Come Banjo, with respect.
You and I are on opposite sides of the fence, yet we often agree.
Surely this time you have your foot firmly in your mouth?
Brogden, believe me, WAS A VICTIM of his own party.
The information that saw him end his political life and, well leave that, came from slugs within his party.
Mate every one knows that surely?
What Lady's and gents, if Mrs Della had an affair.
Duck, dive but reality stalks you, Della was maybe the last and only hope the Wil Robinson's of NSW ALP could turn the worst defeat in our history into the second worst.
IF just say those of us who have had an affair, surely some one has?
And we , yep me too a Long time ago, lost our job.
Had headlines about it all over the press?
PS my relation ship suffered by both being unfaithful.

Pied Piper,
I was thinking more along the lines of:- "Yeah mate, I can go fishing with you this weekend, cause I know the missus won't want me around the house".

Or:- " Sorry, the wife has plans for the weekend"

Knowing could be usefull.

Banjo’s diary Sept, 7th, 2009

She was standing in the kitchen, preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the T-shirt she normally slept in. As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said softly,

'You've got to make love to me this very moment.'

My eyes lit up and I thought, 'I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day!' Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her and then gave it my all right there on the kitchen table.

Afterwards she said, 'Thanks,' and returned to the stove.

Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, 'What was that all about?' She explained,

'The egg timer's broken.

Banjo, in answer to your question, Buss covers that one. It seems
that at ovulation, women report an increased interest in sex. I
read another study once which came to the conclusion that they also
wear more revealing clothing, even if not aware of it themselves.
But I can't quote the source, I can't remember lol, maybe somebody else can.

Foxy, you think I should do more research? Did you even bother to
read the 12 pages that Buss wrote? He did research in 37 nations!

If you are really interested in this stuff, his "Evolutionary
Psychology" is full of facts and data, all with references.

Of course a woman can go out and earn her own money and raise
a family. But its frigging hard work and more easier said then done!

Most women prefer to spend some time with their kids and work when
they have to, part time or whatever. I've had plenty of soul
searching discussions with females and even today, the fact that
their partner is a good provider, mattered when it came to finding one.

For good reasons too. Its alot frigging easier!

*The women
they chose had special characteristics*

ROFL I am sure they did! I am sure they had many talents, but they
were also much younger. When I see blokes commonly taking mistresses
much older then themselves, I will believe you, but its rather
uncommmon. Fact is that yes, as they get older, men are more
attracted to younger women sexually, read the studies that Buss did.

Just look around you how much women spend on trying to look younger.
Do you think they do that just for fun?

A Canadian nurse friend of mine used to work in a clinic on Vancouver
Island, where they did cosmetic surgery. The place was chock a block
with rich American women in their 50s and 60s, terrified that hubby
was going to take off with a younger woman, so they were spending up
bigtime!

Foxy, you keep looking at the world through your eyes, rather then
what is going on out there.

Yabby:”Just look around you how much women spend on trying to look younger.
Do you think they do that just for fun?”

This is changing slowly though isn’t it Yabby? Men now also spend a lot of money trying to look more attractive and younger as they age.

There’s more competition now with the denser population thing? Media

Foxy
Don't let what Tabby's over-interpretation of Buss' findings bother you. If you're interested search some of the LATER papers on those findings.

BTW Neither I or CJ an ex Anthropologist are arguing that there isn't some apparent truth in Buss' findings or in brain chemistry arguments but what is disputed is the primacy Y gives it. If you read the article you will notice that Buss doesn't say anything stronger than his findings are a tendency . As you know stats are about generalities and aren't predictive. Also there are numerous articles that offer alternative explanations/ criticisms of the conclusions which dilute “Y's gold standard law” and the effect.
Y is saying in essence when it storms we( all races) run for cover because brain chemistry on it's own tells us to. When in reality there maybe a gazillion other reasons e.g. the rain might ruin that Christian Dior dress or $ 150 hair style you typically have or there's lightening and or hail coming.

I wonder if Yabby isn't playing a stir em um up game.

Anyway did you see media watch last night....many of the claims made in the media turn out to be well.....oh bugger it ….LIES and beat ups particularly his missing the plane and access to Parliament house etc.

The same as were in the story of the 15 yo at Mullumbimby high whose death was wildly misreported as being stomped, kicked and attributed to a culture of violence...all....BULL.

Foxy also read ABC's take on the shot McG.

GY any questions about media ethics, accurate and factual reporting?
