Take a chill pill.

We're often just as good at skippering (and co-owners to boot

).

Stu, your first mistake was telling her that it was a boat.

Should have told her it was a fancy portable inflatable swimming pool with a built in washing machine

.

Wondered why I had designer rips in my clothers after telling her indoors the latter.

All in all I am probably with Stu on this one. Although I think mine should stay in the padded room!

I understand, last year I took my wife to the South Of France and guess what, she said the water was still too cold, the waves too big and I went too fast. What will it take for a perfect days boating with her, should I send her overboard????

stu1288 · 08 March 2006, 21:37

i was on my moms drive the other week with the boat doing some odd jobs.
i sorted my trumpets out clamped them on the engine then just as i was going to start her up my mom come out being nosy

i started her up but mom was at the back of the boat so i told her to stand back as was going to put her in gear

just as said this she started swearing and shouting i could'nt hear her properly so i stopped the engine to see wat the problem was

and then she says dont be so stupid putting that thing in gear it will take off
i mean why dont they just go away and play with there make up and s***

Well I just have to be on the Sea .
Sea kayaking was my thing in a big way , so I got one for the missus nd she shat herself and said never again .

So I got nice little 20 foot yatch . Not very interested there iether , not even when It came to the kitchen fittings or should I say galley . So that got sold .

Last year I got a big Canadian canoe which was acepted by her especially when i fitted a Honda 2.2 to it , but its not even slightly seaworthy and the river estuary is too tidal muddy and boring .

Then I got my little Honda and she loves it , whooped a hollered like she was a kid at the fair and didn't complain when I played in the rough stuff iether . And that was in the cold this weekend . Driving it scares her , but she can handle it long enough for me to roll a fag so ribs or sibs are the boats for women and family fun me thinks .

Don't get me on the Topic of Kitchens please

25 quotes later and she's still no nearer making her mind up

Stu1288 - get your self a new girlfriend; one that likes boats

gaelforce · 09 March 2006, 01:19

hmmm........well nearly all mechanical hobby sites are dominated by men as far as I can see, and as this is true in virtually all cultural settings I suspect it's roots are in anthropology. Division of labour on a sexual basis would appear to be a characteristic of surviving human groups. I observe that most women are more interested in ribbing or whatever when there is a chance to meet friends or new people and interact socially. Social anthropologists say there are sound survival reasons for women to do this; as there are for men to compete for status, and technological advantage.
That said, in a civil and free society, it is unfair to assume a man or woman will act as the majority do, and deny them their chance to express themselves and fulfil their potential; for instance ellen macarthur. I suspect if you offer a safe, clean, social fun experience, women will be more likely to take part, MOST women. My wife won't go near the rib!

that say's it all (maybe there is some lucky guys) but not many

Nos4r2 · 09 March 2006, 23:07

Y'know, sometimes I realise just how lucky I am... The mrs hated my old hardboat and was well up for it when we got the SR4. She loves it.
