Just tell her you're "enlightened".........that'll keep her guessing.::thumb:

 

LOL!

I can't believe I'm the only one who's heard this from their better half.

 

She would know better than any of us would.



btw, consider glow-in-the-dark nail polish.

 

Well, does she like the changes, or don't she?

 

It's only a problem if you start wearing her clothes...

 

I initially thought this too......but refrained....:thumb:

The thought of SR69 wearing his wife's stockings and an ESEE6 on a thigh rig kinda scared me.

 

My 7 year old daughter told me last night that she thinks her mom and I switched brains because I baked bread yesterday and put on a pot of oat groats so we could have home made oatmeal this morning.

I told my wife that after @ 30 years of being a slave to the job I'd love to switch roles and grow a garden, bake bread and have dinner waiting when she comes home. Of course that's much easier to do after the kids are out of the house.

 

I don't believe in roles. I've always believed a man should be able to do anything and everything. From rebuilding an engine to sewing, from cooking to building a house, and everything in between, or at least be conversant enough in the techniques to be able to "git 'er done".

Think about the mountain men, they sewed, they cooked, they built their shelter...if they needed to, they were an armorer, a farrier, and everything else.

 

just tell the wife you have reach a higher plane of existence

 

Specializing is for insects The more you know and the more you can do, the better off you are in all aspects of life.

 

Just tell her you have reached the 7th level of the dali lama.

 

Woman, what are you doing out of the kitchen!? HAHA

 

I'm not even going to entertain the perverted visions some of you have conjured up of me!

Wandering Starter, Trader Bob, thank you for feeling my pain! :thumb:

And I agree. That's one thing I'm diggin' about Survivalism; The Self Reliance angle.
I believe it's making me an infinitely better husband & father, a better provider,
and it's giving me this sense of confidence that I didn't know I never had.

I always had the right mindset to deal with adversity, but now I'm proactively
developing skills and not waiting for things to happen before I handle them.
You just don't know how much you don't know until you learn it.

...party pooper...

 

Where I live in the Arctic, Subsitence Hunting/Gathering/Fishing labor is divided among the sex, according with whats to be done, though everyone can and does each others job, there is a perfect harmony, found and set thousands of years ago that works quite well.
An old saying here is 'Where theres a Woman , it is warm.....where there is a Man, it is cold"....she runs the household, I run the outdoors.

Everything, meat, wood, skins, fish, everything includeing $$ is "hers" when I get it to the house..........when she makes/cooks/buys something, I get my fair share and go again. Our world turns quite well and we know our places.

 

Don't let any of the macho's around here fool you. A real man would WANT to share the responsibilities around the house. There are some things that I concentrate on (mechanics) and things that she concentrates on (clothes).. the rest we do together (dishes, cleaning, etc). Any man that sits around drinking beer and watching football games while there wife slaves around the house is not much of one to me... but that is just my opinion.

 

When I was married I had more shoes/boots than she did. Her shoes went with her clothes. My shoes and boots went with an activity. Duty boots, hiking boots, training boots, tennis shoes etc etc. I'm a fanatic about taking care of my feet.

And I don't feel womanly at all.

 

As long as you don't feel the sudden burning urge to blow dudes, or watch the view. Than your OK in my book.

Just smack her on the butt and tell her to make you a sandwich every now and than to even yourself out.

Every day and twice on Sunday!

Make lemonade out of it. Tell her your learning karma sutra. Ask her to learn it with you.

 

Hmm, to avoid having you make an arse of yourself in other languages: karma is that thing that bites you on the hiney after you've been a tool to someone who didn't deserve it. Like kicking a puppy outside the office, then getting home and finding out your wife has adopted three mastiffs, and they all hate you.

The Kama Sutra is that other, much more fun thing.

The butt smacking or the blowing dudes part?

Yes.

 

been up to that crap for years , my wife hasnt made THAT connection yet .
I guess its all in the context .
By the way , I like to use dental floss for the hand stitching on any heavy wear Items or leather work due to its high strength .
Aslo the wax on it makes it easier to pull through leather .
I also found that the white detail pen I bought for my truck works really well for painting sights and is a little more durable than nail polish .

 

As a woman, i think that it is great that you are learning these skills. I think that it is equally important for women to be open to learning some of the skills that are stereotyped for men. I find it ridiculous when when I meet women that won't even pump gas, yet alone change a tire... or are afraid that they might get some dirt under their finger nails.... sigh... these give us women bad names.

Good on you for being open to learning. It is a great example for everyone!

 

Thanks! :thumb:

My dad was a "man's man", but my mom was no slouch.
She could change a tire, weld, prep a coconut with a machete,
clear brush, etc...she was pretty hard core. AND she was the
most feminine woman I've ever seen in my life at the same time.

 

Fair warning, determu's advice might get you hurt.

Horned One's advice definitely will if you rip her best ones, or swipe them to put in your gear.

If you just want her to get a good laugh, order some hosiery online that's actually the right size for you so it isn't a total waste of money (order them as if you were 15 pounds lighter, we tend to be softer on the butt and thighs than you men are,) and model them for her before you pack them away.

If you kept her bare foot and pregnant she wouldn't notice....... seriously you're a *****cat(just to get the point): Use your nut sac for something other than defending the home:thumb:

the heavy tights work better than thermals with heavy hunting clothes. But tell her you thought they were cheap substitute for Body Armour brand.

 

Seems she should know you better than us.... Are you gonna change your name to Gina or something like that?
