Hi ladies.

Pretend Man here.

I’m (40M) really concerned about my relationship with my beautiful wife. She’s 34, and an incredible mother to our two amazing boys. She’s stunning and I tell her this every day. I take care of myself too and go to the gym sixteen times a week. Other women have told me I’m a 9 but I dunno, I’d say 8, tops. I’m modest.
We make love twice a week and it’s always very tender and loving, our love-making. Passionate too. Gentle.

So my darling lady wife has been going through a tough time lately and I wanted some advice from you women because I know you all think alike and I figure it’s easier to ask you than to actually speak to her. But don’t worry, I know that not all women are alike so very interested to hear from as many of you who agree with me and want to fawn over me as possible.

She’s been made redundant, her father has a terminal illness, she’s undergoing some tests for a serious medical issue, and her Nana (96F) just died.

I think this has all been making her quite emotional, for some reason. I know you ladies get emotional at times so I’ve done everything I can to help her. Last week I babysat the children while she went to the funeral. I’m trying really hard and don’t think she appreciates me.

So what I wanted to ask is, would I be unreasonable to fuck her best friend because that’s pretty much the reason I posted here to begin with and everything else I said is just padding?

My wife has said that she would like another baby.
I don't understand, because after she had our first, she said it was the most agonising experience she's ever had.
Why would she want to do it again? Is she exaggerating the pain?
I mean, I was once kicked in the bollocks when playing rugby and I wouldn't willingly let someone do it again!

Hello ladies. I am a manly man. I will throw in a couple of bon mots essentially paraphrasing the advice given by some women upthread, and then sit back and accept your plaudits while you fawn over 'the man who gets it'. As is my due. Start fawning now, please.

Hi ladies

Man here. Wondered if you could settle an argument between myself and DW.

I’ve recently bought a leather jacket which I think looks cool, particularly when I’m on my new motorbike. But wifey says I look like a wanker.

I’m happy to PM you pictures if you like, so you can see what I mean?

Yeah mate - saw your pic on pistonheads. Your missus is right. You do look like a wanker. No offence mate.

I'm thinking that some of our manly posts will look very funny amidst (some of) our search histories!

Man here
I am reading these posts with absolute horror. I am so sorry that all you lovely ladies have to put up with such awful treatment from my fellow blokes. But some of us are real allies you know? Some of us really really love and appreciate women and all you do for us.
We love your imperfections and squidgy bits, you have given birth to our children, of course you won’t be as attractive any more but here’s the thing - some of us really dont mind, we are willing to overlook it.
Take my advice ladies, find a man who accepts you warts and all. There are some of us good guys out there

Eeew @Hoppinggreen

Hello fellow ladies.

I am a woman but here under a new name but penis beaker, tits, fannies etc.

My 14 year old daughter has really smelly socks. They’re white, ankle socks.

Can you tell me about how smelly your teenage daughters’ white ankle socks are?

Hi ladies.

I hope u can offer me some advise.

I've been in my current relationship 5 minutes, and she's definitely The One.

But now she says i have to buy her a new phone, give her 200% of my salary every month and raise her 17 dc.
She doesn't work, btw. But her ex pays full maintenance.

I'm just trying to be a nice guy here, but is she taking advantage of me?

Morning ladies

DW recently gave birth to our lovely DD and is breastfeeding. She's amazing, it's amazing what the female body can do, isn't it amazing? I went with her to the breastfeeding group at the children's centre. I sat in a rocking chair with a take away coffee I picked up on the way and had a play on my phone while DW started getting the baby ready to be weighed. The Health Visitor came rushing over. She told me that this is a women only group and I'd have to leave! She did also say that the 11am breastfeeding group welcomes partners but that the 9am is women only. She told me too that there are no hot drinks allowed for safety and no phones for safeguarding!? She offered some feeble excuses about safe spaces and some women being more comfortable with learning to breastfeed in a female-led group but it was bollocks, she was just a man hater. I took a stand and refused to leave so she called in the manager! I'm looking for some advice on how to write a complaint about this because how dare they block me from attending this 90 minute session even though all other sessions are open to me. I am a man, surely this is against my manly rights?

(Sadly this is based on a real man who did indeed refuse to move and then made a formal complaint to our children's centre about being politely asked to leave the women-only breastfeeding group and come back for the partners-welcome session later that morning. His justification was that as a father he had a right to be there).

We had one of these at the post natal breastfeeding workshop I attended, too.

Hi girlies just thought I'd drop in to say hi and see how you're all doing. Any of you ladies get lonely gimme a shout any time up to 5.30 cos my wife gets in from work at 6.
Anyway, gotta go, off to ride my bucking bronco, I can stay on for ages , dunno how, but I've been like that ever since my wife had whooping cough.

@PenguinEgg

Man here. Ladies, please help me I know you know about housework, feelings, relationships etc.

I take my belt off and leave it around the house in the middle of the floor in a different room every time because I'm thinking about important things. I then fold my shorts up neatly and leave them on the floor too. It's a neat pile I'm not an animal. I like to wander around in my boxers of an evening.

My dw always puts my belt back in my drawer, the same drawer every time. Anyway, I know you're all hanging on to my every word here; AIBU to ask dw where my belt is every day when I'm getting dressed? She often acts irritated with me and I don't know why. She's probably a bit busy with the toddler twins but it would only take a second to remind me where she keeps the belt.

Hey ladies, looking good there Wink !

I have been reading all about period pantz. I'd like to get some for my gorgeous wife (5' 8"and I help her keep her weight to no more than 8 stone). Could you share your experiences of them? This is a genuine question, I am not some perve, honest.
