    my hub snore and it sounds like a bull with congestion... but i find comfort in hearing him snore... granted some nights it will wake me up and i will gently elbow him.. but it reminds me that he is there next to me... that im not alone because i have him and that he is resting peacfully at my side and not off doing god only knows what...

    it also drives me nuts when he puts his dirty clothes next to the laundry basket and not in it or leaves shaving cream in the sink... but i would be sad if he didnt do those things because they are things he does and as strange as it seems its those little odditys that make him unique and perfect for me...

    so yes he snores and it is okay.

    you made me think,
    about my bub... and all his special little things he does... that makes him unique..
    1month from tomorrow will be our 4 year anniversary:heart: ...and even though the boy drives me insanely crazy... im so in love with him, and want him to be in my future:ohwell: .
    He does things, I honestly think only a GOOD/REAL man would do, and for the most part, over all, he makes me incredibly happy.

    he also snores... hehe but it is usually funny, but I feel the same exact way about the snoring as you do.

    The Good/Real/ Men need to be praised every once in awhile.
    I feel the less they do, the more they hide, and ladies... how are they going to be found if they are hiding?

    Here's to the good Guyzz :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    wow...I was expecting a man bashing thread.....and was pleasantly surprised. It's nice to know that some people don't judge all men based on how a few of the bad ones act. Thank you.

    Exactly, I have that thought all of the time! Come work with me, they won't let you forget how much they hate men!

    I know...I'm getting ready to finish school to be a pharmacist (my ex is a tech), and I know precisely what you mean.

    Alright y'all, just keep in mind *most* manbashing comes from a place of deep hurt.

    Trail_addict, your little buddy is droolworthy :heart:

    I know that...but it doesn't excuse it, nor even justify it. When it comes to hurt...I could tell you stories that would break your heart. I've experienced physical abuse (I carry scars on my face, neck, and worst/most visible...my arms...and will for the rest of my life), emotional abuse, pain for myself and my children...pain for the one hurting me. I've nearly had my children taken from me by a mother biased system that didn't care about those childrens safety, only in awarding a mother her God given right to have custody of her children. There's a REASON I'm a single father of those three children...primarily because I refused to give them up...when I didn't cause the split...I didnt' lie, I didn't cheat, I didn't abandon my family for my own selfish reasons. This wasn't just my sons mother...it was my daughters mother as well, and whether it's my rotten choice of women or not...the experiences are still there.

    My point is here...you all know how I feel about women. And if anyone in this world has emotional justification to hate them, you're looking at him.

    Anyhow...that post may seem off topic...but if you think, it really isn't. I adore women in general...I truly believe that you are the physical embodiment of all that makes a family (and I don't mean housework and babysitting).

    I simply refuse to hold the faults of the few...against the many. Particularly when the many are so very, very incredible.

    I couldn't have states this better myself, with the exception of "I truly believe that you are the physical embodiment of all that makes a family (and I don't mean housework and babysitting)." but that would be another thread! I was about to post something to this effect. As I know several men that have gone through what you have. You all now have full custody of your children and with all they have gone through they don't go around bashing women as a whole. Thank you for sharing and showing what the meaning a man/father is about!

    Just remember...the important parts are the last two sentences. Without us...there would be no them. Without them...no us. But even more important...what a dull, boring, and dreary world we would have without what they bring to it.

    I couldn't hate them if I tried.

    That is why I whole heartily agree with what you are saying. With the exception of that statement, which again another thread. I can't hate women either, if it weren't for women there wouldn't be the Will and Grace's of the world. I love the Grace's in my life!

    "-they smell good without needing to put anything on"


    Hmm... maybe not some of the older ones who don't recognise the benefits of deodorant... got a right noseful the other day when I passed someone.

    I LOVE THIS THREAD!!! is it me or do we think alike? And the part where if they need to pee, they can just stand and go. Us girls hafta find a dark corner/ squat/ need something to wipe. They don't hafta worry about shaving, wearing heels... And if us girls sleep around we're called "insert bad word here" , but if they do it, they get promoted to the top of the social ladder...

    ok im kinda straying from the point.

    There are alot of men out there but only a few that are deserved to be called a man!!! BE PROUD "MANS" .... theres still some girls like us who appreciate what you do and why god made you.

    IMHO, i think god made men less high maintenance so they can focus on the women... LOLs****

    I'm not going to thank a man for doing the things human beings should do.

    I WILL thank my husband for working his tail off for 9 days away on a regular rotation, and only being able to spend time at home for 5 days. He provides for me, and gives up a lot for me, all so that I can go back to school. I love him immensely for that.

    I WILL thank my husband for putting up with my cat who I love just about as much as him, even though he has trouble breathing when he IS home.

    I WILL thank my husband for always trying, even if he fails (which he does often, lol)

    I WILL thank my husband for having the will power he has developed, and for praying every single day, and just making it through, one day at a time.

    I WILL thank my husband for cleaning up after me, even when he is pissy about it

    I WILL thank my husband for how much he loves my family, and treats them as though they are gold.

    I'm not going to thank a man for doing the things human beings should do.

    Can I ask why not? I've heard a similar sentiment from men, but mostly from women and I don't really understand it.

    I think it is absolutely right that we should expect a certain standard of behaviour from both men and women: that they be kind, they be honest, they be loyal and so forth. However when they meet that standard, when they live up to expectations then surely they should be praised for that? Is positive behaviour only worthy of praise if it exceeds our expectations?

    In my experience men and women generally do live up to being good people and that in itself deserves to be recognised and rewarded.

    Because that's just me.
    It would have been nice if you quoted the rest of what I wrote, because if anyone else reads this without looking at everything I wrote, they are going to think I'm a total butt face who hates men. P.S. I don't. I clearly love my husband.

    Fair dues.

    I wasn't trying to single you out but more trying to get my head round the logic of the statement generally. As I said, I have heard it a number of times and want to understand the rationale behind it. It doesn't make sense to me is all...

    Ok, let's take out the "thank", and put in "praise". I will THANK my husband for mowing the lawn, I really appreciate him doing that for me. I'm not going to praise him, and tell the whole neighbourhood about how wonderful a man he is for it.

    Maybe that is the distinction.

    Yep, that makes more sense. You are using it in a different context than how I have seen it used before however.

    I guess it is easy for people to feel like they are being taken for granted if an individual only praises when expectations are exceeded rather than met.

    Thanks for the clarification.
