Do men get bored easily?
My friend Paul used to warn me about keeping things spicy in my relationship: “You don’t want to ever let things get stagnant. Men get bored easily.” That’s great advice, now who is telling my man the same thing, because women get bored too, right?
There is some work involved in keeping your man’s attention. It is easy to get too comfortable and complacent. That’s when things start getting less sexy. However, should women really worry about men getting bored too easily? Why is it always on the woman to keep things hot?
Men, do you agree that some men get bored easily? What happens when he does get bored? Does that lead to wandering eye and seeking attention from other people?

One of the biggest things that I appreciate about M is that I don’t feel the need to always be entertaining him to keep him from being bored. We both know how to enjoy the sound of silence.

Personally I could not deal with a man I had to constantly entertain. Heck, even the kids know how to entertain themselves now!!

Afternoon all,
I tend to agree with the consensus today in that it’s on both parties to keep the relationship fresh. Exciting may not be the best word. You should be able to relish enjoying each others company without much effort IMO.

“Does that lead to wandering eye and seeking attention from other people?”
From my life experience’s you have 2 types of people with “wandering eyes”. For example I have known women who are “flirty”. They look at every guy that come into the room hoping to make eye contact to satisfy their curiousity. “Flirty” women bring unwanted attention and are dangerous. They put their man in harms way just because of their “flirty” nature. Some men feel they must protect their honor and confront other men who desire their “Flirty” woman.
Some men are “Con-Artist” who look to take advantage of any and all opportunities. For example they have the “gift of gab” and can talk their way out of any situation. Con-Artist will prey on women who are insecure and lack self esteem. They will appear to genuinely care but are selfish men only looking out for themselfs and will use women for their own personal gains.
Beware of the “wandering eyes”

Kimmie, my son came and told me he was bored once, and I went to naming a list of things he could do to entertain himself, none of which included me doing anything to entertain him! needless to say never heard that again.

I never get bored when my woman is around seeking my attention. I love having her un-divided attention and listening to all her wants and needs. I feel “wanted” when she is talking to me in person rather than on the phone or sending text messages.
Awww how sweet…

That’s a pretty broad stroke right there…as humans men/women will look, hell we’re in a relationship we aren’t blind or dead. It’s the way a man/woman looks that could draw ire from another person…regardless of who it is. On the flip, there are some jealous men out there who tend to put themselves in harms way when they think someone else is checkin out their woman..and it’s not anyone’s honor they’re protecting, it’s their fragile egos..

O/T: Ok peeps, I’ve entered the Halloween contest here. I am a Roaring 20’s Flapper complete with black long gloves, long cigarette holder and fake cigarettes, diamond bracelet and diamond ring to wear over the gloves, long strand of pearl necklace, fishnet stockings and red heels to offset the red feather in my headpiece.
I got dress early so my boss could see me before he left before contest starts. Now, I’m sitting here wrapped in a blanket so no one else can see me.

Only a couple people dressed up at my office. I initially didn’t do anything and it kind of bothered me cause it’s been a long time since I haven’t dressed up for H-ween. I pulled my hair up in pig tails and took red lipstick and drew circles on my cheek. I’ve been telling people I’m a baby doll!
Anyone else dress up today?

Leggs – Would be more Raggedy Ann if I had a red wig. I honestly didn’t put much thought into a costume this year since I didn’t have anywhere to wear one. Didn’t think anyone at work was going to do anything. There are only a few and they were disappointed that I didn’t dress up! I had to do something!

The chick that won 1st place here did a Nascar theme where she had little micromachine cars glued to her shirt. I can’t recall what it said though. The third place winner had a creative jelly bean costume. She had little balloons blown up and wrapped around her to look like jelly beans.

I watched “New Girl” last night and one girl had a costume that I loved! She had a tiara and a cape with stuffed dogs and cats glued to it and said she was “raining cats and dogs.” For two years, I was a black eyed pea. I had a t-shirt with a P drawn on it and drew a black eye. Wore a funky wig too. I like the play on words costumes…

Back in the 20’s men use to wear mirror’s on top of their shoes to sneak a peek under a women’s dress. lol. Is your man dressing up for “trick or treat”?

I heard people use their electronic gadgets (PC, phone, pad,tablet, etc.) and “Skype” pictures and video. There are no more secrets. People show and tell everything.
