Why the personal attacks? Are we not adults?
I really don't feel that I need to justify my position. I will say that attractive for me means just that. One who attracts. I am not attracted to other women. I do find many other women pleasant to the eye, but just not attractive. To each his own.
And, no, I don't have "lairy" (?) thoughts. We are both very happy with each other, and desire no other. That's the straight truth.
Honestly, I find men's lewd comments about women they do not know rather revealing as to how they may see my wife as well as the deception they practise in the most important relationship they find in their lives. I don't see other women attractive, I do not entertain thoughts of activity with them and do not make disparaging comments about them. We are adults, right? I know I am, and as such, consider my actions will let others know that.0 -

Good for you that you feel that way, but read the words and the meaning before mouthing off.
<irony OFF> you're a bit of a (other planet??) plonker aren't you really <ON>
Did you understand that bit?
Your gonna get a really weird reply to this, just you see :?
I told you so :?

Look what women are doing. They have us fighting amongst ourselves and they
never said a word. It's a conspiracy I tell you.

'Doesn't matter if you believe me or not, it's the way it is. I have what I need, don't need to 'fantasize' about others. And she's the same about me. I just don't need to. None look as good to me as my lovely wife, because I know what she's about. SHE...IS....SMOKIN. Sorry you didn't get what satisfies you.
Sorry to say, pal, you are wrong.
Speak strictly for yourself.
None light my face up like her, and I have been around a few blocks, obviously you are still on the road.
:shock:
If your good lady wife is half as good looking as you are modest then I can fully understand your feelings towards her. 0 -

She's like nothing else. As Gordon Sumner said, "Nothing like the sun." She fills my sky every day and night. Do none here feel such about their fair maidens? Speak up. "inside the minds of men" IS the title of this thread. Give up the info.
I don't see any other "taken" men speaking up for their lovely brides on this thread.
Steve, your double entendre' is vastly misplaced.
She IS a good lady, not HALF good looking, but ALL that I stated, I am not modest about it, and I am very happy that I am hers. We have many friends who commend us on our ease of presence around each other.
Why are you people debating me? State your claim to your woman. That's mainly what Popette was hoping you would do. Disprove her doubts. Get over it.
You guys are so damn fragile, it's eerie.0 -
Bikers46 When people have said "I do find other girls attractive" that doesn't mean they don't completly love & adore their partners you know, I find your comments saying you're still looking ignorant and certainly patronising in all honesty
Everyone is different and tolerance and understanding of others is key, which brings me to the question I started to formulate while reading your posts in this thread

Oh yeah, when we say your 'Ugg Boots' look "comfortable and warm" what we really mean is "what the hell were you thinking, woman?! Looks like you've stuck your feet in a big bread roll!"0

oooooohh, but they feel so sexy on your feet - soft sheepskin against your bare toes, it's lush; like walking around barefoot on a really deep shagpile carpet all day! It took me ages to finally buy a pair and I wish I'd done it years ago. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it Noir!

No, not religious. I never dumped on anyone here, nor have I ridiculed any person or nationality. I just presented my point of view and it ticked you off.
There are a few opinions I have about the popular attitude of the people in the UK as well, but I personally stay away from those tactics. I suppose if I were commenting on pedals or chains or BBs you would also practise acceptance.
I come to this forum and thread for the laughs, not advice. Everyone displays condecension in some way or another. Everyone.
I've been a member here for nearly 6 months and have also seen a bit of intolerance. Oh well.
You guys are no different than anyone else on any other forum based in the UK. I know of at least two other forums based over there and I see the same attitudes on them as I do here. As a matter of fact I've asked two members here, "What the hell?" and was told "They're all like that." So don't think yourself so pure. I'm sure all "Americans" are the same as well, but.....whatever. If you don't want or respect opinions, don't ask questions.
I made sure to say "I speak for myself" from the start, not for Americans or any other group of people.0 -
Maybe the difference is we have a sense of humour, and you don't appear to. I mean that in the nicest possible way: in my experience a significant number of Americans just don't "get" the UK humour at all. That's not to be patronising or arrogant, its just simply seems to be the case. Whether it's right or wrong depends on which side of the atlantic you are stood. What surprised most of my US colleagues over the years is that whilst politically the message from the UK is one of a "special relationship" between UK and US, that is indeed all it is; a political message. In reality, For most of us brits this isn't how we feel. Dare I say it, most Brits would secretly prefer the French.....hmmm then again perhaps not, but at least we (French and British or more specifically the English) can joke with each other about 1066 and garlic... 0

Speaking for yourself is just perfect, from my point of view, bikers46. And diversity is what make forums interesting.
Now, as I floated the "schizophrenia" idea above, it appears to me that either, b..46 is a counterexample, or we have failed to achieve semantic alignment on what the hell we're talking about.
As a long married man (25 years this year), I'm am aware that I react differently to a woman, even the image of a woman, than I do to a man or the image of a man. And it's that base level, subconscious reaction I was talking about. My best description of it is that it's a reaction to "beauty" which is of course in the eye of the beholder.0 -
Mmm on the one hand i'd tend to agree with the statement that, generaly, Americans don't 'get' irony or indeed our (i was raised over here so culturally i count myself British) sense of humour but on the other some of the funniest shows and comedians on tv are American and programmes like the Simpsons, Frasier and even Friends are full of irony.
Also i've had a pretty good laugh with most of the Americans i've known so i'm not sure if we're actually that different at all :?pm0 -

1066, That was when my mums side of the family came over here - my genealogy goes back that far! and I would have you know they were norse men - viking descent hence "normans" not french! (the blond hair blue eyes thing still runs strongly in that side of the family) They were just one of many people who held parts of france at some time0 -

OK, will (grudgingly) accept that sometimes comfort is all important but as for men wearing them... I did see a bloke down Oxford Road in them and had to fight the overwhelming urge to walk up to him and point out that he looked like a complete bell-piece. 0 -
I venture to assume that if I were to create an account and claim somewhere in the UK as home I would appear to have a sense of humor rather than appearing arrogant.
I find it extremely boring to have to defend everything I write here when I see so many other "blokes" here rattling cages, mainly because I know it won't change. I'd have my account deleted, but am not quite done building my Distance and may actually buy hydraulic brakes in the future or something similar.
When you have to deal with the musicians I have to, it's required to have a sense of humor just to keep from knocking some twit guitarist out.0 -
I also own everything Red Dwarf that can be found on DVD. Does that suffice?0

I'm fine with that, just know that I speak my mind when I can. I became a hick after moving from Seattle without a hitch.0

The fact of the matter is that I DO have a sense of humor, it's just that the web never does justice to innuendo or subtlety. It's impossible.
I used to make my family roll when I was younger, but they are all gone, but I digress. Now days I play music better than I tell jokes, and since moving to the SE US, the mountains are 2600 miles away now. They call the hills they have out here mountains. If there is no snow on it, it isn't a mountain.
It's all good.0 -
A good rule of thumb is you can say something that can be taken 2 ways one offensive and one all well and good
and it's not offensive... whether you mean it or not... who knowsPurveyor of sonic doom

OMG!
Talk about killing a thread.
SteveR and whoever else, well done for turning this into an anti-american rant, the original thread was really boring and pointless.
Bkers46 seriously, do you want a tissue to wipe your tears of joy at being married to such a wonderful woman?
For guidelines to marriage follow Cipo.
Leave her for a supermodel.
