Guest Chaney Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) ... would it be wise for me to present this to potential mates? Your guidance would be appreciated. Edited May 12, 2004 by Chaney Quote
rachel Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Shurrr! You can gauge her sense of humor.... Quote
RDK Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Bless her, but if I showed that list to my wife (of ten years, btw), she'd hit me upside of the head so hard... Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 The listen to him first was the best. A woman's thoughts and conversation isn't as important as his. Quote

BruceH Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 My favorite: "Minimize all noise." I can actually get on board with that one. Sure, show that to any and all prospective girlfriends/potential mates; it'll do two things for you: 1) Allow you to stay a bachelor all your life, and 2) Very well get you killed. Good luck! Quote
GA Russell Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 I wonder how many issues were published of that mag! Even for the fifties, that sounds like an article written by a group of men enjoying martinis over lunch! Quote
PHILLYQ Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 How times have changed! I'm married almost 17 years, and my wife enters the kitchen only to eat, but I usually get home before her and my son and I try to have dinner ready for when they come home. I got a good laugh about the 'Don't worry if he's late for dinner or stays out all night'-yeah right. If I stayed out all night unexpectedly it's sofa time for me, pal! 'You have no right to question him' ROTFLMAO!!!! Quote
JSngry Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) Actually, it's good advice for the most part, providing that there was a collateral guide for being a good husband, one that stresses much the same concepts. Which, given the time and the place of this thing, is likely unlikely. But take away the blatantly sexist tone of being less than an equal partner that runs throughout this thing, and you're left with traits that most any man would find endearing. Whether or not he would use that endearment as motivation to reciiprocate or not is another matter, but a pig's gonna be a pig no matter what... Trust me as somebody who has learned this the hard way - a successful relationship, especially a marriage, is not build on holding back kindness and consideration. And the kindness and consideration must be reciprocated. Two cannot become one if the ones are constantly determined to remain seperate. Edited May 12, 2004 by JSngry Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 The clear winner is the third suggestion ("Be a little gay.") You'd definitely keep him all smiley when he comes home to find you and a couple of your girlfriends all making out and waiting for the "big chief!" Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 They forgot the most important one: Give him the good stuff whenever he wants. Quote
Free For All Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Actually, if you replace all the words "him/his/he" with the words "her/hers/she" it's not so far off. It's scary how true it suddenly seems. Really, really scary. Quote
vibes Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 I saved it and then emailed it to my wife. Cross your fingers... Quote
Guest Chaney Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Vibes, I believe you'll get a reaction which includes... THIS And I'm not talking strippoker. Quote

Really, really scary. I betcha. If my wife comes home and I don't have supper ready, pray for me ... Quote
vibes Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Vibes, I believe you'll get a reaction which includes... THIS And I'm not talking strippoker. She actually found it very entertaining. And, I was able to throw it back at her when she told me she was going to work out before cooking me dinner. "No," I said, "there should be a delicious meal waiting for me when I get home from the office." Nevermind that she usually only gets home 30-45 minutes before I do. She laughed about that, too. She probably won't laugh when she finds out tonight that I wasn't kidding. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Whew! I was expecting Vibes' next post to be something like "I'm posting on my laptop, sitting in the Dumped Hubby Motel..." Personally, I'd alter the one about the kids and just lock them in a closet after sedating them, but other than that, it looks good to me. "What dear?" Oops...gotta go guys! Quote
