We all know most do, but I want to know why! I have been sitting here since 8:45 waiting to go get some IHOP, and she still has not yet dried her hair! :mad:

Please take this the right way... STFU you SELFISH IDIOT!

:D

Love your wife, complement her when she arrives for breakfast, give her a passionate kiss. Trust me, the grass is NOT greener on the other side.

Mmmm, IHOP! I think that is where we are heading this morning, too! (It doesn't take me long to get ready.. :p Maybe I am one of the exceptions.)

Good advice. And very true!

Marry an inflatable doll, get a CO2 pump, and blow it up in no time when you want to head out to IHOP. There you go, instant wife!

I would suggest an herbal remedy, and a DVD of Pee Wee's playhouse, that's how I deal with this all the time.

Easy way to get over this- just look at one of those women who DON'T take that long to get ready. You will remember why you selected one that does!

Sh*t...I am heading out. Was thinking about riding the flatwoods loop and going for a run, but I am going to go wash/wax my ride and watch the pro bowl. But to give you a teaser about what I would do in this situation is. I wait on no chic. I won't be played for some fool who has to wait on one hand in foot and if I don't. I get the "your sleeping on the couch" or "your not getting any". F that. My junk is good and there are plenty who would love to give it a try. My mom raised me to not be a greedy person. I don't think she meant to not be greedy with my junk, but heh? By nature, I am just not greedy! :)

Hey Troop, you could try my method, and instead of Pee Wee (he can be a jerk :D ) you could watch Bill O'Liely.

And during our 30 years together, I have learned never to be behind her as we are walking out the door...without fail she will suddenly remember something and make an abrupt "about-face" and run me down with great determination! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: Married life is so wonderful! Really! I love it when she does that!! :love: :love:

No offense.. you look like you're about to push her into the water. And the look of fear on her face just confirms that. I have a feeling someone slept on the couch that night. :p

Same reason why I don't go outside dressed like vanilla ice. I want to look at least presentable.

we finally got out the door by 10:15, a full hour and a half. Let me repeat, an HOUR AND A F*ING HALF after she started. I love her to death, and she is the most beautiful person I have ever known, but c'mon, it was almost lunchtime by the time we got to IHOP. She didn't even put on any make-up, this was just a shower and hair drying.

I never sleep on the couch if it's my place. She's got a problem, she can learn to deal wtih it or we can talk.
And as to why chicks take so long... God almighty, I don't know, and really, most of them (at least my chick) look just as good without make-up. They need to relax and learn to live with their natural beauty.

Update:
We're going to the beach now, and she's getting ready. She's getting read to lay in the sun and jump in the water. And it's been about 25 minutes since she started. WHen we get there, she'll say: "I forgot to put sunscreen on."
Not saying nothing... just saying.

"Why do women take so long to get ready?"

It's one of those. like it or leave it thing. It's a part of the feminity.

Other similar things includes...

1) Keeps everything and never let go.
2) Gives signs but don't tell men what's the problem they have. Thinks men should know.
3) Go to shopping to spend time(main part) for hours, but not having something in mind before go to shopping and get it and get out like men do.
etc.

I can think of about a hundred of these.

With these dating skills, we can all take comfort in the fact that there will be no lil Mertons.

It's not easy trying to coordinate a pair of shorts and a jersey for color, especially if you have to think what color glove to wear with it. And then there's the helmet, you have to worry about matching the color of your helmet to your outfit. And then there are your sunglasses, you want those to coordinate too. And your socks, those should match the bike. And then shoes, don't even get me started on the shoes. On top of that, you have to make sure everything matches your frame...

Why? Because they can.

Says who? Really...why some men settle for "because they can..." is such a cop-out. I have had some "serious" relationships through the years. I get it out right away that I don't play the "DO this" game or I won't get the a*s. I also tell them I don't take chase either. So far so good. I just can't commit until I find the VERY VERY VERY VERY right person. The second I screw around and slip-up and fall in lust...there goes the retirement, funds, and inheritance.

I have a great wife. She cooks for me and makes sure I am fed well, does the grocery shopping, does the laundry, buys clothes for me (I hate malls).

I clean the kitchen, clean bathrooms, wash floors, vacuum, shovel driveways, open jars, etc.

However, as with any relationship we have our...moments. Like insisting that she has these fuzzy toliet seat covers that make the lid and seat fall down when trying to P.

So I got fed up with the damn lid slamming down yet again in the middle of a P, so I took the thing off, went outside, covered it in lighter fluid and set it alight.

That was a year ago, no seat cover since. Now I am workin' on all the damned pictures she has lying around. When I try to clean/vaccum/dust and I brush one picture it causes a chain reaction and they ALL fall down like dominos.

#%*&!@$ pictures!!

Serenity now....serenity now.....calm, blue ocean.....

On rides, every time the temp change five degrees means we have to stop and add or remove a layer of clothing. This means gloves come off, then the glove liners, then the offending outer garment, which gets folded and placed in the panniers which must be opened and closed, then on go the liners - oops, forgot to blow my nose, and just HOW does that lipstick look? - and "oh. I need some 'weak food" (hypoglycemia) and "can you help me open the cellophane wrapper" and then we need a drink after the weak food, on go the glove liners, the gloves, and we are rapidly on our way.

But, I love her dearly anyway, and am so happy she rides with me.

And guys, do you pee with gloves on or off? Wife has to go through the gloves off routine each rest stop.

They take forever to get ready in a futile attempt to drive their impatient and selfish partners insane,
hoping that they will flee - never to return.
