    24 Rules For Gentlemen in 2014

    Aww, geeze, don't get me started about the toilet seat,,,,,,,after many ,many fights over this, the only fair solution is that the seat AND lid goes down, for both. Both should have to bend over and pick something up and set it back down.

    24 Rules For Gentlemen in 2014

    I took out that list, as it's doesn't deserve relisting. Here's the thing. I said in another thread that I'm on a crusade to stamp out dysfunction. All that you describe is dysfunction. Y'all haven't got the monopoly on dysfunction, it's been around for a LONG time. The torch has been handed...

    Maternal Dissaproval

    well, maybe there shouldn't be, but the reality is, there are. Btw, he did indicate that his parents are helping him get through college. There is the matter of respect, it's his Mom, it's Christmas.

    Maternal Dissaproval

    we don't have enough info to know if it's about power and control. No one else in the family cares one way or the other, that doesn't sound like a power hungry family.

    Maternal Dissaproval

    IMO, grown men learn to pick their battles, whether it's with their spouce, Parents or children, co workers or whomever. You indicate that your parents are helping you with college, so that has to be taken into consideration. Surely the whole point of going to college is to be smarter. You're...

    24 Rules For Gentlemen in 2014

    Yes, they are all good ones. I would add, a real man is never dysfunctional- jealous, envious, egotisical, overbearing, suspicious, uber competitive, rude, etc. He's so confident that he wants anyone to be happy, even if it means not being with him.

    Maternal Dissaproval

    That's my guess,,,the gangster look. She rightly so, adamantly opposes that look.

    Putting it all together

    Well, another thing, the gangsters committed many crimes, including crimes of fashion. I find myself looking at old movies, but I don't want to look like a gangster.

    Putting it all together

    I've been told that dusty rose, coral pink shirts suit me because of my piercing blue eyes, but I don't see myself wearing that all the time.

    I think this is why fashion just went with wear whatever you want,,,,anything goes.

    Are There Any Men Who Do Not Talk Much Left?

    well, you're asking a sociological or psychology question. That would be something that those folks in those fields would have studied( and I'm sure somebody did). I'm not aware of such a study( but I haven't ever looked for it , either), but my Grandfather on my Dad's side said that in those...

    Are There Any Men Who Do Not Talk Much Left?

    Wow, so that really bothered you, huh? Why? Obviously you (mis)perceived me as being egotistical? Hmmm, well, that opinion is the same opinion that I learned in college( psychiatry/psychology/sociology), I just happen to agree. I wonder why you perceive the gauge of intelligence as being...

    What Does The FL Think of So-called Black Friday?

    well, I'm seeing some folks being bitter and cynical( read that, depressed) during this Holiday season( btw, does this happen every year about this time or every holiday?) and have chosen to pick on consumerism, but is that the real reason? I think not. If we're going to rail against bad people...

    Putting it all together

    well, I've read thru all 52 pages and am as confused as when I started. Seems more simple to just say what does not go, as just about anything goes. IMO, old pics are a bad example, as we don't know the intent of the dresser. Also, is this thread about fashion or style?

    Are There Any Men Who Do Not Talk Much Left?

    IMO, that phenom hasn't gone away, it still holds true today. Folks talk or not, for various reasons, but there is a common thread that goes back to the old saying that it's better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. Another school says that the more words...
