It would appear, if I take to heart what I've been reading of late, that we mens is not highly thought of by a number of the wimmins here.

It would appear we male animals of the American persuasion, care more for cars than good health, tend to be alcoholics, inattentive, ungentlemanly, insensitive, in poor health, likely unhygienic, dress like thugs and slobs in retirement, are impotent, only want nurses, cooks and housemaids (French uniforms optional), not wives, aren't the least bit attracted to or interested in women our own ages and are lower on the food chain than males elsewhere.

I propose we have our own forum on which we can beat our chests, drag our knuckles, grunt unintelligibly, guzzle adult beverages, scratch, chew and spit, pass gas and snore with abandon as we wallow in yesteryear's fashions.

Did I miss anything?

What say you?

You got that right. What more can be said?

Sit around all day in their undershirts like Humphrey Bogart, smoking, drinking, and watching the tube.

How about "Senior men are interested in Senior women only as nurses or purses."

Now how did I know wimmins would provide more responses than the guys? Y'all just can't help yerselves.

Besides sittin' around in our underwear like long-dead actors, in addition to the other things we'll also be comparing the relative merits, or lack thereof, of the wimmin in our lives when we have the time between those time we're whoopin' 'n hollerin' at and about younger ones.

Real men like dogs, guns, and pickups.

Real men like women who can drive a stick shift, saddle a horse, and handle a gun just as well as they can or better.

Real men may also read Latin and French.

Real women go shopping and end up buying things for their men.

Real men accompany their wives to quilting shows.

Real men and real women both try to let the other one sleep when the puppy needs to go out at 4 A.M.

I am laughing so hard I can't breathe! I knew it too. You "old geezers" still have your sense of humor; a very attractive trait in anyone of any gender.

But if yer not overly attached to fast cars (fast wimmin's OK unless yer married), then ya gotta at least have a yard tractor and some attachments. Bonus points an' braggin' rights if it's a John Deere; or at least that's what I told my wife when I bought mine.

So far none of you qualify for this forum because you are not obnoxious enough.

although you might earn a few points for the tractor.

Not a one of you have mentioned flying off to Vegas for gambling, that would qualify for a few points.

BTW, my English husband thinks American men who love big cars are NUTS. Also nuts are American men who have smallish cars with huge engines, just ask HIM. He says in England you could get the small car and have a small, efficient engine but in the US they all want BIGGER everything. I try to tell him differently but in the end, I have to agree.

He's not perfect though. He loves planes. He's getting his pilot's license. A lot of the men around here own their own planes and they take him up and one is teaching him to fly.

He thinks it's CRAZY that they all have their own planes-- what a waste--but he would go in with a few others on the USE of a plane that they own jointly.

When he lived in England he was content to hang out at the airport and take Pictures of planes and keep a log. Must be the influence of the local American men!
