You remember, too, eh?  :D O well. . .  now I'm just sad at the state of
things today, for both sides of the gender divide. . .

Of course! Parental love is like that. . . 

Of course, I've always considered myself a defender of any woman, not just
family. . .

Sdadly things are wack now. An old Catholic friend/mentor of mine saw & heard
boys cussing loudly in front of girls.  He talked to the louder one & said,
"It's not polite to swear in front of young ladies, you know."

The one teen girl got in his face & started cussing him out for saying that!

He grew up in the '50s, when you at least tried to respect the sweeter sex. .
. (& elders, & government leaders, & cops, & teachers)

Now all bets are off. . . I was a disrespectful little turd in my preteens &
early teens, but I grew up - so many out there haven't. . *sigh*

Now I'm the old curmudgeon, at only 54! *LOL*  Oh well, I stand by my
principles, & if you don't ike these principles, I've got others. . .

I don't have these gender issue battles that so may complain about. I put the
toilet seat & lid down after every use & so does my wife.  This way everyone
lifts once & everyone drops once. . .

& we don't fight over money; I earn money to the best of my ability & sgive 
it to her first to pay bills & spend as she sees fit; if there;'s some
leftover, I might take some money forcash on hand for snacks, coffee, impulse
buys. . . I used to play poker weekly , cost $2/week, but I was averaging a
net profit of over $1,500/year(i.e. $100 invested gained ~$1,600), so it was
worth it! That got shut down cuz of covid, of course, so now we just play for
points & bragging rights in a weekly club tournamemt we created on
PokerStars.net

The only reason I work is to take care of my wife & kids -- if I were single,
I'd be happy with a tiny room, & enough to eat reasonably, & some dating
money, because I love the company of the Beautiful Sex when I eat.

We divided up chores easily enough. I can't do certain things like dishes, so
they do those.  Can't do laundry either & in this non-accessible unit, can't
much cook, but her offer was if I provide the stuff she wants for the 
kitchen, laundry, & preferred diapers, she'll happily take care of those
chores. . .  SOLD! 

We both hate shopping, so I made one of my wedding gifts that I'd do the
grocery & clothes shopping.

She likes shopping online, so she does, & I'm all for it!

Whatever her hobbies, I say go for it, & earn extra money if needed. . .

I don't get why so many marriages end in divorce -- it's easy to keep it 
going if you love each other & if you don't, what business getting married in
the first place? (we were old enough to have figured that out)

Our modeling actual love was catching, as our kids are the same -- loving
family unconditionally, helping others in need when possible. . .

My son, when 3 adopted a local homeless man & ensured every turkey meal there
was a large(double) meal set aside for 'Cowboy' that one of us delivered to
him at his panhandling spot.

This I tell everyone; just love!

There'll never be a true war of the sexes, as there's too much fraternizing
with the enemy!

Women's tee-shirt slogans (some cheekier than others)

I'm out of estrogen. I have a gun.
Guys have feelings too. But like... who cares?
I don't believe in miracles. I rely on them.
Next mood swing: 6 minutes.
I hate everybody, and you're next.
Please don't make me kill you.
And your point is ...
I used to be schizophrenic, but we're OK now.
I'm busy. You're ugly. Have a nice day.
Warning: I have an attitude and I know how to use it.
Remember my name - you'll be screaming it later.

& for men:
Battered women? & all this time I've been eating them raw!


Puns cuz. . puns!

My wife asked me, “Why don’t you treat me like you did when we were first
dating!?”
So I took her to dinner and a movie then dropped her off at her parents’
house...

I was dating a communist recently
It was a horrible relationship, all the red flags were there.

My ex wife has started dating an Italian bricklayer.
She said, "It's cement to be...."

I'm starting a new dating service in Prague.
It's called Czech-Mate

What did Sophocles call his dating service in Ancient Greece?
Oedipal Arrangements.

I started up a dating site for chickens, but it's not my main job, I'm just
doing it…
…to make hens meet.

Tired of online dating? You're not alone.
Oh, wait! Yes you are, that's why you are online dating.
[I know, I know, kinda cruel to our main demographic here]

I might be dating myself by admitting this...
but since the 80s, I've only gone to the movies alone.
