Fascinating. About the hearing loss, have you ever seen anybody put plugs in their ears (much like the ones drummers use) during all your years of experience? And I'll never buy a woman a drink. That's a major no no for any man encapsulating the ways of the alpha male. Majority of attractive women get into clubs for free as it is. For the men inside to give them drinks for free too will undoubtedly put their egos on pedestals that no man will be able to take home for the night. I got to ask though, wasn't it hard going to clubs with your wife? Especially, having to deal with all the other attractive women that you had to come across when you had to tell them you were married (either by being with your wife, wearing your wedding rings, or saying it)? I have seen people use ear plugs at night clubs. Never have myself and also seen people use them at concerts. Guess when I am 80 in another 25 years and needing a hearing aid I will say guess I should have worn some....... As far as being around all the attractive women with my wife. She don't care if I look just don't touch. Hell I have even talked to a few in my days and she did not mind. She always knew I was going home with her and only her. Would have been nice for a 3 way but that would never happen.
