Wingnut Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Is #12 something that really actually needs to be included on a list directed at men? Isn't it kind-of a given? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Good list, even if 12 made me blush. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ok, ya'll got me curious on #12 and now all I can say is, "OH YEAH!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Wow. #12 was just overkill for me. Super cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakumi Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 sounded like a cheesy romance novel minus Fabio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroads Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I also found #12 a bit overly romantic. Though I do agree with the concept. Just not the passionate phrasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I thought it was kind of refreshing in a culture that's constantly trying to emasculate men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I thought it was kind of refreshing in a culture that's constantly trying to emasculate men.Which I will never understand. I LIKE the manly aspects of my husband (ok, not the can't throw the socks into the hamper parts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 #21 is "avoid using 'always' and 'never' in conversations--especially disagreements. As an aside--the author used those words a lot. :-) I liked that one was "be silly" and the other was "don't be an idiot." Life and marriage are all about balance, right?

Bini Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I thought it was kind of refreshing in a culture that's constantly trying to emasculate men.I don't see the world that way but I do appreciate my husband's manliness and the role he has in our marriage. Like I tell people, I can be a feminist and still shave my legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yeh, again, number 12 was totally barf worthy despite the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefche Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ok, call me a Fabio lover (which I'm not--he is not attractive to me), but I thought the wording on #12 was a very romantic description. But, then my love language is words of affirmation and I love, LOVE when my husband describes his feelings for me. And he knows my love of romance, so he has a very natural way of describing things in a romantic manner that makes my heart go pitterpat. What's wrong with the romantic or passionate expression?

What's wrong with the romantic or passionate expression?everyone has a different idea what is romantic and/or passionate to them?If I ever talked like that to the last girl I dated she would have laughed like crazy. Granted it sounds like something I would say, for a laugh, but I wouldn't have been taken seriously.To be fair neither of us were ever really romantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 So, I'm curious. How would one reword that (or something similar--maybe no one wants to talk about initmacy, which is fine) that is romantic but not that type of romantic?

How would one reword that (or something similar--maybe no one wants to talk about initmacy, which is fine) that is romantic but not that type of romantic?Speaking for myself, I don't have a problem with intimacy but that particular paragraph was just blegh, it was overdone to the point where the message wasn't received -- instead I was left feeling like.. I was covered in a gooey sticky cheesy mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiper Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Saw this on Facebook, had to share:20 Marriage Tips Everyone Needs to KnowLooks a little on-sided, overly cheesy, and with a lot of platitudes. While the list claims to be for men, I suspect that the real target audience are women (who will send the list to their husbands).My marriage tip for men: Buy your wife a horse.
