Yep, people have been decorating their bodies forever.

I understand the tats were all womens' names. That might answer why he was run off. Just sayin'......

[randyt]

it's interesting that most of Otzi's tattoos are in acupuncture pressure point locations.

Does look like he was keeping a tally of something. An arrow wound in his back as well tells me one relationship may not have gone as well has he hoped. I feel his pain, women can be crazy sometimes… overly emotionally attached and jealous...

Perhaps my mind is in the gutter but when I first saw that photo in article linked in comment #1 above I mistook it for a different part of the anatomy, then I read the article and felt like a silly school boy.

My highly speculative opinion is that the woman or women he was sharing that ice cave with thought he was hogging the blanket and shot him in the back. He had collected far to many tattoos and his time was up. LOL

If y'all had grown up with as many anthologists and lived with a diverse cultures as me you may not stereotype primitive cultures quite so much. For example the Zo’é people of Northern Brazil just south of Suriname are polygamous both ways. Often a young man (teenager) will marry an older woman who already has several other husbands, and some men have several wives. They have a system that works for them, I do not judge. My parents were only ever married to each other, I have only ever been married to and intimate with my wife and am comfortable with that, but what others do is their own business.

However, when my wife takes the covers on a cold night I just go get some other blankets or sleep cold. She can cause a lot of pain, sharp pointed sticks with flint rocks or not. LOL

Well here is the conundrum TX. First you label all women as overly emotional and jealous. Then you assume you know how we were raised or who we were raised with. Then you accuse us of stereotyping (see point number one), then you go out on a whole new topic of fidelity and details about your own marriage. What's your point? I'm not overly emotional. Never been the jealous type. But I will call you out when you make stupid, generalized assumptions.

You go girl.........

Move over Rick, and pass that popcorn!

Just in case anyone is wondering.....if your wife is taking a psychology class, and one assignment she has to answer questions about herself, and then get someone else to answer the same questions about her, and one of the questions refers to how emotional she gets.....the correct answer is to say she isn't emotional. It doesn't matter if you are lying or telling the truth. And, if the answers are rated from 1 to 5, never answer anything with 2 or 4.

Just trying to help out someone who isn't as stupid as me.

[Rick]

Buhahahahaha! I learned long ago there are only three possible correct answers...ever. 1. You are correct. 2. Yes, Dear 3. I'm sorry. It is EXTREMELY helpful to use all three at once no matter the situation. As in, "Yes, dear. You are correct. I'm sorry". It's often helpful to utter this phase immediately upon waking.

There are a number of subjects that are taboo. Don't even think about them lest your body language leads to the indefensible question, "what are you thinking about?" You might get by with "guns" as long as you don't elaborate. However, the forbidden subjects are weight, age, emotion, special dates (anniversary, birthday, etc. Let's face it, we have no idea when they are), appearance other than weight and her mother. Ever.

God has been ever so kind to me since I can't hear. Makes an excellent excuse. The rest of you are on your own.

[hunter63]

Yes Rick you got it mostly correct.....
1) First thing in the morning.....Say "I love you" and mean it.
2) Then , "I sorry.".....You haven't done anything wrong ...yet, but you will
3) "Yes, Dear you are right, and I am wrong"
4) and the last and most important.......The non-committal grunt....as in reading the paper, or plans for a visit to MIL....."ahruuummmph"..should sound like a noisy breath....

This is deployed in all occasions when you don't what to actually listen, and can't be held to any particularly answer, allowing wiggle room.
...............Or as Rick would say..."What?"
