Today’s post is going to be a little different from the rest. In this post I hope YOU as readers and commenters will share stories of cool ways a gal can show her guy some love — both large and small.
These can be things you as a woman have done for your man that he seemed to really like, or things women have done for you as a man that made you feel especially loved. Also they can be stories of things you have seen others do that you thought were cool, or even things you wish someone would do, but hasn’t.
In short anything is fair game! The idea is to give the ladies following along some ideas for ways they can show their man more love, appreciation, and respect and take some positive steps toward crafting a happier relationship/marriage.
Please, dive in!
I show my guy love by leaving little post-it notes around for him to find!
Super cool FreakInTheSheets! I love ideas like that which basically don’t cost much of anything but are better than breaking the bank! I know a male friend who said he had a girlfriend who did that once and he still has those notes to this day! 😀
Here’s one I like to do, I’ll ask if there are any favorite family/childhood recipes that he remembers as amazingly good, then I will Google them or try to find the recipe and make them for him as a surprise! 🙂
This is one of the recipes, now a house favorite of mine and the Bloomettes here at Chateau Bloom, too!

Sometimes simple small things mean much they do
I show my guy love by leaving little post-it notes around for him to find!
Nekkid selfies they would be?
Hee Hee Hee
Heh, “freakinthesheets” stole my thunder.
I leave little notes around (or in his lunch, or in his luggage when he is going away for a trip).
When he worked nearby I would leave a little suprise or treat (like chocolate or something) from time to time on the windshield of his car, with a note.
Years ago, commenter Mauve found this for me.
While it’s G rated , it did make an impression. Whew!
Most everything I can think of should only be shared on sites dedicated to intimacy.
I did read on some website something that I think every women should take to heart. It went something like this “be a student of your husband/man”. You should have a PhD in ________ studies.
Lol gofigure, “adult” examples are fine, so long as they are, ahem, not too graphic! I think gals could use some ideas in this area, sex is so hard to talk about sometimes w/o people’s feelings getting hurt or something. So feel free!
Speaking of sex, I guess I will break the ice. I have heard many men in the manosphere say they wish their partners would show more enthusiasm in bed, be more actively involved rather than a passive participant who is just acting like, “can we hurry up and get this over with you horn dog!?!??” So that’s a way gals can show their love — show him how much you enjoy “being with him,” in the biblical sense 😉
My boyfriend definitely keeps all of his!
Lol Fuzzie, I love that polar bears flirting video! Although I am not so sure it’s G rated, that girl bear is pretty darn forward! 🙂
Well this didn’t go through the first time. This idea fits with the leave little notes/ cheap and easy ideas. Every 3-4 yrs my wife will give me romance coupons for our anniversary or valentines. Some are really simple like; pizza and air hockey or night at the bookstore. Some are much more intimate like; strip game or kisses all over. I get to redeem these anytime I want.
Very cool idea, gofigure!
RPG,
You must reading different sites than I am. If wives are going to pull that, it’s pretty low and they don’t deserve to be married.
Freak in the sheets,
I just visited your website and glanced around. You can do better than post-it note notes.
I didn’t go there but, I think her handle was a clue. 😛
A few years back I was asked to help a couple who had their house robbed. Long story short, they didn’t care about anything except one particular item. A videotape.
Turns out, at one point the wife had decided to give her husband a *special* present. She worked out a deal with a woman who did wedding videos and apparently it wasn’t her first rodeo, she even had a cottage set up with hidden cameras so couples on their honeymoon could make their own “reality” videos.
Husband didn’t know about it, what she told him was she had this fantasy, etc., etc., and he played along and “seduced” her and she did a strip-tease and then gave a pornstar performance with cameras filming from every angle. So, they had their sex-a-thon and then went out to eat and home. Later the wife and the videographer took all the video, mixed it up and cut it all down to about a 30 minute porn movie. She gave it to him some time later for his birthday.
I watched just enough to make sure it was the right tape (if you’d seen the couple you’d understand why I had zero interest), paid the guys that robbed their house and gave the tape back to the couple. She was terrified that it would go up on the internet, he was flipping out because it was one of his most valued possessions. Think about that.
Fast forward til about a year ago. Got in a discussion on a blog about false rape accusations and hidden cameras for insurance. Lots of discussion on the why’s and hows, yada, yada, yada, then then somebody mentions how porn is just porn… until you’re in it.
There was an *avalanche* of response to that. Apparently it’s true, watching yourself on the screen triggers the memories and makes it *so* much more interesting than just watching a couple of actors playing hide the salami. Especially if it’s 20 years later and neither of you look anything like you did back then…
Just an idea, girls. And you don’t have to give it to him, just knowing you’re being filmed will actually help you give him a real performance.
[NB: If you do this you’d better know how to encrypt the video file. A file with no encryption is like Pandora’s box, and you know what happened to her… You don’t want your box on the internet for all to see, do you? If you use a windows computer, the MyWinLocker is as good a solution as it gets, but if you forget your password… too bad, so sad]
Artisanal Toad,
You just reminded me of the phenomenal early success of Polaroid. While it was a far more expensive method of taking pictures, you didn’t have to send them out to be developed. I only mention this to confirm. Human nature does do unexpected things.
-Did the coupon book, but he didn’t use the coupons and then we moved and the movers saw the book.
-Made the tape, on our honeymoon but had to get rid of it when we got a remote assignment to South Korea since there was no where I could keep it that I thought was safe enough. I would really love to see that thing now though.
-got a tattoo for Mike
-got a piercing for Mike
-Sometimes I mix it up a bit with the “unmentionables” (but those specifics will remain unmentioned)
The single most important thing a woman can bring is a good attitude towards sexual intimacy. That good attitude should have two components:
1. Willingness- ladies you should be trying to find reasons to be in bed with your man. Unfortunately, most woman try to find reason to avoid being in bed with their man.
2. Adventure and solutions- any woman, or man, can find challenges that prevent you from doing a particular something. Rare is the woman that will accept that something and find solutions on how to overcome those challenges.
Quick example: I suggested to the wife that we had never used the kitchen counter during love making and we have several children that would complicate that opportunity. First, she accepted that the kitchen counter was a possibility and then we figured out how to do make it work.
Since very few ideas are getting shared I will throw some out. Sorry if any of these are TMI.
First, I have thought about the whole video thing but anything that even has the possibility of getting into someone else hands is a no go. Especially, if it the hands belong to my kids.
Some of my favorites memories:
1. For my birthday we got dressed up nice. She wore a skirt and blouse. We went to dinner and bowling. By the end of dinner her panties were in my pocket and by the end of bowling so was here bra. (how do I add an emoji).
2.she put on some nice lingerie that was clearly see through and we went and played golf on the Wii. She tried and succeeded in being as distracting as possible.
3. Driving home from work at 10:30 PM mentioned that when I got home I would love to see her naked on the couch using a certain toy. (Maybe I should start working nights again).
Other great ideas:
1. called on my way home and mentioned that when I got home I would like her to be wearing a skirt with nothing underneath.
2. She wore a push up bra and a button down blouse and we went out for the evening. (This is the only time she has ever shown cleavage in a public setting).
3.She laid naked on the table, placed some small snacks on her body and said “your welcome to anything you want”.
4. Climbed into bed naked.
5. Called on my way home from work and said pick a new room we have never used before and be ready for me. Air mattress and wife were ready when I got home.
6. She wore a thin shirt without a bra and when she stretched it was a nice view.
7. Start making love to her while her clothes are still on. (She has asked for this one several times).
7.a Start making love to her while her clothes are still on. Then I make her ask/beg to have here clothes taken off. (Trust me guys, there is nothing like having a women that can’t wait to get out of her clothes).
8. cuddle on the couch and watch a movie naked. (good luck with the movie)
9. strip darts. Strip just about any game.
10. Get home wife makes out with me long enough for my hands to discover she is wearing a thong and appropriate top for underclothing.
11. she exercised naked for me for about 5 min.
Things I still want to do:
1. I have a fenced in back yard and a trampoline. I’m sure we can figure out something.
2. cook romantic dinner together. She is only wearing an apron.
3. take her out for romantic night, stop at store and buy her a complete new outfit from undies and bra to shoes and shirt. Have 30-40 min drive down some quite roads and have her change in the car. enjoy the night.
4. she plays just dance and after each dance she will remove 1 item of clothing while I watch.
Maybe I can add a few more later. I am sure Liz and Freak in the sheets could make interesting lists like this.
Let’s see…things I do for my lover:
-Buy him little chocolates and maple candies to hide in his coat pockets to find later whenever he comes over.
-Share my DVD and videogame collections to help him save money.
-Made a video with him.
-Write customized erotica for him.
-Send him sexy texts/pics, and ask for his own in return.
-Bought him a new, personalized Geeky Jersey, plus a handcarved obsidian dice set. Just because. ❤
-He speaks a decent amount of German, so I looked up loving phrases in said language and will text them randomly to him when he’s feeling down.
-Will answer his phone calls at any time, even at 3 in the morning, so he can vent and doesn’t go to bed upset.
-I already pay for our “dates”, but sometimes I will also tell the servers it’s his birthday (when it’s not) just so my extrovert can be the center of everyone’s attention for a little bit.
-After many years, I have mastered the art of making sure he knows I desire him 24/7/365, while simultaneously avoiding pressuring him for sex when his depression kicks in. This last one is the most difficult, lol.
Excellent list go figure, sounds like you guys have a fun marriage!
To do emoji’s some basics are
Colon + close parenthesis = 🙂
Semi colon + close parenthesis = 😉
Colon + open parenthesis = 😦
Colon + forward slash =

Excellent Tarn! 😀
(Go figure forgot that one, colon + uppercase D = 😀 )
4. Climbed into bed naked.
Omg, yes! He did this once when a flight of ours was canceled and we had to be put up in a hotel. He’d been really tired all day and was seriously pissed about the changes in our schedule, so I thought he’d just want to go to sleep and I didn’t bother trying to initiate anything. Figured my advances would be declined like usual when he gets this way.
But no! He climbed into bed completely unclothed and a fantastic time was had by us both. It’s such a simple action, but so sexy! I highly recommend!
GoFigure,
If you’re using your cell phone to comment, you can use those emojis, too. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, and I just have to press the microphone/other options key at the bottom of the keyboard, then select the Smiley icon to get to all my emojis. 😊🎁🎠💾🎲🎶🐰
Per the “list”, I think I’ve overshared enough. 🙂
Really, the best way (IMO) to show your man love is to make things happy and easy in general. Make the home a place he looks forward to being, and be the person he most wants to be with.
Liz,
about love coupons: if you have a willing lover they become redundant. Early in our marriage they worked but as my wife has improved as a lover they just collect dust. I have some that are 8 yrs old and have survived one move. I have no intentions of using them anytime soon.
I kind of worried that the kids might find them, too. Hope you keep them hidden, go figure. 😛
I kind of worried that the kids might find them
Embarrassing that might be
Them redeeming one free “get it on” one does not
It is always perplexing that women cannot seem to see the “secret”. That is, be pleasant, cook, be available and appreciative.
That is all that it takes
He speaks a decent amount of German, so I looked up loving phrases in said language and will text them randomly to him when he’s feeling down.
Hopefully there is no scheisse involved
Lol! No, no vulgarity involved FB.
My go to phrases are “Du bist wunderschön”, “Ich liebe dich”, and/or “Ich habe dich lieb” (depending on his mood), and I’ll sometimes call him “mein Schatz”.
I don’t like pet names used towards me, but he likes them used towards him. It works out. 😉
…be the person he most wants to be with.
Couldn’t have said it better, Liz.

Like gold these words are
I show love by embracing and supporting his strong alpha sex drive by letting him have a woman or two on the side. Its counterintuitive, but it has brought us a lot closer together and makes sex super hot. He shares all the details with me and we have fun with it.
@ Liz, I bet you and Mike both wish you still had that tape!
As I have mentioned before, growing up everytime a celebrity had nekkid photos surface, my mom would take that as a teachable moment to counsel me on why the policy should always, always, always be “No pictures!” (Remember this was pre-digital as well, so developing photos of any quality back then meant having them developed, etc.) Overall I think it was probably good advice, and I am sure glad now none of my ex’s has any photos, but I do wish I had had some photos taken at 18 just so *I* had them! Lol.
If I remarry, there will be nekkid selfies!
Anyway, tmi…, sorry, ahem, moving on…
Gofigure, that’s so cool that you don’t even *need* to cash in the coupons! IMHO that’s how it should be in marriage!
@ livinia welcome! There are several here that would love to have their gal do that for them! 🙂 If it works for you both, then I’d say it’s working!
While all of this is nice to hear, I don’t think I have ever experienced it. That women would be willing and cooperative partners to this extent is a revelation.
G rated trampoline video.
@ Fuzzie, smart women think about such things! Unfortunately, not enough women think about these things!
Fuzzie,
When you say things like this, it makes me wish you didn’t live 11+ hours away. You sound like the type of guy I usually game with, and that I gladly do/buy things for, to make them smile. Even if we were “just friends”, I’d want to make you happy. 🎁
Tarn is right. I really am a cinnamon roll. It’s still a revelation.
Liz,
You mentioned a tattoo for your SO, I got to tell you about the best one I have ever seen. Understand I am not a tattoo person at all, so I have never seen one that interests me. One day at the store I see a youngish 20 something young lady with a tattoo on her neck at the base of her hair. So the only way you can see it is when her hair is pulled up. It said “only for you”. I must of spent 20-30 min thinking about what I would be doing with her to see that tattoo if she was my women.
In the end I decided that was the first and only tattoo I’ve seen that I actually kind of like.
My favorite is to get through a day at home without a single complaint or criticism. Hers is to be taken out for the day to someplace fun (as she defines it) and a nice dinner out. I stopped expecting gratitude long ago. Silence is its own reward.
Tarn,
It is too bad. You could keep your eyes out for girl bears.
Blurkel,
I think that your ideal is more modest. It doesn’t involve ego massage.
goFigure, we went through a Dukes of Hazard phase, and I’ve always liked to collect clown puppets. So it was natural I suppose to get that tattoo of a clown puppet wearing a pair of Daisy Dukes, on my left buttock.
It’s super cool!
(just kidding) 🙂
I let him choose the tattoo and placement.
He picked a small heart shape, it’s on my lower abdomen/hip area.
Ok I’ve been reading your comments ladies. I have to say, it’s no wonder there are so many MGTOW nowadays. Post it notes? Are you serious? What are you 5 years old? Is that really the best you can come up with? Post it notes and bending over ? You don’t know anything about men. If you want to show your husband that you love and respect him you’ll have to do a lot better. What does a man really want when he is home from work? Food, peace and quiet. So feed him, keep your mouth shut and leave him alone untill he’s ready to bone and everything will be hunky dory. Don’t talk to him about your feelings. Don’t start arguments with him, and if you have a disagreement accept that you are probably wrong because you are an emotional basket case and just leave hime alone.
Fuzzie,
I’d absolutely be on the lookout for you!
Unfortunately, even with 2 sets of eyes completing such a task might not be realistic.
Blurkel,
You’re another guy I’d treat to a steak dinner and round of drinks if/when we ever meet irl.
Tarm, Thanks!
The subject of tattoos came up with my daughter. Seems appropriate to mention it here (if wives are looking for ideas) that I told her this is the only tattoo I would approve of:
“But no! He climbed into bed completely unclothed and a fantastic time was had by us both. It’s such a simple action, but so sexy! I highly recommend!”
LOL Tarn, my husband sleeps naked every night! He even gives me a strip tease when he comes home sometimes lol… because he works afternoons-evenings, so I’m usually up and waiting for him. But yes, it’s amazing how something so simple as just going to bed naked together every night, is so wonderful! ❤ 😀
“If I remarry, there will be nekkid selfies!”
NOOOOooo Bloom! Don’t do it!!! We’ve never done that because it’s way too easy for people to hack into phones or when you go in to even just upgrade your phone, unless you wipe the memory, those pics can still be on it. Or you just never know… your kids might find it on your phone or on his phone!!! :O
but I do wish I had had some photos taken at 18 just so *I* had them! Lol.
Yes, very interesting they would be
Toad,
That can’t be a tattoo. The lettering is raised. Besides, the message is only valid until the wedding. It can’t be permanent.
LOL Tarn, my husband sleeps naked every night!
I do the same, but my lover usually wears boxers and a t-shirt. Hence why it was such a treat, lol.
He even gives me a strip tease when he comes home sometimes lol… because he works afternoons-evenings, so I’m usually up and waiting for him.
My brain would melt from sheer awesome if my guy did that for me! Hmm. My 32nd birthday is coming up in a few months…that’d make a great gift. 😉
But yes, it’s amazing how something so simple as just going to bed naked together every night, is so wonderful!
Ah! I’m so jealous, Dragonfly!
My love lives over an hour away in his own home, and we both have full-time jobs that require early rising, so “sleepovers” only happen once in a blue moon. You and your husband are quite the lovely + lucky couple. 😀
You’re correct, Fuzzie.
It’s an Internet joke, but I think AT was “recommending” it in jest anyway. 😉
Lol Dragonfly, my mom would agree 100%! 🙂
@ fuzzie agreed re the tattoo. Apparently Toads daughter changed her mind about getting a tat after that so his strategy seemed to work!
RPG,
I can’t help but think that some young alpha might take that “tattoo” as a challenge. 😛
Today an absolutely adorable 25 year old (who looked 18!) stopped into my biz to talk about getting married here next Oct. she shyly brought up the idea of doing a professional boudoir photo shoot for her hubby to be as a wedding gift and I encouraged her to go for it! Apparently they met for only a few minutes two years back when she was on a date w a friend of a friend. He reached out via Facebook a year later, the chatted online for another year, went out on a date finally and before it was over decided, “I pick you!” Awwww. I just love a good love story! Ahhh, to be young again with a full life ahead of you!
Another gal stopped in to my farm biz, she was visiting the area from Las Vegas bc a relative had passed away. As we were talking it somehow came around to what she does for a living (she was talking about how she travels the world to all these amazing destinations) and turns out she was a professional escort! I never would have guessed it, nor did I know what to say! Lol. You just never know who will walk thru the door sometimes!
My neighbor who is single and helps me out w handyman stuff just happened to be here and he was quite taken w the escort! I think they may have exchanged numbers.
Love is in the air??? Spring fever anyway!
Maybe I will write a post about the neighbor sometime, he is a crack up, but let’s just say he’s the type who would not be phased whatsoever that she was a professional, in fact I think he would consider that a selling point! He was absolutely intrigued with the idea that she specializes in lovin’ for a livin’!
@ fuzzie hopefully that young alpha realizes Toad has a “you break it, you buy it” policy when it comes to his daughter’s, ahem, chastity. He’ll be extracting the bride price one way or another, I have a feeling! (More fathers should think this way…)
Fuzzie
It’s a real tat (not my daughter) and in that photo it was a fresh tattoo- the “raised” lettering is the result of normal swelling. That’s actually the indication that it is a real tat. As far as “until marriage” goes, the authority/responsibility of “Daddy” transfers to the husband, and if she’s stupid enough to get a tattoo, that’s his problem. Besides, all she has to do is stop waxing/shaving and who’s to know?
Bloom
Toad does not have the attitude of “you break it, you bought it.” My attitude is more like “You break it, you pay the price, and the hole is already dug…”
I don’t need to annul the marriage of a widow.
Toad, or that….! 🙂
Tattoo artists must see some really strange stuff.
By the way, pole dancing classes seem to be a thing now.
Several cougar acquaintences have asked if I want to go to these classes in the past few months. One aked me yesterday, which brought it to mind (they’re all either divorced and heavily into the singles scene or hoping to divorce and enter the singles scene)
More ghettoization.
It’s kind of like texting me and saying, “Hey Liz, want to go get a tramp stamp with me tomorrow?”
Okay if you are under 25. Maybe 28 max.
I do hope I’m not stepping on any toes with the above observation. But, so far I didn’t notice anyone mentioning taking pole dancing lessons.
Cats athletic they are.
But built for pole dancing they are not
Tramp Stamps never a good idea they are.
When 900 years old you are,
Look at it and say “Thinking what I was?”
Lol Liz! I have heard of the pole dancing classes, too. I suppose it’s probably pretty athletic? But yeah…. Plus can you imagine the drama at said classes w the group you describe? Sex in the city, cougar edition! Draaaama!
Tramp stamps were a fad I suppose, but now I know several gals who are getting them lasered off bc they imply…well…trampiness!
Off topic but I wonder how Holly Madison’s husband likes looking at the bunny on her bum? I bet not…
If a woman doesn’t look like a stripper, pole dancing is stupid because it puts the woman in a position in which she’s being compared to every woman he’s ever watched on stage.
Belly dancing doesn’t do that and it’s a hell of a lot more personal. Trust me, if all you’re wearing is that thing with all the coins… when you get close and put everything in motion, it won’t be long before you’re pole dancing the old-fashioned way.
Cougars + pole dancing?
Mental picture = A woman leaning waaaaaay out from the merry-go-round she’s riding, desperately trying to grab that brass ring one more time as the women just ahead of her are smashing into the wall and falling off into the gutter.
Indeed Toad, belly dancing is way more sensual and works for a wider range of feminine body styles. There is a Greek restaurant near me who has belly dancing on weekends, it’s mesmerizing to watch. I haven’t checked by I bet there are you tube instructional videos!
“My love lives over an hour away in his own home, and we both have full-time jobs that require early rising, so “sleepovers” only happen once in a blue moon. ”
That’s hard, Tarn 😦 ugh I bet you miss him!
If you get married, this will make sleepovers be every night 😉 it is one of the best perks of marriage, is getting to sleep next to someone you love all the time. You’d think it’d make you take it for granted, but even after almost 9 years, it doesn’t get old ❤
Yes, the cougars + pole dancing image ain’t pretty. But, I haven’t seen many great examples (cougar or no), most of my pole dancing viewing experiences were like watching narcoleptic mime butterface acts.
But, I’m no connoisseur nor was I in the business.
Belly dancing though, hm…can’t be a narcoleptic mime and do that.
Once on a dare and with some friends (one male, one female) I went and saw actual pole dancing, trust me, that did not look easy! It looked like a circus, or something, girls dangling upside down, right side up, etc. everywhere one looked! I was embarrassed as heck and beet red. Luckily my female friend (platonic, both were, in case anyone is getting the wrong idea) who was the one who insisted we go was embarrassed as well. We left after about 10 minutes! (Just when ya’ll thought you knew me! 😉 )
Liz,
Ask the cougars if they can keep up with her.
I think she was a bigger hit with the women in the audience than the men.
Bob Hope was a master at leading an audience… like when he’d have a funny sketch going and he’d make a certain face with the punch line. After three or four times, all he’d have to do is make that face and the audience cracked up.
With belly dancing, a woman can use it to put a man in a certain frame of mind and create a sensual space in his mind. Later, regardless of where she is and what she’s wearing, all she has to do is hold her arms out and put the hips in motion and *bang* he’s back in that space.
Pole dancing is an exercise in exhibitionist entertainment and all it is… is spectator entertainment. Belly dancing is sensuously *personal* in nature. It isn’t just belly dancing, other stuff works the same way, the point is what kind of state of mind it creates and where it leaves the intended audience.
One of my besties is a tattoo artist… he hates tatting women…… something about the only women he has inked and who didn’t know more about tattooing then him was my daughter….. he charges women extra most of the time
the Ton sleeps nekkid, with a tactical 870, boots and plate carrier by the bed. The girls sleep nekkid or back when Ton Spawn was getting up every 20 mins with a big t-shirt which leads into…..
our boy MGTOWMONK ain’t wrong. So much of what was listed as special occasion by you ladies is near on everyday behavior or she can/ will be replaced. For the guys, being slightly overbearing on this is better then being…. underbearing? Any rate panties? She better ask if i want her to wear them and which pair, and if I say go take them off and bring them to me there they go, to take them off etc etc
Pole dancing; I use to bang this stripper. She was an amazing athlete, classically trained ballerina. Real good looking girl, liked paid big money to travel and pole dance; also made a ton of cash doing fetish footwear modeling because she could walk in these shoes that were supposed to make a girl immobile( though I have no idea if that immobile part was part of the fetish thing, I think it was just the boots and shoes and what not). Any rate, loved watching her dance but like Toad kinda said, don’t think most gals could pull it off, nor do I even care if the Girls tried such a thing. Meeting me at the door, topless and on their knees is good enough
Most strippers aren’t classically trained dancers or athletes. If they can pull something off like this (or even ten percent this), I’m not throwing barbs.
I love that scene.
The Ukranian girl’s performance was impressive, but people watching a woman performing a stripper pole act in stillettos as though it were an Olympic sport is sort of weird to me.
I just finished doing our taxes. Gah.
Dragonfly,
That’s hard, Tarn 😦 ugh I bet you miss him!
Oh, I do but he has his life and I have mine. We do get together 2-3 times a week, plus our Friday night gaming sessions with our mutual friends though, so it’s not all bad.
If you get married, this will make sleepovers be every night 😉 it is one of the best perks of marriage, is getting to sleep next to someone you love all the time.
That *does* sound like an excellent perk, and one I’d really enjoy, alongside potentially having sex everyday, and it’d definitely be a lot easier to do the weekly things I listed on a daily basis instead. But…no marriage for me. I’m a firm MGTOW supporter, even in my own relationship. (That’s not to say I actively disapprove of good marriages like yours, or Liz and Mike’s.) It’s a huge relief, knowing he will never propose to me, as strange as that may seem.
You’d think it’d make you take it for granted, but even after almost 9 years, it doesn’t get old
Absolutely!
Never take any good thing in your life for granted, be it an experience or person. Fate is fickle, the unexpected is just that, and we don’t know what will happen from one day to the next. I’ll be 32 in June…my guy and I have been FwB since I was 22 and he was 37, and we were “just friends” since I was about 20 (we first met at a D&D game, how funny is that, lol). Each day his actions make me thankful we know one another, and I ensure he feels the same via my own. It’s the least lovers, married or not, can do for each other, imo.
Ugh is right, Liz.
I’m waiting to do mine until I have that extra $325 Obamacare fine saved up…Don’t want to dip into either my Gencon or regular savings if I don’t have to.
Sorry Tarn, that sucks. 😦
Obama care has really been a kick to the junk for a lot of people.
Liz,
I had forgotten about that movie. Every boy who saw it crushed on Jennifer Beals.
She was very hot.
She aged very well, too. 🙂
She must be living tight.
@ Liz, Doing taxes makes me get all red and splotchy and want a drink! I dread it… Glad you are on the other side!
For me, as a self employed person in a state that had some pf the highrst health insurance rates in the country, onamacare has helped. I was paying $700 a month for health insurance before that. Now I pay $0 and all prescriptions are also $0. The trouble is nobody seems to take it so its basically a catastrophic plan, if something really bad happens I can go to the ER I guess? But I am not getting routine/preventative care. There’s got to be somewhere in the middle
I actually liked the original plan, anyone could opt to buy into the same plan senators and what not had. How it went from that simple idea to this? Over a million dollars a day in lobby money from health insurance and pharma, making sure it got watered down to preserve their record profits….
@ Ton, true these “show your guy some love” things shouldn’t be just special occasion, but daily. Everyday should be a day to show someone you love them.
LOL I would rather the govt tell me I have to hire two personal assistants @55k each then pay taxes. Plus it would be cheaper. The tax on booze is insane.
The best thing to do with health care is…. kill insurance and govt interference. make doctors compete like the rest of us
Never been in to stripping or strip clubs. Way back in the day we had this NCO who held some of OP orders meetings at a local strip club who’s claim to fame was having the cheapest beer and the pugilist chicks. Talk about team building.
All of the strippers I remember banging I picked up somewhere else. Mostly the gym, once at breakfast and once I picked up three on my way to get ice cream in this beach town not normally known for for being a party town. They were strippers or hookers… or maybe nurses…. who can remember?
