Female Training 101

Lewis, Congratulations on your recent stroll down the isle. Having "broke in" more than one female, to the ways of "our world" I feel very qualified to offer some timely advice. If she doesn't call you at the pool room, or bar, and bug you with silly things like, "the baby's sick, I'm sick, theres no food in the house", and stuff like that, than I would say, you have found a keeper. However if that becomes a habit, than she just might be "untrainable". In which case you have no option. You load her up with insurance, and take out a contract on her. Otherwise you may become terminally pussy-whipped, and who wants to live like that ? :eek:

PS I am the master in my castle. (when she's not home.)

This is by far the best thread on AZ in months. I love when someone asks me (a two time divorcee) for domestic advice. My philosophy is that some men are made to be married and some are not.

My last wife loved the fact that I was kind of a "rounder". Her previous husband was a lawyer. And I played pool and cards, and owned a pool room. She professed to like all that. UNTIL we got married!

Then she slowly but surely set out to change all that and make me into the man she thought I should be. CORPORATE JAY! Yes, get a job, work for a company, get benefits and earn a pension. Work my way up, maybe become a VP. And you know what, I began to go for it, putting in my resume at several places.

Then one day I woke up, and realized that pool was my life. I had already owned two successful poolrooms, directed over 100 major tourneys, produced another 15 or 20 on my own, written for several billiard publications, made videos etc etc. And I was nearly 50 years old. I didn't need a job. I needed only to keep doing what I was doing.

Her underlying motivation is that she was earning twice as much as me in her profession as a MARRIAGE AND FAMILY COUNSELOR to celebrities. Do you believe it? All true, I saw the checks. Even made the deposits many times. I will NEVER reveal the names of her clients. That is totally improper!

I am now single again and quite happy. I do what I want when I want. Now as for you Ironman, STFU and mow the lawn! :grin:

Obviously this is your fault. You should have had that all stated prior to getting married. need to be up front with these things.

Just giving you crap, most of the time, this is what happens.
 
Well, I don't know about verifying EVERYTHING in this post, but I sure tell ya that the dutiful wife sat there, while Neil pounded me in a one pocket match! :eek: :thumbup: Hmmm...I might have to print this thread, and use it for leverage, in a rematch! :D

Some of us may not have money, but we have the stuff that really counts! I couldn't ask for a better wife! (And, no, she isn't reading this.)

Scott can verify this- I even took her to a pool tournament that I played in last fall for her birthday! (Of course, I gave her most of the money I won!)

You know, I think it is the little things that make all the difference. The flowers occasionally, the nice dinner out instead of her cooking, the surprise card with a few sweet words. Women want romance, and they need one other thing on a regular basis. You figure that one out and you've got it licked! :grin:

Yeah, my ex-husband thought having a pool playing girlfriend was cool... until we got married and he didn't want a pool playing wifey.

I take a Mulligan on that marriage.

I do know this. My wife closes her eyes when we make love, just because she can't stand to see me enjoy myself.
FYI she has done this both times so far this year and so I do know what I am talking about and I have been married for 15 years. Watch your wife next time you get busy, if the eyes are closed you have your answer JMO
 
You will find a good % of women stay married to the very top players. Under that the % falls fast. The less you earn the faster they run. Then don't forget while the cats away swings both ways...as it should. Johnnyt
 
I feel lucky, my fiance doesnt mind if i go out and shut the bar down everynight, as long as i come home and go straight to sleep.(which i almost never do), I either come home after a night of winning and wanna play some more on my table, or i come home after losing and yell at her and the dogs. (mind u shes sleeping). Now if i could only never lose, id have the perfect marriage. :thumbup: Im still working on that part


Oh yeah, and hire someone to cut the yard its to damn hot & humid in south texas to be doing that anyways. And if you can afford it hire a maid to ease her load too, She cant complain about you not doing chores if shes not doing any:wink:

Not many know, but I got married back on June 16th to a beautiful and wonderful wonam here in San Antonio Tx.
I love her madly and worship the ground she walks on and would do "most" anything to keep her happy.
The problem has become that she has led a "much different life" than I and doesn't understand the mentality of pool players at all.
For example, she almost had me convinced this morning that yard work and other domestic chores were actually good for a person and would keep him healthy. So, I got up, made her coffee, fed the dogs, the cat, and THEN, mowed the yard!!!!!!
The problem is that I started to sweat and it near scared the s### out of me. Once I was done, I was entirely too tired to go to the pool room and play $30.00 one pocket.
Now don't misunderstand me, I love her dearly and want to spend the rest of my life with her, but, how did you guys convince her, or yours to do the yard work and leave the important things like going to the pool room daily, to us.
Any advice would be much appreciated???!!!???

Lewis,
Maybe your best post ever and for sure the funniest!

I'm no Aristotle or Sockratees, but my advice is all in one word...PRIORITIES.

My pool table provides much enjoyment.

My wife loves me, trusts me, is my almost constant companion and is snuggley when it's time to "go to sleep." My pool table can't touch none of that. I can't take the old Brunswick with me to Wal-Mart. Me and the 9 footer can't go out to have a nice lunch or dinner. And the big track would break our bed slats. Plus, it can't cook and isn't nearly as beautiful to look at. And my wife is my best friend I ever had. We have awesome time together. My Beloved Brunswick can only listen to me when I talk to it. My wife can ANSWER! :D
I imagine your wife has many of the same qualities as mine, so really, the answer is already done when you said you did at the altar!

In honor of your new found happiness, here's something to help you pass the time as you wash the dishes and sort the laundry. And since I wish you and yours a long and very happy union, it's the "eetended" version....

Congats buddy! :)
 
My wife said buy a pool table!

So I did and we have people over nearly every weekend in the winter. We both enjoy!
