“By choosing your spouse wisely”

That’s it in a nutshell. I chose wisely and so did Mr.GG2. We don’t like to be separated for even a day. We never fight either.

Hey far be it from me to break up the Sunday morning butthurt breakfast club. The same group of sad sacks that gather on everyone of these threads to commiserate with each other.

Here’s a free tip. What women don’t want is a whining beta male who can’t generate enough testosterone to motivate her to follow his lead. LOL!

“That story proved to me that the new generation of females are hunting for a provider, not necessarily a mate... “

Yep, sounds common. My boys are doing really good financially, easily top 1% (after all, we didn’t send them to public schools), so I’ve told them the same - although went further and told them to simply RULE OUT any woman born in the US, or Western Europe, it’s simply too risky. And, in a way, it’s not even the fault of the women, but of the environment. In traditional parts of the world, divorce is looked at as a failure of the woman to please her man (rightly or wrongly), while in the West divorce is looked at as a way to get free money. So even a girl with good intentions in the West is going to get TREMENDOUS PEER PRESSURE to dump the guy, every time a ‘rough spot’ in their marriage hits. It’s very, very, hard to keep holding out...and many, maybe most, don’t.

Since we’re handing out tips, here’s one for you. You’re just reinforcing the sentiment behind these threads, you’re sounding like a complete shrew. Maybe you’re not, but step out of your own shoes for a minute and maybe you’ll see where your assumptions are going off the rails.

Good for you! So many times the other person is looking at a list of credentials. I can understand some guidelines but everyone has a story about where they came from, where they are at, and where they are going.

The author is in fact married and not divorced. I don’t read this as a women-bashing piece at all. I read it as more
of a lament on what the institution of marriage has become in the western world in general and America in particular.

What remedy do you believe NOW is needed to TRULY force women to live by the same rules as men?

Precisely that. Force women to live by the same rules as men. The most numerous block of voters (women) should NOT be afforded the special privileges they enjoy today.

Notice one of Ambrosia's comments: "...children must be taken care of financially. So our laws do favor women in that area...."

She presumes the law favoring women is synonymous with taking care of the children. I doubt she even notices the numerous assumptions that brief comment reveals.

Most women have so thoroughly internalized the excuses used to favor them that they now perceive questioning those excuses as a hostile act. (Who doesn't understand the REAL reason child support must be paid to the ex, rather than direct purchase of goods and services for the child's benefit?)

. I believe men have to reevaluate ALL of the disparities we've learned to take for granted, and STRIDENTLY campaign against them, because women are going to stridently oppose losing such favors.

As Rush Limbaugh once said: women want to be treated like ladies, but they want to be able to play as rough as they need to win. Men need to learn to play as rough as WE need to win.

I guess your type can be part of the problem (i.e., if men don’t like being treated like shit, tough luck) or part of the solution.

At this point men, in large enough numbers, are simply THROUGH WITH MARRIAGE. As I noted above, my boys are doing quite well and I’ve told them multiple times to NEVER marry a Western-born girl...and they take my advise seriously - they won’t even date American girls.

Now you can say I’m a jerk, and I don’t know what I’m talking about, but there are three less boys available because of me...and there are likely millions like me, giving similar advice.

Perhaps a better approach would be to LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD, so men don’t feel so screwed by our legal system...but then, why bother? I guess.

Then why are you still taking up bandwidth, besides venting your spleen?

Oh, that’s right. Venting your spleen IS why you’re taking up bandwidth!

I keep forgetting that “duplicity” thing.

Funny, in my experience what women WANT is to be captain of the ship until they're fifty yards from the rocks...THEN they want a male to "lead" them.

They’ve arrived although the ringleader apparently hasn’t rolled out of bed yet. Revisit the thread.

“Re-criminalize adultery and get rid of no-fault divorce. That and reducing or eliminating welfare...”

That would eliminate most welfare.

„We both spoke with the officers and the only reason I didn’t go to jail is because the fire chief lived next door and knew the cop.“

ponder that deeply - imagine how many thousands of people‘s lives have been ruined because they didn’t know the fire chief next door.

I’ve been married to the same women for almost 30 years.
How many women? That may be the secret.

Oh pleeze. Stop blaming women for everything. Do you have any clue of how pathetic the comments on this thread sound?

The article itself is ridiculous. If only women would just submit to men everything would be fine. If women would just blindly follow the man’s lead. If women would just STFU about helping with the housework. If women would just stop beotching because I can’t maintain an income stream. Blah, blah, blah!

Apparently a few of you guys chose the wrong woman. Sometimes women choose the wrong man. It happens. People who choose wisely stay married. Next time choose wisely or just stay single if you aren’t up to it.

I guess it’s okay to be a harpy as long as they’re only doing it to low-t beta males....
