I'd like to dedicate this thread to Reality who nailed it on another thread for all of us long suffering blokes: NO CHICKS allowed here. You have equal pay now - so stay away from this thread.

Bring your huddled mass of complaints....

I am not allowed to go out between the hours of 5pm and 7pm because, and I quote, 'the baby needs to be fed, bathed and put to bed...' This rule pushes me out of after work drinks.

BUT, netball and supercircuit seem to be starting around 5.30 or 6pm twice weekly which means I am left with dealing with the toddler - which I dont mind - but I'd like to go to drinks at least once per fortnight.

Also, the 3 hours of afternoon nap (12.30 to 3.30pm) that the baby has should be construed as 'free time'. However, try to bring that one up against the charge of being time poor and the **** hits the fan.

Ahhh... the double standards.

LOL you've stirred up a hornets nest here Brad.

My mind just exploded with all the possible things i could write....
 
Ok, perhaps i'll provide one a day for eternity... ;)

1. My gf fails to do any research into things that should be researched and goes straight ahead and does them, or if she does manage to do some research and finds out that its probably not a good idea, she will go ahead anyway because she thinks its different for her/us etc.
 
My wife prefaces a bollocking with a touchy feely phrase such as 'I feel like you... ' or 'When you do that it makes me feel...' These are courtesy of my mother in law with the pyschology mumbo jumbo designed to bring down the tone of conflict...

HAHA ............... The joys of being young ......

Disclaimer: (In case my wife reads this thread)..My wife is almost perfect ! ;)


Brad, you've gotta put your foot down before its too late .............. Get the boyz to drop in unexpectedly a couple of times a week between 5 and 7, with some required refreshments, and create a bit of havoc ........... She will be begging you to go out after a couple of weeks .............problem solved!

Alternatively ...... just do what you're told ..... like the rest of us ...lol ...

hahaha. Psychologists have a lot to answer for.

For your kids sake and your wife's sake - go for a drink every now and then (or a game of squash or footy or poker or chess or whatever it is that gives you some socialisation and release away from the family).

Mothers definitely have the tougher gig in terms or work when it comes to child rearing - it is a massive job and takes so much energy, so constantly, I don't know how they do it - far more than a normal full time job - but they probably underestimate the sense of responsibility most dads feel in providing for wife and child (and the loss of freedom!).

Don't feel guilty about spending a bit of time being yourself outside of work and family imo. Similarly make sure you and your wife get out for some time just the two of you every now and then.

Kids are fantastic fun but they're also a lot of work and very demanding at the todder age, so its easy to lose track of yourself and your relationship amongst it all.
 
I've been separated for a year about to get divorsed.
I drink what I like whenever I like . I watch whatever I like on TV, I can wake up at 3am and watch TV in bed if I like.

Mate of mine just came over from Tassie for the weekend reckons I'm a bastatrd, we had a big session Friday night and he said "you can do this when ever you like" I said "yep"

Think I'll eat something beautifully bad for me , go to the casino for a while then go home pour a scotch and listen to music, loud. It's tough.:D
 
well, well, well.....where do l start


l ain't going to because it's going to open a can of worms like nothing else before.

LOL I'll drink to that, they only want you for your seed to have their kids then you look after everyone for the rest of your miserable life then die, they collect the insurance and travel the world telling the kids how hard it was for her all those years. Does that sound bitter ? Oh well another scotch and watch another great movie on TV. no Opra or other like crap around here any more.:)

Oh yes... the I'll say yes to that now and blame you for not reading my mind as I meant no trick.


Myself... I'll be an eternal bachelor, by choice thanks. No regrets thus far. In the long run I'm sure I'll save a heap of money, and will eventually go to the hookers when I'm too old for the youngins. Still probably work out cheaper. :D

You can say that again after they've finished making your life a misery they clean you out.

Much cheaoer to hire them by the hour in the beginning.

Something tells me this will be a long thread.

Ah, but Brad, you've forbidden any female contributions.
Suspect you might be surprised by any comments I'd make anyway.
Iwill await your permission to make an offering.:)
 
Man gets home, says:

"Quick, get me a beer before it starts"

He finishes it and says:

"Get me another one before it starts"

She says:

"Listen, you fat lazy c---, you walk in here and start barking orders!"

He says:

"F--- me, it's started..."
 
Apparently this was an ad in a New York paper or magazine...
One for you Mr Burns :D


What am I doing wrong?
Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25-year-old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least [a] half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.
Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a businessman who makes average around 200 - 250K. But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000K won’t get me to Central Park West. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she’s not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?
Here are my questions specifically:
- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms.
- What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won’t hurt my feelings.
- Is there an age range I should be targeting (I’m 25)?
- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the Upper East Side so plain? I’ve seen really “plain Jane” boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I’ve seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the East Village. What’s the story there?
- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows ”” lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?
- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY.
Please hold your insults ”” I’m putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I’m being up front about it. I wouldn’t be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn’t able to match them ”” in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth.


The response she got was as follows:
Dear Pers-431649184:

I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I’m not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said, here’s how I see it:
Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here’s why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party, and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here’s the rub ”” your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity … in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won’t be getting any more beautiful!
So, in economic terms, you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain: you’re 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35, stick a fork in you!
So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold … hence the rub … marriage. It doesn’t make good business sense to “buy you” (which is what you’re asking) so I’d rather lease. In case you think I’m being cruel, I would say the following: if my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It’s as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.
Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as “articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful” as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe, if you are as gorgeous as you say you are, that the $500K hasn’t found you, if not only for a tryout. By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn’t need to have this difficult conversation.
With all that said, I must ay you’re going about it the right way. Classic “pump and dump.” I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.
