Five tips for a woman....
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.
Have a great week!

Courage
Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone to tell you
that you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising
which tempt you to believe that your
critics are right.
To map out a course of action
and follow it to an end
requires courage.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I LOVE it, Terri! I'd like to send this to, oh perhaps a couple hundred of my closest friends! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I guess I'm the only one who thinks this is in poor taste given the damage infidelity does to marriage.

I think it might be in poor taste if posted on the Infidelity forums. Otherwise, it's a lighthearted joke for us in the dating world. Thanks for the giggle, terri. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's funny, my wife left and had an affair. Now I can "legally" data. Didn't really find it light hearted.
I guess I just can't see how it's ok to wink at this here, but to poo-poo such behavior in the infidelity forums.
But that's just me,

Confused,
I'm sorry. I didn't mean any harm. I know you've been through, and are going through a hard time. (been there, done it.)
I just meant that this forum was designed for "divorced and dating" folks, most of which had worked through the most painful triggers, and could use some lighthearted humor about men/women and dating.
Again, I'm sorry.

The thing is, had I not been cheated on, I would probably chuckle too.
I don't know if I could ever get to that point again.
For me, it wouldn't be right, knowing what I know now.
Oh, and apology accepted. I know you weren't trying to hurt me.

Well, I certainly was cheated on.
I am also, tired of paying for my ex wife's sins.
And I think the joke is funny.
Just another guy exploring middle age.

I don't see that the joke is about infidelity at all! I think it's about how rare "the complete package" is.
I'm sure there's a similar list for men looking for the ideal woman.
1. A woman who is as avid about your hobby/sports as you are
2. A woman who actually means nothing is bothering her when she says nothing is wrong.
3. A woman who laughs at your jokes.
4. A woman who can be counted on and is honest
5. A woman who looks like a demi-goddess first thing in the morning.
Okay the last one is complete fantasy for anyone over the age of 35 who's following the 10 year rule. But, you get the idea.

GG, you can probably change #5 to "A woman who wants sex on a daily basis."

Confused, I wonder what the reaction would have been if a guy had first posted this list with: 5. It is important that these four women don't know each other Yes, I agree it's funny because the complete package is hard to find but what is good for the goose is good for the gander when it comes to sexist jokes. How many women would be outraged at a male poster if a woman posted that she was offended (or emotionally shattered) by this joke? How many would rush to protect the victim? Isn't doing so for one sex and not the other a form of hypocrisy? Just my $0.02 worth

I think people are taking life way too seriously sometimes! I have also been cheated on TWICE. (And sadly, I also made the same mistake some years ago.) And yes, infidelity is heartbreaking and awful and I lost my marriage partner of 19 years to another woman!! But it happened, it's over with, and I'm not letting anger and hurt and resentment about it ruin the rest of my life.
Guys/gals...this is a joke. It's just a funny. I've seen it before, and I laughed, and I laughed again this time. You're right, it's the "complete package" thing. It sort of points out that no one is perfect.
I would just as quickly laugh at a similar list from the guys. I know I'm not perfect either.

Hey Buddy, I understand where you are coming from. I was there not long ago myself. Nothing remotely associated with cheating, or even the slightest hint of it, did I or could I find funny.
It is a period I think we all have to go through to get better.
I have heard this joke many times except the punchline was "These women must never meet", It was funny then and it's funny now. The thing is your still feeling some angst and pain from your situation so you will be sensative to it.
But really, the joke isn't about infidelity....It's about the search for the perfect package.
Good Luck Confused,
