The Husband Store!!!

Husband Store

 

 

 

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

 

 

 

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

 

 

 

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

 

 

 

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs

 

 

 

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor , where the sign reads:

 

 

 

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

 

 

 

'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'

 

 

 

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

 

 

 

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

 

 

 

'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

 

 

 

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

 

 

 

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework .

 

 

 

'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'

 

 

 

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

 

 

 

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

 

 

 

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. (scroll and keep reading!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE:

 

 

 

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

 

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

 

 

 

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Great joke Joseph. However, it rasies 1 question: How many of us that would be in the husband store would keep going all the way to the top?

 

Unfortunately, it isn't only a woman thing. We have met the enemy and he is us.

I would have stopped at floor 3. If a guy is too perfect then I would be self conscious and probably he'll leave me for someone else sooner or later.

I'd be down in the basement looking for the ones with the big dicks.

I'm afraid they're on floor 8.

I'm not buying the male equivalent, at least for straights. I know a zillion men over 40 who are still looking for that woman who is gorgeous, intelligent, loves sex, has a great personality, isn't crazy. Men are much worse than women in that regard.

I think about that every time I look at Rich's or KenK's picture collections

I feel the same way. I won't date a man that looks better than me

I have hesitated responding to this thread because I have always hightly respected both greatness and josephga and wouldn't want my thoughts to be perceived as comments towards them as individuals.

 

This is a lesson I have learned over the past several years. It wasn't an easy one to learn, but I know it was an important one.

 

If someone does feel that dating someone better looking is "risky" and that the "better looking" partner will eventually leave them for someone else, the fact is that they will probably find their fears to come true. HOWEVER, I don't believe it is necessary the fault of the "better looking" partner. It very easily could be because of the lack of confidence on the other individual.

 

As I have shared on this forum, my partner and I are quite the opposite in many ways. While I'm am 47 and overweight, my partner is 27 and is in excellent shape and, if I say so myself, quite a hottie. We will be celebrating our sixth anniversary in three months.

 

The first year we were together was difficult for me at times. Because of the age difference ... and also because he was a bartender ... there were many times that I was very jealous of the attention he received from others. I often wondered when someone younger, someone better looking, someone in better shape, someone richer would come along. Over time I began to realize that my own anxieties were a bigger threat to our relationship than anything else. The bottom line was a realization that my fears underestimated (or better yet, undervalued) his love for me.

 

If I had refused to meet (let alone date) my partner because he was better looking, younger and hotter than I, then I would have missed out on the best years of my life.

Oh I understand your point. 2 of my ex's cheated on me and both were guys that were the less attractive in the relationship. The less attractive guys can fuck you over too. lol I talked with a therapist last year. My issue according too him is I'm a rescuer, picking damaged people thinking if i save them and love them i can fix them. Last guy I went out with was in 2005 dated 6 months. I thought okay this guy told me he was cheated on by his last 2 bf's even cried as he told me. I thought okay this is a winner he knows the pain of that he would never do such a thing.. I broke up with him 6 months later why? he cheated the whole relationship.

Oh my Greathands. Congratulations~~ I am always glad to see a happy couple. I hope you have many wonderful years to come with your loved ones. I am not saying it will not work or anything. I just don't want a perfect guy in every way. Kisses and hugs~~~
