The 7 Basic Needs of a Husband-- the Duggar Study Sheet.

[hadespussercats]

He forgot to start with 'air'.

I just passed that along. He was confounded. Then he claimed it was deliberate.

I think "Being right" is probably high on husbands' and wives' lists.

"Honey, what would you say the 7 basic needs of a husband are?"

"Needs?"

"Yeah. The 7 basic needs. Of a husband."

"Uhhhhh... Water. What?"

"Hee hee hee! No, go on-- I like where this is going."

"Okay. So-- water... ...
foooood... ... shelter... . . . . sleep...
hmmm...
Love."

"That's really far down on the list, honey!"

"Well. How many is that?"

"Five. You've got two left."

[extended period of thinking.]

"Kitties."

"Aw."

"And-- the sprog."

"That's a nice list, sweetie."

[Coito ergo sum]

What a progressive guy.

I think he took "needs" pretty literally.

I'll be back-- I need to go get him a glass of water.

On any of these issues, there is a defense mechanism men have. He's not going to say anything that would get you upset. We know how this works....

[Coito ergo sum]

Well, I found it illuminating.

The Seven Basic Needs of a Husband - Revised Edition - the order varies:

1. Pizza
2. Beer
3. Football without interruption, please.
4. A blowjob at half-time.
5. Straight talk - Don't beat around the bush or hint.
6. A home cooked meal.
7. Dirty sex (and maybe throw your hot girlfriend into the mix?)

#5-- I've heard a lot of men claim that one. But men have their sensitive topics, just like women do.

Discussing the concept of the female "hint" and "...if you don't already know, I'm not going to tell you..." stuff might take a whole 'nother thread....lol

[Coito ergo sum]

Regular sex
Dinner on time
Clean laundry
A tidy house
Well-raised children
Ignore the mistress
Know your place

Well, sure. But try to talk to most men about a haircut after they've passed 30? Worse than "Do these jeans make me look fat?" any day of the week.

I think that's why most guys at a certain age just buy some clippers and call it done.

Yeah, he's smart. I ain't gonna lie. He knows which side the bread's buttered on.

I'm not sure what you're getting at concerning the haircut. Do we hint about haircuts?

Oh - you mean if we ask you "does our haircut look good?" it's like the no-win "do these jeans make me look fat?" question? I'd never heard of that.

Eventually, we all learn that....

... I've developed a natural "think before you speak" switch in my brain.

It took a while in my life to learn a very simple fact about women. Sometimes, if you win, you still lose...

I'm talking about the bald spot, or the receding hairline.

Oh!

I was of the impression that most men are realists about it. Do you find that we are like the "do these jeans make me look fat?" thing when the baldness issue comes up?

I don't think men generally ask for the consoling response, the way women do-- but they are definitely self-conscious/preoccupied/need to be handled with kid gloves a bit about it. At least at first.

Older men who've had time to get used to it can usually joke again.

[Coito ergo sum]

I've heard women say it was a turn-off for men to discuss their appearance out loud.

CES's Theorem on Women #964 - Women want a man to be well dressed and well-groomed, but they don't want him fretting about it like a girl. So, advice to men is, even if you're not, act confident about your appearance, and don't talk about weight loss around women you want to date. Women don't want a guy to be more concerned about his appearance than they are about theirs.

I don't mind that stuff.

I just remember being surprised the first time I realized men do worry about that stuff.

Most of us don't worry that much about that stuff. The hair, yes, I'll give you that. Guys don't want to go bald. We want hair, and we want are dicks to work reasonably well. Beyond that, we're pretty flexible...
