Johnny asked his teacher a riddle. He said there were three women eating icecream cones on a picnic bench. One was licking the icecream, another was sucking the icecream, the last was chewing the icecream.
He asked his teacher which woman she thought was married. His teacher thought and thought and finally said the one sucking the icecream.
Johnny said 'No, she's the one wearing the wedding ring. But I like the way you think.
ex70shouston -- I take alittle stand against that one.....
I DO NOT LOOK LIKE MY MOTHER DID WHEN SHE WAS 48.
She has been a cronic smoker and has aged beyond her years. Her attitude was always negative, and I never saw her smile, or heard her laugh. At 48 she looked like 68, now at 73 she looks like 93+.
If you are referring to 'weight', Perhaps the men, too, have changed just as the women.
Its not always so 'cut n dry'.
I think in aging for men and women, ones 'attitude' plays a big role in the way one looks and feels.
I don't see how you can judge someone by how their mother looked.
What's that saying "Take a check up from the neck up"?
Here's another one: "Be nice to people on your way up, or you might meet them on your way down".
And, my personal favorite: "Beauty is skin deep". Man looks on the outward appearance, God looks on the heart. Our bodies are a product of an imperfect world. One day we will all look truly beautiful.
Wouldn't you just laugh if one day God told you that, those whom we've all judged as 'ugly', were really 'beautiful'. What if the 'WORLD' has it all wrong? :blink:

Yeah Jet. Why did Julia Roberts marry Lyle Lovett anyway? They both are extremely wealthy in their own right.
That reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode where Donna Douglas (Ellie Mae from the tv series The Beverly Hillbillies) is surrounded by 'ugly' but she believes that she is ugly and that they are beautiful. So she's having plastic surgery to look as they do. The surgery doesn't work, so she's relocated to an area where she can be accepted with the other "unfortunate ugly" ones.
Perhaps we (most ladies out there - me included) need a guys defination of Inner Ugly vs Inner Beauty. In case I have it wrong. I'm thinking most guys think a woman needs to be a 'Barbie Doll', with a 'beautiful mind and heart'. Now isn't THAT the perfect combo?
As with all 'humans' I think there is 'confidence' and then 'arrogance' (over confidence.).
Moderation is always Best. I admire people who are confident in themselves, their abilities, and yet not too arrogant to see the wonderful things about others.

In my vast learned experience he should have looked at there mothers.
Yes there mothers. What there moms look like now is a good idea what they will look like in 20 years.
Lets face it. We all marry beautiful women. Its just scary what they look like in 20 & 30 years later.

I'm a long and loyal fan of "The Twilight Zone", that one surely must have been engrained in my mind.
ROFLOL. :blink:

What I look for in women is a lack of ugly.
Outer beauty fades but the inner beauty stays.
A beautiful woman on the inside stays a beautiful woman.
When it gets down to it I have seen some ugly women.

So guys care to further explain 'ugly'? :blink:

Brother Speed's definition of 'inner ugliness' of a woman includes but is not limited to:
. engages in emotional outbursts more than saying 'I love you'
. has all the personality of a dial tone
. cannot boil water without burning it
. is more fridgid and less comforting than an icecube
. has no sense of humor
. thinks gifts on holidays are more important than the holidays themselves
. selfish is her middle name
. instead of a perma-grin, she has a perma-scowl

Perhaps as with outer beauty, inner beauty is also in the eye of the beholder.
