Topic: question for other members with a significant other

[bucky katt]

do any of you (ladies or gents) have a problem getting a simple yes or no answer for a simple yes or no question? like ohhhhhhhhhh..........i dont know.......asking your spouse if theyre hungry and would they like you to egt dinner started and instead of a yes or no, you get a 30 second long discourse on their digestive tract? when a simple yes or no would suffice? am i the only one that gets aggravated sometimes with this? am i just being an #$%*? inquiring minds want to know

[tramp]

years ago my wife was like that
then she that an i don't know was a vote in my favor

[BobbyR]

My wife aggravates me, and other times she makes up for it. Unless you want to live alone you will have to put up with another person.  Man up and let it go in one ear and out the other, God gave men that ability in his infinite wisdom.

men are from mars
woman from venus

[bucky katt]

it's likely that were both just feeling aggravated today. i'd never let this get in the way of my marriage, too many folks let little #$%* like this end a marriage. this was just me being curious

[HavocTurbo]

Every woman/girl/whatever you call them has always responded to me with an explosion of words.

I have no idea why.

After about a year into a relationship though.... All I hear about is too much time spent at the bike shop.

LOL, funny post. I learned along time ago, women want to talk about stuff, and men just fix the stuff and move on.

I stopped trying to work them out years ago, everything is better now....

i think i'll be happier if i just do that myself. been married 11 years and i still cant figure her out some days 

[Nikkisixx]

I've never met a woman that speaks binary   the thought process for them is far to organic.  Would not want to marry one if she did though.

My wife does that all the time!  The real problem is that she seems to think I'm a lot more complicated than I actually am, so she reads into what I'm asking thinking that I'm asking a much more complex question than I am, when really I'm asking a very basic question and looking for a very basic, short answer. 

I just wait until she's done and then repeat the question, which usually results in getting the short answer I was looking for in the first place.  She just has so many words she needs to get out of her system before she can get the real answer out, I guess.

We're perfect for each other, though.  In social situations she takes care of all the conversation, and I can just stand there drinking my beer and occasionally throw in a word or two to clarify or emphasize certain things.  It works out great!

[BobbyR]

Cagney was a real man. I was at his grave yesterday.

[Damfino]

Oooooh...isn't that Erin Gray? Super hot Space mama from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century?
Sorry, off topic I know but, OH! what I wanted to do to her in my teenage years....

[Damfino]

Cagney was a real man.

+1 and he wasn't afraid to cut a rug either!

It all goes back to the early years before recorded history when the women would gather and the men would hunt.

The women could stand around picking berries all day and talk about anything and everything.

The men would keep quiet and hunt.

He is in a simple crypt next to his wife and surrounded by just regular folks. I stopped by yesterday to see three friends who died at 19. Two in Nam and one in a car accident.

Babe Ruth and Billy Martin are buried their also.

[bucky katt]

Billy Martin is one of my all time favorite celebrities. he was a man that took no BS

       Kinda late gettin' in on this, but the thing that went on at our house was me saying "Brenda, what do YOU want for lunch (or any meal)" and she'd say " I don't know, surprise me" and that was not a good thing to do (it never worked). This happened quite often. I'd ask Karla and get the same answer (like Mother, like Daughter). And finally, I'd mention something (after doing this for a while) and get an Okay! Then we were good, til next time. As time went on, it got more frequent. I got to where I would start suggesting things, instead of asking and we SEEMED to get to it sooner that way.

        BTW, I liked Cagney too! Lots of good actors and actresses back in the day!

At least Mars is habitable....Venus is 800 degrees enough to melt lead.
