Ok, that first sentence worked well, the second one you said "and dream around the beautiful man"

Chivalry is not dead. Yet.

I open the car door (and every other door) for my wife every time we get in and have done so for the past 26 years. I hope to do it for at least another 26. And my wife is a fiercely independent woman, yet she loves it and thanks me every time. And I love it too. Wouldn't have it any other way.

the polite "DOLT"

Awww, that's such a sweet dolt. I like that stuff as well occasionally. Same with the opening the doors in general, taking your coat or putting it on and such things.

fifty years old and sending you flowers and love notes?... hmm.. sorry to say it, and no offense to anyone of that age group.. but, thats a little creapy.. Like dating my dad....

He's a sweetheart and according to a mate he used to have a big crush on me, but I kinda felt that early on and made it clear there was no way anything would happen (that's kinda how I ended up with my 'bad boy', by tryin to avoid Mike at first...). I don't date men who are old enough to be my dad. At least I avoid it if I can. Joking flirting is cool though. But somehow, I seem to attract foreign older men. Even a couple of married ones. At least during my MA year...

So then, what's the attraction for the young woman? Charity? Sympathy?

From the man? Status. "I'm old, but I can still pull that hot looking girl half my age. Beat that!"

oh, but she did tell me not to drink any water in Africa.. I should stick to canned juices and pop....... wait for it.. you ready.... seriously put down any beverages you maybe drinking..apparently if I drink anything else in Africa i'll get aids..

Yes, and don't even dare to shake a man's hand. You'll get pregnant. Wear gloves.

belmondo wrote in post #2222128
And what do women 'that age' do to cling to their fleeting youth?

Liposuction, tummy tucks, and lie about their age?

We buy expensive cremes that tell us we'll not get wrinkles, put makeup on, dye our hair, make sure we earn money so we don't have a man who'll tell us what to spend money on, buy designer stuff and date younger men when we hit 40.

A large percentage of these women are widows. Their husbands worked themselves to death trying to set up the lifestyle these dowagers now enjoy. More than a few of them have male 'personal assistants' who follow them around, dote on them, and tend to their every whim.

Who says you need love?

Love's overrated. I'll have a boytoy when I turn 50.

No kidding

What is the backup plan if you're short on money though?

Bloody good looks, worship the woman and have good stamina...

I actually learned to use the search engine to plow through monolithic threads. Go to advanced search, enter your keywords, select "Show as POSTS" instead of show as threads (default), select the forum you know the thread exists in. This'll take you straight to the candidate posts, or at least within a couple of pages of them.

Ooh, I learnt something new now! First the multiquote feature, now searching posts. Cool.

We are...the question is; is it really that bad? We don't dream about cows in sheep skin at least!

I think cows in raven's clothing would be far worse...(i.e. "moo nevermore"? oh please)

whoa there a minute! since when do most people dream of cows in the bathroom???
I'll have my pointy faced cows in the field and in the barn, thank you very much! No pointy faced cows int the bathroom! sometimes scary clowns in barrel thongs in parking garages. it is not pleasant. long story so will save for antoher day. just needed nyquil. back to bed for another hour.

I'm older than my wife. I think the attraction was basically curiosity. As in: "Would his mental illness clear up on its own, or would radical electro-shock therapy be needed when he's older? And if the latter, would I be in control of the voltage lever?"

Monopoly money, and a very near sighted gal.

There was a twist in the time/space continuum, and Wu's oddly dressed cows sucked them up with scrambled eggs and jam.

Ehh...I don't get it; red cow - where?

Permagrin wrote in post #2222478
On that thread that Dan posted, the comments were that the cow was too saturated or too red...then Dan, in his infinite wisdome, mooed...I'm sure it was a wholesome moo but to moo, to someone who doesn't really speak the language (as seems the case) it can be taken wrong. For all we know, he could have proposed? Or offered to fix the cat or something equally embarrassing...

Woolburr wrote in post #2222520
Well...if she wants to marry me for my moo...I suppose I could neuter her cat.

Yes, Claire...things are continuing to spiral faster and faster out of control around here. When we have all completely lost our marbles, I am going to lock this thread

There is no assigned moderating here, Lisa. We all jump in to all forums and keep our 1000 eyes open. Somehow I got caught up in this thread and I can't seem to find my way out!!!

the real question is do they make sense, or are you finally understand what they are going on about?

I feel like we should all be doing the Time Warp...

I forgot I promised Tina I'd show a bit of my area.

First collage is from Alingsås, it's to the, ehum, left, of my home town. It's a very cute pittoresque city. Brick roads and such. To the, ehm, right, we have Gothenburg which is the 2nd largest city in Sweden. Very compact place. Not as beautiful as Stockholm, but still nice.

Yoda, you have your wisdom to woo women with. I'm sure you'll get something out of that.

Haha cool Yeah, look on the bright side..

Ok, I think I have ADD, you people need to quit with the multi-quote thing, lol

Who just threatened to lock this thread? I thought we were changing titles?

Confused and flustered. Me.

Besides, didn't you already have a wife, so you should be all happy and content.
