The list is too short:

Subject: The husband store.....and something extra


Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.



PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Easy one! As fast as she lets you. You have to decide if the prize is worth the wait.

If you're not happy with yourself then you are bringing undue baggage to a potential relationship. It is hard enough to build a solid relationship without the psychotic baggage. Physician heal thyself, then reach out to others.
I am pleased to be me and treasure my friends who agree.

Your reasoning is faulty. "The prize" just may not be worth as much as you value it. A strong, independent woman is truly a prize. A domineering controlling ***** is not. Seek balance including between men and women and there will be no need for labels.

Or it is possible that he was smitten by your beauty and depressed that the smite was not returned.

What?

No I'm not married!
People here and on other dating sites always say **** like that. Not worth the effort to repudiate. I just go with the flow.

Men seem to go directly for sex where women tend to go toward romance.

I guess the real question is do you older women like sex for sex or only as a part of romance? (and I was married and she said that all the sex was for me so that I'd be more romantically inclined)

I did and I didn't like the answer. So I'm shopping for a better one

Why is it that women after 50 are more interested in long walks and holding hands than they are in sex?

NOt to be the pessimistic weasel here but we are all players. And it is a game. Just some games last longer than others. My first lasted 22 years, this one has lasted 15, my parents' lasted 45, my friend's lasted 6 months. The length of the game is determined by the truth used to set the rules.

And the light you see is a mirror

Amen to that! Textspeak make the texter sound STUPID!

Yes but if the sub has no skills then it truly is abusive on the part of the dom. I've always thought that if she had to depend on me as opposed to choosing to do so, then if I would die, how would my children be cared for? Both parties need to be confident, knowledgeable, and able to "go it alone" but freely choose to stay married.

Greed!
The only true victims in a divorce are the children, and it's a shame that differences of opinions in raising ans rearing them often is the cause for the divorce. Big Catch 22

If a hook-up is in the mix of finding a friend then, hell, I'm all for it. If a friend ship never gets to a "relationship" and never becomes sexual then I'm all for it. If it starts and ends with only sex and we never talk, then I'm all for it.

How can you place a destination like "the beach" on a social function. The destination is never reached it is only approached.

Excuse me?
What's your point?

I like a woman to depend on me and to view me a "Prince Charming", ready and able to provide for her. BUT, I want her to do this because she freely chooses it not because she has to, being a submissive slob incapable of making a decision on her own.

The only fair way to adjudicate a divorce is to sell ALL the mutual assets and split the money in half. When children are involved there should be a "state minimum" of support, no frills or income consideration, each party pays half of that minimum and are on their own to make a "home" for their children separately.

Marriage has become a social, government, and tax institution that only deals with societies interest. It should be a religious institution separated from the state. That being said, there are a few considerations here:
1-women's liberation has all but abolished alimony, so the only recourse is shared assets or child support.
2-women only have the power of life and death over a baby, so why is a man held financially responsible?

A pre-Nup is acceptable with the codicil of how the mutual assets are divided. Plan for the demise before the relationship begins and it just might last longer.
