Back attcha! We are 20 years (almost) apart in age.

[Dog Gone]

I remember sex.

[hopespringseternal]

If y'all would just stop making us so angry we cannot even tolerate the thought of "it" with we might do "it" more often. ;)

Now if that were true men would gladly hand over the credit card and follow women around the mall all day saying, "No, dear, that outfit doesn't make you look fat."

[Skywalk]

I KNOW this must be talking about women being tired.

My one weakness is intestinal or stomach sickness. I can't STAND to be around people when I'm suffering through that.

The one exception to that and something that always made my tummy feel much better?

Yep, the good old horizontal mambo.

I've had sex while delirious from lack of sleep, I can't imagine more than one or two times where I refused the opportunity because of fatigue or illness.

[Skywalk]

ACtually it only burns about 100 something.

A thousand? No way, well unless you're involved in one of my marathon sessions.

World Poker Series rocks....

Didja see the Russian kid get hammered tonight?

[Rebelbase]

"Now at 16&12 they stay up so late it's damn near impossible to do anything."

Ain't that the truth!

[wardaddy]

I hope they're (the memories) are good. I've got a few miles left me if G-d wills it.

[wardaddy]

I have to be really tired or very sick or incredibly uptight about business or something liken that....and sometimes "it" can actually help the latter.

When I was a young buck...nothing ...baring being pre-OPed for surgery would stop me.

That's how G-d makes young fellows.

[wardaddy]

I saw Devilfish(the ice veined Brit) wax the old amateur white guy from Arkansas and the young semi-black kid....both of whom were pretty good but Devilfish is in that rare league with the hotheaded Jewish 30 something, the Vietnamese guy with glasses, that old auto dealer from GA and a couple of others....in other words...the best half dozen in the world. Those guys usually gross 3-5M in winnings annually...incredible.
This was the Tunica Binions last Saturday nite.

I love it.

The media does not talk about a female "midlife crisis" that happens between about 26-34. Women that married young will have a friend of theirs divorce... then they will get together (since her friend is now alone) and her friend will seduce the married contented wife with stories of "new Freedom" weekends, parties, you are missing out, You know your husband treats you like crap, hey he is looking at you, come on just a drink and a dance, ...." Next thing she is going off the deep end.
This has happened to so many of our friends it is pathetic. DO not share your marital struggles with people that are divorced and single. They will give you advice on how to join the new singles club rather than reinforcing your commitment.
I read a study a number of years back that showed a majority of women in this age range instigated the divorces... and they interviewed them 3 years later and something like 80% regreted divorcing. That is a huge number. So pick the people you confide in carefully, notice if the people you go to have the same values and commitment to relationships. If not you or your spouse will pay dearly.

[Skywalk]

75 percent of divorces are initiated by women. Lots of them are legitimate cases, but not 75 percent.

[wardaddy]

Most divorced folks I know are unhappy unless they got out of a really bad marriage.....especially if beyond say 30 or 35.

My wife and I probably are closer and more dovetailed than most of our friends. My parents were that way and I'm comfortable that way. I know many couples who live parallel lives. Not me.

Now being a good boy when I was young did not come naturally...it''s just easier now from almost all perspectives.

[Walkingfeather]

Sad... it does seem that a lot of women get suckered ( no not all women... back off) into things and then sucker punched.... Maybe that story in the Garden is about human nature, how we are built... hmmmm
