i think you’re putting too much
thought, and math, into
it...
You have it right, Marie. I have no daughters, only sons. I’ve tried to raise them to be marriage-minded. (I think their dad leaving only reinforced those teachings.) The oldest are in their teens, but I hope they continue to recognize the important of marriage and faithfulness into adulthood. I HOPE.
But, even if they do, will they meet young women who share their thinking on the importance of commitment in marriage? If my own observations are any indication, there aren’t many people of any age these days who believe in marriage and commitment.
Those are good tips, but after a certain age, eliminating single mothers and co-workers doesn’t leave you with much. Plus, chicks NEVER stand around in clubs/bars without girlfriends around them so that is ridiculous. Otherwise he is spot on pretty much.
A bath tub is no place to be rebuilding a transmission.The dining room table is much better.
“If they wanted to buy things to encourage courting, it would be golf clubs.”
Personally, I think if women wanted to buy things to encourage men to court them, they’d buy Houston Texans cheerleader uniforms.
Indeed. I couldn’t agree more with that post.
There’s a reason why so many military guys go overseas single and come back married.
You actually expressed what women do not want..good women...a man looking to please his woman. A strong moral character that is willing to say no and disagree with a woman or anyone, is what a woman needs. Whether she wants it could be immediate or later, time in dating tells.
Being single and lonely sucks. Being married and lonely sucks worse. Fortunately I have a wonderful woman in my life. I am very, very fortunate.
Aren't you supposed to withdraw from courtship when you get married?
Just askin'.

Note: Men wanted to date (and marry) younger women before feminism, too. ;-) Older men want to date younger women because they find them more physically attractive. Women are valued for their attractiveness. Men are valued for security and stability. (And I say that as an “older” woman.)
There have been times I’ve rejected younger women who were “pretty” but still as dumb as a “pretty box of rocks” who also expressed themselves in ways that would disgust a sailor. I’ve also dated older women who were pretty both inside and out.
“the two most important words in the English language are Pre Nup.”
Indeed. Marriage by the state is fundamentally a default property contract that MASSIVELY favors the female, whether their or children involved or not.
My first wife cleaned me out. Emptied the bank accounts one day, loaded up a truck in a blizzard with EVERYTHING in the house and moved across the continent in the dead of night. No prenup that time.
After that, it was prenup-city for me. Already saved my bacon once, and if things go sour again, I expect to at least still have some bacon left afterwards.
(BTW, I have a friend who joked that he knew it was going to cost him a house every time he got married.)
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”
All the good men are living at home with ma and pa, due to working for part time 1990s wages...They’re afraid of society where the gold digging females financially gang bang them in corrupt government courts.
It’s much better they stay single and watch out for themselves. Besides, it takes good paying, secure jobs to get married, have families, deliver babies, buy homes etc. Not happening in today’s America.
There's one simple truth I learned in my life. Nothing makes a man more attractive to a woman than another woman's interest.
During one of the many rough patches between me and my exwife she had been really taking me for granted and was beyond being just “cold.” We were at a store in the mall when a young lady friend/work colleague saw me and greeted me with a brief hug. That evening my “exwife to be” became a LOT friendlier.
Eventually, I got sick of head games, mental abuse and undeserved resentment so I got off the emotional roller coaster. That was the best decision I ever made.
What you spend for anything in the area of looking good is spent on YOU. You spend nothing on the man himself. You dont buy him dinner, you dont spring for the many miscellaneous gifts and benefits that are commonly bestowed on you.
When I was back out on the dating scene (hated it) I had a few very desperate women try to buy me gifts. Even with a beautiful woman, desperation is a big turn off.
So far, I'm the only freeper I know, who stores one of these in his bedroom.
Yeah, this was always the sad refrain of the pinch-faced 30-something feminists at the place I used to work.
One day, upon hearing the Where have all of the good men gone! lament coming from one of a gaggle of women in the cubicle adjoining mine, I popped up my head and replied, "why Amy, all the good men are already married to all the good women..."
The ladies womyn did not take that one very well...
