To those about to fly to R/U/B

[Brad and Vika 129]

It's been almost three years since my wife and I have been back to Russia. I was up for a trip there this summer and suggested it to my wife but she said "NO, why would I want to go back there? It's dirty, ugly, and expensive. Let's see some place new." We are traveling to Canada and visiting relatives and my old home town in upstate New York. Next year she wants to visit Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. After that.......

Still waiting for that part of the journey to "kick in".

Gary, I have some simple advice for you. Act like a man! You're starting to sound like one of those TV show buffoon husbands.

There was a time in America when it was commonplace to find Playboy magazines sitting proudly next to the man of the house's easy chair...along with "Guns and Ammo" and "Field and Stream." My first wife actually got me a subscription to Playboy as a gift early in our marriage. Your wife can't handle Victoria's Secret catalogs! If I were you, I'd stock up on some Playboys and other such material and put them in a magazine rack next to your favorite chair.

Keywords..."first wife".

Realy, VV you needn't worry about me. I share some of our inside humor with the forum for whatever smile it may bring to people in similar situations. Apparently you are not in the same situation. I will not tell you what magazines to put next to your favorite chair. To apply anything more to it than the stories about seedless watermelons or whistling in the house is simply ridiculous. Really I do not need Playboy magazines since I have a gorgeous wife to look at and I haven't got bored of that yet. It isn't bragging, it is true. Sorry if you can't handle that. My wife subscribed to Victoria's Secret catalogs, VV, that is why they arrive here with her name on them. She can handle it. Don't worry.

I always preferred "Shooting Times" myself.

For the life of me I just can't believe someone when they say they don't check out other women because their woman is "good enough for them." While I admire them for trying (and even buying their own BS) I just can't accept it.

And here's why. You said you prefer Shooting Times. OK. Got it. Now, you have a gorgeous wife who gets VS catalogs yet you can't look through them and admire the contents because you have a "gorgeous" model at home. Well, you have a whole bunch of guns too yet you keep looking at gun magazines. Aren't your guns "gorgeous" too?

While I realize a man can't own just one gun, I simply do not buy that he doesn't look at other women because his is already "good enough." Like the insatiable need to still "see what's out there" when it comes to firearms - be that for simply admiring their beauty or learning of new and cutting edge techniques, etc. - how can there be no need to "see what's out there" with women?

I realize this is personal and it's your business, but as someone who just a few days ago was talking about Danica Patrick and Salma Hayek, it seems odd to me that what you have at home is so great you "don't" even look at anything else. To me, it sounds more like you "can't" look at anything else.

I'm not trying to take a shot at you here, like I said, it's your business. I just don't buy it.

Yes, it's not the way of men to totally stop looking and go into Tibetan monk mode. Either Gary is a real oddball or he's really throwing the bull.

While I agree that looking still happens, and will happen forever, I think, it's just different now for me. It gives me more of a "meh" feeling now.

Like my old boss used to say: "I'm married, I'm not dead"

Not needing Playboy and saying I never look at anything else is confusing two different things. I admire beautiful women it is true. I do not need Playboy magazine for that. I subscribe to Shooting Times to read the articles, not to offend my own guns by looking at photos of other guns.

But truly, looking at other women is such a small desire or temptation that I would never bother to spend the time or money on a magazine subscription. There is not a woman in Playboy worth the cover price or worth the effort to fill out the subscription card, in my opinion. I do not spend money to look at Danica Patrick or Salma Hayek and I consider neither to be better than what I have at home. Put a photo of Salma Hayek on a women's magazine cover and then stick it in the checkout line at the grocery store and I will look at it while I wait in line. Put Shooting Times next to it and I will look at the gun instead. Danica Patrick is a better driver than Alla, but she is 3 clicks below Alla in a bikini. Sorry. I could be biased, it is true. But I am not.

Guns, on the other hand, you can have as a many of those as you want. I try to get a new one every few months. Not that I get bored of them, no, not at all, but there are still so many needs I have for guns and so many "niches" to fill. I have never been one to buy into the "all-around gun" concept. Horror. Firearms designs change all the time, women do not. There is nothing "cutting edge" to keep up with in women Slim, evolution is a pretty slow process. The girls in Playboy now look the same as the ones in 1953, any improvement has been in cameras and film and maybe airbrush techniques. The women are the same.

I am a functioning male with normal levels of hormones, but I am well satisfied and looking at anything else is just very low on my list of things to do.

Yes, it's not the way of men to totally stop looking and go into Tibetan monk mode. Either Gary is a real oddball or he's really throwing the bull.

Hmm, OR, maybe, just maybe Gary is NOT a Tibetan monk but has no desire to read Playboy magazine or look at the photos. Is it possible that there could be something in the middle between porn-addicted wanker and Tibetan Monk?

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Or Alla reads here.

Actually Eekee, to my knowledge she does not. Not unless I ask her to. But I really don't know and I really don't care. What I say here is true and she would recognize it as such if she read it.

One has to look long and hard to find a more attractive woman than Alla (IMHO and that is all that matters since we are discussing who I look at) so what would be the point of me spending money to look at women less attractive than I see everyday at home? What is the sense? I guess I am in the same category as Mart. "Meh...so what?"

You do realise this sounds a little, um, suspect, don't you?

Gary, you're starting to really dance with this whole "looking at women" thing. I see two issues you brought up. One issue is Alla is jealous of you and lets you know it when you mention things like Victoria's Secret bikini models. Your response was to tell us you should learn to keep your mouth shut about such things. That's not being so happy with Alla you don't need to look at photos...that's saying you ought to hide the truth from your wife.

The second issue is you keep telling us Alla is so incredibly beautiful that every other woman pales in comparison. That not one woman in Playboy could turn your head away from your amazing Alla. I think some of us men here on RUB don't buy that but we can't disprove anything, so it's futile to argue.

But there is a phenomena many of us men have seen...or maybe even experienced. The situation where a man with a gorgeous babe wife or girlfriend dumps her for a less attractive woman. So, there ar other variables besides beauty that can draw a man's affections and desire.

Yes it is futile to argue what I believe or if I really do (or don't) look at Playboy magazine. Especailly among other people. Not only is it futile VV, but to continue to do so really makes me question you having any purpose in life at all. If dissecting this is somehow improving your life, I am pleased to bring this little pleasure to you. If you tire of it, you can go back to looking at Playboy.

I haven't experienced dumping a gorgeous wife or girlfriend for one less attractive, you will have to tell us about that.

Hey Elm, one of your strays got loose in our forum and started saying bad things about our women-folk and the women-folk from Darfur also. He/she is from Ireland, but it is the same as UK... anyway. Probably drunk, eh? Be a dear, will you, and collect him on your way out and drop him off in the gutter over in the UK forum. Maybe under a double decker, eh? Do you get them vaccinated before you let them out without a leash? Just a bit worried about viruses, y'know.

I wonder, do any of the RUB members ever come over there and say bad things about UK/Canadian girls?

What about people with wives from Darfur? Do they ever feel the need to make fun of UK women?

Hey. Hi. How ya doin'?

Poiteen is a she, most definitely a she, with a face as cute as a button and a rack to die for. She's also one of the sweetest and most compassionate people I know, and I know that from real life. When my life was a shambles, she drove over to my house and forced me to face the world again. I've benefitted from her hospitality again and again, and when the chips are down I am glad to have her in my corner.

Honestly, what you say above about British and Canadian people needing to be vaccinated, or Ireland being the same as the UK, is beyond me. Does it even merit a reply? I don't like to rise to bait if the fisherman isn't worth it.

Has she slammed your wives and fiancees? Or has it been the USC partners on here instead? I do beg your forgiveness, for I have but the slow-witted yet devious brain of a USC female to work with.
