Who is Wade Englund?

[_wenglund]

Perhaps you incorrectly misunderstood the gospel because there is no real definitive marriage gospel within the "gospel", other than to marry in the temple and the woman is a help-mate submissive to the man and have a date night.

Now that I correctly understand the gospel, I can see how you couldn't be any more mistaken.

I didn't learn how to have a good relationship from Mormon "gospel'. I learned it through trial and error while in the relationship. I did take a celestial marriage class which was a waste of a Wednesday night. In hindsight it didn't teach the basics to make a good relationship work or how to identify a compatible partner. Taking an eternal marriage vow doesn't mean it will be a happy.

Not everyone who is taugt learns. Or, as Sherlock Holmes says it, "some people see, but they don't observe." I am just glad you figured out the basics on your own.

Based on your penchant for making people guess what you are thinking I hope for her and your sake she's psychic.

My alleged penchant tends to only occur infrequently with people who have a penchant to tell me what I think and to, against my better wishes, guess mistakenly about what I think. So, she won't need to be psychic, but just someone willing to listen and let me speak for myself, as I respectfully am willing to do for her.

Thanks,, -Wade Englund-

To make matters worse, the gay men I am familiar with tend to embrace rather than eshew the things about women that I find repelling.

Which character traits are you referring to?

[_Buffalo]

Hardly egotistical.

It means he went shopping for a 8 cow wife, with only 5 cows to his name.

in my opinion, this is not an uncommon problem in Mormonism. I don't know if it's the ego-feeding teachings that young Mormon males are subject to throughout their lives (being chosen, having the priesthood, etc) but quite a few of them, in my experience, over-estimate how many cows they have to give. Some of them seem to think that being nothing more than an active RM automatically makes them 8 cows, deserving only the finest and prettiest.

If you're a 5 cow LDS man (or even a 3-cower) who wants an 8 cow LDS wife, go to med school. I see that all the time - complete doofuses with a high future earning potential coming to church with supermodel wives.

Wow, that sounded kind of like Derrick. Ugh.

Which character traits are you referring to?

Overly dramatic, vane, gossipy, and catty.

They also tend to embrace the worst aspects of men: promiscuous, unfaithful, abusive, and self-centered.

Hello Mr. Wade,

Have you ever had homosexual thoughts, desires, or inclinations?

V/R
Dr. Cam

Straight Man: Uh, no.

Closeted Homosexual:

It runs so contrary to my nature and inclinations that the only thoughts I have had about homosexuality is abject puzzlement and repulsion. For the life of me I can't see what one man would find the least bit attractive in another man. For that matter, I have a hard time understanding what women see in men, though I value the attraction. On the other hand, there is much about women that I find attractive (some very much so) to me as a man, though there are some things about women, like certain personality quirks, that I find repelling. To make matters worse, the gay men I am familiar with tend to embrace rather than eshew the things about women that I find repelling. So, not only are gay men sexually un-intersting or repelling to me, some of their personality and character traits are also repelling to me. And, no, two negatives in this case don't equal a positive. LOL

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Shut up and kiss me you catty bitch.

Only if you're abusive, promiscuous, and self-centered.

Seriously, though, isn't Wade "fishing" in the Mormon pool? And these are the type of women he meets so regularly that he feels justified using such pejorative terms to describe women?

Hey, Mormon women: let your light so shine!! :D

And how many gay men does Wade know that he feels justified applying the pejorative terms to them, as well?

Unfortunately, in the real world, he's not wrong often enough. Those are certainly traits exhibited often by the women (most of whom are married) in my ward. It's a good thing most of the men have exactly what they deserve.
