[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were these women baking for your man?  Or just sending in cookies for the entire office at Christmas?  I am a happily married woman who does the latter.  Please don’t read into it…[/quote]

No, dear it was special made for my kids. She baked it with a friend. Not once, many times. Then even after she left came back to the office party (I didn’t use to go), but I was there. The cringe. Never heard from her since then and good riddance.

What surprised me with this younger woman was the amount of make up. It’s that stuff popularized by the Kardashians that we used to think of as stage make up. [b]Also, the lack of own ambition. [/quote][/b]

Oh, they are plenty ambitious and calculating… Lots of men can’t help but respond favorably to being fawned over and mothered with homemade cookies. Their responses typically don’t include marriage proposals.[/quote]
No one wants your "man" who probably looks like shit after years of a high stress job. I know a big law partner who is 38 and looks 50. He is really smart and funny but I can't imagine some 22yo paralegal chasing after him. [/quote]

There are a lot of women in this forum who think their husbands are irresistible or some woman making cookies or small talk is after their man.

It’s definitely deluded but kind of sweet, I guess?[/quote]
Yeah, I mean I get it, you definitely want to be your dh's hype woman, esp. if he's bringing home big law level bucks. "Oh honey, you are so handsome and smart and funny and cool and great in bed and I'm so lucky!!! Yes, your paralegal who just graduated from college absolutely wants to sleep with you!" The difference between PP and most people is that most people would just say that. Seems PP has started to believe it, sadly.

[b]When I was 23 I took cookies to the office. It's because the night before, my boyfriend wanted cookies so we baked them together but we made too many and his roommates didn't want them and he couldn't reasonably eat 24 cookies alone before they went stale. So we split them up and took them to our respective offices. Neither of us was trying to sleep with our boss lmfao.[/quote][/b]

I am glad you had a nice upbringing and wholesome cooking baking sessions with your boyfriend. And office jobs at 23! Sadly, this is not everyone’s story and we witness daily posts about trying to marry wealthy.  [/quote]
