Yup.. Actually, as soon as you start having comments about the ability to spot and identify people with a dull sex life from a mile a way you know the thread has run its course!

If someone can tell me the point at which this thread stopped being about "how much golf your wife lets you play" and started being about evolution and man's primal urges or whatever the heck it's devolved in to, I would appreciate it, so I can move all the posts after that point to the Grill Room.

Just a link to that post, please, where it really took a turn.

My version of this is how much golf is too much for work given I often step out a tad early when I can. Basically for me as long as I can fulfill my obligations what I do for fun is nobody's business. A bigger problem is spending too much money golfing, my retirement told me it's time to cut back. I am easily out there 4-5 times a week. Crazy thing is many days I don't finish so I pay to play some golf, often not enough to even post a score. So it's $31 dollars plus a couple brews to leave without finishing if I can't get around the late day golf zombies out there.

Oh good god. I've never cheated on even a girlfriend in high school. Up until about a year ago I was a devoted Christian and have only slept with 2 women in my life if you must know...my ex wife and my current wife. Same with her. This conversation reminds me of what happens when someone leaves a religion. People always assume you are "mad at God" because something must have happened to you to turn away. They never think, "Gee, maybe he just doesn't believe because he has a history degree, learns science in his spare time, has read more book for and against a god concept than I ever have, and he knows it's bull crap. No, that would be too scary a thought. He must have lost a close family member or something or God didn't answer his prayers so he got mad! I am a realist. Look up the definition. I see things for the way they are, not for the way I wish they would be. It's just like the golf delusion thread. The people like Mike and Erik see golf and golfers for who they really are because of life experience and vast amounts of research and study.

Your wife slept with your ex-wife????? I like it!

This thread reminds me of that old "golf course, or intercourse" joke.

I think after post #112 it really started to go off topic.

Sounds about right.  There are a few legit responses (including mine ;)) after that point, but yeah, that was the beginning of the nonsense.

I feel so insulted. . .

My wife and I are homebodies for the most part. She volunteers at the local humane society on Sundays....She tells me to go golf, and I'm good wit dat! I just need once a week for playing an actual round. But, twice a week I'll hit the range on the way home from work. One for the golf, the other for the guns. Life is good!

Oh I get it-This is the thread where @Duff McGee reveals that he thinks he is all knowing about something but really just keeps coming off like a fool because he read one book and has been married or slept with roughly 0.00000% of the female population. Cripes kid you have got a lot to learn. And what this has to do with playing golf is beyond me.-I live golf but enjoy my time away and most of that is spent with my wife, whom I cherish and consider a partner. Talk to me when you have been married 40 years.

Your appeal to authority (age) fallacy means nothing to me. What about my post offended you so badly? Why don't you try to attack my arguments with evidence instead of your pathetic insults?

Given the ratio of story time to evidence in your posts in this thread, I'm not sure I'd start with the how about some evidence bluster...

He said "you are a fool and I am older and wiser and you are wrong." I backed up my comments with explanations. There are tons of studies on this that are only a Google search away. But it doesn't matter. Many of the posters on here understand and the others rely on conventional wisdom. It's odd that I was attacked for my opinions which did not insult anyone. Maybe what I said hit too close to home for some of you and this is some kind of defense mechanism. I don't remember attacking anyone, yet I have been berrated for about 3 full pages for very reasonable things I have said as well as things I actually never said. I know this is a tough concept for some people, but just because about 4 people disagreed with something one person says doesn't mean you can take all four of those posters' posts and combine them into one giant scapegoat.

I'm just gonna go ahead and refrain from entering the fray here.

If you include me in that group I want you to know that I am not attacking you.  I am always more than happy to discuss topics and concepts, I try not to attack persons.  I have seen many of your other posts and usually am in agreement.  I thought you said some things that were, lets say, interesting and I responded to them.

If anything I have said was insulting to you, I apologize, think you are an alright dude....for a guy who owns a law firm.

There is a little too much TMI lately in this thread.

But gheez, I can't talk about successful husband and wife relations, because I only have great relationships with my ex-wives.

[Ernest Jones]

A lot of sad, little men trying to paint themselves as super heroes in this thread.
