LEYKIS baby!

[SIZE=3]No offense to some of you Leykis fans but how can you actually tolerate listening to the man, let alone take dating/marital advise from a complete fat slob who contstantly disrespects women? Howard Stern does it, yes. Difference is, Howard is actually funny and does it for shock value. I'm not so sure about Leykis. He's not even funny, let alone intelligent.

[SIZE=1]Just my 2 cents worth...

my wife and i listen to lykis for purely entertainment, just like those astrology readings it's merely for entertainment and heaven forbid if some of the people actually take his dating advice. Plus he never advocates getting married anyway, so his approach to dating is if you dont get funked after a couple of dates then you need to move on...not conducive to finding a long term partner.

My girlfriend and I seem to get into more arguments over the phone then in person (and we live together). So we came up with a few things that seem to help keep the argument from escalating.

1) Never hang up the phone on the other person in the middle of an argument. (This usually just pisses the other person off even more and things will never get resolved.)

2) Always pick up the phone during an argument. (If you dont pick up it usually gives the person calling more time to stew and get angrier).

3) Always say "i love you" before hanging up during an argument.

These things usually won't resolve the argument but they will definitly help it from escalating into something much bigger then it needs to be.

his advice is not for the marrying type.. it's for getting laid for less money. Why be the guy who drops 200$ on a dinner date only to not get a piece of ass.??

if you want to get married, his show is not for you.

as much as people hate him, what he says makes a lot of sense.

My advice...
-God gave you two ears and one mouth and you should use them as intended.
-The only thing to come out of an arguement is yes dear.
-Drink often and laugh a lot.
-Do the small things that add up to great.
-Smack her on the ass just occasionally to show her that you still care!
-Ride her 10% more than your bike.
-If things are slow at home, slap an hormone patch on her back where whe won't notice.
-Don't eat or watch tv in bed. (I know I love it too)
-Share some ice cream.
-Only buy the flowers for no expected reason, not for a birthday, not for valentines, no b/c you F'ed up, not b/c she's mad
-If you can't spend a week together without wanting to run away or wonder why you are bored, don't get married.
-Know the family and make sure that the other person is grounded.
-smile and laugh.

You get major props for the flower sugestion!!! I actually buy my husband flowers at random times. It makes him smile!!!

As far as the TV in the bedroom, I finally gave in after 22 years. It's no longer an issue after that many years of marriage. Plus, it's easier to fall asleep in bed than on the couch. LOL.....

Call me a cold-hearted bastard but...
I'm just going for the not-getting-married option. If things don't work out...See Ya, Bye! No excessive fuss. Not nearly as much drama. No money lost in a long divorce litigation. Onto the next girl.
I've seen too many friends' lives turn into a business liquidation during divorce proceedings. Why would I want to try to navigate that mindfield? The odds of divorce in southern california are approximately 2 out of 3. It seems like an unecessary gamble. Why build you life around something where there is a 2 out of 3 chance of complete disaster?

It's not just the money, it's the freedom that I value the most. I don't like the idea of constantly having to answer to someone for every choice I make for every daily mundane affair.

Maybe some day I'll settle down at age 50 or so with a nice trophy wife and an air-tight prenup.

I honestly believe that if a couple has to have all kinds of rules and constant compromising, that something isn't right. Jason and I RARELY, if ever, have arguments because we understand eachother and we're best friends. We laugh together, have fun together, RIDE together, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We also trust eachother 100%, which is very important.

Happy wife, happy life may be true, but wife can't be happy without happy husband!! Then she'd be selfish!!

My advice......don't listen to anybody elses advice. No one else is in the same exact position you and your sig. other are. We are all unique. One person's advice may work....it may not, then get you into more trouble. It is a crap shoot, ya need to figure it out or learn it yourself.


FYI, I have been married 6 years next weekend, and with her for 11 years.
