Anonymous 3 PM are you also Anonymous 2:51 because
that is who I was responding to with the post that referenced peas which referred to cleavage? Whirled peas is a word play on world peace.
Sorry for the confusion look down to the previous posts. I apologized to you twice and explained WHY I became confused.
Yes, of course younger people are generally more good looking. Women in the 40s and 50s may be even more insecure about their husbands -- especially if their husbands have a history of cheating. It is precisely BECAUSE they often cannot compete in looks with younger women.

girl friend at strip club
LW, I think you're over-reacting. Here's my story.
I'm a woman. One of my dear hometown friends is a guy who loves himself some strip clubs. When we used to hang out in our early 20's, we'd sometimes go to a local strip club. He liked the strippers and I (the poor college student) liked the free drinks (my friends uncle managed the club so we generally didn't pay for a thing). For the most part the guys didn't seem to pay anymore attention to me than they did to each other. After all, there were 1/2 naked girls on stage, why check out the girl wearing jeans and a t-shirt. A few times some guy would ask me to put a tip in a dancers panties (and would even offer me the cash and another drink to do so), but I'm not a stripper myself and I really didn't want some strange guy getting off on me like that. (Instead I would try to discreetly leave a small tip on stage for the girls at the end of their sets - honestly, I feel bad for a lot of them and I would have felt like an ass for not tipping the dancers, while I was tipping the bar staff). I never once thought of myself as being better than other women. I didn't even think much of the guy's girlfriend, except to ask once if she minded his hanging out in strip joints.
So my point is that this woman may not be at all the threat that you are making her out to be. If you trust your husband to contain himself around the strippers (and believe me, some dancers will go pretty far to get a good tip!), then I highly doubt that you have anything to worry about.

Hmm. I suppose . . .
that it could be part of my generation's values not to piss off the hostess/host. It is also part of my generation's values to take a little gift and write an thank you note or at least call the next day with thanks to show appreciation for the efforts of the host and/or hostess.
Different generations/classes/cultures no doubt have different values. My own attitude is that it is discourteous to make others acutely uncomfortable unnecessarily in social situations.

Oh, _hell_ no...

Sorry...
That's "d0k0night." My apologies...
-
Yep. d0k0night is in big trouble
for flinging those high-level insults! :D

Shoot, if they are dumb enough to stay married to these jerks...
...they need to suck it up and stop bugging innocent bystanders. It's called personal responsibility and behaving like an adult, something even married women are not exempt from.

This is exactly what I was talking about in a previous post
"Please. And some sad woman tagging along with her best male "friend" to a strip club does not make her some kind of uber cool post-feminist. It may just as easily mean that she is manipulative, creepy, and insecure herself, and likes to do "naughty" things to get attention from the boys."
WTF!? This woman was INVITED by her BEST FRIEND, not simply tagging along. The part about her being "manipualitive, creepy, and insecure, wanting to do naughty things to get attention from the boys" is especially insulting. Way to marginalize single women. Besides, why would you assume she wants to get attention from the guys? Chances are she may not be as "straight" as the LW describes (or should I say, "assume") her to be. She could be going out of curiosity (expressing this curiosity could have been another reason for her receiving this invitation), hence trying to get attention from the beautiful, partially clothed women performing. Actually, I'd enjoy being in her position myself. ;D

Just to clear up
I have no idea which time I posted and I don't feel like looking it up.
My first post is "Haaley I think you are funny", then my second post I signed it anon at 3 because I hadn't seen your correction posts of anon at 2:51.
So I'm anon at 3 who really posted at 2:51! Kay!
Now I get the whirled peas thing, thanks and I have found the food down the clevage a problem at times. My husband sometimes likes to play a game, what can I throw down your shirt to get stuck in your boobs! Boys are silly.
But yes I agree, we are probably different people, other women's insecurities, I could give a shit about. I have my own to deal with and I've always been on the team blame the cheater, not the person complicit in the cheating. Maybe they knew, maybe they didn't, maybe they were lied too like me and my wife are having a horrible marriage and I'm only staying for the kids and I sleep on the couch! Anyway, my belief is he made the promise, he's the one who has to keep it. If he can't, I'm dropping his ass. I'd rather be broke, living with roommates than tell a man, okay you cheated, now I'll forgive you because well men cheat or I don't want to be lonely. Fuck him. Why, because even though he cheated, I still know it's easier for me to get ass than him. If I'm too old at that point to get laid again as easily as I could now, well then hello porn and vibrators.
