Why does every man alive seem to want to live in a pub? Or cemetary or opium den or the like? What's that all about, really?

Eh. I actually lived in a pub once years a ago, working there and cleaning and such, sleeping on the stage when life was a bit of a misery in a very small town with no job ops. As a longtime pal said to me tghen, it'll be a great tale when you're older. I'll add it to the loigfe of a comic book character of mine. In reality it was very stressful. Other than that, I'd like to build a pub. A woman who owned my fave music shop in Portland said the town needed the one I had built in my head. A goth/industrial/sci-fi/horror film themed place. Absinthe and mead available, local bands, art by locals. Too much money and the scene is dead there noe, like most other places I have lived. At the time it may have worked. Yet to live in one again, noooo thanks. I can't even frequent a pub without random memories of that time of my life. Were I to build mine, working there fine and all, for a time. If I didn't attraxct all the nuters and wanks in town. Surprisingly I found a lot of the what is built attracts a certain typoe, based on location and even name. And since I quit my ale swilling days, no need.

I've seen some dress work shirts that have logos that match what I descibe.  Occasionally I'll wear something like that if I'm going to a meeting.  Most of the time noone notices a thing.  Kind of funny in that the people that I'm meeting with make decisions at a high level, rarely do they pay attention to details.  It speaks to the quality of some of the decision making too.

Well, yeah, actually, Raven. On the cave thing, that is. Don't know about the kylie thing though. I'd like to custom design border patterns for the room that include skulls and other punk/goth designs in such a way as to be so subtle that they aren't noticed unless one closely inspects the patterns while at the same time completely overlooked by any normy's that see it.

@ Samedi

I have explained why I do not post i pic (for all you num nuts who give people a hard time for not posting a pic)
I have stated in the past...about a year ago, that if nobody gives me a hard time (for one year) about my non-pic I would post one.
Funny thing, I haven't posted a comment for long time...about half a year or more. first time I do somebody give me Sh*t.

Gothmatch does not have a problem with me empty picture frame, why should you?

Coward? maybe so, what ya going to do.


Sorry, I miss understood.

I could guess it would only bother a newlywed if her hubby spent all day down the road at the pub.

Glad to hear that is not the case:)

Regards
Walter

Quoting deeptranquillity:

Ravenmad, I've read it, and it's a good book.  And maybe it's big in Australia because it was an Ozzie that gave it to me.  Annoying though, as most of the things the women has I reckon are more useful in the current environment of modern society.  I want the eye thing for starters - men have pretty much fuck all visual range to the side, women, they have widescreen. :(  Means we get caught looking while they can get an eye full :P


A distant flutter?...a tiny bell, maybe...?

Hark! No! As it nears...the noise becomes thunderous...but in all, she feels the great sense of calm.

At last!...there was someone, other than herself...who had really seen the light...who understood that all wars between the sexes were futile, and that in itself, brings Deep Tranquility...

Yes, wood paneling in most of the rooms, it's the way the place came. I'm in the process of redoing most of the rooms where I'll keep panel up to chair rail height but wallboard the rest of the way up. The dining room will have floral border when I'm finished.

It's probably a comfort thing. All men need a cave of sorts, so it's most likely something like that going on. One room, made up like a den, put in a wet bar, tv, pool table maybe. By the time I'm finished these things are part of the plan.

Bonnster depends on the whorehouse...I've been in high class ones that look like some cute lil fantasy and some in which it looks like a gangbang movie is about to begin...I grew up in San Diego and it really is another world with Mexico so close.
 
On a side note I took a gf from here down there because she was always wanting to go and see what the real word was like...She was shocked and awed at the beauty of some of the girls yet at the whole cheap feeling to it.
 
Hmmmm maybe that's why I am how I am?...Women are either love objects or objects...Weird never really thought about that.

Oh, right, I see what you're getting at. Well, must be that thing where people gradually change their local environment to suit their personal tastes, and the personal tastes of most men I know (including myself) seem to revolve around booze, sex, and recreational drug use.

If this is happening to your hubby, Bonnster, take it as an indication that he prefers spending time there than going out to the local pub/whorehouse/opium den. It's a good thing.

What I mean is turning your house into it, not actually living at the pub. Walter, why would you assume it bothers me? It doesn't. I actually insisted that my hubby bring in his beer bottle collection and I put it up in my dining room and letting him turn my house into a home pub. Does that mean he wants to hang with me more? Is it because guys feel more relaxed in a pub than in a woman's home? What is wrong with lace doilies and flowers? LOL! Once again I am not starting an argument rather looking for you guys to enlighten us women on your décor choices. Obviously everyone is different, but I have seen many a bachelor pad and if you try to deny it you're just being elusive. HTPN you do have wood paneling, right? (LOL. Not flowered wallpaper.) Noooooods, what does a whorehouse look like?

For bonding...since the Industrial Revolution, men and boys have been separated; the young ones aren't learning the trades and deep-rooted customs from their male elders...as much...in a positive way.

They aren't hunting together...not fulfilling their instinct, as they should.

So, I guess they need these places to learn from each other, as they are, more and more, being nurtured by females...single mums, teachers etc.

That was the positive note.

Otherwise, it's because the world is abso-fucking-lutely full of alcoholics!!!!

I'll keep saying it until someone says...just one person...says they have read it...

Why Men Don't Listen and Women Don't Read Maps by Alan Pease...brilliant read and helps to understand male/female behaviour. Another one...Human Instinct by Robert Winston. Both should be compulsory text in schools.

Visit, perhaps. But live? In a pub? This must be a particularly Scottish thing, Bonnster. I mean public recreational facilities are fun and all but they're not great places to deal with hangovers. Eventually you have to head home and rummage through the medicine cabinet.

Why should this bother you?

Would it be better if it were a church or club or work?
maybe the guys know that it is not healthy hanging around the wife all day.

When the wife gets pissed off because the hubby has to go to work in the morning to earn a living.

Then you know that is the beginning of the end.

I guess it would have something to do with release.
Getting away from it all.

Regards

Walter
