motherly instincts in they will see things long before a man would will with relationships. monica told me that the girl liked Nathan long before Nathan took notice. I have learned to trust that type of instincts. my wife will mention when a woman flirts with me and I don't see it. men are that stupid at times. most of my wifes issues with her body are from work not age. she worked her right arm to its current state and her back from that as well.
Your wife worked in a job that wasn't good for her physical health. But those kinds of problems happen to men, too. On the other hand many women have worked under tough coditions (stay-at-home-moms are historically an exception, most women in history had to work on their fields or support their husband's manufactory or workshop, and housekeeping was a physically demanding job in past century's too) and didn't experience big physical damage.
People shouldn't have to work in a job they aren't made for. Some women are made to be marines or lumber jacks, while some men get ill as soon as it's colder than zero celsius.
Also many women struggle with mother instincts. It's not as natural as you think. I have a poor sense for other people and I for sure won't notice when a guy is flirting with me. If it works well for your wife she's lucky, but I tell you women have to learn social competences like men do, some are more talented than others, and usually girls get more encouraged to do things that help learning social competence than guys, but it's not as natural as you think.
I'm a very socially untalented woman, most men I meet are better at handling people and relationships than I am.
hormones for a man is different. do men have large amounts of testerone or estrogen? do our breasts produce milk? do our ovaries drop eggs? oh yeah. we don't have an ovum nor uterus nor vagina. we have a penis. what I call the second brain. with Nathan. and boys in general. when we have them in church the boys will run before class and play. the girls in general at the same age wont. yes younger they do. that isn't taught to them. just nature. are there exceptions? yes!
Men and women have both estrogene and testosterone, and both have largely similar effects on our bodies and our behaviour.
The difference is that men are more on the testosterone side and women on the estrogene side. In general the hormonal system of men and women has more in common than differences.
While male and female genitals are different they are made from the same tissue during the embryonal growth. The female clitoris is basically a penis, just a lot smaller. It also works in a very similar way.
now then unto the briefing. from what I recall as it was over 20 plus years ago and im not jag lawyer on this stuff
1) go to a bar and german female next to you might be a minor despite her chest size. poke it and and its the case the army will let you rot in the german prison as theres Is nothing you can do
2) german girls like gis for their money they will cheat on their husbands to get things from you or bf or just date you to come here. seen that all to many times.
3) if you marry them be sure they are true.
Whoa that's a load of sexist and "racist" (if you can call that racist since being German is not a race) bull dung.
Maybe 20 years ago things were different. The western parts of Germany used to be a bit more backward in gender equality terms than the GDR, so I can imagine those gold diggers existed more than they do now and more than in the eastern part of the country. But I'd guess it's really an outdated advise. Like Mike S said, after the war there may have been a lot of hopeless women that were happy about a way out of the destroyed country. But it's not like that any more. What I can imagine is that there is a *small* number of women that dream of emmigrating to the USA but don't see a chance to get a green card or a job over there, thus they choose the way of getting married to an American. That may happen, but I suppose it doesn't happen a lot.
remember that in the army then and even now its a time honored right of passage to fornicate and commit adultery. I was a virgin when I entered service and lost it while in service.
Eh... congrats?
I hope she wasn't your commanding officer.
(Although.... wouldn't it be awesome having to salute to your lover the morning after? I think it would.
)
with talking its one thing. do I have to be able to buy jaci first bra? or would that best for the women who actually have the breasts to were them? would I ?yes if I need to but its best for monica or my wife to do that. if they were gone and I had jaci then I would find a lady in church to take jaci to the right store and get the bra.
I bet when the time comes jaci will probably have the knowledge how to buy bras herself. Believe me, kids are well informed about those things nowadays.
Traditionally it's the women passing on the knowledge about womanhood to their daughters, but I can see a huge benefit in dads talking with their daughters about those things because having a male point of view may help the girls understand things better and be less awkward about men.
And yes, dads should be able to go bra shopping with their daughters as if it was the most natural thing.
Really I'm not likeable. 
Now I'm tempted to just write you a PM, just to scare you a little...
