Men, what did your mothers tell you about women and how to handle them?

Don’t get them pregnant. That was honestly pretty much it. As far as etiquette, I was essentially raised by multiple women, but I can’t remember them telling me anything. Maybe growing up around them already gave me an upper hand? I never had to be told to be respectful.

My mother would often quote this song lyric….....
“If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you”

Now, bless you mama & i’m sure you meant well, but fuck that!!
I guess I got the best of both world’s, a pretty gal & I wound up happy.

Nothing.

I asked my husband, and he says neither parent ever talked to him about this kind of thing. I find that so odd, as a parent. I’ve definitely talked to my girls over the years about relationships and boys.

I was told not to marry them just get the milk for free.

My mom’s basic advice about anything, oft repeated, was; “If all else fails, use your head.” I don’t think she meant that in the way I have applied it with women, but I have found that my literal interpretation works just great with most of them. :-)
