Examinator - maybe a prostitute with a gambling addiction? You could pay her in one dollar coins for the pokies?

Yabby,
You've even told your 4 staff. I bet that went down a treat, the boss telling them how to run our sex lives. Especially if you were as understanding to their point of view as you have been to the women on OLO in this topic.
I do admit you have some issues telling strong women they’re wrong about the way they should feel.

The Freud bit was an analogy to illustrate that despite Bettina’s ‘experience’ her utterances are to be taken in context. Perhaps you must have missed that bit.

I would point out your rave on a different topic was a little excessive and did I mention against the rules of OLO the one that says stick to the topic. Most people would have let it pass hence my thoughts of your unresolved issues.

Does it matter so much that foxy (in your opinion) floats in a cloud or that the women and I and CJ see things differently to you?

In reality emotions are a good things to express given the right time and place but this is neither and they’re diabolically difficult to justify to someone else.
bye

Examinator, so let me get this straight. I was a good 25 years older
then my staff and because I suggested to them that honesty was a
good policy, to sort things out before people get married, you
now claim that I was "the boss telling them how to run our sex lives."

Examinator, either you are really stupid or really devious.

Freud has nothing to do with Bettina Arndt. Perhaps you googled the
word "libido", found the Freud popularised it and thought that you
would make a smartarsed comment to try and make yourself look like
an intellectual. Sorry, but the link is in your mind, nobody elses
mind.

*your rave on a different topic was a little excessive and did I mention against the rules of OLO the one that says stick to the topic.*

In that case Foxy should not have mentioned my name, for in that case, I have every reason to respond. Examinator, you and I speak
different languages. I am more like Bettina Arndt, practical and
I say things as I see them. You float on the clouds, seemingly to
make a good impression. I don't care about my impression on OLO lol.

Lets compare languages. You point out that you would prefer to
hire prostitutes by the minute, given your personal circumstances.
I would interpret that into more common language, ie that you are
frankly too mean fisted, as given your circumstances, you might
not get your money's worth. I say it as I see it, even if you and
the Foxy's of this world don't like it. Bettina calls a spade a
spade, good on her. Viva practial girls :)

Just to set the record straight. Foxy raised the issue of that I
should get about more, I responded. Foxed raised the issue of
Yabby seemingly being obsessed with sex, I responded. I am sure that
Foxy can defend herself quite adequately. I will still point out
where she is deluded, when the occasion arises.

Anyhow, now I have run out of posts for a while, so post all the
crap-that-you-want

Clearly Yabby's right on the issue of female sexuality and all the intelligent, well-adjusted women and men in good relationships with women who've posted here are wrong.

However, I bet we engage in a great deal more "nooky" than Yabby does, without having to pay for it. It seems pretty obvious to me why some men remain single - and pretty bitter and twisted about it.

CJMorgan:"It seems pretty obvious to me why some men remain single "

Oh, please do share with us, won't you CJ? I'm sure we're all agog for the pearls of relationship wisdom that are waiting to spill from your keyboard...

I'll confine my comments to myself, as I don't have your omniscience.

In my own case, I choose to remain single because my experiences have left me distrustful of women in intimate relationships, especially marriage. That may be a reflection on me: make your own judgement, but the fact remains that I have come out the worse from each long-term relationship I have been in. The 5 years of Court battles over my children following my ex-eife's decision to end our marriage was the last straw. That process effectively ended my career and any hope of living out the rest of my life in the manner I had anticipated. It also cost me almost all of the small amount of capital I had accumulated and damn near ended my life.

I was brought up to respect women and to go out of my way to be courteous, "gallant", forgiving of their foibles, protective of their weaknesses and all of the rest of the traditional male virtues. I retain a sense of the "fitness" of those values and have tried to live by them, but all that I have received in return, time after time, is a sense of selfish entitlement.

So be it. I would love to find a woman I genuinely trusted to act honourably and as part of a couple, with our collective interests as the first priority, but I'm not holding my breath. It's their loss.

Antiseptic, one doesn't need to be omniscient to detect from your numerous posts to OLO that you don't like women very much.

<< I was brought up to respect women and to go out of my way to be courteous, "gallant", forgiving of their foibles, protective of their weaknesses and all of the rest of the traditional male virtues. >>

You're an anachronism, just like those who expect sex in return for bringing home the bacon. You need to bring your values up to date, or you condemn yourself to a lifetime of bitterness and frustration.
