    I know a woman who in her rock and roll days married her perfect man: a musician. She worked in a famous (around here) music store growing up went to all the big concerts and was attracted to him as a musician. They got pregnant early in their relationship and they ended up getting married at quite a young age and having a son. Fast forward many years and he's still a struggling musician barely able to keep down a job, more often than not she's supporting everyone and I think she has a *very* different view of the perfect man. :)

    "They got pregnant"? You really mean both of them? Hmmm, interesting. I Think I'll have to return to the soap box and re-read the stuff on immaculate conception. *Pondering* Maybe there is such a thing as mutual conception. That of course would be "hard" on the man.

      Back in my rock & roll days, my definition of the perfect girl was reasonably simple. Above and beyond the obvious desire to have her look good in high heels and a little black dress, I just wanted someone who enjoyed the creative & party lifestyle of a musician. These days, prompted in no small way by, er, lessons learned (no bunny jokes, please :)), I find that my requirements are a bit more in depth. Someone who is naturally happy and positive by nature (harder to find that it would seem), intelligent enough for deep conversation, and while she doesn't have to be a full on programmer, a little geekness would go a long way. I mention this just in case Santa is reading CP, of course. How 'bout you guys - at least the ones who are single - who's the perfect geek girl for you? You never know, you might get your wish. Never underestimate the effectiveness of bribing reindeer. :-D

                              You might be right that getting pregnant is kind of hard to achieve all alone, yet both of them ("they got pregnant") getting pregnat is a bit too much for me to grasp. Anyhow, feel free to enlighten me! Except of course this kind of diction runs along the lines of: * We decided that he'll stop ... (whatever he likes doing) * We won't invite them anymore ... * We agreed a vasectomy is the only way to ... and can be summarized in the formulation: "Honey! Guess what, we're pregnant", I'd agree with you, else I'd have to revisit biology for beginners. Cheers!

                                It's the PC way of announcing pregnancy nowadays, which indicates both pregnancy and that the man accepts his responsibility in the situation. Men should never say 'my wife is pregnant', because that implies it has nothing to do with him.

                                    Rest assured that I took it exactly the way you just pointed it out. I just couldn't resist taking a stab at this phraseology... OMG, I think I'd better stop posting and concentrate more on the bottle of Riesling in front of me. Checking out 'til tomorrow ... Have a nice day or evening or whatever is yoour bestt par t of the day

                                      It's the PC way of announcing pregnancy nowadays, which indicates both pregnancy and that the man accepts his responsibility in the situation. Men should never say 'my wife is pregnant', because that implies it has nothing to do with him.

                                          More often than not, I just end up with the girl that loves me back. Of course I have a vision of what kind of partner I would prefer, but when you know the significant other would do anything for you, thats all it takes for me. I am sold.

                                          You actually deserve a 10 or more points for admitting this, but hey it's all I can give. I'm absolutedefinitely in accordance with your statement. (Still need more wine though)
