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?

The good news is I won “Most Creative” in our costume contest for my deviled egg costume. The even better news? I have a severe sprain that will require a brace and staying off it and ice, blah blah blah, but it’s not broken!! Yippee!!!

LOL. That’s true. And then you got those that are two days away from AARP standing there with a bag saying trick or treat. Oh, and those kids that try to reach in the bowl and grab what they want. I look at them like
and I’m thinking, “I don’t know how y’all do it in the barn, but at my house, you open your bag, accept the candy and say thank you.” Can’t stand ill-mannered chirren.

Ms. ATL: I’m exaggerating a little, but not much. I had one I KNOW was well into her 20’s, if not 30-something. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, like maybe there was a sick kid at home that couldn’t come out or she was trying to make it more fun for the kid she was with, blah blah blah. But yeah, I was surprised.
@Jake: Candy corn? Blech!!! You gonna at least spoon it out of the bowl, or you just gonna grab a big dirty handful and throw it in the sack?
