Let the gender-bashing wars begin! :D
Oh, and there's a photo above -- if you dare!
You know, with a little imagination, this article could be dedicated to the DUmmies over on DU waiting for him to suddenly take up the fight for them by demanding to be awarded Ohio.
DUmmies, he isn't going to call. Get over it!
Wish this book had been around 20 years ago!
Women can be the same way.
Have you read it? I quickly paged through it in the bookstore a couple of weeks ago, but it seems kind of obvious.
Of course. But since guys aren't the ones who buy these sappy self-help books, they're written for women.
Ms. Lewinsky had the same sort of troubles with Bill. Sad.
I still don't get it, we are not that hard to figure out!
My wife: How do you feeeeeeel?
Me: .....Hungry?
Men want what seems difficult to obtain and therefore valuable. Remember that. Get yourself a tattoo with those words. Write it on the ceiling over your bed. It's a fact of life, like football on Sunday. Let it be.
If women would only return to their biologically-destined, submissive role in a relationship and behave within the bounds of civilization, they would have no worries like this.
The best self-help is self-realization of the Self and acceptance.
I haven't heard of it.
I'm happily married now, but the road to that was filled with a lot of heartache. (not from my husband, but from other men that I fancied throughout my teenage through young adult life)
A lot of it sounds just like what my Mom and Grandma kept telling me, but I wouldn't listen. (common sense?)
A friend of mine (she's deceased now, God rest her soul) used to say a lot, "Men want what they can't have." ;)
As Sun Tzu said, if you have a reputation for subtlety, act straightforwardly.
Great minds and all that. I honestly thought this was going to be a Kerry-Dem base article.
But I agree with the book's title...
I remember the first time Hub kissed me--in my parents' kitchen, after our second date...I remember thinking, "If this man doesn't love me, I am in BIG trouble..." He called every day. Still does, even though we've been married 34 years this Dec. 26th. ;-D
Wow, what insight.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make my ex-girlfriend read this!!!!!
This thread ought to be interesting. Bookmarking ...
So do you sometimes get the phones calls from her that go something like this
"Why don't you call anymore? You said when were going out that you'd stay in touch."
"Um, you're married."
Not that I've ever had phone class like that ...
Through some cruel twist of fate, we are obviously destined to be deaf and/or incredulous when the people who care the most about us are giving us good advice. Yeah, sure, it all seems so clear NOW...when I don't need the advice anymore. But it worked out just like the book says (just like most common sense does). Working up to our first date and beyond, the "right guy" made it quite clear he was just as interested in me as I was in him. (Our eleventh wedding anniversary is tomorrow.)
