Marry the Pig for a Little Sausage

I was reading something today where a guy was asking the age old question, "Why marry the Cow when you can get the milk for free". Ha! And it reminded me of a friend of mine who shall remain nameless. She was with HIM for several months. She was his lover, his confidante, cook and maid. She oohed and ahhed over him for quite some time. When no engagement ring was forthcoming, she cried on my shoulder.

And I told her if she was doing all those things for HIM for free, why should he make an extra effort to give her more when she was expecting so little of him? In essence, why should she want to marry the Pig for a little sausage?

Guys are like fish. If you really want them, I mean, really want them then you have to throw them a line, give them a little taste of something sweet, and then pull back. I advised her to cut him off - go cold turkey! No more honey, no more laundry service, no more maid service. He was stunned at her reversal. She told him that without some type of equal commitment on his part, she was going to go her own separate way.

And you know what? The next time I saw her she had on a very expensive engagement ring. Guys are like fish. You have to throw them a line, give them a little taste of something sweet and then pull back. And reel 'em in. And she did.

I guess being the mother of two sons, I can kinda see things from their point of view. After all, if a gal is willing to put out so quickly, she must do that for all the guys. And really, guys are old fashioned. They want to go "where no man has gone before".

All this work for a little sausage. And in some cases, a very little sausage.
