No, James has finally accepted reality...
We have a popular saying in Flanders: Ik ben de baas, maar wat mijn vrouw zegt zal gebeuren. It basically translates as: I am the boss, but whatever my wife says is law.

The point is: most men are fond of toys without reflecting on the price you pay for them both in the purchase and in the keeping, but it takes a woman to point out to a man that his fancy-of-the-day is ridiculous, stupid and plain wrong. Gradually, over the years, we gently train our men to accept practical tools over toys. They come to rely on us for recommendations and we -nurturing souls that we are- do allow our big babies to keep some of their toys now and then but most of the time a gentle slap is needed in order to keep the mans attention focused solidly on the important things. You are allowed to dream though.
The man is a hunter and goes for the best, the woman is a gatherer and knows how difficult maintaining storage space is. Not to mention the dreadful chore of having to clean all that stuff on a regular basis.

I am fortunate that my dearly beloved lifemate had already been properly and superbly trained by his mother (bless her memory) before I got him in my clutches. All I needed was to polish some edges. But sometimes I worry that his mother has trained him too well... he gets too practical and even surpasses me !

Dont count on it, because that is exactly what we make you think, as it has been ever since the first tryst in history. Us women have dark and mysterious ways... but the best you men can come up with is to burn us at a stake.
Tsk tsk... theres nothing like constant mental torture to get your man in line...

Yep, dark mysterious ways and constant mental torture ....... then theres also the other well tried methods of looking up at him all dewy eyed, wriggling seductively, agreeing wholeheartedly with everything he says in a cute girly voice, letting big tears roll down your face, etc etc .... the list is endless - all these ways have been imprinted into our DNA and can be called up one after the other or (as women are able to multitask) all at the same time

see i told you we let them say what we like. although it makes interesting reading you women giving away all your secrets

[bex]

Swannys Bar Thread

Yea but you men cant perfect anything like us women... well except polishing your cars

[babeth]

Swannys Bar Thread

We can give away our secrets whenever we want, because every day new secrets are hatched and you men are powerless anyway.
Have you ever met a more cruel, calculating, dominating, manipulating and downright abusing creature than a woman ? Of any species ?
Just dream on Shane. Youre such a big teddy-bear, for hanging on to your frantic delusions of grandeur youre forgiven. (Of course in Dutch this is an extraordinary nasty phrase: vergeven means both being forgiven AND being poisoned.)

Lets...just forget about this and move on to another discussion. I hate male vs female discussion because it creates more tension than robot combat. And besides, neither is better than the other, we are both equally brilliant in our own methods. Case closed.

Anyone fancy a mint humbug?
