“Men are tired,” Venker wrote. “Tired of being told there’s something fundamentally wrong with them. Tired of being told that if women aren’t happy, it’s men’s fault.”

What? Young men aren't rushing to marry the Sandra Flukes of this world? I'm shocked!/sarc

Hate to say it but with a lot of the young men I’ve met recently I don’t think all the blame can be laid on the women. Maybe it’s just that men aren’t men anymore.

Just saying.

I will Marry again. I know I screwed up the first time~35 years ago. Allot of good Men and Women raised Daughters (my age, 57), that are good Women. I’ll be damn if I can find them though (NO!, I don’t hang in Bars nor Churches).

As Robert Cray sings: I’m a Good Man, Ok, maybe Arogant but Good, none the less....

Where have all the good (meaning marriageable) men gone?

I'm right here at home, without noise blaring, everything calm and peaceful, my money safe, and I can do whatever I want without explaining exactly why the transmission is in the bathtub.

Not to complain, but my woman ... wife ... has turned into beast since she went back to work.

The Frickin’ government makes two of us earn an income to have a normal life.

She comes home at night from work and bitches at the kids, at the dogs, at the cats and me. What ever happened to Ozzie and Harriet? I want a wife that greets me at the door with a Martini and makes me quickly forget the pain I go through at work. But we now end up in a negative and constant bitch session about how she doesn’t like her job and I do not like mine.

We at least share that. F feminists. Neither of us want this life.

This is what results when society drifts away from God.

Only in strict obedience to Him does a relationship make sense.

I have been outside of His will and (now) inside of it. I have proof...but it is only the kind of proof I can see and understand. Find your own...it awaits you.

As Chesterton said "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried."

I hate to admit this but my own son has told me IF he marries, he won’t do it unless he gets a pre-nup. I was sort of shocked. I told him that his father and I are happily married for all these years and why would he be so jaded at such a young age. His answer... “most marriages aren’t like yours and Dads. If half of the people get divorced, I’m making sure that my stuff remains my stuff”. I guess hearing all those horror stories from pals about their parents divorcing, cheating, etc... jaded him.

Having been long married and with no ax to grind here, it does seem to me to be true that women of all ages are more intent on marriage than men. The sad fact, which no feminist tergiversations can undo, is that in 2013 there is no benefit to marriage whatsoever for the average self-reliant man. The cold fact is, marriage is an outdated means used by women to hold men down.

For years, the "womens movement" has castigated men for not being as invested in their emotions and in 'relating' as women are, or want men to be. What they are now finding is, they have way overvalued these emotional response channels, and that men are much better suited to single life now than they are.

Feminist chickens coming home to roost.

Oh yeah?

And just how are men supposed to be men when all the PC BS rules in the schools and workplace punish those who try ?
50 years of Big Government taking over the duies that were once a man’s AT THE DEMANDS OF THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT have seriously skewed the society.

Chances are half the women you meet would kill the child you father and you won’t know.Marriage doesn’t change that.

So Half the women in America aren’t worth marrying!

If you are single and 57 and don't have some trainload of crappy baggage, take heart--there are about ten million single women in your age range looking for you and wondering where the hell you are.

Why is the transmission in the bathtub?

But then that is a mystery to be solved...not a reason for divorce.
