Now common blokes...when was the last time you took your stunning lady out for a romantic night out....do you even remember how to catch that gem...

Your thoughts

This is no doubt a frivolous thread because "romance" is a frivolous concept, the answer would be "never" because my wife and I get along really well all the time.
What's "that gem"? Are you trying to say that over time we lose the knack of attracting women? I never had it in the first place and women as a rule don't like me, yes, I'm married but apart from my wife (upon whom I made the initial advances)I've never had a woman flirt or "Hit On" me in my whole life.
"Romance" is for sappy Beta males and "pussy beggars", the name of the game is seduction, real men learn how to maintain constant sexual tension with their partner by getting to know the female mind and which buttons to push based on their partner's individual personality.

Jay if could put that into a book you would make a fortune, 'how to read a woman's mind' lol.

The simple truth is women and men are different. The problems often occur when women try to be men and men try to be women.

For me life as a married man is all about mutual respect and trust. If you don't trust your partner, chances are you can't be trusted yourself.

Our goal 30 odd years ago was to be successful parents and I said to my wife of 28 years recently, given our kids are now adults, and they love us both dearly and love spending time with us, we have succeeded as parents and therefore achieved our goal.

It didn't happen accidentally as I was the primary income producer and my wife was the primary care giver. A perfect partnership in my books. And it was built on lobe, trust and mutual respect, with the odd bumpy sections along the way.

Dear Planet3,

A wise person once stated:

"What can I give this beautiful new generation?
The unwanted gift of my experience?
I don't think so -
Perhaps only the right to make the same mistakes
and afterward not saying,
"I told you so!"

I've given these thoughts on this forum previously.
I hope no one will mind my doing so again.
I think they fit this thread - here goes:

"I am grateful for the hug I got to give my father
just before sailing for America. Dad died while
I was overseas.

I am grateful and proud of my family, the way we look
out for each other. I think of the love and pride I feel
for my brothers, the peace I feel in my mother's presence.
We're open about needing each other. She needs a daughter
and I need a mum - and I can take pleasure in telling
her of my affection. I know this time she won't be
counting.

My mum has been my biggest booster, I hers. I marvel at the
capability with which she's organised her life. "Will you
look at my mother," I think. "What a beautiful woman. What
a knockout!"

I'm grateful for the miracle of my marriage. That we managed
to find each other. That we get to begin our days
together, share our lives together, respect each other,
support each other, and let the other be. To discover the
joy of living with a lover and a friend. Sometimes, coming
home at the end of a day, I worry that as in a dream it will all
have disappeared. We should take nothing for granted.

You know the Aztecs were terrified each night when the sun
set that it would not rise again the next morning. They were
grateful for every dawn.

It takes a long time to become a person. Longer than they
tell you. Longer that I thought. I am grateful for my past,
it has given me the present. I want to do well by the
future."

For a short while this morning, my list of topics had the following as consecutive headlines:

"Women are what they are"
"So what's wrong with sending them back?"

Thanks for the involuntary chuckle, guys.

I'm too fabulous to be trapped by Planet3's clever ploy for posters to self-denigrate by replying to the opening invite...

"Now common blokes..."
