Carrying the Mate

Carrying the Mate

I saw this video and liked it. Men in Latvia testing their strength in a wife-carrying contest. See the video.

Well? Where should I start? After I watched the video, I scratched my head and pondered. I asked myself, "Now, what does it mean? How to I explain what I saw?" I looked for the true, deeper, underlying meaning of a man carrying his wife on his back? Carrying the wife on the back! Men still have to do that? I thought the 21st century woman wanted us to get away from that kind of thing.

I looked a little carefully -- Hauling the wife on the back, showing the little woman how strong men are? That is cave man stuff.

Well, the video is of a contest, right? Man and wife working together? The Man supplying the muscles and the strength; the wife showing her skill in hanging on? The best at the contest practice? Is this is the best way to get the wife to lose weight?

Then there are the participants positions. The wife carried fireman's style, that looks okay. The Estonian style? Oh my lord! Man and wife really get close. Is this something for little kiddies to see? Maybe that's why there are no kiddies seen in the video. Estonian style looks like something better performed in the bedroom, without the running.

Man carrying wife? Some video are so funny, one shouldn't try to explain them. What do you think?
