Hehe even I don't do the 'OH my lord look at her' type thing ... I am a bish at times but that isn't my style. It is insecurity forreal. Oh I might if someone is wearing a black g under a white skirt or something. I mean, that is just bad taste :>

Yes I suppose some guys may go into it that way, but then you get 'ladder theory' kicking in. Ladder theory is not always a great way to begin relationships and I don't think guys who take their chances that way tend to do all that well - lol.

Heh my boys look out for me exactly the same way ... I have always had protection on heaps of different levels from them, which has been extended to my family (sister) when necessary. I am more than lucky ... One of my best guy mates moved to Canada recently and I cannot believe how much I miss him :/ I still go to text him and it's like - OH.

I guess I see what you mean with childbirth, I wonder how things will change as parental roles change - e.g. with more house husbands and laddie daddies (who are the male version of a yummy mummy, obviously ...)

I have great plans for the father of my children to at least share childcare - I have a lot of guy friends (especially the musiciany dj-y creativey types) who are highly receptive to the idea of staying home with baby ...
