Feeling sorry for men

You mean John Lennon and not Anya, I hope, WW.

Idiot!

BUT, I do think women are stronger in different ways and men are less tough than they'd have us believe.

After all it was a man who wrote these lines

"Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man"

Exactly WW

Do I feel sorry for men? Of course not. They are quite able to vigorously pursue their own interests. In an equal relationship one doesn't feel sorry for the other!

Elegran, Freudian slip maybe, another case of brain v fingers not working together

janeayressister LOL, you obviously don't know my sense of humour yet -- I do enjoy banter.

GandTea ...your post that I commented upon was the one about the Lingerie Catalogues. I thought it was a windup and it was.
NanaandGrampy I did make assumptions based upon few paragraphs.
Life with my DH goes up and down.

G&T Surely you didn't really mean to post "Surly women buy lingerie to please men . . ." If women are being surly, they won't be in a mood to please anyone!

It's taken us 53 years, but we are in a better place in our 70's than we have ever been for a host of reasons. As you say there have been humps and hollows on the way (mostly caused by teenage children) but we have come through.

exactly Gandtea

NanaandGrampy Good on yer ! Live & love long.

Nothing perfect about my life Janey but as you are basing your assumption on just a couple of paragraphs I can see why you might think that.

It's taken us 40 years to get to this place. But don't be misled we have had ups and downs but worked through it . I stand by my comments though , I've obviously got 'the one' .

He doesn't always get it right but then neither do I. He's still far from emotionally clueless. I obviously trained him well.

I don't believe you can generalise.

Are you taking the P.... Depends on which post you are talking about. If you mean the last couple or so, of course it's a wind up.
If you mean the one, Wed 22-Jun-16 19:24:33, then I was deadly serious.
Mrs P may think me emotionally clueless, but I do try.

janeayresiser I don't think he is (G&Tea that is )

Lullydully* have you watched Peppa Pig? Daddy Pig is an absolute numpty (apparently) - Peppa is always deriding him. And George is always crying.

NanaandGrampy sorry but you do come over as a bit perfecto. GandTea you are taking the P*
I have also been married for over 40 years and although my husband was far from being clueless in his job,( he being a highly paid Professional) , I still think he is clueless when it comes to being emotionally intelligent and perceptive. I don't know anyone who lives in such blissful harmony as NanaandGrampy either. All my friends say their husbands are emotionally clueless.

No problem. I'll settle for just the green wellies.

I do have some green wellies, but as for the rest, forget it

Oh I don't know green wellies with a basque could do it for me.

That'll have John Norris beat hands down then, GandTea!

I help Mrs P by getting all the lingerie catalogues I can, I find the Ann Summers one particularly good.

B******

Jalima, Surly women buy lingerie to please men, look sexy and inviting, so it's only sensible for us to give our approval.

I mean... who drinks Coke anyway
not me, it is vile stuff
DH doesn't drink it either though - oh dear, we must have similar taste
