Petrino - not riding solo (and fired at Louisville)

I always thought it was Little Oral Annie

 

Maybe more like Hedonism II

 

FIXED!

 

He must have told her she was intelligent when they were dating.

 

I'm sure everyone will be surprised when I compare a relationship to a business relationship, but...

I don't worry about my customers leaving me for a different vendor. I take good care of my customers. Everyone knows who they are. They're free to talk with them, but I'm not worried about losing them.

I remember years ago, when I had a brokerage operation one the trading floor of the New York Futures Exchange (NYFE). All of my competitors were located around the same trading ring.

On a busy day, you could see which brokers wee struggling to report their "fills" to their customers. When a broker was still going over his paperwork and hour after the closing bell had wrung, you knew he was really in the weeds.

Now, brokers tried to keep their customers a "secret", but give me a break, it wasn't that hard to know who they were.

So, one day, when a particular broker was struggling, I called his biggest customer, just to let him know I was available should his primary broker be swamped.

Well, his broker (who was crazy, and voted most likely to go "postal") comes charging over to me, threatening me and screaming at me for having the gall to call his customer.

I just let him know that if he took good care of "his customer" he had nothing to worry about.

Back then, I used to close on the day after Thanksgiving. I would give my customers the phone numbers of other brokers. I would let the other brokers know they might get a call from one of my customers. I wasn't worried about losing them.

It really is the same thing in a relationship. If you don't want your husband or wife looking for sex/love/affection/conversation elsewhere, then make sure you are providing it. It shouldn't be that hard.

And, this is no endorsement of cheating. I'm not looking to blame anyone, or any one gender. But, don't underestimate how important sex, intimacy, affection, and attention are to your spouse/partner.

This also isn't to say this explains every instance of cheating. Some people are just insecure, narcissistic, assholes, who will jump at the opportunity to boost their ego by getting some on the side.

Epicurus, while wanton, was no good in the sack.

Empedocles of Agrigentum, however, was bangin'.

 

You think that's what a relationship's all about? You've done your requirements; she must do her's.

You know something, freq? On this thread you've given us insight into the real you. Here you're not the Rico Suave that you are with the Ms. Barnes and Nobles of the world-- you're just you.

And you know what? The women here are repulsed.

Think about that.

 

Not to mention some of the men.

 

lol at you posters getting so repulsed.

 

Of course, some of the repulsed women probably still want you to take them to the cornfield.

 

That was a fascinating series of posts. May not be a moral leader, but I'd read his book.
