I personally like a woman's point of view...what's wrong with that?

Nothing is wrong with it. In truth, everything is right with it. "A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies." Proverbs 31:10.

Dear Uppercase,

nothing wrong with it. Bear in mind the wise jewish rules:

• The female always makes the rules.
• The rules are subject to change at any time without prior notification.
• No male can possibly know all the rules.
• If the female suspects the male knows all the rules, she must immediately change some or all the rules.
• The female is never wrong.
• If the female is wrong, it is due to a misunderstanding, which was a direct result of something the male did or said wrong.
• If the above applies, the male must apologise immediately for causing the misunderstanding.
• An apology without flowers is not an apology.
• The female may change her mind at any time.
• The male must never change his mind at any time without the expressed consent of the female.
• The male may not point out that the woman has changed her mind.
• The female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.
• The male must remain calm at all times, unless the female wants him to be angry or upset.
• The female must, under no circumstances, let the male know whether or not she wants him to be angry or upset.
• The female is ready when she is ready.
• The male must be ready at all times.
• If the female is PMS, all rules are null & void.
• The male may not inquire if the woman is angry or upset.
• The male may not inquire when the women will be ready.
• The male may not inquire about the women's time of the month.
• The male is expected to mind-read at all times.
• The male must earn the respect of the female by giving his life up in service to her needs and nurturing of her character.

cheers, David

They are a good alternative to a cigar.

Well I see that the men here are full of all sorts of wisdom and mirth.

But I was thinking of...why wouldn't you take a woman shopping with you..., why wouldn't you be advised by a woman saleswoman...., why wouldn't you dress for a woman?

I for one will only allow a woman to cut my remaining hairs; I believe that as a woman she has an interest in making me look as fabuloso as humanly possible whereas a barber really doesn't give a shit.

But...a good cigar's a smoke!
Reminds me of a scenario where all business had been attended to and the meeting was concluded. "I'm off for a drink," said one of the men.The response from another was, "I'm going home to take the blame!" " What have you done?" the other asked.
" I don't know.. but,...I'll find out when I get home," was the dismal reply!

I believe that the majority of women and girls, while perhaps good at dressing themselves, lack the eye for detail that defines well dressed men. Don't believe me? See if you can name more types of shirt cuff than your female friend who insists she is wise to the world of men's fashion.

Furthermore, it should be considered that women are, for the most part (that is to say, ignoring McQueen, Galliano, Formichetti etc.), better at dressing women. I would no doubt dress my significant other in floral dresses every other day because I think she looks very pretty as such. How should I know that what I really want is a woman dressed as Annie Hall? The same applies in reverse.

Never, ever, ever go shopping with a woman. For you. Worse, for her. Never go there. If the Catholic Church had not invented Purgatory, it would still, in a sense, exist - and so does Limbo: waiting for the decision, after the tenth pair of shoes has been brought out and then the words: "I'll think about it". Only experience will tell the reason why. I'd take technical advice from a woman in a shop of the kind where they know their onions: Janet Taylor, formerly of James Lock, now of Patey's being an example. As for dressing for a woman - I suspect that this is a denied, subliminal objective for many men but we prefer to take our cues from those whom we observe to be successful with them, rather than from them. Certainly, from observation, women do not want their men to be too neat and prissy, and great attention to colour co-ordination; folding one's trousers etc. bring gales of derision from them.

I do like a good Romeo y Julieta Robusto. But three's a crowd :wink:

I did go shopping with a lady. "Not another tweed jacket," she moaned. "You have plenty of them and they're all the same.".....A while later she was drooling over a dress. "Not another flowery dress," I remarked. We agreed to go for coffee and all was well.

Husband and wife are quarrelling:
'Where would man be without woman?'
'I tell you where: still in Paradise!'

While Adam slept, Eve from his side arose.
Strange, that his first sleep...
Should be his last repose!
