:
I have to say...looking at the times where women were home, getting laid, having children, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, and taking care of her man would be a dream.

Why isn't this acceptible anymore?

I dream of a house in the country, and a simple life of love, children, and growing old together.

It would complete me.

Anyone here dream of this type of life?



It's only a dream...it isn't real...it's only a dream...it isn't real...

So, you say you wanna get laid in the country?

There is nothing like getting laid in the country, ChocolateInvastion.

The atmosphere was made for getting booty.

It was you women that didn't want that anymore !!

Not me!

Now why is this only a dream? I think there are plenty of men left who would like their woman to be at home taking care of the kids. Perhaps you don't like that type of men

So why wouldn't it be possible?

When talking in a group setting, it's fairly obvious that women are expected to work, and not be a full-time wife/mother...

I've not seen/heard men going after this type of life, maybe I just haven't met the type.

I don't want my wife/girlfriend to take care of the kids, she should take care of me, I'm still a kid really.

Then, I don't live in the country (anymore) either.

If I can dream:

Me + LaVisHh + hay-stack...maybe not, your 38 and I'm 21...

Do you have a daughter?

LaVisHh said:

Don't care about what's expected, go for what you like to do.
Do you live in the country or in the city?

LaVisHh said:

my guess is you'll recieve 11 proposals before this thread is done...

ChocolateInvasion said:

No...she is very, very young...

Yea, I am old.

I would like my girlfriend to make so much money Í don't have to work so I can org all day and only stop to feed the degoes.

JeePee said:

Currently, I live in the city.

i would like 2 have a kind of dat one...

unfortunatly, u have 2 have a loving husband and a big house

but doncha think u would get bored by it...??
the same stuff every day

and u would throw up after watching tv shop every single day...!

so u go 2 every Prince concert till he dies, and don't u think more about getting laid on the kitchen table sweetie!

MrBliss said:

Nah...I don't know if men want to live this way, seriously. The notion is that women need to contribute financially, don't you think?

LaVisHh said:

Most men will only see the 'get laid' part and fall for it.

LaVisHh said:

See that might be the problem. In the city you meet mostly career type people. The coutry types are useually found... in the country. So move on out, into the country. Next weekend, take yer ol dpickup and move on out. Meet them nice people you're llooking for. Or somthing.

Fhunkin said:

It's not that women didn't want that anymore, it's that they wanted a chance to be able to do something else if they wanted to...they wanted a choice.
But, considering that women still make only 70 cents on the dollar for what a man makes doing the same job with the same education/level of experience (actual statistics for the state of Michigan) things are still not where they should be.

LaVisHh said:

my girl does now... but i want her to have the choice...

ChocolateInvasion said:

You think? I filled that with other activities, which says that I will be busy!

JeePee said:

It's that easy, eh?

You know, you may be right. I moved here to MPLS 10 years ago, from Hawaii, and the men here are very different. Maybe it really does go back to how we are raised.

MrBliss said:

Yes, she should have that choice...by all means...I hope it doesn't seem like I wouldn't want that choice.

applekisses said:

This is sooo true, applekisses. This is another thing that bothers me...if I do work (and I do) it seems I get nowhere.

LaVisHh said:

Let's see, I was with you up to the part about cooking, cleaning, washing clothes...
(hubby and I share chores)

I must say it feels just wonderful when I drop the kid off at school and come back home
and have a cup of coffee and turn the pc on.

And I love the sound of my husband mowing the lawn on a Saturday morning while I do things inside
to beautify the home.
And the stars at night...simply beautiful!
The country? It has its ups and downs.

(Can you say septic tank?)

i couldn't do it, man...i'm totally not the old-fashioned type.

'cept 4 my love of old-skool music, but that's just about where i stop...

LaVisHh said:

It's oversimplifying to say that's the solution, although I actualy might have said something that's right (for which I apologize).
But I think in the country you might find Mr. Right, wheras in the city you've got a bigger change of finding Mr Right-Now.

There's a lot to be said for the simple life

I was in the west of Ireland last year, in County Clare. Man I was blown away by how nice it was... two thirds of the country is busting their arses to live in the big city (Dublin) paying crazy money for rent and mortgages... and yet you could have a great life on the other side of the country with fresh air, big cheaper houses, and a more mellow pace of life. You should check it out LaV!

Unfortunately I'm a total city urchin... I like the noise and bustle of big cities. However, living in cities has an adverse affect my health, breathing, blood pressure etc so I reckon I'll go rustic in my later years

As for women staying at home and managing the household, having babies etc... nothing wrong with that, it's a very admirable thing to do. I'm all for it! The traditional roles exist for a reason (they work) and there's nothing wrong with people who still want that.

LaVisHh said:

and you wonder why every man here wants you...

LaVisHh said:

There is a reason, that Sex & The City was shot in a city, and that it's not Sex & The Countryside. It may actually be harder to get the right partner in the city.
