Dear Women,
Please don’t take offense to what I’m about to say. As a women myself, I understand the desire to not have any interests, goals, or hobbies. Once you have a man in your life there’s always the temptation to think, “I’m finished.” “Whaaaat am I supposed to do now?” “Hmm.” “Is it time to eat a meal?” “Well oook, I guess I’ll…?” But there comes a time in every woman’s life when she has to realize that her man will eventually divorce her if she doesn’t get some interests outside of her interest in him. That’s just life. The variable is whether you find this out before, during, or after your marriage. I know this sounds scary, and trust me, it is! Not all of us are a career gal deep down. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have dinner with other women sometimes, and it CERTAINLY doesn’t mean we can’t order a wine spritzer with our salad, if that’s what we want. It’s not as hard as it seems! Please, let’s watch this explanatory video together, and remember — men are just desserts.
Love,
Kelly
You see? Don’t be discouraged by your father who doesn’t think you should be left alone with a computer, lest ALL the data be lost. And DO be encouraged by your boyfriend who refuses to be your dessert until you fill up that empty brain with some hobbies. Having your own life is rewarding, and please remember — If you don’t gather together some semblance of a life for yourself now, you aren’t going to have anything to occupy your time with once he moves on.

PS: Where I’m from, they call her next video A Hoagie Is More Than Just A Sandwich.

It’s true! I couldn’t keep a man until I branched out into competitive beekeeping. Now I have to keep ‘em away with a stick! Literally. I call the stick ‘Ole Mancrusher. I’m actually a fugitive in seven states!
You may be a fugitive now, but one day you’ll receive your just deserts.
But if women have outside hobbies, how are we supposed to be able to control what they can and can’t do? Use your noodle, Kelly.
What if their hobby can be being controlled by us?
But that’s just topping from the bottom!
Get real, R2. If we could really control what women can and can’t do, outlet malls wouldn’t even exist!
False. I require a steady supply of medium-high quality sweaters at a fraction of full retail price.
Haha, they don’t realize that dessert is the best part of the meal.
Hogwash! Dessert is the last part of the meal. Therefore, if the earlier parts are doing their job, dessert should not even be necessary. You should be so satisfied from the main course(s) that you don’t even want to continue! Plus, most places go pure sweet with dessert, which is a tragic mistake. Desserts should be salty/sweet. As proof, I offer the rule that adding bacon to any dessert will make it better. Go ahead, try it, see if I’m wrong.
I think we have taken this metaphor about men and desserts too far.
Not at all! If you give a man bacon, there is a 100% chance he will love you more. This is scientifically verifiable.
I love facetaco more just for mentioning bacon.
Men are Just Dessérts? Thisismynightmare! #monsterconvo
I (Ka)JUST (X & Chain)SAW what you did there.
I Winwood participate in this convo, but I can’t think of anything…
If men are Just Desserts, then call me da cake eatur!
Iz u relly a tostada?
Pshhh, I Call DS
I Mean BS
Rookie mistake. You’re usually better than that. Someone get this man some coffeenow!
tried to insert a jpeg of Lurch, but I’m too passive to figure out how to do it.
who is this Tom Sproat guy everyone’s talking about?
This thread is some Topknot stuff. I’m totally serious. In fact, if I can be Frank for a moment, I think if we could all just accept that every word in this thread Werttrew, I could live my life with less people Ian in my face and Lloyd about me being Wrong all the time. I might even be able to Feelgood without the Dr being involved. I mean, just once I would like to make it through the afternoon without being forced to take 10 whiskey sHotspur lunch hour. I wouldn’t spend my life in an office feeling like R2D2, forced to be esquire to C3PO as if he were some kindof knight in shining armor. Sorry, I don’t want to sound like That One Explainer Guy that just doesn’t know when to stop trying, but sometimes I think I would be happier if some kindof Raptor Jesus Chris Trashed this place. You might think I’m talking out of my Badideajeans right now, but I’m just trying to bring up some Freshie ideas that don’t involve DJs, possums, or waffles for a change.
Also. About this thread. Itsahotdog. So, stick that in your Facetaco.
I’m just Zayin…
I am pleased to be associated with whiskey.

if “outside interests” means wine spritzers, salads, and shitty secretarial jobs, that’s still a piss poor life and mighty depressing.
Ahhhh but think of the elaborate, exciting conspiracies a-swirl around that secretarial job! Fodder for ENDLESS dinner conversation about who is out to destroy who and how the boss didn’t say goodmorning and what that means..
I agree. Until I started drinking a fifth of vodka a day, and running around with all my best friend’s husbands, I was really, really down.
Aunt Carol?
Its no fun taking away a womens many interest and caging them with marriage if they dont even have any!

“Desertion” — like marriage is what, the army?
What if my hobby is eating human flesh? WHAT THEN?
Kudos to the producers for getting their timing right!! I mean, getting Mitt Romney to dub his voice over that old guy at the :45 second mark? Brilliant!
It’s still okay for us men to be empty husks, though, right? I can still live my entire emotional and intellectual life vicariously through my wife, right?

Those ladies are cooking their delicious desserts in a weird looking kitchen.
Thanks, a lot Kelly. It’s women like you that keep the rest of us from landing a husband.
this is just good advice. don’t define yourself through a man. Thanks, 1980s!
unless you are Katherine Heigl
This video is kind of amazing in its perfect simultaneity of sexism and empowerment.
That’s exactly what I was feeling. The message is: “Women, go be yourself, because that’s what men want you to be. Once you have found fulfillment somewhere other than in a man, then you can come back and find fulfillment in a man.”
Boyfriends are apps, husbands are zerts. I call wives wifis.
I was guessing this video came out in 1978-1981 but I looked up the books she mentions and they were published in 1985 and ’87. She had one called “Men Are Just Desserts” in 1994. I am old enough that I can remember all of those years. I don’t remember them being this grim — but I guess they were? Have I arrived here from a backward and alien land?
I remember her “A Smart Cookie Doesn’t Crumble” book because someone I knew had it — no idea who, but my 8-year-old self was super excited to find it. Spoiler: It was not about cookies.
It was not well-received by People Magazine. Hahahahahahaha. People said it was crap. Yikes.

Oof! It is weird that People did not go on to recommend reading Susan J. Douglas instead.
I love Susan J. Douglas so much. Oh we’re going to make this #americanstudiesgum again, aren’t we?
