Dimmer Hitch

A man wants a woman with wit enough to see that the house is clean and figure the time for the roast to be done, raise children that are fit to be seen. A man wants a woman with wit enough to charm his clients at dinner. It's not really true that they like them dull, only a little bit dimmer!

Oh, is this ever precious, Elizabeth. You really nailed it. Who wants an 'uppity woman' in the castle? ~ Prince Charles. (Careful of what you wish for, Chuckie Baby!)

I love women, and they are all smarter than me. God in His Wisdom. Would not have it any other way. Love it!

I love women, especially those smarter than I am! But the majority of men do think women should be submissive servants rather than at least a peer, which is why so many women fail to develop their intrinsic talents and abilities and prove men need to change their attitude! Just look at all the cultures which believe women can't sing! Enjoyed! Aloha!

Rico, it's obvious from all your poetry and replies that you are very happy for women to display their full potential. That's why seeing you on my screen always makes me smile! Elizabeth

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect ! Never a truer word was committed to print, Elizabeth. I wonder how many of us have had to "act" a little dumb, and stroke a man's ego, when dating someone we were interested in. Your poem is brilliant.

Elizabeth, you have written such beautiful poetry. In point of fact, males are constantly self-centered and even lethargic; they view women as a slave excellent for accomplishing anything, including the tasks that are unfeasible.

Sotto, you actually made me weep a little. I was afraid to post this for fear of being lambasted so I feel quite relieved! A species dies out when its inherent behavior creates a vulnerability. Our competitive stance, not only male, I admit, is preventing our addressing poverty and climate change. Poof! Elizabeth
