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:

ROFLOL
That HAS to go in a GP quote book SOMEWHERE! ROFLOL
I agree! I thought it was great! *grin*
:beret:
:lol:
:lurk:
This one may prove to be a great topic to watch.
I think you're right - john certainly seemed to enjoy watching
/me agree's with Ruby.
There are a lot of times we get singled out for dressing "different" but not many times those singled out instances are for guys to tell us they think we
Quotesmoked the other women in the room like salmon on a grill.
: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*
I'm thinkin' that 25:1 ratio seems to fit most areas of the country. :lol:
:beret:
25 women to 1 man?
25 women to one man??
Where do I go to find these odds? It sure wasn't the church I visited Sunday evening.. though they had a beautiful young Lady with a great voice that was one of their praise singers. _very_ modestly dressed to, I might add.. shown like a beacon of beauty on a dark night.
She's about 23, methnks..and I'm.. :sadbounce:

Not any stranger than people's attraction to redheads! :biglaugh:
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.
if you only fill one leg of the pants, is it not then a skirt of sorts??
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.
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!!! :-)

And, to make matters worse/more distracting, she had raven hair.. :hyper: :sadbounce:

*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.
:beret:
LOL, I wouldn't think of TX as refined in the most part. It was pretty pioneer, too.
No, I know. *smile* 'Refined' doesn't exactly fit Texas. But I'm not sure how to say what I'm trying to. Maybe I should just shut up. :lol:
:beret:
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*
My wife wears a dress, has long hair, is no women's libber, and can fight better than most men. *cough*
Shes also a redhead.
She seems too sweet to be much of a fighter...
LOL
Just don't tell her that I said she could be a fighter and I won't have to go to battered husbands support group any more. LOL

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.
Oh, I completely understand. I've even water skied in a skirt, helped build churches, climbed on roofs to help my hubby, did the weed wacking for our yard care business etc, but Chelle just seemed so tiny and quiet...
What happened to her?
:o
Just kidding!!
:lol:

BTW, Jeremy, I was at your home church last evening..a certain nurse we both know was off on some medical travelling work.

I always open doors for ladies. Or women.
If they get mad at me for it, I'm fine with that. :freaky2: Actually it amuses me to no end...
I have not yet been beat up by a scandalized women's libber...
It doesn't happen much now but in the 70's it was crazy and guys just didn't know what to do.
I think it was mentioned earlier, but you may see more of it depending on the part of the country you are from.

*cough* what if you cant tell? :lol:
:laughat:
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
And if it's seth she lets the door shut in his face. :laughhard: :hypocrite:
:roll: I don't mind holding the door open for guys, nor do I really mind the door being held open for me. Normally, the way a guy friend and I handle it is whoever reaches the door first and if there is two doors, then one gets the first and the other opens the second.
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.
I dunno. I was just raised to be curteous to whoever. It's nice to be treated well. It makes me feel special, but I wouldn't say I'd get my heart broken if it's not done.
Oh, I think the same way, it's just that I was around when things changed rapidly and left everyone wondering what to do. LOL
DUDE!!!!...you AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE old!!!
That's dudette to you! :nono:
nuh-uh
The first time a bloke (that wasn't related to me) held the door open for me, I was startled...I just wasn't used to it, now I reckon a little courtesy goes a really long way.
Quote*cough* what if you cant tell?
:biglaugh:
That hasn't happened but just the once that I remember. I'd especially open the door for uh, her. Shoot, if it'd have made her leave quicker, I'd have even opened the car door for her.

How are you, Sir Scruff-face?

Whoa...
I've been knighted when I wasn't looking. :P
:freaky2:
Keep your head turned and see what ELSE might happen! :bigcheese:
:eyebrow:
Should I keep my tongue sticking out too?
Only if you want it to freeze that way!
:eyebrow:
Oh, I don't care. That'd be fine.
It can't possibly be comfortable to have your tongue frozen...
I'd roll it up since they use a sword to dub you when you're knighted. :laughhard:

Elona, you need to teach your own class in the Literature and Languages department. I bet you'd have record numbers of students, though.
lol Thanks, Dina. :-)
I actually laughed out loud as I wrote that one. :bigcheese:
I need to go to bed, but I'm really hyper... between the service tonight and the near-date that I had (see the new thread in the singles discussion area), I'm not sure i'm going to be able to settle down enough to sleep for awhile. lol
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?
John :waving:
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.
:beret:
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.
Protected.
*nod*
Entertained
*nod*
Yup
At the top of the checklist, fer sher!
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.
Hmmm, you're right...ok feeling protected but not over protected. A comforting security, not a cage.
Glad I read this before lunch. Instead of taking my wife to dinner for mothers day, Ill take her to a cage fight!
Uhh... Mini, hate to break it to ya, but... your wife is really comfortable with you, and knows you really well. Dinner is one of about two options, or you're in the doghouse. For a month of Sundays. *grin*

Two women can be in different phases of denial about the same issue: see Replies #'s 9 & 10 in the "Random Men' thread... let's see..how this one could have played out:

Group 2: Guys talking in the hallway
Guy 1: Did you see those two chicks?
Guy 2: Yeah, hawt!
Guy 3: I bet they're single.. the one with the long brown hair is the hawtest, no doubt!
Guy 2: Dude, they've BOTH got long brown hair!

Funny that you say it's a CD, Aaron. The last happy meal that I bought (just a couple weeks ago) at McD's had a music CD in it! I was a bit weirded out, like... HUH?!?! I haven't listened to it yet. It was supposed to be by kids and for kids. The titles weren't exactly kid-sounding titles, though. Bothered me.

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.

Songs listed are

3. Hey There Delilah
4. Girls Just Want To Have Fun

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

I'd be one that would be ok with a guy asking me to a fighting event.
Of course I'd be happier in armor
:P

wow..i do see where you can get that!...lol...it says of lookin...but the 2 words are close together, and u almost miss the l in looking
i dont like the fact that its songs by kids for kids, and its grown up songs...it is aggravating! i guess im so used to letting my kids hear christian songs with kids singing..but it makes me sad that so many parents let their kids sing so many worldly songs and think its 100% ok
Didn't sound like kids singing to me.
kids were singing...but there was a grown up or 2+ singing with them prolly

Hmmm... I don't think there's a chance of Aaron getting Mrs'd. WAY too NOT feminine for that one!
He MAY, however, FIND his Mrs. :freaky2:
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?
:o I think you have too much time on your hands John. lol
And I also think that woman was very unintelligent to be driving like that. I mean, a poodle? Come one...*I'm not a dog person either*. lol
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.
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! :)
John :waving:
:sing: Those were the days, my friend, I thought they'd never end..........
BOL @ News... um, those guys!
lol at RJ...
Don't be rushin' me. ;)

I mean, you've got such a fantastic look in your av. What woman wouldn't just... ummm... melt at your... ummm... smile?
:hypocrite:

I can't think any gal would particularly enjoy kissing THAT. *choke gag sputter*
I can just hear the conversation: "Whaddya mean you have a headache? AGAIN?!? Doesn't that make, like, a headache every day for... a year, or somethin'?"

Right. The folks that try to do those things and can't are very scary. Some folks just don't multi-task well.
I don't text at all, either. Don't have a cell phone. Stevebert has it at work.
Texting is great when you have a message to convey that you don't want dragged out or to get yelled at for. :lol:
In other words, you prefer to text certain authority figures in your life when you're in trouble, Chris? lol
Absolutely :grin:
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.

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).

BOL at the edited title "Newsmans Obsessions About Women"
BOL... agreed!
:grin: anyone gone back recently and read where this thread started? It's pretty funny.... :lol:
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. :)
:beret:
That's cuz you hang out with guys in the circus. Probably clown types. :bigcheese:
:laughhard: at Elona
LOL... :pound:'s elona... be nice to Ruby! (Does she really hang around clown guys? That would explain a lot! hehe)
Haven't you ever heard her talk about her three-ringo circus, Yoop?
Three Ringo Circus, yes. Clown guys? No! :noo: *lol* One of the members of the Three Ringo Circus is the Ring(o) Master, and the other two are the monkeys. *grin*
:beret:
But a circus HAS to have clowns SOMEWHERE around...
so, you're in the general vicinity of clown-types.
:hypocrite:

*duh.. points to nearest clown* :laughat:
I'm not a guy, Yoop. :roll:

Haha... but I wasn't looking at the original quote... just at the one above mine! :biglaugh:

I always find investigations entertaining. I honestly don't mind being investigated, atm, because it gives me a good chuckle.
