Keeping your man ain’t what it used to be!

cal-retroart-0814-487_LMany of the facebook posts I see right now are these annoying ones which claim something shocking. You know what I am talking about, they say something like a man walks on to a stage and everyone is shocked by what he does. If you click on these most of the time they are something you have already seen or some stupid video they posted just to get you to the page and get advertising revenue. I say it is most of the time, the one I click on the other day was shocking. Not because of a video but because it was an article from the 1950s titled “7 Tip for keeping your man”. I laugh just at the title, how many things have changed from the fifties. I think if this were to get published today there would be cars on fire in the streets and whole towns burned to the ground. I could just imagine some college professor being run out of town for just mentioning any of these seven, but in the fifties, this was the advice being given. let’s start with number one, Don’t talk! The advice here that when your man gets home he doesn’t want to hear about your day, nice! One line in this is the best. That shooting pain in your left arm just keeps getting more intense? Keep it to yourself! Never mind you might be having a heart attack or that it might be that you need to see a doctor. First, I am not sure that was ever good advice, second it seems to me I would at least care that my wife is having issues, or why did you even marry her? The second one is priceless, Bad cooking will drive your man to seedy saloons. I don’t know how food in seedy saloons is better than bad cooking. It would not drive me to seedy saloons but to a nice restaurant. I like food, see all the posts about my struggles with being fat. If my wife was a bad cook, I would have been skinny, she is an awesome cook so I get fat. Unless in and out burger is considered seedy, I think my drive would go elsewhere.
