Just read the Style issue of The Times. it is a special men's edition - but I bet many men won't read it. It is all about aftershaves (they call it scent, but they mean aftershaves), clothes and women. One article was about how the writer had a young lady in his bedroom, only for her to walk out because he had a clock radio from Argos. Apparently she objected to its cheapness. I think Argos should sue. Gentlemen if a lady makes her excuses once she is actually sitting on your bed, it has nothing to do with the make of your radio.
When Steve and I began dating, I bought him some Penhagalon's aftershave. It was very expensive. The bottle was made of heavy glass and come in a silk lined box. I think he wore it once just to be polite. Steve isn't really into any of that. If its not radio controlled he is not interested. (He was beyond thrilled with the radio controlled watch I gave him for Christmas.) I watched the Ian Rankin interview last night on BBC4 talking about Rebus. Ian is married and was saying he gave Rebus a lot of characteristics he hasn't got. Ian said unmarried Rebus is allowed to make a mess in his flat. That hit a chord, Steve hasn't been allowed to make a mess in the last 9 years. A lot of our arguments have been about messiness. Talking about arguments- I never believe those couples who say "Oh, we never argue." Who are they kidding?

Before I comment, who wrote the Times article, a man or a women??
What do you call a woman who knows where he husband is every night?
A widow.'Nuff said!
Seems to be another tired using- material-things-to-judge-your-mate story.
Personally I encouraged (past tense since I'm now married) women to judge me by my toys because it helped to separate the potentials from the ones I'd never get along with to begin with. ;-)
