Title: Newsman's Obsessions About Women
Post by: Newsman on May 02, 2009, 08:32:56 PM
   With the great observatioal and relationship experience involved in being 44 and never having ben married, I will periodically post observations I have about women.

  I invite your comment, analysis, thoughts..let's just keep it family-friendly.

  I start this series with

            A Tribute To The Modest Woman

  This is not about standards, per se. It's about how the beauty of a modestly dressed woman stands out in a group of wordly women. While it would apply to married women as well as singles, I post here in Singles, as the unmarried Ladies that are members here may not have someone in their lives who points out these truths to them, and out of propriety, in part, also.

  Allow me to gve an example. A few weeks back, I stop in a town for dinner. There are two waitresses, and a party of five or six, including two or three young women, arrive about the same time I do.

  One of the waitresses would fit the category of 'hot'. Of the women in the party, one is very attractive, the other attractive in a country sort of way.

  The second waitress is dressed in  full-length skirt and blue top, if memory serves. She wore glasses, methinks, and it seems like her hair was up instead of down.

  She blew those other women in the room away. It wasn't even close. I talked to her for a moment. It turned out she was Holiness, not Pentecostal, but the point was, in her modest attire, she smoked the other women in the room like salmon on a grill.

Wow, John. I don't even think I know how to respond to that one.

With all the pressure put on women (whether from outside sources or from themselves), it's a really nice thing when someone bothers to notice a modest woman. And says so. We usually DON'T get told when someone appreciates the way we're dressed.

I hope you told her. :) I'll guarantee you gave her self-esteem a boost with an effect that will last for weeks, if you told her in just the words you posted. :lol:

And people still question why I have an attraction to the way amish girls dress.....don't they realize I much prefer the modest woman?  :frustrated:

One of the reasons I had my eye on a prebstyerian girl a while back---minus the head covering --she could have fit in any of the oldtime holiness churches...thought though the long hair and head covering was just adding to her beauty.  Now if their had been a little more fire in her soul instead of the hotsauce at the barb-b-que...well, an encounter with God face to face would fix that...

Long story made short, Very good words bro. John!!!

I think this also has a lot to do with what area you live in.  Girls just aren't appreciated for that where I live.  That is, unless they got lucky enough to catch a guys eye in a church with a ratio of 25:1 girls vs guys.  *sigh*

And what is wrong with an attraction to redheads??????????????

A well dressed woman in a skirt/dress beats a well dressed woman in pants any day of the week.

Well, I saw a woman in a skirt once that had only one leg and thought maybe she might be better off in pants, but that is a major exception to the norm.

You know, I still feel like I get special attention/treatment once in awhile because of the way I dress.  At least I'm assuming it's the way I dress.  lol  I don't THINK it's the way I act. *shrug*  Just the other day a man was coming up a set of stairs as I was going down.  He reached the top of the stairs and stepped aside for me, and I could literally *feel* him watching me as I walked down.  He wasn't creepy.  Just apparently *watching* me.  lol  Made me feel strangely...  Actually, it just made me feel strangely.  lol  Somewhat flattered, but still weird.  I also have random men hold doors for me and step back for me to go first, etc..  Unfortunately, the "gentlemen" in the church don't always act the same.  I'm guessing that those particular "gentlemen" aren't, in actuality, "gentlemen," though.

Fortunately, I have had a handful of true gentlemen in my life who have helped me recognize that not all men really *ARE* created equal.  Unfortunately, I think they have spoiled me.  lol  It's okay, though.  I'll just wait for someone to come along who can treat me like the lady that God intends me to be.

Title: Re: Newsman's Observations About Women
Post by: Envelope on May 04, 2009, 07:01:18 PM
In today's society, seems that a lot of men do NOT hold doors open for ladies anymore.  I've watched the SAME man, NOT hold a door open for a lady in pants, and I'll be right behind that lady in a skirt and the guy will JUMP in place and hold the door open for me!!!  I simply think it comes from me actually LOOKING and acting (for the most part LOL) like a lady!!!!

A couple years ago, I was going up the steps into the post office and a very elderly man was going up the steps at about the same time.  I was going to open the door for HIM because of being taught to "respect my elders", but he literally tripped going up the steps to try to get to the door first, so that he could open the door for ME!!!!  It actually made me cry!!!

And, a lot of guys are still suckers for long hair!!!  :-)

*chuckles at Sir John and his raven-haired women woes*

On a serious note, I really think location has a lot to do with the way men treat women. While I was in OK and TX I noticed the majority of the men seemed to hold a higher standard for themselves in the way they deferred to women. (And no, I'm not just talking about the GP men. We already knew they were wonderful men. *grin*) Northwest men don't seem (in a stereotypical sense, but there ARE many exceptions - just to be fair) to be so concerned with things like openings doors and holding chairs. I really have to wonder if it stems from this being pioneer country. Women HAD to be strong to make it. If they were very used to working right alongside their men, they couldn't very well expect their men to treat them like elegant, refined, porcelain women at other times. *shrug* I dunno. But it makes me wonder.

When Women's lib first started sweeping the country, men didn't know what to do. They were used to opening doors, holding chairs, ect, for woman. Then suddenly women were yelling at men, saying they weren't lame they could open their own doors and move their own chairs. So men had to fight what they were taught. They didn't know if they were supposed to or not. If they did they got yelled at. And if they didn't, some women who weren't into women's lib would get mad.

I guess when a woman is an a dress, they must assume she isn't a women's libber and it's ok and they won't get yelled at. *Shrug*

Look who she's living with.

Looking like a lady doesn't mean you have to be a wimp. Or act like one. I can do anything in a skirt that I want to do, including (When I was working at the museum) climbing the Playhouse's 20' tall ladder. Wore black tights so if any wiseguy wanted to look up the skirt they couldn't see anything anyway. And there were plenty of wiseguys there, believe me.

doesn't it kinda depend on the door and arrival time?

if someone is gonna get smacked by the closing door, I leave it open for them and do the hand off

if we're gonna get to the door at the same time I slow down if its a dude so he gets there first and has to at least hand it off to me if not completely open it for me

if its another female i'll sometimes walk faster and open it for them or do the hand off

if its the door to the post office and letting them in first loses me another place in line I race to get there first regardless

But there  was a time, not that long ago when if a woman held a door for a guy who wasn't handicapped, it was frowned upon. And if a guy didn't open the door for a woman he was frowned upon. That's why the great confusion in the beginning of women's lib.

Time now for our second installment in this occasional series.. looking at it from two different perspectives..

She Wants What?!?!?!

   A female law enforcement dispatcher and I were talking a few weeks back.. she's married, so it wasn't a case where I was pursuing a date or anything, we were chatting about relationships.

   I pointed out (truthfully) that it seemed that 40's are a great age to be single.. I think we touched on the issues of many young men these days being a jerk, making it easier on us older guys, and how I've had so much more positive attention from younger women once I became older than I ever had when I was a younger man.

   She opined that a woman wants to feel protected, and wants to be entertained. She thus said she wasn't surprised that I received attention from women, from those perspectives. I thought it was kind of neat...thoughts??

   The second conversation was with a 23-25 year old woman I've known for years..married, at least two children, works at a bank I do business at. She is a beautiful woman, but also often almost equisitely done up, so she looks unusually 'elegant' for a younger woman.

   I asked her if she was spending quality time with her husband that evening, and she said they were going out to the cage matches (extreme fighting) event going on in town that evening.

   My surprise must have been evident, and I asked her about it. She said something like, oh, yeah, blood and gore. I joked that I had been doing it wrong all these years, with dinner and such.

   She thought my next fighting event would be a good thing to ask someone out to.

   What say ye to the 'blood and gore' (or at least arms and armor) over a nice dinner somewhere?

I say...

depends on the woman.

Big help, I know. ;)

Seriously though, personality plays a huge part of what she'd enjoy. I would find a more intimate dinner setting a totally intimidating first date with someone. Just having fun attending an event, or playing a game, or something low-key seems much less intimidating for the first date or two. Candlelight dinners are fantabulous, but I'd prefer them when I'm very comfortable with someone and know them WELL.

I agree with ST!  I would say a game of putt putt and a quick dinner someplace nice but not elegant. Chilis or TGIF would do.   Ohhh I'm making me hungry.

For a woman, to feel protected is an absolute must imho, to feel entertained is lower on the list, in order of importance, but still in the top few.

A first date (speaking frome my tonnes of experience :roll:) has to be low key. Something fun like lazer skirmish and McDs, or bowling with food from the bowling eatery... and I've just mentioned two activites that you can't do with just two....maybe a movie then? Anyway, it's far too intimidating otherwise, you're right on the money, Ruby, not unless you're uber comfortable with the other is an intimate dinner a good idea.

Gotta watch that "protection" thing, though.  I know a guy who won't ALLOW his wife to work or even volunteer anywhere out of the home. He wants her HOME. He says he's protecting her. She can't go shopping alone, either. I guess the only thing she's ALLOWED to do without him is go to church ladies functions but he has to drive her there and back. And for ladie's retreats, he goes with and they rent a room. He will drive her there and back.

*Shakes head* A guy can take this protection thing too far. What at first might feel safe can become a prison.

Parent Warning! Happy Meal toy causing controversy

Posted: May 13, 2009 11:00 AM CDT

Posted by Ellen Krafve - email

LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) - Across the nation there has been concern regarding the prize in the kid's meal from a fast food restaurant.

Certain McDonald's Restaurant Happy Meals contain a children's CD that allegedly includes an offensive word in one of the songs.

On "Kidz Bop" CD-Number 6, the first song is "I Don't Wanna Be", originally by Gavin DeGraw. It allegedly contains a profane word that appears at around 52 seconds into the song, during the chorus.

In the original song's chorus, Gavin DeGraw says, "I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do or who I'm supposed to be." Some parents say that "looking" sounds like a profane word in the Kidz Bop version.

The cover of the CD says "Sung By Kids, For Kids."

While we have not heard about complaints from parents locally, this has stirred up parents across the nation.

You can listen to the song by clicking on the video player at the top right hand side of this page. Below, tell us if you hear the alleged word or if you find it offensive. Leave us your thoughts!

We also went out to see what East Texans thought about the song. Click here to watch their reactions.

Pulled it out and listened to it today.  Not terrible stuff, but just aggravated me that it was in a Happy Meal.  *sigh*

Today's topic is-- Women Drivers


   You know, we all pull boneheaded stunts, sometimes, when we are behind the wheel.
It's easy, and often wrong, to stereotype any person or group as to a pattern of behaviour.

   However, approaching slowed/stopped traffic at a light, recently, I noticed the SUV in
the other lane was driven by an attractive woman, of, shall we guestimate, 35-40 years
of age.

   Noticing her for some moments as traffic was stationary or moved slowly, I realized she was
no ordinary driver. She had what appeared to be a poodle in her lap (I'm NOT a dog person,)
and had what may have been a blackberrry in her left hand, while reaching forward and to
the side with her right hand.

   Even as she pulled away in the inside lane away from me, I'm not sure I ever saw a hand
on the wheel. Now, I could make some quip about women drivers, but someone gave me
another thought;

   Perhaps it was the POODLE that was DRIVING the SUV, which made me think further that
the woman could just be a cushion to get the poodle up high enough to handle the wheel,
and a convenient scapegoat in case the SUV was pulled over by law enforcement.

   What think ye?

That still can't beat the guy who was reading the newspaper on the freeway, doing 65! He had it spread over the wheel and was looking down at it as we passed him. I wasn't driving, so I got a good look. Wish I'd had my camera out.

Usually dummies like this cause the accidents and go merrily along not even knowing what was left in their wake.
Title: Re: Newsman's Observations About Women
Post by: Newsman on May 18, 2009, 06:53:36 AM
Well, I'll give you Ladies a laugh at us guys.

   Many years ago, when myse..err, a few guys I know were on a road trip in an
old beatup hybrid station wagon with no tailgate section, we pulled an interesting
visual stunt on other drivers.

   There were three of u..um, the guys in the wagon; two in the front seat, and one
in the back.

   We..umm, THEY had the guy in the drivers seat just sit there, maybe with an open
newspaper and maybe not (I really don't recall,) using his feet on the pedals. I.. err, the
guy in the passenger seast, used a hand under the level of the dash to on the wheel to
steer the vehicle, while the guy in the back propped his legs up on the driver's side dash.

   It looked to approaching traffic like a guy with his legs propped up on the steering
wheel, maybe with what looked like a newspaper open and reading, rolliing down a major
highway at speed. Come to think of it, it seems like we would have had the open
newspaper going.

   Those were the days..for those guys! :)

My dear John, you are astute.  Estrogen is a strange thing.   :freaky2:
And testosterone?

And people still question why I have an attraction to the way amish girls dress.....don't they realize I much prefer the modest woman?  :frustrated:

 Well I know there has been a few time I have been mistaken to be Amish * and it is common for people to thing we Apostolic/Pentecostal women are Amish*

I was asked if I was Amish while online once. LOL  I told him if I was, I wouldn't be on a computer! :rofl:




I was asked while in Drivers Ed  :biglaugh: 

    I find it utterly funny that people think I am Amish when I am not really that close to one by any means.

anything to keep from having to talk to people.  Texting is the best, so much better than email - with emails you have unlimited space and have no excuse not to be polite, texts are 160 characters, no space for blather... make the point and get out.

I text, facebook and GP while driving... its illegal here  :-?  I am allowed to talk hands-free on the bluetooth though

The one accident that was my fault was 10 years ago and I wasn't doing any of the above... simply watching some hot dude in a jeep wrangler take his shirt off and not the brake lights in front of me   :hypocrite:

That was pretty sharp, Yoop!

However, if you look at Lady Elona's previous posting on this website, you will find that she says she set the minimum age for a guy for her at 42 "several" years ago. Now, the working definition I've had for years is that "several" = four or more. That would mean I am too young for her, not being 42 "several" years ago.

I saw a judge show about that kind of thing once. She took him for everything he had. He showed up in Judge Judy's courtroom in a plaid shirt and jeans. She wore a mink coat.  She sold the engagement ring. The judge made her take off the coat and said it was his if she didn't give him the ring back in five days. ROFL

No, John.  I've never dated a guy younger than 18.  Ever.  Even when I was younger than 18 myself.  lol

The first guy I ever dated was 7 years older than me (I was 16; he was 23).

The guy I dated most recently was *mumble mumble* years younger than me.

Argh... wishes he was on the boat now...  :sadbounce:

*Yoop devises plan to get on that boat...*  :freaky747:

Guatemala would be cool though too... I hear they have some awesome sight-seeing places...

And I wonder if you can sleep on top of one of the Mayan Temples?

Yup... just did again... it was something to do with modestly dressed ladies being like smoking hot salmon on a grill, compared to other not such ladies... or something like that...  lol.

And while I didn't go back to get the full original quote, I concur with the full thought of the matter.

I'd give an example, but I know I would be quoted in or out of context... lol

But  :great: to John for a great thought...

Well, I for one am not gonna pretend like I never find women outside the church physically attractive because I do. Can't help it; it's natural. That's why even experienced ministers have to be careful about when, where and under what circumstances they'll counsel with women, married or otherwise, Christian or otherwise, who are in need.

Proverbs 7:26
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

Good looking, charming, charismatic women have brought down men the devil couldn't fade.  :twocents:

Never said I didn't find ANY women outside my preference unattractive! But honestly, there is a whole lot more to someone being attractive than just their looks, at least for me. 

Maybe I am strange...  LOL...

Nope. You're not strange. Or at least, your view seems to be the prevailing one among the majority of the guys I hang out with. :)

so, you're in the general vicinity of clown-types.
