVERY day.

Oh sure, that is what you'd LIKE us to believe! You must work more efficiently. The clothes don't have to be washed EVERY day! Meals prepared THREE times a day? For whom? The guy's out working during the day. Dusting can be done once a week. Beds take three minutes to make. You really overstate the woman's workload! You, Happygal, would be happy with a traditional Italian male as your leader, trust me. ;-)

Ten years--and fifty pounds ago, Boris had a heart-to-heart talk with himself. The bottom line:

"Whatever women want, I ain't got. Whatever I got, women don't seem to want."

Things are much better now, now that I've given up hope.

==========================

I had two great loves of my life, and lost them both. Not really willing to go through that again. Enough pain is enough. Fortunately I am on medications that reduce my libido to zilch. I have one close female friend, a divorcee with three kids. We are friends--extremely platonic--and I am Honorary Daddy to the kids.

Works fine for us. Everyone says we should marry. I respond, "Yeah, but that would destroy our friendship."

==================

Once she took me up on a hot-air balloon. The pilot kept referring to her as "Mrs. 'Boris'". I told him at around 3,000 feet: "Well, I asked her to marry me but she said she'd rather jump out of a hot-air balloon."

The guy's out working during the day!

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

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

Note to self, do not date Italian men who live like pigs! *L*

The same thing happens when you mortgage a house. Suddenly everybody wants you to be in debt to them, notwithstanding that is the one time you don't want to take on any more debt.

[mattdono]

Happy, let me ask you this then:

Say we are married. I do the "guy" stuff (lawn, cars, snow shovelin') AND I cook 3-4 times/wk, do the dishes everynight, vacumm every week, do the family's laundry, and clean the bathrooms every week (talkin' full scrub down).

Given that, how many times, per week, should there be sex in the house?

[Benson_Carter]

anyone i missed?

[Happygal]

Ask me again later. I've got a headache ;-)

[Landru]

Some xlation's needed here.
*"Decent Guy" = Fabio Rockefeller with gentle, agreeable disposition who makes one, *laugh* 24/7.
*"Available Woman" = 5'10" 135# BBE who worships: me, my stinking feet, horrible table manners & foul mouth, and is willing to yield top billing to my dog.

...this is where a Saint Jude comes in handy.

[mattdono]

LOL...seriously, I would like to know.

If all that was done, how many times a week?

[Benson_Carter]

single; 21; some higher education; employed full time as a computer and network systems technician; not that bad looking, I guess; into music, politics, current events.

check out my profile. I'll accept your apology along with some answers on how I can meet some of these girls that are "dieing to meet" guys like me.

thanks in advance!

[VOA]

Eligible women are EVERYWHERE; this article is nonsense

True. And most of them are overseas.

[Happygal]

Seriously....sex shouldn't be in exchange for chores. It should be because both parties want to make love.

Chore sharing is just common courtesy in a household where both parties work day jobs IMHO.

Having that said, I'd say a three times a week average would be pretty normal (and twice on Sundays! *LOL*)

[ken21]

part of it is the increasingly large numbers of large females.

unless yo like being in bed with yo mo, yo need 2 look 4 mo slim pickin's.

i saw a size 20 20 year old chick, dressed in black the other day in mission valley.

ick.

fat chicks dressed in black, contrary to the newspaper mavens' advice to wear slimming black, look like fat chicks in black.

[mattdono]

Ohhhh, I knew there was a reason I liked you.

I think that you need to talk with my wife...especially about the twice on Sunday part. YIPPEE!

[Benrand]

My married friends can be wearing gloves and STILL women will come onto them like gangbusters. Is this metaphysical? maybe...could be body language. They all have said that women hit on them more after they got married.
