Bah

Some people say that if they didn't work they'd go mental.  I am not one of these people.

I just want to be a kept man, is that so wrong?

I dunno, use it or loose it. You need some sort of intellectual activity to keep the brain going otherwise it will atrophy.

not at all - I like to think of how much more great stuff I could be doing if I wasn't stuck in this office 5 days a week.

I'd take a few courses, develop a few more hobbies, spend more time with my peeps and more time travelling. people who say that are the sort of people who wouldn't know how to fill the extra time!

Yep - utterly lazy. ;)

When you say kpet man do you mean a house husband or lying on a couch all day being waited upon hand and foot? If it's the former that involves lots of work, if the latter expect me to inform La Resistance.

Work is overated.

Personally, I believe that I wouldn't mind if my guy didn't want to go to work - fiancially, he'd be a kept man, but on the other hand, I'd want him to be pretty-much a house-husband - ie. I'd not want to have to stress about ANY housework and making food and tidying and I'd want to be pampered a bit and I'd want to have my sex on demand!

But I would prefer if he had a bit of ambition and self-reliance. I'm a very independant person and don't understand why anyone would want to be "kept" on a long-term basis!

I'd be SOOO bored after a couple of weeks - remember the school holidays - how crap were they! - But pay me to take a couple of weeks off work and be pampered - that'd be nice! :D

Your philosophy intrigues me; I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I used to date this guy called Marc - he lived off me for months and even when he had a job he treated my home like a hotel. I got sick very very quickly and it has made me somewhat harsh in my work ethic.

As long as you can support yourself as a gentleman of leisure - ie live of royalties, I suppose it's up to you.

I was actually referring to the French lot. Just realised I have the wrong period in history - I meant the revolutionaries. Close enough. It's Friday. grr.
