[SHIVER ME TIMBERS]

a member posted this over in general.....maybe you can tell us your side

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My women always seems to get mad at very little things a lot, and then she just won't talk to me, and expects me to make her happy again. This happens at least 3-4 times a week.

I'm getting pretty fed up, and I'm just wondering what you guys do when your women get mad???

"My women"? That's probably it right there, jealousy issues. Or maybe she's just mad because he can't spell! That sure pushes me right over the edge. Maybe the only thing that's going to make her happy is the fly fisherman.

IME, if somebody's giving someone else the silent treatment, some serious work needs to be done. But, as you say, there is another side to this story, and the only person who can really tell that is the referenced "women", not us.

(And yes, I am going to attempt to work the fly fisherman into every thread like this...it'll just be my version of the tampax picture.)

Stupid men, if they'd only do what we say, all the time, AND read our minds, they wouldn't have these problems.

Penny, that should be a sticky here in the lounge, with "The Secret to Making Women Happy" as the subject line: Stupid men, if they'd only do what we say, all the time, AND read our minds, they wouldn't have these problems.

And I have no objections to working the Fly Fisherman into every post. In fact, we should all change our avatars to FF. Although I'm somewhat partial to the Lonely Cowboy b/c with the FF's ass so naughtily uncovered, he feels a little ignored.

Oops......uh were we talking about something? Sorry I seem to have forgotten the original topic

 

[crashedandburned]

I already know how to keep my woman happy.

1) Pay attention to her
2) Keep her checking account full
3) Love her
4) Put money in her checking account
5) Massage her
6) Check her checking account to make sure it's full
7) Give her a foot rubbing
8) Put money in her checking account
etc....

Do all this and you shouldn't have a problem keeping the "Little Lady" happy.

No no it's a typo

He meant to post "What to do when women throws a TANDEM".

I don't think you can answer this without knowing the circumstances - is it an old rusty beater schwinn or a custom made davinci? How far did she throw it and where did it land?

Most importantly, what did the original poster do to piss her off so much?

OH of course! A *tandem*! Impy, you so smaaaart.

My advice on what to do when a women throws a tandem, especially if she can heave it any significant distance, is *get the h out of the way, d00d*!

Left the seat up and she fell in the toilet in the middle of the night?

Once is a tantrum

More than that starts to look like a way of life for the two of you; do the math.

 

[pedaling pyrate]

or maybe

Left the seat up and she fell in the toilet in the middle of the night?

He switched her seat to a guy's seat to take her bike on a ride and forgot to put her seat back on!

I say "B1tch, get in the kitchen and make me a pie!"

OK, actually we generally have a fight (I'm the one who does the silent treatment, but I don't do it often. My partner has a lot to say, especially when she's pissed.) Stuff gets worked out. She does not make me a pie.

nice try but it goes like this:

The Man's Prayer

I'm a man,
I can change,
if I have to,
I guess

 

[Impy]

... She does not make me a pie.

Hehehe

 

[brownieinSC]

You all are too funny

It probably didn't just start with this original tantrum. It probably just slowly built up and then she blew up. Either that or she could just be a drama queen. If you want to keep her then you got to work it out or just learn how to say 'Yes dear. You are right dear. Let's go out to a nice dinner dear.' but that doesn't sound like a happy relationship.

I needed this laugh this morning. I am having some crazy pregnancy dreams!

Disaster narrowly averted

Thank God he turned to the right place for advice - other guys on a mtn bike forum. Personally, I prefer to consult my lbs when my wife and I are having problems.

The Man's Prayer

I've always been partial to "If a man says something in a forest and there's no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?"

 

[Guest]

the wife threw a tantrum (if we had a tandem she would have thrown that too, but she isn't a beastly woman and wouldn't be able to throw it far) once when we were "lost" and darkness was getting ready to settle in on us. (no, there was nobody available to ask directions from) we were on a trail that had become pretty rough and i was riding about 65% of the terrain, which means she was walking nearly 100% of it.

there is really no way to deal with the situation. i tried being encouraging and that didn't do much, i tried getting angry and threatening her to no avail, i even carried/pushed both bikes for a while.

like i told her, it would all be fine and it was. we got back to the highway and all was well.

to her credit i think the biggest problem was that she was dehydrated and didn't eat enough. i need to get her to drink and eat more on long rides. that and the fact that she is going on trails that are a bit too advanced for her... oops

i have artificially shortened her learning curve for sure.

That's dumb. Everyone knows you go to your homosexual affair partner to discuss your marriage problems.

"No one understands me like he does!!!"

Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering what a tandtrum was!

I don't think you can answer this without knowing the circumstances - is it an old rusty beater schwinn or a custom made davinci? How far did she throw it and where did it land?

If it was a rusty schwinn that woman must be HUGE (burley?). I can't toss a single version very far much less a tandem.
