Did you grandmother and mother work full time?

ok, fair enough swan lake, you and i disagree, neither of us are going to change our minds.

so, lets say you meet your "angelina jolie", and she blows your mind.

you decide "she's the one", and break your promise to yourself not to marry.

you sign your prenups, happy about the stipulations about weight, size, hair, money.

fair enough.

god forbid, 5 years down the line, there's a terrible accident, maybe she has her legs amputated, or something.

is that fair grounds to say " oh, i'm sorry hon, two less legs is counted as unattractive" ?

say she gets cancer, and has to have her perfect breasts removed. will you be on the next train ? you can't be attracted to her because she's imperfect ?


although i'd never have one, i understand the point of a prenup to protect assets, to deter golddiggers etc, however, i definitely don't think it's right to have a prenup which basically insists that the wife retain "trophy" status.

Oh, we also speak to people we barely know of our sexual history and our beaches, even the non - nude beaches have lots of topless women.

Have I said how much I love Europe?
Let's be glad you're there and not here since American women are apparently hideous. We already know what you think of English women.

You are either French, Swedish (no I think the Swedes have more class), or Dutch or Danish.

Maybe this leads to a decrease of sexual frustration: women here aren't ashamed of their body because mother taught her how beautiful is body is and in turn, men don't have to jump mountains to have sex; which means, there are lots of one night stands.

Man, I love Europe. This is turning into a mantra .

Yes. Before my grandmother retired, she worked for ~50 years (I forget exactly) as a pharmacist, my mom currently works as an administrative assistant and previously as a librarian.

Hello, Europe is many different countries. The Brits would not want to be lumped in with your 'weird mother and father conversations." They have more class than to talk about this.

America was not founded by Puritans.

Secondly, if you belong to the part of Europe that thinks Gerard Depardieu is hot, then we will never agree..

I also know many people who think your "Angelina" is UGLY...

I also bet you are probably just a kid...you write like an adolescent. (A lonely one with no mate).

Good post. You must be British. No self respecting Brit is going to want to listen about Mom's private parts from his Dad...

America was founded by many nations, including the Spanish who 'aren't prudes or puritans.' (Florida).

The Brits aren't prudes...take a look at page 3 girls and some of their magazines like "Viz" which is damn funny.

Back on topic...OP, get some self respect and find a real man or go for the prenup, get the money and enjoy!
