Janis: I'm really showing my age!
Arlo: You look great!
Janis: I do not!
Janis: Everything is flabby or sagging or loose...
Arlo: Believe me, perky is WAY overrated!
Today I went with a girlfriend to a Korean spa. We had a delicious Korean lunch, sat in the sauna, lay in sand in rooms that were 150 degrees, into pools of water varying in temperatures from cold to hot and then a full body scrub all done butt nekkid! The only women with perfect bodies are in Playboy etc, and they’re probably airbrushed to perfection. You look wonderful Janis. Embrace your sags, wrinkles, and looseness. We rock!!
It is a good thing people have to wear clothes. Imagine going to the grocery store and everyone was naked. You could go blind. However, there was that one young brunette on the treadmill at the YMCA. That would have been poetry in motion…
Sure, you’re showing your age. That’s how you know how hot you are. It’s the hotness that gray cannot dim and gravity cannot overcome. .(Of course, he’s now stepped in it again, and she’s about to demand he explain whether she was never perky or whether he didn’t like her so well when she was. He will be forced to recover by telling her it’s not that she wasn’t perky and wonderful before but that she’s gotten so much better than he could have imagined back then.).((Guys, I’m an expert. If you’re not highly experienced at this stuff, rehearse your lines to yourself a few times before opening your mouth. It’s real easy to say the wrong thing and get yourself in even deeper.))
i figure it depends on whether you are talking ‘love’ or ‘lust’ as to the truth of arlo’s statement. ‘love’ goes way beyond body parts, proportions, sexual stimulation and includes forever commitment, and intimacy with caring about the other person involved. ‘lust’ simply demands ones sexual drive be stimulated and ones sexual satisfaction be fulfilled or one goes elsewhere with no regard concerning the other human being who is the target of the lust.
“This is one of the things that get me about women, they are always going to great lengths to look attractive and sexy, but when men notice that they are attractive & sex we’re pigs.”.Much depends on how you say it.“Thanks.” sometimes gets a look of confusion and some tucking in of secondary female features.“Very pretty.”Usually gets a thanks and a smile“Nice new hair style, even though I liked the old one too.”Is usually acceptable.“Green hair looks good on you”usually gets a look of confusion and yet a smile.Actually, even“Ungh, WOMAN!”seldom draws a complaint — unless it is a man and I don’t make that mistake as often as I used to.
“perky is way overrated” Actually it’s not! But comes a time when it is destined to be admired from afar. Just because a man puts all his money on one thoroughbred doesn’t mean he can’t watch the race! :o}

Gotta agree with Arlo on that.

Janis, I suggest you take the old wait and see approach. Give him the weight, and see.

Perky is not a necessity….but it’s also not over-rated.

Janis spends way too much time ‘berating’ her body. She’d get on my nerves.

So Janis is loose. No wonder Arlo perks up whenever she’s in her nightgown.

Deep attraction isn’t deterred by a little aging. Infatuation maybe.

Arlo has forgotten how nice perky really is!

Generally speaking, women dress to impress other women. It is a lifelong competition.

Perky can poke an eye out.

I’ve been married 40+ years. My better half has aged like fine wine. Great to begin with and ever getting better.

I’m sure Arlo probably enjoyed perky when it was available to him.

I want to know how Jimmy J knows so much about what’s going on in my marriage.

“You look good to me.”“What do you know? You’re just an old man.”“An old man who thinks you look good.”

Wasn’t it Flounder who said, “A perky set of bongos is a perky set of bongos.”

Arlo’s applicable part isn’t probably any too perky either, according to statistics…
