Life jacket For SWMBO

[Resolution]

I agree there's some merit to the "apologise and move on even if you're not in the wrong" approach to life but actually in this case how thats "extremely offensive" or anything to do with circumnavigating women I'd love to know before apologising.

I knew i'd read it somewhere so googled it just now. There's this among other mentions: Is it true that drowned women always float face-up?

Drowned women can be somewhat self righting, men not so much. Its a bit late of course if they've drowned already but still it indicates women might require a less righting LJ then men. But really not much less in newtons it seems. I just remembered reading/hearing it so mentioned it, because its a discussion forum, which would be dull if no one throws in the odd curve ball.

Moodysabre was right. Your comments are pretty distasteful even to someone as insensitive as myself.

 

[Adios]

Honestly, if any of you pool souls had made those comments within earshot of my wife we'd be having more than words

So when people refer to their wives as SWMBO they mean all of us? In case they get violent?! Good luck with that

If you are looking for attractive versions the guys in cowes (ocean safety maybe? do ones with a whole range of covers and will also embroider name or boat name on cover and you add bits eg back towards,hood etc as needed. Very helpful but no connection just a happy daughter (who ordered at SBS ) and SWMBO who replaced her cheap XM with one last year. Personally I would go to a show or chandlery to try on after doing homework online.

You may mean SeaSafe in Newport Rd, Cowes? they make lifejackets and can do fancy patterns and logos etc.

Yes that’s the name although I have never been to see them on the Newport road but as you say the do covers ranging from Union Jack to leopard print I recall. The lady who answers phone is very helpful .

I opened this thread hoping to read something interesting, but instead was incredibly disappointed at the lecherous comments. Even more frustrating is the backhanded "justification after the fact" comments that followed.
I tried the @leave it and move on' approach, but TBH, it just made my blood boil. Honestly, if any of you pool souls had made those comments within earshot of my wife we'd be having more than words - you know what you meant, and so does everyone else.

Grow up, and get with the times!

I'm offended too. What's with this SWMBO nonsense? Am I the only dominant male left?

You're evidently here to troll, but I'll entertain you and spell it out.

The offence was taken at the comment regarding the size of women's breasts, in the context it was written. I I don't give a royal hoot about the following, feeble justifications. The initial comments were pathetic and childish.

I look at it in this context - If we were all sat together, I doubt those comments would have been made in company of respective other-halves (especially those who truly believe that theirs are SWBMO), and if anyone would then they really need to pull their head out of the gutter and get with the times.

So yeah - if anyone wants to make perverse references about the size of women's breasts' in earshot of my wife, my comments still stands. I respect my wife, and I'd insist anyone else to do the same - or at least show some common decency around her. The OP question could have ben answered without any need for any of those comments, and it isn't OK, it isn't "good ole fashioned fun" or any of that.

 

[Adios]

So just to recap for any fascinated psychologists reading, all I said was this:

Women are already self righting aren't they

Then lots went on in your head and out popped this:

And whats this? Is it a kind of cult thing?

Fascinating.

Honestly, you are either an idiot or an antagonist - neither are good.

It was obvious what you meant by your first comment - hence you felt the need to subsequently follow it up with a feeble justification. Your post also prompted another on on the same vein - which you responded to with a laughing emoji. And neither post had anything to do with the OP question. So I called you both out on it as it crossed a personal line for me.

There is little point trying to make out that there was some other, serious meaning behind it. I am not the only one who felt it was out of line.

You could have just moved on or apologised, but instead you act as if you are the one who is wronged. Drop the self-entitled cr*p and try to understand how what you wrote was, at the very least inappropriate and poorly articulated (which I don't believe for a minute is true) or at the worst rude and misogynistic. I don't believe you are that ignorant, and I know I'm not.

 

[Adios]

misogynistic

No, I love women. Especially the floaty bits.
