With the dresses can you flip a yoke neck cover over one shoulder slip a shoulder strap and breast feed infants? That point is moot in my case, but that is one of the designs I have sewn. Or don't modern women bear children anymore?
If I got pregnant at my age, I'd be running down the road screaming with my hair on fire!
There are no rocky woodlands trails where I live, nor would I care to be on one.
Apparel of which you speak of has no place in my world. I am not saying that either world is better, they are just different worlds.
You really shouldnt impose standards on all of us dictated by your lifestyle, its a bit narrow-minded imho.

This expectation is really hard on the men. Because men's friendships in general are not as close as a woman, many men are lonely. Men's friendships are best described as buddies, activity partners, and sports participants. They are not likely to provide the deep friendship that most women have with their close girl friends.

Many men tell me that while they love their wife and enjoy the the time they spend with each other, they would like to communicate in a personal and close way to other human beings. But again, the type of relationships men have with each other do not allow the type of closeness they need. There are things that the men would like to talk about that their male buddies will not discuss and their spouse just have no interest in.

What is a man to do? His social and conversational needs can not be met by just one woman. He loves his wife but feels unfulfilled. Married Men need close women friends! Don't you agree?
While I don't think anyone can be everything to their SO, there should be a great deal in which you can talk about together and share.

For example: I don't get the same spark in my eye when my husband talks about the amount of weights he can benchpress or squat but I listen and offer my interest, albeit very limited. It's a topic discussed much better with his workout friends.

I do not want my husband having a conversation with another woman that he could not have with me.

I agree. I think I can still have female friends, but if I can't have those same conversations with my Wife....then I am probably being inappropriate.

LOL yeah so would my wife of 48 years and missing 'parts' which evidently you missed reading. And I don't impose nuthin on no body ever! In fact i would be upset to see anyone in my fiddleheads swap gathering fiddle heads.

I am simply saying there are other ways to live beside be cut out of a cookie cutter.

I got a Bro in law with a cookie cutter Harley , living in a cookie cutter house as every house in the area looks the same, all complete with cookie cutter wives living in them, and they all drive little remarkably gray bubble cars all from the same cookie cutter.

I don't care if other people want that life style, I just don't. Ya know i made 15,000 miles in a sigle motorcycle ride with my wife. There are not many who would want to do that and settin about in a fat easy chair dreaming of it and doing it are 2 different things. In the easy chair that is easy, in the real world it can be work at times.

Most certainly most people will not do that, and most wouldn't want to.

When we got back after being out on the road for 10 months, my car was out of inspection, and out of being registered. Well I got the registration fixed easy enough, but I had 10 days to go get a inspection sticker, and the instant i tried to drive i got stopped and had to explain why I had 10 days to get it, and then hear a lecture on how no one should ride a motorcycle for 10 months and cross the USA 2 1/2 times.

I was told by the officer no one cn just to do that, because no none is alert enough. Well telling me this news after the fact wasn't getting thru my thick skull at all.

I never tell anyone what to do ever, but at times I might suggest a few things. That usually comes under topics that have been requested, and the other times is if safety is inolved. That might be say if you decided to go camping in the extreme cold, a place have been many times before and like to be. I am talking about below 0, well below 0 where my wife has been too. Both of us have all our toes and fingers still, something not eveyone else who has been there can say.

I have no idea where you are, not even a rough country, so I can't say much. But then I can say i don't like or care for city life a bit, and will go to great lengths to avoid them. I find them to be artifical, and get lost in the concrete jungle where for me nothing makes any sence.

A place dainty items can be brought out to play in, like high heels shoes for women, a device of crulety if you ask me, and I never wore any, not even my wifes one pair.

But me telling anyone what to do is a big error. The point is there are other ways to live. Another point is my wife wanted a primitive man and she found one.

kshe95girl , So I peeked in your profile. You look similar to a sis in law I have. Pretty attractive if i say so and i do. To be fair, i uploaded a pic in my profile, and you fur sure won't find it cookie cutter !

Maybe the one woman in the world that wanted a guy like me found him, I don't know, but i am willing to bet not one gal who ventures to that pic would want me, but then I don't have to care about that. right?

I never said that men could not have the pleasant deep conversations they were having with their male friends with their wife. What I am saying is the men may wish to get another woman's perspective on the topics being discussed at home.

You people must be really boring expecting only your spouse to have interesting conversation!

What in the world is it you are asking then? I'm seriously confused.

What things am I supposed to talk to this other woman about, that I won't talk to my wife about?

Where did anyone say that?

I never said men could not have female friends, etc. but he should not have conversations with them that he could not also have with me. It's fine to get another females perspective on something as long as it doesn't cross the line into inappropriate. I guess it all depends on where you draw your line in the sand to interpret inappropriate.

However, given that your name is email lover and you are emailing a married man....if you're looking for someone to hop on your bandwagon, I'm not interested.
