I would just like to add that I have made great strides in understanding this unspoken subsonic-harmonic undercurrent language of women, but only on a "teach the chimp sign-language" level so far. It's just that my wife is the first one I've ever really cared enough to try and figure it out for.
Oh, also: just because you figured out that asking "Has NYPD Blue started yet?" while standing in the shadow of the stair bannister with your old hockey jersey on and a look of slight malaise on your face means (to her) "I validate your womanhood and have sweaty rhino love on my mind for later" with [b]this[/b] woman, does not mean that it's transferable to any other woman. It all starts again from zero, bud. |

Quoted: Keep lick'n that MEG'R and it will shock you... Ok, I'll add one last thing. We are Battle "E" proficient, and we get the mission accomplished even though we are undermanned. It just means alot less duty sections than we would like, and more watches per person. Each person has to be that much more qualified because of it. And because of all those things, crew morale is low. But I believe that crew morale is low onboard any naval vessel except those floating cities that cannot ever seem to be undermanned. .... "Sea-babies" I love it (Sea-babies) !!!!! I served on five different subs and only set-foot on one other Navy ship, a destroyer, once. I really have little knowledge of how the other 96% (at the time) of the Navy works. Of the five subs none, none ever had low morale. I do believe it's easier to maintain crew morale within smaller units. Everyone is involved and knows at least most of what's going on. When I would call for a translator to translate underwater telephone conversations(UQC)it's kind of hard for the rest of the crew to pretend none are on board. As I understand it the push is on to have females on submarines. It's simply impossible for me to imagine the effect on a crew submerged for 70-90 days. [smoke] |

Oh boy, did Jarhead nail it or what? What we have here is a failure to communicate. Which reminds me of another joke I heard Bill Engvall tell. He and his wife are sitting on the couch watching TV, and the wife says, "We're out of bread." Now if a guy says that to another guy, what he means is don't bother going into the kitchen to make a sandwich because we're out of bread. Now I can appreciate a guy telling me that because he saved me the time and trouble of going in the kitchen to make a sandwich because there's no bread.
But when a woman says that to a man, what she [i]really[/i] means is, "Go to the store and get some bread." Damn, if she wanted me to go to the store and get some bread, why didn't she just say so! Because women speak a different language, and we're supposed to understand. It's like guys have to be mind-readers. And conversations like this happen all the time around my house. her: Honey, do you mind if I go to the mall for a little while? me: No (in my typical one-word answer fashion) her: Why not? Do you have something to do? me: You asked me if I minded and I said No. her: No you don't want me to go, or no you don't mind? me: No, I don't mind. her: Oh okay, I thought you said no, you didn't want me to go. me: I don't mind if you go. You asked me a question and I answered it. Go ahead. I don't mind. Really. Take off. I'll watch the kids. Have a good time. Could you bring home a six-pack on your way home? [;)] Notice I didn't say, "I'm out of beer." [;)] |

An absolutely true story of how I found out I was getting a divorce.
Wife: "We're out of dishwashing detergent for the dishwasher." Fool(me): I'll walk next door and borrow some until tomorrow. (Fool gets up and walks toward door.) Wife: "I want a divorce." Many times I've attempted to tie the detergent to the divorce. No luck. [smoke] |

Wow, this thread has degenerated more into a "why are all you guys still single" topic. I see a lot of angry bitter guys here...
Miss Magnum mentioned that "she's gotta get her's" so to speak. That may be a key issue in why some relationships last Vs. fail, but how is it an issue in the initial selection stage? Surely you cant walk into a bar, church, gun range and tell by looking which guys are the better lovers. Also enjoying sex is mostly mental. I think most women would enjoy sex more with a clumsy handsome guy than a technically skilled ugly guy. I think if a guy is attentive and willing to learn and it's still not working for the woman, then that woman needs to find out what is going on in her head that is preventing her enjoyment. Someone else mentioned the Alpha male /confidence thing. Young women 18-23, have a hard time telling the difference between self confidence and a loud personality that creates an illusion of self confidence. They also have a hard time telling the difference between quiet confidence and shyness. My wifes friend is in her early 30's, I'm sure she can tell the difference by now and I'm sure she has figured out what she needs in the sack by now, but she still "cant find a man". |

Early 30's huh...
Well, I'm in my early 20's, and I don't mind an older woman. I'm a single sailor whos been underway for a while, so tell her to give me a call. [;)] If you were hinting earlier that she isn't the fairest in the land, it all feels the same when the lights go out. [:K] |

Women out number men by a good percentage. It has nothing to do with births which is like less than a percent.
How many guys are in jail vs. women? How many more are ex-felons? How many men have serious jobs vice the un-employed or un-skilled laborers? Guys are still expected to provide for the family which is something that can be $hown in public. I found that when I had my eyes opened and went to the single bars again I could pick and choose my ladies pretty easy. I'd dress well, have a clean shave and a haircut and I work for a living which made me more attractive than 75% of the guys in the club. Knowing how to carry on a conversation (being sober enough!) made for plenty of smiles and follow-up dates. As I got older I didn't mind single mothers as long as they didn't have too many issues in their luggage. The ladies need someone to trust and be honest back at them. I was always up front about sex and trust me, the want "theirs" too. I've been married for nearly 15 years now and still enjoy the chase. I enjoy a flirt and enjoy each smile returned. There isn't anything wrong with looking ... [:)] ... it's touching that can be painful. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Women will stop being interested in sex, however, if their lover isn't making sure they get theirs. [;)] Or they get a wedding ring on their finger. Either way, daddy ain't getting none. Can you give a big amen to my brothers here! Once that ring goes on, forget gettin' any anymore. I'm in the process of my second divorce -- 6 years together, and I ain't had none the past 2-1/2 years. My friends are surprised I put up with it that long. |

Minus the nine years I wasted with my ex - I have spent the last 36 years waiting for a woman who enjoys; guns, skydiving, base jumping, rock climbing, camping and back packing I have decided she isnt alive and have settled for Jake and Loki - my two labs.

I would have to agree that many women (and yes men too) often have that "there will be a better one than this come along" attitude towards datingn (see posted joke above in this thread). Too many people think a relationship is just supposed to "happen" rather than having to [b]work[/b] at it.

I solved the problem [b]that[/b] time by packing to move to the boat. That got her attention. Of course, that's 3 years ago now, I can see it heading down that road again. Unfortunately, the boat is in southern CA...[:(] |

... I guess I just don't "get it", and I'm not talking about pussy either.
... I choose to live single. Was married for quite a long stretch and been in and out of relationships but right now in my life I actually [b]love living alone[/b]. Casual dating is OK but no commitments whatsoever. ... When I get up to go to work she has to get up to go, well, wherever she goes! |
