Thread of Love 3.0

[Rylan]

Since having my name on something in LGP is either bad luck or bad news, version 3.0 will be without.

So much like the previous lost love threads, this one will again be a place to partake in the wealth of advice and knowledge that this board will occasionally provide.

So, lets not repeat history and get this thread deleted :)

If you're a guy, read this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Game-Penetrat ... s=the+game

If you're a girl, read this: http://www.amazon.com/Why-Men-Love-Bitc ... ove+********

Those books are actually pretty much the exact same book, just written for a male or female audience. Tells you everything you need to know

The wind howls like a hammer
The night blows cold and rainy
My love she’s like some raven
At my window with a broken wing

I know this is slightly off-topic, but the second book pitt linked made me think of it. I went to the DMV yesterday, and when I got out of my car the first thing I noticed was this woman screaming at her husband about something. They had their daughter with them, and she was probably about seven months pregnant with her second, but she had the total B-face.

I go inside, and she had to use that eye exam machine. She starts going on and on about how utterly disgusting it is that she has to use that, and about all of the bacterial risks, etc. Her husband is standing there with this look on his face like he wants to take his own life. She definitely just seemed like the kind of woman that probably has a solid income and just complains about everything.

What's the moral of this story? I can't figure out why men marry women like this. You can't tell me for a second she wasn't like this while they were dating or engaged. My wife is ridiculously chill (I would say more so than 99% of wives), and she has never changed for the six years I've known her.

Why do men marry women that it's plainly obvious they are either spoiled, stuck-up, snotty, B-wordy, etc? I'll never understand it.

id tell you, but its not board friendly. just know that the power of it makes some dudes loco and go broke-o

[shafnutz05]

haha, that's the obvious answer, but it's still sad to see. And now he is stuck for life.

if shes that way in marriage, imagine what she'd be like in divorce...he might just be choosing the lesser of two evils.

[pittsoccer33]

What I'm talking about is a Babe In Total Control of Herself. I don't know why anyone would want to deal with a mean person either.

They aren't even dating books - they're about understanding human emotion. They're about demonstrating value and demanding to be treated with a commensurate level of respect. They could be just as well about getting promoted as taking someone home from a club with you.

I don't think of it as playing a game (though it is fun). It's about creating attraction.

I heard on the radio that couples that split house hold chores 50:50 are more likely to get a divorce than those that don't. Thoughts?

[Froggy]

I've been dating this girl for about a month now. Going pretty well. She was a work friend at my old job, and apparently, she was always interested in me when we worked together. I had a girlfriend back then, so even though I had a thing for her too, I couldn't really pursue it.

So I lost that job, lost the girlfriend, but then this girl moved to China for 2 years. She got back over the summer, and we started catching up, and went out, and it's nice. She already knows me, so I don't have to pretend I'm not a screw up. The only real downside is that she is still looking for a job and her own place since she's been back from China. Not a deal breaker though.

the really interesting thing about this is kinda seeing how the universe puts people together. Maybe the reason I had that awful ex is to keep me from dating this girl 4 or 5 years ago, where we probably would have had to break up either after I got fired, or she moved to China. Like, if I was going to be with this girl, it would HAVE to be now, you know?

Anyway, last night was the litmus test. I made her watch Troll 2 with me and she enjoyed it.

we go by the pareto principle with chores: she does 80%, i do 20%. i cook 80% of the time, she eats 20% of the food.

works well so far.

That's interesting.

We don't really split chores 50:50 as a rule, and we never assign stuff. It's more just a casual attitude that if something needs done, just to do it (emptying the dishwasher, doing a load of laundry, etc). We both work, so it's not like she just sits at home all day. There are a couple things that only one of us does (her folding laundry, my sweeping/cleaning the floors) because we hate doing that particular thing.

I'll bet the reason behind that study is that women who tend to do the vast majority of the housework are more likely to be subservient types that feel like they should be in the "traditional housewife" role. And are thus less likely to feel enough independence to leave their husband if things aren't going well.

lol... my fiancee and I have particular chores that we do all the time (she cleans bathrooms, I take out garbage and handle the recycling... those are the two big ones), but it seems as though all the other chores we either do together or split. We do laundry together, we clean the kitchen and do dishes together, I cook more, but that's because I'm better at it and I like doing it. I'd say it's split pretty evenly.

[pittsoccer33]

whats the group consensus on dating more than one person at a time? i feel like this was much more common a generation or two ago, and nowadays it seems fairly taboo.

that was my thought as well. I also figured that if you're splitting things 50/50 there's more of a chance for one person to feel as though they are doing more work than the other and get bitter about it. Your explanation is much better though.

There's nothing wrong with this if it's out in the open that you are seeing a few different people and playing the field? However, if you are carrying on the impression that it's a monogamous relationship, it's reprehensible.

Just a bit of a complaint here. Married guys, either A) wear your wedding rings in public or B) don't flirt with single girls and then when they show interest tell them you're married.

In fact, it's not an OR situation. Do both, okay?

Inside is her's, outside is mine. Works out well becuase I spend my afternoons and evenings in the garage.. ahem.. "cleaning".

I think it's the women coming on to married men. I'm not "married" yet but as soon as I got engaged, chicks talked to me more.
