I never realized I was so happy

!

Great stuff!

I always though it was because we only had basic needs:

Sex, food, sex, drink, sex , sleep, sex, reading material in the john, sex, peace and quite, sex, and a partner that could provide all of the above.

LOL!!!!

Ain't life GRAND!!!

Now if we could just get past that whole "seat up- seat down" thing it would be perfect!

Posted by: Irish Stepper 01-Sep-2006, 08:35 PM

I don't let that part bug me much. I figure I can just as easily put the seat down myself. I'm the only female in the house with 3 males. However, in the middle of the night as you're stumbling around in the dark to go to the bathroom is a different story...NOT a nice way to wake up by falling into the toilet.

A friend of mine once told me that men have sex like they shop. In, out, done.

but men - just look at what you miss out on!!

1. You have variety with your name.

2. The garage is someone else's responsibility

3. Wedding plans are great fun to make!

4. Chocolate is ... well, chocolate!

5. You can be President - do we really want to be

6. Pregnancy is a wonderful

7. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park - why?!

8. We can oggle men with no t-shirts on in the water park.

9. Car mechanics can be wound round your finger and will do work for cheap

10. The world is your urinal - um OK - I'll give you that one

11. We don't pick up bugs from dirty bathrooms.

12. We think about turning nuts and bolts, but we also read instructions

13. We enjoy our men having money and spending it on us.

14. We enjoy eyeing up men with those character building wrinkles.

15. We look pretty and feel good in our wedding dresses.

16. The occasional well-rendered belch shocks and gets us noticed!

17. New shoes are great fun to buy!

18. One mood all the time - as do we ... woman mood

19. We love communicating by telephone and have great fun chatting to our friends/family.

20. We can learn about tanks if we wish to.

21. A five-day vacation is a wonderful opportunity to buy new clothes!

22. We get our lovely men to flex their muscles when opening our jars

23. Our men do sometimes surprise us with lovely acts of thoughtfulness.

24. If someone forgets to invite us we have fun elsewhere.

25. Buying underwear is a great excuse to shop!

26. Shoe shopping is another great excuse to shop!

27.

You can tease men with strap problems.

28. We enjoy going out well groomed without wrinkles in our clothes.

29. We can change our looks to suit our outfit/mood.

30. We can change our hair to suit the occasion.

31. We have to shave less than men.

32. We can play with toys all your life - they're just different to men's toys!

33. .... OK can't think of a retort to this one - suggestions please ladies!

34. Buying purses to match shoes is another great reason to shop!

35. We can wear anything we want, skirts, shorts, long/cropped trousers ... men have only long/sort trousers - and we can shop to buy more!

36. It's therapeutic to sit and 'do' your nails.

37. We can enjoy our men with their moustaches

38. Well - Christmas - what a fantastic reason to SHOP!!!!

I love the retorts! I can't really think of one for #33 either. Except for the fact that no matter how big our hips are, some man out there is going to think they're HOT. I don't know of any women who think a beer gut on a guy is sexy.

Posted by: gaberlunzie 11-Sep-2006, 12:45 PM

Loved the study AND the retorts - and I totally agree

Posted by: dundee 11-Sep-2006, 03:58 PM

zeryx..... *L* you have to much time on your hands. did you stay up all night?
i should have known there would be retort.... but never on all of them....

regarding #33 that could get ugly.... there is a limit to hips size too.... and i have known plenty of women that actually liked a bit of "beer belly" i think their might be a limit there also... but alas sexy is in the eye of the beholder.... thinking these are the women writing in the "hunks in kilts" thread .... remember what bigger hunk is there than "fat bastard" and he says he is "dead sexy" *L* especially in his kilt....

At our house, the average life span of cats is 180 days, the average life span of dogs is 14 years!
They may not give a s**t, but they don't last long enough to matter either!

Any comments?

Posted by: sisterknight 12-Sep-2006, 06:11 PM

what do you mean 180 days??????we had one that lived to be 18!!

Posted by: Dogshirt 12-Sep-2006, 07:38 PM

WOW! 18 days? That's even a record for our house!
