I agree. Elliot Spitzer spent that much a day. Seems like a bargain.

I have to answer to my mother for that. Sometimes elderly women have a bird - of sorts - but they are from a different era.

However, among males over 40, this is not a concern. Some women my age think we are shirkers, but that's their problem. Funny when they are divorced. I suppose THEY came out okay.

Like I said..I enjoy being married and if I break up with this one I'll have another one show up to re-train me so I fit HER idea of a slovenly idiot.

I am now actually looking forward to hearing loss tho' since I found out from my uncle that he turns his hearing aid off as soon as he walks in the door of his house....

"Where have YOU been all day?"

"Huh?"

'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY??"

"Say what?"

"Forget it you old bastard!"

Besides, it can be really embarrassing when their daughter's eyes roll around in their head like a pinball machine. So don't let this go to your head. You've obviously worked on the wrong attributes! Work on your inner a$$hole. Just don't let her mother see that.
ROFL!!!! It's amazing how many of those my mum thought would be "perfect for me" turned out to be gay! Mums back then had no sense of such things -- heh, there was no mention of anything like gaydar! So, when they encountered guys who were handsome, neat, successful, liked to cook, decorate and shop, they didn't even question WHY these men weren't "taken" already.

who does not want to be loved and cared for, its genderless.
law suits , #1 cause of reluctance to marriage.
way too many avoidable divorces. too many people turning their resentment into cash.

"[A Russian woman] ... will stop a horse at full gallop,
Enter a burning hut ..."

Nikolay Nekrasov (1821-1878), Russian Women

Yep, that's the flaw in that whole mail-order bride thing. A woman who can actually stop horses at full gallop and stroll into burning houses isn't likely to take orders from some guy who thought she looked hot in a two-piece.

But I do think that most men, as they get older (and more mature - usually ) start to look at it from a different perspective - one that allows them to actually consider it.
I agree with this- my mom told me to wait - to enjoy life, see some things and have experiences single before getting tied down.

Marriage in some respects, makes me nauseous, but in others I'm looking forward to it.

To say nothing of the 70 cents to the dollar that women receive as opposed to men for the same work

Y'all STILL get off easy, in the end.
