Just tell her how beautiful she is in what she is wearing.

Sometimes....This has to be done carefully..or I get "your a liar!! It makes me look fat!" Some days you just can't win! I'm joking...Plus I think all her dresses are black with pointy hoods!?

Hello, kcm. Thanks for the affirmation. How did you summer project turn out? Forgive my memory, but I think it was something about flowers?

Hey WD, sent you a PM for a reply.

Not a problem for me. My wife knows that looks mean nothing to me. I've always wondered how people can say how it's what's inside that counts, then go around talking about how people look.

And if something doesn't look good on my wife, she doesn't get upset if I say I'm not real fond of it. But usually, she looks great to me!

That one is a tough one. What is she really asking...
Someone has pointed out that a woman for example tells her husband My friend snubbed me today.
A guy will present a solution. What the guy does not understand is the woman does not want a solution. She wants to talk about what happened and she wants the guy to listen. Not in a bad way like shut up This was presented by some sort of expert.
I need to run this idea about women as opposed to men by the resident woman.
A guy gets insulted or wronged and he tells his buddies I'm gonna kick his tail. Buddies say No don't do that. It's not worth it or that's what you oughta do.
They kick around solutions until there is some agreement. By then the anger is dissolved and beer is consumd lol.
I think women often talk with other women to decide how they should feel about a matter. They take a different route to a solution.
Men have a problem and their mind goes straight into solve it mode. Later they talk about it.
Not all women ask a lot of questions obviously.
How do you figure out which dress she wants to wear and affirm her opinion... I got to ponder this. There has to be a way out.
By the way did you notice differences in your female bosses versus males?

Women want to look the best they can for their man. The trick for me is how to ask the question. Not "Does this make me look fat? or Which one should I wear?" Get dressed and ask "How do I look or What do you think?" If I get a "Looks good" I'm cool with it. If he hesitates, I change.

==========

Now days my comment is: " You're going too ? "

Once you make it past ...Broken dishes,broken furniture, tore up cars, etc......Then it's smooth sailing from there! There is nothing left to argue about! or...break! I'm not joking

She broke all her dishes one night..."I'm yelling..Break em all!! What are we going to eat off of Einstein?" Yaaa I think she tore up the whole kitchen after that comment.

I thought when she was out of stuff to break was when you wind up dead?

We had some bad ones the first few years... But now ? Argue about nothing...

She smashed the windsheild out of my car...I went to work, my boss laughed.."arguing again!". That one she had every reason..

 

[The1rod]

Well I'm glad you made it through! Sometimes bad fights can just mean there's alot of passion in the relationship, just gotta find a better way to express it than fighting!

Alcohol plays a part in that too... That was our late teens early 20's....After you make it past the nonsense, you kind of learn a few things. We both came from broken homes and didn't know how to communicate any different..We just did what we saw or were taught.

But now? I don't know too many other couples that get along any better. Probably none!

When I read this earlier today, I was so tempted to reply, but I have a deadline at work. It worked out good, because I had time to think about it. Women are not cut from the same cookie cutter the same as men are not cut from the same cookie cutter. Though, both are wired differently. They may have similarities but not everyone comes from the same mold. I don't fit in your mold. Quite the opposite, I watch movies and have to explain what's going on most of the time. When it comes to fixing stuff, your right, I don't know what's going on, but I don't ask a zillion questions either. I silently stand by to give a helping hand if I can and get barked at when I don't foresee the next move. I have on a few occasions solved the problem and was the hero for it. And earlier today I was going to say that I didn't know any of my female friends to be like what you all are describing. But I do. I have one friend that fits your mold and I can only take so much of her myself. I love her dearly, though.

I suggest you make every first date a movie so you can see how that goes. Then a project, etc. The key is to find a partner that shares the same interests and becomes your best friend. MR Wd and I are together constantly. We work together, fish together, camp together, volunteer together, ride four wheelers together, just about do everything. He does not get into the bottle digging or metal detecting, but I only hunt on our property and he has helped me several times.

You are right. I was talking about a couple of women and exagerrating to boot lol. Besides we knew you would read our posts
Everyone is different and we all have quirks. Well I am perfect but that is another story
I haven't been to a movie in so long. I like watching movies at home. But I don't even do that much.
Being best friends would be very important.
I hope you weren't upset with us

It's all in fun! My wife isn't on here or she'd have a list of husband cracks too!

I said I was running it by her. What?

 

[Nitric]

while i'm thinking and she's laughing in the other room.."remember when I dropped you with a kick and you were crying?"

She was taking taekwondo(spellimg) I ticked her off and she dropped me right in the middle of the living room. I know guys aren't supposed to admit this...I did cry!!! I thought my side was in my throat. She snapped me in the side with her toes and I felt it in my chest. I could barely talk and it took everything I had to try to get.."don't ever do that again!" out.

So..Stray away from firecracker attitudes with self defense!!

Okay...what do you think? I'm not sure men are really conditioned to hold back their feelings as much anymore. And as far as that goes aren't women feeling like they got to be careful in the workplace about showing their emotions lest it be seen as weakness?
Guys will have serious talks with their friends. But don't you think guys tend to go right to figuring out how to fix a problem because they are just guys?

Well yeah that would probably turn out real well...

 

[Hillbilly Prince]

But...guys. About this sharing interests thing.
Do we really want our wimmin looking at wimmin with us?

I'm not sure about that. Two bosses up from me was a women. I don't know too many that could have done her job. I doubt I could have. She was in charge of a lot. I was in her office a couple times where she broke down. I never viewed it as weakness as much as the company gave her way too much for anyone person to handle. I had a unique position where I really had no rules and did what I wanted, within reason. So..I was always in her office trying to figure out how we were going to handle some of the issues along with my boss. I don't know too many guys that could have done her job.

That may be a unique situation..and I don't have much experience past that working for a woman.

I'm going to say no to your last question...That depends on experience. I've never had college so I know what I taught myself or was taught on the job. There were guys that were higher up that only knew what the "Book" said and didn't care about the most direct, cheapest way to do it. They knew more because of their books and wouldn't consider or listen to anything else. There were a lot of guys that you would listen to at meetings thinking...They have no clue!

I have limited experience in that area so I really don't know? My Mom was a "Professional" for a major company. She was also in management. She is very direct. She is also a hardened person when need be. Or was at that time.
