Question for Men

[Frau_Phillips]

Okay, I gotta ask

If you had to choose

Your mum or your girl?

Just curious :p

[Camaero]

Are we talking about life and death or just which one to keep in good relations?

[Frau_Phillips]

Are we talking about life and death or just which one to keep in good relations?

Just good relations. Your girl asks for one thing, your mother asks the opposite, neither side is "right," it's just your choice.

[elite_hunter_sh3]

at my age (17) id rather choose my mom... she knows the most out of life... good lessons i can learn...

if i was alot older and had a steady job, house.... maybe my girl/wife... depends..

Well yeah, at 17 you better choose your mum.
I mean, once you're past 18 and out on your own

[CCIP]

Girl? What girl? :doh:

Sorry, I can't really answer that one right now. It'd really depend on the state of relations with the hypothetical 'girl'.

(christ, I hate being single :nope: )

[Tchocky]

I'm single as of recently, so it would have to be my mother :)

Oh and given that I'm as emotionally stable as Marla Singer on speed, I'll take CCIP's answer here

[Camaero]

Well it would depend on who was being more reasonable.

Woman... Can't live with em... the end. - Al Bundy:lol:

[Rose]

I'm only 16, and usually 40 - 50 year-olds know better than 16 year olds :yep:.

[Tchocky]

What sort of 16-year old is this!? :p

[ReallyDedPoet]

Wife. Having witnessed child birth 3 times, she owns my a_ _!!:yep:

RDP

[Rose]

Haha I am an anomaly.


I would never let my mother know that, of course...

[bradclark1]

That really doesn't have a set answer. It all depends on what the point of contention is.
It would be healthy for your relationship with the girlfriend to go with her but like I said it all depends. A smart man will wiggle out from under having to choose.:yep:

[TteFAboB]

Okay, I gotta ask

Your mum or your girl?

Mum. She always screwed herself when she refused to listen to her own mother, from advice about friends to boyfriends. Mine is just as sharp, after learning the lessons :smug: :know: (don't let her read this!), but I never had to be warned of anything because she just went ahead and warned me about everything instead of waiting for things to happen :D . There's a billion girls or more out there. Hundreds of millions or still by the billion when restricting by age. You have only one mother though and if you were to bet blindly, the girl can always be replaced by sheep. The girl of your life can be replaced by the sheep of your life (:-? :nope: :roll:). Really now, I'm with:
A smart man will wiggle out from under having to choose
If she's the girl of your life there should be a way out of this. I would evade the girl and gain time with my mother untill I found the answer. If time is not available then it depends too much on the specific situation to give you an answer.

Is Kaptain Phillips's mother hesitating to let him visit you more often? C'mon, you're better than that. What happened to all those acting classes? She's never going to find out about our scheme. By the way, I found a client for that 19 year old's Kidneys and the auction on the 18 year old's Heart will end in a couple of days, so you can slaughter him already. Put the heart in the freezer and I'll stop by to collect it, with your pay, on friday.

Shhh! What are you doing! He frequents this site, remember? >_><_<

No, my Kapitan's mum is absolutely great so far, I really can't wait to meet her ^_^

[Yahoshua]

You can't apply a blank slate of "picking sides."

If we were to do that we'd never be able to think for ourselves because everything would look like a nail and the only tool we know how to use is a hammer.

So the answer depends on the situation at hand and past experience (if applicable). If I have no past experience to base it on, debate it and make your decision:

A. Girl
B. Mum
B. Unanswerable
D. Propose your own idea.

[ASWnut101]

My mother, that is, unless my Girl is around. Then I have to choose her, otherwise, it's "sleepin` on the street time." :sunny:

Be Carefull about the question you ask. The answer may not be what you hoped for.:hmm:

[Frau_Phillips]

Not the answer I wanted, but the one I knew I'd get XD

[FIREWALL]

Never put the one you love in a position to get caught in the crossfire.:p


Been there and ran for cover. :D

[bookworm_020]

The Girl (my wife)

I made a vow to her, and my mum would understand and expect that I would put my wife first:up:

[robbo180265]

If I had to choose between the two and they were both in the wrong, then they might both find themselves sidelined for a while.At least until I can find a way around the problem:D

[P_Funk]

Know what I'd do if it were a deadlocked situation with no way to solve it without picking one?

I'd rent a hotel room and tell my mom and my girl to both meet me there for a "meeting". They'd both arrive, curtly greet one another, go in and find that the door is un-openable from the inside. Then their attention would be drawn to a radio receiver/transmitter located on the desk. I would then announce,

"You're both nuts and I'm not gonna let one of you edge the other out. Mom you still bake me cookies and help me do my laundry when a screw it up and make everything pink. Girl in question... well you can do that thing, but its sexual and I can't talk about it with my mom there.

You're both going to work it out. That or fight to the death. Have a nice weekend."

After that the music from Star Trek where Spock and Kirk duel would play non stop for 3 days and I'd stream the web cam action to SubSim and watch it all with all you guys.

Thats my solution. I'm not going to be anyone's bitch. Even my mom's.:up:

[Dowly]

Knowing my girlfriend, if I'd choose mom, she would keelhaul me over and over again. So, let's put it this way; I would agree with my girlfriend, but in secrecy I would tell my mom that she's right. :rotfl:

[The Avon Lady]

This should have been a question for both men and women.

Spouse versus parent.

My answer: spouse. Of course, there could be exceptions. I do not subscribe to the doctrine of "my hubby - right or wrong". :roll: However, even if he is wrong that doesn't guarantee I'm going to take sides anyway.

[Jimbuna]

Your mom is always your first and best friend :up:

[kiwi_2005]

Me mom was always right:smug:

:lol:

[Skybird]

We grow up, we leave home one day, and if we are lucky, we find a heart-mate, and keep her/him. By that, generations comes after generations. That is called the cycle of life. Sometimes our former love fades, or we separate, or he/she is taken away from us and there is nothing we can do about it. that is also part of the cycle of life. For nature, huge numbers do the trick - for us, it is the possebility of understanding that we must not possess in order to understand love. And by loosing it we sometimes learn even more than what we could have learned by keeping it.

Man would not be there anymore if we endlessly stay with our Mums! Neither me nor my parents understand the cult about living as long as possible, because all to often it is at the cost of the young ones, and future generations. At one time, we should have the grace and backbone to say that from now on we shall no longer stand in the way of those following us, for we had our life, but the younger ones still have it ahead of them, and may need ressources that we have no right anymore to demand all for ourselves. We step aside a bit and let the younger ones take the lead, for it is their families that counts anymore, not us. they will help us, but we shall no longer be the focus and cause of decisions.

Don't get wrong what I said. It only sounds harsh when you try to misunderstand me.

And leaving the stage at some day we all must, some of us earlier, some of us later. Only question is how we do it: yelling, crying and hysterically strampling, or differently.
We in the West live in a culture that is very ignorrant concenring the fact that we are mortal, that we die one day. And this ignorrance is one of the major, if not the main cause why our societies have become so neurotic and materialistic.

Many cultures had something that is called "book of the dead", there is the famous Tibetan, the Egyptian, even the europeans had something like that, but it got lost during the late medieval. Such books appear to be depressing, but they are not, they are very optimistic indeed. Because learning how to die in the right way we must, else our lifes will not be fulfilled, and will be made of fear of death only. How can you live freely if you are afraid of death? If you don't understand what death is about, how could you ever truly live? No way. The books of the dead - are books on life, in fact. the art of living is - learning to die.

[Polak]

Neither one, I live by the Al Bundy philosophy.

[joea]

Future wife of course, til then Mom always took priority over girlfriends (yea there were many :nope: :roll:) . I do insist that any potential partner respect and take into account my parent's advice and wisdom, as I will hers.


Boy am I in for it. :oops:

[Fish]

I had to make that choice ones unfortunately, not to difficult then, we had three kids.
On a later date things where cleared, and we become a family again.

At your age I should say listen to your mum.
But have to tell my daughter at that age didn't, she learned from here mistakes and is a fantastic mum now herself.

[Hitman]

Mmmmmmm can't I choose my mom-in-law? :hmm: She cooks damn well :rock:

[geetrue]

My mom died before you were born and my ex-wife took off with a used car salesman, but I did have a girl look at me one time. I heard her thinking as she walked away he's too old for me.

But I have a seven year old grand daughter who loves ice cream ... I listen to her all the time :lol:

Here's the wisdom of the Word of God in the Book of Ephesians:


“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.


Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
