*So where are you Yabby, I stuck on in for you and you've left me out to dry!*

I'm right here Rehctub. PP probabaly took it a bit personally,
but indeed you are correct, some women are extremely high maintenance
and its a common joke amongst blokes to calculate their cost of sex.
Throw in a divorce case or two and it can be frigging huge!

Don't worry about CJ. Despite all his claimed womanly expertise,
by what he's told us, most of his adult life was spent in failure
with women. He finally got lucky late in life but seemingly forgets
that all that expertise did not do him much good for the previous
twenty something years.

Today its not about brothels anymore. As I pointed out to Fraccy,
the net combined with mobile phones, has changed the sex industry.
Private escorts are the go now, they even come to your house, if you
live in a city. You can check em out on the net, even book them
on the net and you know what you are up for from the start.

Add up baby claims, high maintenance women, divorce courts and
lawyers, frankly its a practical option for anyone who has got
a few bob and does not want to lose his shirt in the family law
courts

"Private escorts are the go now, they even come to your house, if you

Oooohhh......"you know what you're up for from the start." Errr..... but does she? How much extra for beasties......the little crab and scabie critters?

Joke!
A guy came home from work one day and the missus was packing her bags.

The guy asked, "so where are you going to go", she replied, "to the cross. The girls there are being paid up to $1000 per night for sex".

The guy then started to pack his bags so she said, "where are you going". He replied, "I'm comming with you as I want to see how you live on 2 grand a year!

PP, you will have to try much harder if you want to insult me dear.

I know guys with missus's that spend in excess of $10,000 PER MONTH.

Trouble is, they are stuck with the dragon because silly them worked thier a's off to secure a future but are now trapped and simply pay the fee and go elsewhere to avoid the settlement. 10K a month is sometimes worth it to them, esspecially when the alternative is to part with 50 to 80% of 300 mill or so.

dickie dear, yes we know that crabs and scabies can spread like
wildfire in those old peoples homes. But at your age, with the
brain fading, most likely you won't notice :).

If you have em and do notice, you can always go and tell the nurse, I am sure she will help you.

Hardly wasted, Yabby. Unlike some, I choose to learn from my experiences, including my mistakes. That's how I've grown up to be a reasonably contented middle-aged bloke who has a beautiful and loving partner, great kids and grandkids and a couple of ex-wives who are among by best friends still.

Others, on the other hand, pretend to themselves that being alone in life is just as good so long as you can pay someone for sex, or spend inordinate amounts of time whingeing and moaning about others who haven't sacrificed personal fulfilment in favour of conspicuous consumption.

To each their own, I guess - but I'd challenge anybody to find a post I've written here that indicates unhappiness or discontent in my life. Life's too short to waste by avoiding the opportunities for personal growth that are afforded from learning from one's experiences, including one's mistakes.

Rehctub - so that was someone else's wife you were talking about? Riiiigggghhht, whatever you say old son.

Good Morning Retchub and Yabby, howzit hanging boys?

I haven’t met any women like you describe Retchub but are you saying that if women aren’t the flashy type with the hair do and nails then they’re boring? So you prefer woman like that but then complain they are like that?

I don’t get what sort of females you have both known or attract let alone the type of friends you have that sit around and joke about women and babies costing so much while living in financial fear of divorce. Is this what Australians are like in general?

And I really can’t imagine being in a situation where greed was the reason I stayed in a relationship.

Retchub that wasn’t an attempted insult in that post, I was just yanking ya chain. I did like your joke though. Hubby cracked me up the other day in the car and we’d been driving for about half an hour through various small towns and I’m oblivious to everything when he suddenly asks “Is today big tit day?”

10,000.00 per month?

Do you find wealthy people like that just incredibly self-centered, self- indulgent, self-serving (and any other word that starts with “self”)? I suspect fostering changed the way I see things, I’d rather not have the latest fashion item and get the new 3 year old girl that arrived with nothing her first pretty dress.

Am I in a minority here? I feel lucky to have my husband and the life we have. Oh except for right now, been up since 4am and no idea what I have eaten but suspect I’m going to uphcuck soon. But this will not affect my flash hair, manicure or husband... phew aye.[grin]
