AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK


"You are becoming too much like a bloke for my liking matey. You need to rediscover your feminine side"
This from The Old Girl when I made disparaging comments about her having candles in the bathroom when she was having a bath.
What do women want from men? They want them to be strong and manly (virility doesn't hurt) and to be able to fix things around the house but they also want them to be gentle and caring with this soft, feminine side. Its a big responsibility you know. When we were younger, the gentle feminine side was as effective as a good pick-up line. Being an 'honorary woman' gave access to that inner circle of women by being intuitive, using that 'right brain' and showing an affinity with the arts.
The 'left brain', with its practical, mechanical and analytical characteristics can be in conflict with the 'right brain' and, as any woman will quickly tell you, men are not multi-taskers.
Oh well, I'll give it a try. I'll make a sponge cake by candlelight before tuning into the rugby and world cup soccor highlights.

Candles in the bathroom?
You poor sod. Next thing your nearest and dearest will insist on getting you some "exfoliating cream" designed for men.
Sometimes I think women would be happiest with an intelligent but mute problem fixing machine with a no-fart option and an on/off switch.
Oh yes and a Viagra button.

When I was younger, a good friend told me that women liked drunk men (Tony), and that they found them amusing. That's how I managed to stay celebate for many years of my youth. Thanks Tony.

Could I also add that the photo you are using at the start makes me feel vaguely uncomfortable?

Bloody hell.
The word confirmation asked for is:
chapbe
It's not supposed to be a relevant word.
