Ok, here is a DIFFERENT kind of reaction story...My wife was looking at my photo album on my tablet (had some pictures of chairs and paintings she may want from an antique store) WHEN she see this picture: View attachment 193604
and says: "That is a really nice looking Hat, you need one like that!!". :eek: When I reply: "That IS my hat!!! That is a picture I took for the lounge";)......."remember, that is the Storied Whippet in Natural I finally got";). Then she: "Oh yes,......... That is a nice hat".:):):):)
So, my wife DOES like (at least one) of my hats!!!!!!!!:eek::rolleyes:;):D:D:D:D:D

Hey, if J.E.B. Stuart approves, so should your wife! (At least that looks like him peeping out over the crown of the hat.)

I walked into a boutique with my wife and the young, and very stylish, saleswoman told me she loved my hat. She went on to tell me that the high crown fedoras are very “hot” right now. She asked if I knew who made my hat and I told her: Rick Walker. She looked confused and smiled.

First time in my life I’ve been on-trend wearing the “hot” item. Thanks, Rick. :)

Enjoy it, young man. I'm old enough that I'm really not sure what "being hot" is any more :)

Ha!

And my eyesight is so poor I have to be careful of what prescription bottle I pick up, too! (Laxative in the morning, Viagra at night....or is it Viagra in the morning and...)

Don’t worry Randy, that’s just manopause. Just take two Viagra and go to bed.

Taking half a viagra at night is a great way to stop you rolling out of bed.

I'm getting more attention from younger women these days but only because I'm no longer a threat!!! Damn! Getting old is for the birds!

LOL.

As I have commented to my wife, these days I'm getting more attention from women than I have during my entire life. The fact that they are all widowed old ladies does not make it any less flattering.

This just happened ten minutes ago. I got a telephone call from a woman who works in the same big organization that I do. I hardly know her, although I have been in a few meetings with her. Says she: "This morning in the parking garage I found a very nice hat on the ground. Because I recall that you wear some very nice hats, I thought I'd call you to see if you lost a hat before I take it to Lost and Found." I took it very positively. Nice to know that my hats make an impression... or that I do when wearing one!

Now beeing 35, I got more and more attention from adult woman, equally if I'm wearing headwear or not. All the girls now watch out for a nice breadwinner and babymaker... :rolleyes:

Did you take the hat?

Ha! No. Probably not my size. But I did wonder "how do you lose a nice hat in a parking garage?" Whoever it was, he must have been having a very bad day.

Yikes! That's not something that an American man could say these days without incurring dire consequences. what you have to say is "All the women are now interested in finding men who are not intimidated by their intellect and competence." There. I may have saved you from getting murdered during your next visit to the USA. :)
