If You Marry A Southern Girl

THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU MARRY A SOUTHERN GIRL


The first man married a

woman from OHIO. He told her that she was to do the dishes and

house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third

day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put

away.



The second man married a

woman from MICHIGAN. He gave his wife orders that she was to

do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't

see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third

day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was

a huge dinner on the table.



The third man married a

girl from THE SOUTH. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned,

dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the

table for every meal.





He said the first day he

didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by

the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see

a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he

could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.


He still pees with some difficulty.

:-D

 

Go ahead and laugh!! I'm from Pennsylvania and I DID marry a Southern girl from Mississippi and I'm sorry Gensuknives, but there is one flaw to your story....it's my RIGHT eye, not the left:-D As for the other part, well since this IS a family forum, I'll leave that part up to your imaginationsroflmao However, one little clue....:cry

 

lool good 1

 

I may be from Michigan, but I was given honorary Southern status years ago! :-D

 

Are southern girls really that bad ? See i'm from the UK so i don't know ! :confused

 

In all honesty, they aren't THAT bad, but they do have their moments:-D When we first got married and if I'd say something wrong, she'd just slap me on the shoulder and say 'stop,' in that Southern draw. She still does the same thing today with one small difference....instead of a little slap on the shoulder....it's now a sock full of rolled quarters:cry Yeah, Southern women have come a long wayroflmao They are some of the most kindest people you'd ever want to meet....just don't get them P.Oed:-o

 

GRITS Girls Raised In The South
:-D

 

Since most southern people are conservative,religious and believe in old fashioned "family values" I would have expected "the man of the house" to be more dominant and the girls to be more subservient than liberal gals from up north.

 

Actually Rikky you're pretty much right about those three things you mentioned. However, the South is changing and that was the 'Old South,' of which a lot of it still exists, but it has changed. True, most are still religious, conservative and they do believe, strongly, in family values. But the 'dominant' male and the 'subservient' female is pretty much a thing of the past. Southern women, from my perspective, have become more independent and no longer 'need' a man to run things. And, in the scheme of things today, that IS a good thing. A good example of the 'Old South' dominant\subservient way of doing things is that when the husband would die, the woman was, basically lost. No skills, never had a job and has no clue on how to make a living for herself, or her children. So the woman became independent and us men have lived in hell ever sinceroflmaoroflmao

 

Not really for a Southern girl. Applies to any and all.


Behind barricade and ready to duck.

 

Clever

 

Way to go Laura! I wonder sometimes if any of these guys are married! roflmao! Hey, laundry will be there tomorrow, the dishes can do themselves, and my husband's Mother didn't raise no fool! :-D:-D:-D:-D

 

Only the confident ones who don't have to define themselves by how successful their man is, and who don't live and die by by their relationship status...

 

I was happily single for over five years and perfectly happy with the way my life was, before I met The Guy. LOL

I never understood the whole thing about staying with someone just because it's so humiliating/terrifying to be alone... Grow a spine and quit being pathetic.

 

...I just have to perform both roles of the household. If I don't cook, I go hungry; if I don't clean, I live in dirt; if I don’t work, I’m broke. Oh well, times haven't changed a lot for me. As for being southern, since I'm 'down under', I guess I'm more southern than most of ya.:-D Now to tend to my Wallaby stew and Gum leaf grits.roflmao

 

My wife, before she became ill, did most of the housework and such because she wanted to. I'd do what I thought was my fair share, as we both work and it is only fair such chores be shared. She accuses me of being "clutter-blind" and would usually continue cleaning a room after I had declared it "clean". LOL She's not actually a southern gal, but she does spring from southern stock!

We do have various chores that we both always do - I don't mind sweeping the carpets (we have pets, so this is done at least 3 times a week). It's pretty much like mowing the lawn . . . but I am in a temperature controlled environment and there is a greatly reduced danger of amputation! Win-win situation. She on the other hand, does (or did) the laundry, which I hate doing.

Now she isn't able to do as much, and I have come to realize how little I used to actually contribute to the household chores . . . I feel bad about it. Now I will perforce make up for that past lack.

 

Fantastic H love that ! roflmaoroflmaoroflmao

 

I married a girl from Mississippi, and all is well
I do though pick on her and tell her (as well as my friends) that I married a foreigner!
It's all good!

 

My views are that foreigners are strangers who talk a different language from us :-D is your girl strange :-D oh ! and speaks a different language :-D !

 

Well, my wife doesn't consider me a 'foreigner,' but more of a 'damn Yankee:-D' According to her, a Yankee is one that comes to the South for a visit, but a Damn Yankee is one that comes South and stays!!:-D

 

Hey Stubby, I guess that would make us Yankees then! :-D We were there YEARS ago, and that is where I fell in LOVE with your Magnolias.... So beautiful... Hey, listen to your wife!roflmao:-D

 

Definitely not as strange as some!
She is an excellent cook though, and that makes up for any other "strangeness" she might have! :cool :drool
If I didn't pick on her about something, she would think something is wrong

 

There you go, Tux. You DO have to keep them on their toes.

 

Well have to add here, "mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" either

 

Hey Darlene, I didn't see any cowboys here :confused

Besides, nothing wrong with a good ole cowboy either :drool
roflmao

 

Well, let me tell ya about those ole boys

They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probly just ride away

 

Girls from Brooklyn will give you a tap on the shoulder and say, stop , too, when you have worked their last nerve. However, once they get to CA, they just give you the look! CA mellow! :-D

 

Another Willie fan! I knew we had something in common! :-D
I go to bed with him singing me to sleep every night, and get up to him singing every morning :drool

 

I grew up mostly on the West coast of the US... including Hawaii... that said.. I've been married to three Southern ladies I just keep coming back for more I think it's the accent! And the cooking! But... this time I think I'm going in a different direction... getting tired of ice packs and casts

 

Well as long as thats all you'd go to bed with him doing TeeCee :-o !

 

Oh, Rusty, get your head out of the gutter! :-D I go to bed listening to Willie SINGING "Stardust" , and get up to the same.. :drool Nothing wrong with that

 

Sounds you get a lot of pleasure from Willie's,music.

 

Hi Rikky, yes I do. I really find it relaxing. Especially "Stardust".. Easy to fall asleep too, and nice to be awakened by it in the morning..
