I on a regular basis talk about proper female and male relationships with them.

No one has ever told them it's not right for a woman to chase a man etc.

Anyway-they love when I share information about what to look for in a man etc.

Well here is the first lesson you can pass on from me.

Men are scum.
Only true love can clean scum.
If you don't see signs of true love, then your still looking at scum
Once again,
Men are scum.

I know , I used to be one.
I'm just a wise old fart now.

If you would like any other commentary from me just let me know what the particular subject is.

LOL...

He was also her great uncle.

LOL! Now you know why I'm married to a former Bull Rider! If those tons of flesh couldn't break him, I sure wasn't going to!

My father helped my mother with dishes.... It wasn't a strange sight to see my father vacuuming....2-3 times a day... They never fought... If you heard my father talk about women, you would think he didn't think they had any sense at all! lol I've heard my father say that the country started downhill when women were allowed to vote... but you let my father see a man mistreat his wife and see what happens... If he sees a man "demand" his wife do this or do that, he has his say-so about it.... and at the same time, he'll say women don't need to be behind the wheel of a car... lol... but he has the up most respect for my mother...

It's not about what you say, but what you do...


For years I listened to a preacher teach us about how men ought to treat their wives.... with such respect and so forth.... we went out to dinner with them and I heard part of their conversation that ended with, "you just take your place as a woman and keep your mouth shut"... well, I started laughing and started to make a joke about it .... but then I saw that he wasn't joking... so much for all that teaching.......

My husband is the most incredible! We don't fight... although I try to... In the 15 years we've known each other, we've never yelled and screamed at each other.... My parents never did and I would not have dated a guy that treated me disrespectful... nor would my father let me

I never saw any of this growing up, and did not know it existed until I got into church and noticed how married folks treated each other. All I knew is that I wanted a marriage like they had.

Thank God I have a good marriage today!

I had no idea, but I think that's what he was doing. Good grief, I like older men but not at the point of the "blue hair" dye stage.

Lol! Thats good stuff!

The thing is, these women see them as scum themselves so they can't seem themselves with anything less.

Still good advice.

I don't blame you. My mother sent me a letter a couple of days ago and it has made me very nostalgic! I had so many fond memories of my childhood - even in the middle of some of the fights my other sisters were having. LOL! I usually was reading a book. I loved laying in the clover by the river and reading. Wish I could do that again!!!

Pressing that makes me so mad!

Ewww! What a jerk! Lord forgive me anyone could fall and all that--but to literally think you can have the pick of women in your congregation as a girlfriend--makes me wish I could kick him!...or punch him....then ask God to forgive me

When I got into church, I saw people dropping like flies in divorce court! Sheesh, don't I have anything good to say??!! When we got into church I was really big on making my marriage work and looking to others for examples of that. Most of the couples I knew in our church divorced including one couple that had pastored! This was the couple that taught us Search for Truth. Fortunately the pastor and his wife were not one of them!
