I grew up where the laundry was done regularly, allowance was given upon the chores were done, Mom did not work-she worked on the home and raising kids and dog. Dad worked hard and came home and kept the lawn, did some gardening, golfed in later years. We learned cleanliness, going to church, watched language, and morals were enforced. Family gatherings on a weekly basis and that was important.
I would just remind folks that one data point does not a statistic make. The biggest mistake we all make at one time or another is taking our own experiences and projecting them into some generalized conclusion on how things really are. I have always told my kids, cohorts, friends, family, etc. is that reality extends way beyond your own perceptions and experiences. That said, I wish you the best.
Sorry you feel that way. It was intended as advice, not a putdown.
Not this guy
You're not the exception, Gary, you're what I see as the norm, I know, because my husband is the same! LOL!
I read somewhere that Derrière had risen up in rank in the last decade or so. Unlike the eyes, can't think of any romantic poems, phrases, songs or phrases that have been written about buttocks. Given your preference, I trust you know about the women who had two such things, complete with 4 legs and 4 buttocks (i.e., Myrtle Corbin, 1868-1928,) . She was apparently quite the lady and I am thinking her legs perhaps got the first or second look.
"You would not believe the way so many women have treated me that way", (fortunately not so often these days!So being womanly is ultimately reduced to sex appeal? Nineteen fifty would like it’s attitude back.
).Well now.....too much of a good thing is.....well.......too much
Fortunately, her husband didn't think so. He must have thought her to be a womanly woman, with the two having had 5 children, I believe.
Well sir, with that dual git up.....can't miss
For many of us, it never did. So much neglect, abuse, etc of both wives and children flourished hidden in the rosy denial of the good old days. My experience was extreme to say the least, but in my practice I have counselled dozens
I agree. There was no Leave it to Beaver crap going on in our home growing up. My parents had two of us with Tourette's and bills to pay. I spent a good portion of my younger years being verbally abused and sent to my room. We didn't have the money for mom to doll up to go to the grocery store. And my father had an affair years later with her friend. So I don't think these years are as rosy as everyone seems to recall. They may have been for appearances sake but behind closed doors things are just different.For many of us, it never did.

of people whose lives were hell. Good luck getting any help from the police, or any govt agencies during that time. To,
all intents and purposes, wives and children were property. A husband would not even be prosecuted for raping his wife, or beating his children unless they were severely injured. No one would have dared raise the spectre of incest
due to the shame attached. I am delighted for those people who had wonderful experiences during those years, many did not. Certainly, if one happened to be a person of colour, life was
challenging to say the least. To the sadly all too often silent legions of us who suffered during that time period, it is excruciatingly painful to hear how much better family life was then than it is now.
I agree with you about the Lonnie Anderson remark. But when's the last time you saw someone buying a magazine with a Sally Field type on the cover. Those types don't end up in Playboy.
"Nice guys" will look you in the eye first, maybe consider them instead.well if i ever meet a man that looks me in the eye first i'll reconsider.
I would if I could actually find one. I have yet to meet a man who didn't check out the headlights first.
Yes, and "nice guys" will be genuinely interested in the whole person, not just the T&A. One of the things having the greatest signal strength on their radar will be personality.
Are they living under a rock or something?
Playboy magazine, or any other skin magizine shouldn't be regarded as the standard by which to measure the male psyche.
