Personally when I meet my other half, I would love it. It proves that I am his. But I've heard other opinions that it's old fashioned.

Yes.
The sooner he knows the burdens he has
taken on in life, the better :-)

If you don't weigh anymore than a 50 lb bag of feed it might happen but other than that you can carry me.

As my stepmother watched that show about wedding dress hunting while she cut up apples for pie. Doesn't that stuff ever get old I asked. Of course I couldn't resist. She replied "oh no"and my dad and I chuckled. True story.

The last woman that spent the night with me I carried across my threshold.
Stood her up, took her in my arms, kissed her gently and told her "Welcome to my home".
She told me it was so very romantic.
When she reached over and locked the deadbolt I said, "Now, THAT is sexy".

How are we going to get the door open when I only have two hands and I'm supposed to be carrying you? Do I have to haul you up all the steps? This might aggravate that slipped disc in my back. It has started to hurt just thinking about it.

The steps and porch is not the threshold.
The "Threshold" is the plate at the bottom of the doorway.

Here's how you do it.
Put down any packages you might be carrying, retrieve them after.
Unlock and open your door.
Embrace her and plant a kiss.
As you do, lift her and while still kissing, spin around and gracefully place her inside the house.
Kick the door closed with your foot without breaking the kiss until you release her.
Then embrace her again, kiss her, break and say, "Welcome to My Home" or "Welcome to Our Home".
Kiss her again and say "My House Is Your House", then bend down and gently slip her shoes from her feet, giving each foot a gentle but firm squeeze.
Place her shoes in the shoe rack or neatly with other shoes.
Retrieve your packages and take care of your feet too.
What happens next is your own personal magic.

.....I would actually laugh if a guy tried that.

To each their own.

I do that and so far, I always brings a positive response.
Some women have never been treated with dignity and respect coupled with desire.

I find that condition too common.
5 out of 5 women have told me that they have never been treated so well as they are treated by me.
To me, that is a warning sign that I am dealing with someone that has issues. How those issues manifest is only surpassed by the fact that I knew they had issues.

I'm not looking to be a savior, I'm looking to be a partner.
Most women that have those kind of issues have been abused in the past.
That fact is not as damning as when they have "Unresolved" issues from the past.
Unresolved issues have a way of destroying the relationship.
My love is not meant to be a comparison.

If that were the case why are you not still with any of these women?

It's not just women who have issues, from what I've seen on here you have quite a few yourself .

Sure I do. I know this. I'm very selective because I have learned that decisions made from desperation usually self-destruct.


The reasons are as unique and individual as the women themselves.
I was with the X for 25 years.
When my rose-colored glasses broke, I gained some wisdom I was lacking.
Now that those rose-colored glasses are gone, I see things that I have learned I should not tolerate.

There is a woman out there that will match me on all the important levels of personality. When we finaly meet. I will no longer be looking.
It will only take one right one.

Hey guys, you're forgetting there are more than 2 genders now so who carries who and who is the strongest?

Depends on how fat the woman is... I can't carry 200 pnds very far or long...

I have a hand truck I use for carrying my groceries down the long hallwayfromhell. It can handle 350 lbs, wanna borrow it?

Many moons ago, when my ex and I were married, I carried her over the threshold to the house we had.. Didnt put her down till we got to the bedroom..

Lets see what I can come up with...

I know, They take each other in their arms on the outside of the threshold.
Hold tightly and hop together over the threshhold.
Both carrying the other at the same time.

Did I win a prize?
I hope its a fruity danish, I could really go for a raspberry cream cheese danish...

Yes!
But it is ok if the groom wants too.

I guess someone snatched her up and carried her over the threshold as the OP has deactivated.
