On average, how long does it take your wife or girlfriend
Mar 14, 2016, 12:40 PM
|

to get ready to go somewhere? Could be anything from running to the store, to going out to eat.
I've recently concluded my personal study, and have found that on average, it takes us (by us, I mean her) at the very least 25 minutes, and that is just to run out and grab some fast food or something. Going to the lake or going out to eat I can count on her taking an hour. Most of the time, I'm waiting 35+ minutes. 35 minutes is if I'm really pushing her to move, otherwise I can go ahead and factor in 10-15 more minutes. Which is usually the case, because she gets pissed off when I start trying to get her moving, but I get pissed off having to wait.
Just wanted to get a feel for how common this is, I'm thinking about abandoning her on the weekend mornings so I can get the boat in before lunch.

Although, she will have to go back in the house for something after I've locked the door and we're in the garage.
But I'm just playing semantics.

And that straightener is the ####### devil. Not only is the cord constantly in my way, that POS stays hot for a very long time. Had a close call with my penor when I accidentally caught that god forsaken cord and knocked it off of the vanity while standing there naked.

ready. The next time I saw her she made me watch her put make up on. Since I wanted to have sex that night, I obliged. She wasn't too happy when I said I could't tell a difference and less happy when I didn't pay attention to her new bra. We stopped banging for a year or so after that night.

My wife gets ready quickly. She can take a shower, get dressed, dry her hair, and put on makeup in under 15 minutes. For a quick errand or fast food it's slipping on shoes, so less than a minute.

We can have just gotten home from work, no changing necessary, yet it will still take ~ 20-30 minutes before we can leave.
Back in the day, I could have woken up, showered, been dressed and in the car within 15 minutes.

I'd say her average is in the 15-20 minute range. Quick runs for food or something where we may not leave the car she can be ready in 2-5 minutes. Dress up events 30-35. Normal days maybe 15.

using any available tactics and resources.
Because there's only, like, 30 of them in the whole world.
I had one and stupidly pushed her away, and it is the biggest regret in my life.

imagination. I don't have to dress up in a tux and go to fancy parties that aren't any fun so she can keep up with the Jones's, nor do I have to have photoshoots by abandoned barns, or any crap like that.
It's just that she takes forever to get ready to do anything. And going to the grocery store with her can be agonizing.

I used to intentionally LIE to her and tell her the 8pm movie started at 7 so we still had a slight chance to make it. I'm a OCD-like punctual person and freak out if I am late to anything, even something as unimportant as a movie. Tried - can't help it, or cure it.
So me and the terminally-late woman cannot possibly survive together.

Low maintenance, always ready to go somewhere before I am, has no problem at all shuttling around drunken RH Tig, Joonyer, and aero to concerts because she rarely drinks. Doesn't care about football, so she's more than happy for me run off to Clemson for the weekend (she knew full well what she was marrying into), but loves baseball and is always looking see a game anywhere we travel. She did shuttle drunken Tig, Joonyer, and aero to the hockey game in Charlotte weekend before last, and she will go see midget wrestling or roller derby anytime I want to go. She hates shopping, has no desire to spend money, and is happy staying home on Friday nights to watch the Amazing Race while I go play LOUD rock and roll. Comes from an awesome family that I enjoy spending time with.
Brother, I'll shout it from the mountaintops...I got the ONLY one there is like THAT, I'm pretty sure.

it's not like she's dumb and I'm putting anything past her. She's a brilliant woman that graduated with a 3.9 double major undergrad, a 4.0 in her masters, teaches high school and taught college, and is a published author.
One. Of. A. Kind.

Took Joonyer to see the Oteil Burbridge Band in Charlotte when Joonyer first started playing bass. It was a mid-week show and we stood 5 feet from him at the Neighborhood Theater in NoDa.
Wow...just, wow.
