Does this extend to all your (and by extension, any woman's) undeveloped ovum? If so, then what you guys are saying makes sense. Or could at least serve as a useful model.


IMO, this is why dating is confusing for those of us who have no intention of fully developing any more ovum. The dance seems more like ritual than reality unless there is some kind of "baby". I think when older women complain that older guys are just looking for a "nurse or a purse" what they are saying is "Spend my golden years babying an old man. Highly unlikely. Where did I put my purple dress and my red hat? I'm going to kick *ss at bridge club tonight."

A good commander can lead poor troops but he'd prefer to lead good troops. He might occasionally wonder why good troops seem so few and far between.

Of course that's pretty puppy of him, so he might oughta stop.


LOL- Of course a monkey-girl like me might argue that a little bit of mutiny now and then just demonstrates the presence of the spirit necessary for a little bit of sumthin' sumthin' else every now and then. If I don't cause a man to at least roll his eyes upward to Jesus for assistance on a semi-regular basis then I am not really doing my part in the relationship.

Speaking of the old eye-rolling devil. I feel another GP anecdote would be appropriate at this juncture. I was talking to him about whether he thought the male/female dichotomy could be maintained in a relationship in which the man was the househusband and the woman earned most of the money. He said "Yes." and explained by saying "I will be the man so if a woman and I came to an agreement that I would be the house husband, we wouldn't reach that agreement unless it had been clearly established that I would be clearly maintaining my role as the man in that situation. If she started to behave as though this wasn't the case, the agreement would be null and void."
