Keep Your 'Shops' Open At All TimesKeep Your 'Shops' Open At All Times

Women, I keep telling you how important sex is to our men. You just cannot imagine. I never could have imagined myself how important it is. You know, we all know that everyone should enjoy sex. I believe I have every woman in with me on this. But, for most women, it is a case of enjoy it when you have it, and when you don't, no problem. Believe me, for the men, it is not like that. Sex is as important as air is to the brain to the men. You need to read some of the e-mails I get from the men. They want me to tell the women to stop using sex as a weapon. You all know we have discussed this before. We have dealt with this issue so deeply, I would imagine that every woman would know not to use sex as a weapon.
The truth? It really would have worked as a weapon (a very powerful weapon) IF all women all over the world could cooperate on this matter. If we all had a world congress, with every woman in attendance, and we all agreed to close shop, and the men had no one else to turn to, we would get them to do anything that we want. I know that too many men are to much of men to turn to another man for solace in this respect. But, of course, we all know that we cannot get this kind of cooperation. So, if one shop closes unnecessarily, there just would be others who are still in business.
A noted counselor and psychologist put it so beautifully. I have in today's article what she had to say. I have said it before, but the way she put it is classic. She said that many sisters have boasted in her presence of how often they have had to 'lock shop' early, or how they lock shop for weeks, sometimes, months, in order to teach hubby or boyfriend a lesson or just to spite him. These sisters, she says, are of the impression that they can do as they please, because they have the shop keys. As a result, they lock shop for every little thing, without giving consideration to the shopper.
There are exceptions to every rule, and opinions will, sometimes, differ. However, where shop-locking is concerned, my philosophy is that shops should remain open at all times. I agree that teeth and tongue will meet, there will always be issues to resolve, there will always be quarrels, but shop-locking should never be used as a weapon or tool in conflict resolution. Couples should find other suitable ways to solve problems.
She goes on to say that it is a fact that not all 'shops' have a common closing time. As a matter of fact, when one shop door closes, another is usually right around the corner with a big neon sign that blinks 'OPEN FOR BUSINESS'. Be wary of shops that are open late! The goods they stock are usually illegal, contaminated or expired. I think the men should take very good note of this.
Ladies, if your or hubby should get sick or go to an early grave, let it not be due to consumption of tainted goods from another woman's shop.
Shop-locking adds fuel to fire in most cases. Women should never be fooled into believing that by putting up a 'CLOSED' sign on the shop door, they are on their way to problem solving. Women, a hungry man will not allow himself to starve to death. Some will stop at nothing in their quest to satisfy their seemingly insatiable hunger. They will accept anything, whether hot and spicy or cold and icy or rotten. Some men will eat food not for taste, but for mere survival. They eat to live, to satisfy a need. That, my friends, is the nature of man. Keep your shops open at all times.
Even the well-bred man who eats out and scrupulously cleans his hands and mouth will bring home even a morsel from his street meal. Visualize what could happen when shop reopens for business as usual and some of his contaminated crumbs fall onto your plate. Imagine that you would have contributed to this scenario by locking shop. A word to the wise is sufficient!
In case there just is any woman who, at this point, is wondering what we are talking about.... "What is this about opening and closing shop. This does not have to do with me" Then, it means that you totally lost us. All we have been discussing is that you do not deny your partner sex. Stop coming up with all sorts of excuse every time he wants to make love! Now that you know what we are talking about, go back and read again with understanding this time.
If the men are reading, hear me well! Once you have your own woman, you can only do your shopping in one place. I bet some of you are saying " Well, window shopping is allowed". Window shopping will get you in trouble. As a member of the shop keepers union, you can see that I have advised all shop owners to work on their shops and keep them open at all times. Best of luck.
