Six and a half years and still going strong!

[Jack]

Hello John, it is nice to hear from you again.

You are to be congratulated and complimented for a wonderful 6-year marriage.

You have a beautiful wife and should feel very proud of her.

You might receive snide remarks from a few Russian women here who wish they looked as good as your wife.

If your skin is thick enough to stick around I think you would be an asset to many new guys.

Gator,
How did you get home from the club last night? Did you drive?

Probably about the same way as I/O got home from the club tonight.  Slowly   I do believe I shall write to Mr Bailey in Ireland.  The composition of his mixture in not balanced.  He seems to put a lighter product in the top of the bottle and a heavier product in the bottom.  It is always the product from the bottom that seems to do the damage.

What sort of anniversary is 6.5 years, anyway ?

[KenC]

What some here may not understand, is that JohnK was a regular contributer to PL back in the day.  For him to pop up here and let us know that "all is well" in his 6.5 year marriage is a very pleasant "blast from the past" and very appreciated by the those of us that remember the past trials and tribulations he faced.  To have his wife's looks and career choices criticized was not only unnecessary, but done in poor taste IMO.

A good one IMO.  The kind of BS that has gone on in this thread rather annoys me and does NOBODY any good whatsoever.

I had the same damn problem with Planter's peanuts when I was younger! I could kick back and drink a whole case of lager, but have one little packet of peanuts w/ the suds and I felt like sh!t the whole following day

Be that as may be, I may be wrong, but it seems to me that his main reason for "popping up" here was to solicit votes for his wife (nothing wrong in that, mind you), and the rest coincidental.

Good morning all. 

My head hurts.

Just now I read my words from last night (I certainly do not remember them).  I guess I was trying to say the following:

3.   Olga started rolling out photos of fat women, the purpose of which eludes me, and it did not blend well with the “firewater” coursing through my veins. 

Gator thats one of the many reasons I love Olechka so much is her uncanny sense of humor and still making a good point.  There is beauty inside and outside each of us.  We all have  our own idea of beauty and the many different ways of expressing, wether for business, personal or both.

JohnK Congratulations on  a successful 6 1/2  marriage to a beautiful woman   It appearers from your statements her inner beauty is fully equal to her outer beauty and has the business senses to utilize this gift as well as your loving support.   


LEGAL

[Gator]

Legal,

It is obvious that the you and your Olechka are very close.  It is splendid to find someone who is not only a match intellectually, yet can understand you, support you, and explain the inexplicable to you.

Sandro,

I agree with you.  Nothing wrong with that, although he could have been more upfront.  He is trying to help his wife break through with her career choice.  Many of us, when and if we marry, will be facing the question:  "What can I do to advance my wife's career?"

Sohkay,

How did I get home?  I live near my club so I had the staff take a golf cart and drive me home.  A DUI offence is horrible.  Besides, if I had walked, the cottonmouth water moccasins and alligators are mating and I could have been harmed.

Everyone,

Hi everyone,

Unlike last night I am fairly sober.  I am in a 3-day golf tournament and after two days my partner and I have a 2-stroke lead in our flight.  So my partner advised/begged that tonight I pace myself.  I even turned down a date with a recent 50-yo divorcee who has not had sex in three years.  When you get to be my age, you will know what I gave up. 

Issues such as this thread determine who we are.  Think about it.  Does your initial reaction reflect your soul?  Perhaps.  Yes, I had a few cabs but no beer or vodka.

Gator,  I'll have to go back and re-read my post but I think our souls are intact!  Good luck at the golf!

[I/O]

AaaaHa..!!!  A fellow golfer.. Somehow I missed that along the way.  All is now revealed.  I fully understand how Gator has gained such worldly insight on so many subjects. The level of intellectual banter on the 19th green is always something beyond compare.

All the best for the final round and always, always take Greg Normans attitude in with you.  (When he lost the unloosable masters, his remark was, nobody is more disapponted than me, but the game is still just that, a game and the sun will still rise in the East tomorrow)

I mean why in the hell would anyone here tell this guy his wife cannot make it as a model?

Because it might be disingenuous to agree that she could be very successful at it when its apparent that she could not.  If he didn't want to hear the truth and only polite sunshine up his butt he came to the wrong board.  People on here offer hard reality 1st, which is an asset to most.  There are a LOT of wannabe models out there with better chances and more years to go.  Starting a successful modeling career at age 26 is even less likely to pan out.

To have his wife's looks and career choices criticized was not only unnecessary, but done in poor taste IMO

Hey if John didn't want opinions, he did not need to put up a post like his.  If he doesn't handle criticism well, then I'm sorry if his feelings were hurt.  However I doubt he is insecure enough to take it the wrong way.

Like Kuna said there are different models for different purposes and perhaps she could find a niche and excel.  She does pose well, but lacks "the look".   Models are judged by how they look in their shoots, so commenting on how she looks in her pictures is appropriate IMO, especially since he was plugging her portfolio.   I would not bag on her personally nor on John for any reason.  Like I said, she is a very pretty lady and I'm sure a very nice person.  I would not criticize the fact that she is modelling; having dated a few myself that would seem petty.  I'm happy he has made it this far in a marriage to a FSU lady.

[KenC]

Because it might be disingenuous to agree that she could be very successful at it when its apparent that she could not.

No one asked for your opinion or for you to agree to anything.  You voluntarily offered your opinion on her modeling career possibilities.  And just who are you to offer this opinion?  Are you a modeling agent?  A professional photographer?  In the advertising business?  Just what the hell makes you qualified to espouse such crap?

If he didn't want to hear the truth and only polite sunshine up his butt he came to the wrong board.  People on here offer hard reality 1st, which is an asset to most.  There are a LOT of wannabe models out there with better chances and more years to go.  Starting a successful modeling career at age 26 is even less likely to pan out.

Again with the expertise!!  What were your qualifications again?  There is a huge difference between offering sobering advice here when asked and injecting hurtful opinions where they were not asked for.  Sorry you don't see the difference.

Hey if John didn't want opinions, he did not need to put up a post like his.  If he doesn't handle criticism well, then I'm sorry if his feelings were hurt.  However I doubt he is insecure enough to take it the wrong way.

  That is total BS!  Many of us have posted photos of our wives and didn't expect (or get) any unsolicited criticism as you handed out here.  Hey, Jazzy posted a photo of her honey, should we all jump in and put him down?  What's the difference?  Again, no one asked for your opinion on JohnK's wife.

Like Kuna said there are different models for different purposes and perhaps she could find a niche and excel.  She does pose well, but lacks "the look".   

More "expert" opinion?  Who asked you?

Models are judged by how they look in their shoots, so commenting on how she looks in her pictures is appropriate IMO, especially since he was plugging her portfolio.   I would not bag on her personally nor on John for any reason.

 But it is OK to dis her looks?  Some how you think because she is an aspiring model that it is OK to put her looks down.  Well, that woman that you are putting down is someone's wife.  Please post a photo of your gf so we can all tell you how ugly she is.

Me and my ex...

 

[Kuna]

DKMM,

Actually...  in my post I wasn't aiming at:

Like Kuna said "there are different models for different purposes and perhaps she could find a niche and excel."

I think JohnK's wife might actually develop a successful career but in modelling it often depends on luck, contacts and the type of work she wants to do.  It's cut-throat... most that try to make it won't... but it's not impossible.

Last year I dated two "models". One was svelte-like, tall, thin, young and as dumb as you could imagine.  She got lots of photo work (mainly catalogues etc), travelled to a few exotic locations but never got any television work. She wasn't happy!

The other girl was 29, had all the womanly curves, a beautiful face, a charismatic personality AND a fulltime job.  She did several local television shoots as well as catalogue work and loved every moment of it.

In the context of RW/AM relationships I think it's great John supports his wife in her dreams.  They can have a lot of fun with it and she might get some professional work. What harm can it do?

I wouldn't be keen on dating another "model" but for those that get a kick out of that I say "good onya!"  have some fun with it and enjoy it while you can...  There's too much serious stuff out there to not have some fun when you can!

Kuna

You are 100% correct in calling out DKMM. This guy had no focking business trying to insult John K's wife. I'm with you about seeing a picture or two of this assclown and his wife and then let us make some judgements of our own on his behalf. I mean how lame is it to tell the man his wife just doesnt have "the look"? 

I never took the time to look back ,but did has this snapperhead DKMM ever taken a trip? I cant recall ever reading a trip report from the young fellow. By the way, it doesnt matter if he has or not. To insult some members wife in that way just shows me how much of a douche the guy really is.

[Jazzyclassy]

. And just who are you to offer this opinion? ......

And who are You? to tell the things you tell , to humiliate people, It is a forum !  it is supposed to be opinions , and giving the opinions here is highly appreciated

I believe not only one person is  annoyed with somebody's  boorish behaviour and always teaching and shaming people for what they told, trying to isolate their point of view

About my boy , you simply can not compare him to that woman . End of the matter!


To Kuna

oh you acted so cowardly here in this topic

whom are you scared of ? Ken C' s authority?

speak your mind and do not try to meet his requirements

You already told what you ment and for some reason when DKMM quoted you , you suddenly turned it on Ken C's wave

................................... no comments

Why we should tell a lie , about this person and his wife???

again he needed to change  the topic, first of all about his Wife's competition in Maxim race, but not about Six years and still going strong , once again I already told that

Second , if he did not want to have opinions about her , he would not post any pics of her in the first place, as again was said here, so why bother and defend the person , who can actually insult the others himself, what he already did take a look in his previous posts

He told something like how can we tell anything if we do not know anything about this Model business , compared Doctors , Soldiers and other professions with modeling   can you imagine that?
then he told just that people are irritating him here,  with their opinions,

I am sorry why then  to post  here such kinda topic, to brag?

I really do not understand the atmosphere of something like  - We are big smart guys and we discuss russian women here so do not even try to mess with us, cos you do not know anything about life and bla bla bla,,,,,, then it goes , you are better in some fun topics and you are very good when your opinion goes together with ours..........

that is what I understood , it was pointed to me

so if I want to tell my opinion , I should just shut up...... that is how it works here......?..

[Elen]

What I understood from posting at this board that it's better not to post your opinion about girls whose 1/4 - half- almost full naked pics were posted here
 Yeah,  "trick " is exactly in pics  - they turn down any common sence in males' brains

Absolutely

[KenC]

OK Jazzy,
I am going to try to explain this to you for the last time.  I will try to use small words so you might understand.  You posted a photo of you and your man.  Does that give the right for members here to criticize him and you for choosing him?  Would it be OK for someone to come on here and say that your man is ugly or of bad character?  (Based on the photo only)  I think not.  I think that there should be a certain amount of respect given to our fellow members and their choices of mates.  I think that it is only decent not to put down the looks of someone's chosen mate.  Even if that person is not of our own taste.  By you posting your photo does not open the door for a free form debate of your man's looks or character.  It is part of being civil and decent.  I see no difference between you posting a photo of your man and JohnK posting the photos of his wife.  He didn't ask for anyone's opinion of her looks or her chances of success in modeling.  He simply was a proud husband and shared some photos with us.  For you or anyone else to attack his wife's looks or chances for success in modeling is wrong and uncalled for.

[pitbull]

KenC,

C'mon, you are not dumb really! Is it so difficult to understand the difference? Jazzy just posted the pic of her boy and her, as a form of introduction. Here any references to his looks would be irrelevant (they look great together, btw).
John posted a portfolio of his wife as an aspiring model, asking us-board members-to vote for her judging from how much we like (or not like) her pics. He allowed the members of the forum to judge her by doing that. You chose to vote-great. Others chose not to-and explained why. Noone said that his wife is ugly btw.

See the difference now?

Also, imagine this: I, pitbull (hint-just came to the US, all my life studied social sciences, physics was my weakest subject at school)-post on RWD saying: Guys, I chose a career-going to go to MIT for a grad degree in astro-physics this year, graduate with the highest marks, then go to work to NASA-make lots of money-and become a famous scientist. 
I bet the first reaction of many of the mambers would be- And then I would get something like: Pitbull, you are a very nice one, and smart-but we doubt you'll be a successful NASA scientist.
Fare enough and logical. I won't take offense.

Situation with John's wife is the same-the same sort of naivety.

 

[Elen]

<sigh> 6,5 years together and 7 pages of discussion and the only one thing deserved to be mentioned like a reason for proud is a slim body Show me even one woman who would be proud exactly with THAT about her husband

Pitbull,
I see your point.  I really do.  But if you had posted your NASA dreams here, I might roll my eyes in private, but would only encourage you in this forum with  "good luck".  What we may be talking about here is a cultural difference too.  Americans have been taught "if you have nothing good to say, it is better to say nothing."  I am usually "brutally honest" except when it comes to knocking a person's chosen mate or their children (for heaven's sake).  I personally think there are certain things that are off limits to being brutally honest.  Have you ever lied and told a mother that her baby was cute when in reality it was an ugly baby?  Or would you tell her the truth?
