FW 7.6 How to Be Attractive When Angry

Image
 Hello, Beautiful Homemakers! Let me give you a preview of today's lesson.  I saw a scenario once in a tourist town - the man wanted pie, and the woman wanted ice cream.  Instead of being a FW, she became a shrew.  She started belittling the man's taste, his weight, she began mocking him, blah, blah, blah.  Whereas all she would have had to do to get her own way, would have been to .... do what we cover in today's lesson!    We are continuing in Pamphlet 7, Chapter 15, Arousing Worship, Adoration, and Love .  How were our great-great-grandmothers were so successful in capturing the hearts of men? "They knew how to place themselves on a pedestal and keep themselves there. They knew how to look sincere, and yet drop their eyes, how to be animated and yet seem timid, how to blush, how to lay a hand ever so lightly on a man's coat sleeve, how to shake hands with an eager beginning and before the clasp was scarcely begun shyly to draw the hand...

FW 7.5 Toppling Off Your Pedestal

I tell what my husband thought of me not drinking alcohol, and how he came to stop imbibing as well. Peo...

Hello, Beautiful Homemakers!   We are delving into the middle of Chapter XV "Arousing Worship, Adoration, and Love."  We will cover  The Test of Every Man's Love; The Qualities that Arouse Worship; Where Nature Steps In;  and  How You Become the Mystery.   I mention quite a few things in this video, and I mention these 2 videos:  Jacob Whelan "Why I gave up on getting married and starting a Family"   and the Mr. Reagan channel telling about "Passport Bros" - men finding wives in other countries because they cannot stand what American women have become.  The name of the video is Man Keeping, and I didn't even go into what that means.  Remember how for decades women have told men to be softer and more emotionally available? We talked about that recently.  Turns out, women actually hate soft, emotionally fragile men.  Who knew? 😂 (Oh, right,  we  did.)  Well man keeping has to do with women now complaining abo...
