To the Guys who Read Leslie Ebersole's post Wednesday... It's Ok. Karen Anne Comes to Your Rescue !

By
Real Estate Agent with New Home Hunters of Fort Worth and Tarrant County

A few days ago, one of our Active Rainers, Leslie Ebersole, wrote a blog post titled Time to Pull On Our Big Girl Panties and Get To Work.

It got an excellent response here on Active Rain.  Leslie's post earned the coveted Gold Star, and her post was made a "Featured Post" as well.

One of the major points of her post was... as the title said... getting back to work and making things happen.

Unfortunately, the directions Leslie gave to help us DO that... only worked for about half of us.  Us Girls.  (Well... perhaps a few of the guys as well, but that is another post for another time.)  <smile>

So... because so many of the guys found themselves so ill-equipped to "pull on their Big Girl Panties" so they could "Get to Work"... in the interest of public service both to "the guys on Active Rain" in particular, and Realtors in general, I have provided the following:

                                                        

So... here they are, guys.  Now... you too can "Pull on Your Big Girl Panties and Get to Work."

Unfortunately... here is the necessary disclosure I feel compelled to offer.  Neither I myself, nor Active Rain, can be held responsible for any marital difficulties you gentlemen may encounter... using the above-pictured Big Girl Panties.  Yer on yer own, here.

Also, The panties pictured above come in what is called a "full brief" style, and fortunately... besides being available in the typical size range of 4-7... they are also available, by special order, in what we girls call "Queen Sizes."

So... for those of you who want to "Get To Work"... but don't have the required equipment... now you can.  For those others of you who may have "other" uses for them... "enjoy!"

I'll have to go check out Leslie's post.  I don't think I would have known about it without this post.  Those daily drops from AR get overlooked everyday as I go through my inbox.  They are never a high enough priority when clients are involved.

Karen...the only problem with any guy wearing big girl panties is that the majority of them have tiny booties...  They should probably grab some Underoos instead...  I hear Scooby Doo's are especially effective.

Hysterical! I am actually laughing out loud. I love this quip, for me it's a bit of revenge. For many years I worked in a conservative, virtually male-exclusive industry.  I would spend Sundays reading the sports page so I could at least follow the Monday am banter. Now I work in an office that is about 5-1 women to men, so guess who controls the conversation!?! Thanks for the mention.

Hi Karen Anne - It was funny that I had a similar thought - REVERSE discrimination - what about the men.  But - I didn't act on it and you did!  GOOD FOR YOU...Guys, we didn't mean anything discriminatory by not including you.  But we are learning a lesson here.  Passive exclusion is STILL exclusion. And women should have learned that from those who pioneered the way for us.  Just ask the later Rosalind  Franklin...

Hi, Karen Anne,

I like the color, just not the style! But it's the thought that counts. Great post!

Cheers,

LOL!!!  Claire beat me to the punch with the Underoos.  My nephew talks about wearing his big boy pants, but he's 3.  Good thing you found a suitable model for the over 3 crowd! ;)

My brother-in-law wears a Speedo and as uncomfortable as it is to see, it does suggest that there are men out there who may prefer the bikini cut.
