I found a strange ad in a 20-year-old magazine. A man is pleading with a woman to give him an answer (about marrying him, the reader assumes). The woman tells him it's only been three years and he has to give her time. He implores her to stop running away, and when she says she can't help it, he storms off and slams the door behind him--the door to the closet, that is.

This ad seems so bizarre to me because nowadays, women talk about boyfriends who won't commit. Does anyone have any ideas for rewriting this little story to reflect current relationships?

A man is pleading with a woman to give him an answer.
The guy is gay and now he wants his boyfriend to come live with them.

The woman tells him it's only been three years and he has to give her time.
The sex on their wedding night was so disappointing that they haven't done it since.

He storms off and slams the door behind him--the door to the closet.
He decides to live his sham of a life being married to a woman and goes "back into the closet".

He implores her to stop running away, and she says she can't help it.
She wants a divorce.

Oh puh lease!  It has been my experience that men are the worst when it comes to begging and pleading for a commitment!  The news article is still fitting for this day and age!

I think it all depends on the ratio of men to women vice versa. If there is only 1 woman to 6 men then ofcourse the man will be the pleader<--"is that a word". If it is reversed the women will be the one begging. Being that the ratio of women to men here is 1 woman to 50,000 men, there is alot of pleading going on. I should have stayed married, lol. Nah!
See-ya,

I don't beg either my dear Princess and you don't have to, you have 50,000 men to pic from, now me on the other hand have tons of competition. I don't even bother trying, it's not that I'm not interested in a relationship it's the fact that I don't see alot of women by themselves.
When I was stationed on Okinawa, #the situation there was worse, not much but worse. There was some serious begging going on on that Island. I was married then so it didn't affect me. Women there were trying to stay there for thier whole career because they had it so good. #It's all about supply and demand!

Sticks,

The difference isn't quite 50,000 in the tri-county region.  The 1999 census data shows that between the ages of 18 and 50 there are 42 more women in Calvert County, 90 more men in Charles County, and 1356 more men in St. Mary's County.  So if you hustle on over to Calvert the odds are still in your favor.

OK, 42 more women then men, woo! lol. If you dug a little more they would all be married midgets or something. Anyway, I just saw this woman at a location I will not reviel due to the fact that you all would know who I was talking about. She was pretty, nice and when she turned to get something for me, I almost asked her to introduce me to her A$$. What a babe! But I bet she's married, I forgot to look at her left hand. I just had to leave before i said something stupid! Next time I go there I will look at her left hand and if she is not attached and the opertunity arises I shall ask her to "do lunch" or something. Update to follow.
