I'm looking for a husband. Quit asking me so many damn questions, and
just sign-up, for cryin' out loud!

I am positively sick of working and want to quit. However, I am only in my mid 40's, so I cannot retire. And I have yet to win the lottery, although not for lack of trying. I want to stay at home the old-fashioned way, i.e., find a man to take care of me and the kids.

Any takers?

Here are my strong points:

1. I have all my original teeth.

2. I'll do all the cookin', cleanin', shoppin', laundry, child and pet care, hell I'll even take out the garbage!

3. I'll have sex with you once/month, even if I'm not in the mood.

4. I'm not extravagant, although I must insist on internet and cable TV.

Here's your duties:

1. Be gainfully employed.

2. Make sure all the automotive stuff gets done : repairs, oil change, rotate tires, wash/wax, and the like. I DO NOT do cars!

3. I do not care what you look like, but you've got to have decent personal hygiene.


That's it! Who could pass up a deal like this? I'll be accepting offers for till the end of the week.

9. Look at this "success story" blurb~!
Arlina met her husband, Mark (right), through the MOH print catalog. Their affection blossomed when Arlina sent for him in his homeland of Latvia. Mark's understanding of English is rough due to his learning disabilities, but they are both fluent in the language of love.


GOT to be a parody, but it is hilariously well done!

3. Not quite what I am looking for
"I'll have sex with you once/month, even if I'm not in the mood."

I would need you to pretend to be in the mood any time you got five minutes notice.

4. okay, maybe once/month is a little unreasonable.
Edited on Tue Aug-19-03 09:19 AM by bunnyj

42. You didnt give your age.
I'm 38, married, and frankly I dont know any guys my age who are single and the type I'd introduce to any woman I cared about. The single ones are half nuts, drunks, or have no money.

8. Well, I have insurance now through work,
but if I quit to stay home I'd need my husband to have dental insurance. After all, gotta keep the pearlies looking pearly, now don't we? And the young 'uns are going to need braces. Did I mention I had kids? Guess we'll be needing health insurance too...

12. I did a search
and came up with numerous sites for MEN looking for wives. Maybe there really is a market for this sort of thing...but not for women(not counting that silly site with all the studly hunks:)

14. Ya know, I think those mail order brides sites
are mostly offering foreign women to American men. For some reason, maybe correctly, foregin women are seen as less threatening (or more submissive) than American women. That's why they're so popular I guess.

I know of two guys, both 40 something. One is on his second mail order bride (one Russian, one Colombian), and the other only dates 20 year olds. They apparently cannot deal with women from their own country or age group.

49. Years ago...
there was an article in the WSJ about foreign brides. Most of the guys the author found got foreign brides because they couldn't handle uppity American wimmins.

One guy, somewhere west of here, said he was on his fourth wife. The others learned English, watched TV, made some friends, and started giving him crap.

This one, he sez, gets no English, TV, magazines or friends. He'll learn just enough Tagalog to tell her what to do, and she'll wear pajamas all day. And no shoes. Ever.

Ya know, if this were a just world, I'm thinkin' guys like that would be reincarnated as lesbians in Iran.

It's a shame some guys can be so threatened by a normal woman. No shoes, ever? Jeez that's creepy.

13. Are you near a Navy base?
I could find you a sailor...Gainfully employed, and gone most of the time, but he should be back to do regular car repairs...Best of all, a gaurentee of half his paycheck, whether he wants to give you any money or not!

15. No, but not too far away from a naval reserve center.
Does that count? Otherwise, a navy guy seems good! I could stand for my husband to be away a lot - would keep him from getting in my hair!!

16. Naval Reservists?
They have regular jobs and just do the one weekend a month thing.
Or, that's what they used to do.
Which reserve center? I might be able to get you one of the full timers...

is when they go to Norfolk for two weeks in the summer. The one I'm closest to is in Western PA. My little brother used to be in the Navy Reserves here.

18. LOL
Here are my strong points:

1. I have all my original teeth.

Mmph.. I like gummy women better... (if you don't get the joke... :o )

2. I'll do all the cookin', cleanin', shoppin', laundry, child and pet care, hell I'll even take out the garbage!

Right.

3. I'll have sex with you once/month, even if I'm not in the mood.

Uh, my wife would have a problem with that.

4. I'm not extravagant, although I must insist on internet and cable TV.

I watch cable TV on my computer.

Here's your duties:

1. Be gainfully employed.

Gainfully? How about break-evenly?

2. Make sure all the automotive stuff gets done : repairs, oil change, rotate tires, wash/wax, and the like. I DO NOT do cars!

Wax on, wax off.

3. I do not care what you look like, but you've got to have decent personal hygiene.

Ooops. What do you consider decent?

LOL - don't take me seriously... I am happily married, lol!

19. Ha Ha.! The wife part tipped me off!
Although maybe she'd appreciate having to "do it" one less time a month? Just kidding - I do not fool around with married men.

To answer your other questions: Break-evenly is fine, "decent" means showering daily and brushing teeth as often as needed (hint: at least once/day), and seriously, I WOULD do all the chores! I'm already doing that now, ain't I? :)

52. I have to make a Family Guy reference here...
in the episode "Dammit, Janet" (where Lois becomes a stewardess), Lois says that she wants to get a job and Meg says, "But Mom, last time you left Dad home alone he turned the house into a giant puppet!" and then it cut to Peter operating their house as a puppet and it was one of the most hilarious things I had ever seen on television.

54. You would get a whole lotta more choices if this country votes DEMOCRATIC
Instead of the money going into homes and families, beer and sushi bars, NFL/ABA/Etc, longer more frequent vacations, its going to the wqealthy and their GD military Industrial Complex.

The Pubs are fucking with our lives and now, the picks at Husbands R US is GD lousy.

Vote Dem and find a good Husband at the campaign headquarters.
