The one about couples

Safiin's laughing thanks to chris who fwd this to me

>>One evening, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
>>
>>Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I
>>don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
>>
>>I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"
>>
>>So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to
>>hear...
>>
>>"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough
>>for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
>>
>>She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me
>>for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"
>>
>>Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to
>>sleep.
>>
>>The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time
>>with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a
>>big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while
>>she tried on
>>several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which
>>one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new
>>shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair
>>for each outfit."
>>
>>We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of
>>diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must
>>have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to
>>think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet
>>when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
>>
>>I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey."
>>She was almost nearing the peak of satisfaction from all of the
>>excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I
>>think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."
>>
>>I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I
>>don't feel like it."
>>
>>Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a
>>baffled,
>>
>>"WHAT?"
>>
>>I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a
>>while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man
>>enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."
>>
>>And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I
>>added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the
>>things I buy you?"
