The 60s killed us. Civil rights. Women's rights. It all opened a Pandora's box of complaints against the Old Guard white men. And we accepted it under the assumption that then enema would be satisfied.

But it just emboldened them to demand more.

It's like the guy who is polite to the person behind him exiting the building. He holds the door open. But there's such a rush of people that it becomes his job. He's the door holder.

That's the American white male. He's accepted his position as door holder and door mat and every freeloader in the country expects it.

TV is like having a 42 inch diagonal sewer pipe into your brain.

And I always say “cell phones are the best invention ever, and the worst invention ever.”

“Neither of us is demanding, she even puts up with me throwing my dirty underwear into the wicker storage box next to the hamper. “
_______________________________

Omgosh. Your comment about the dirty underwear almost had me LOLing.

I put a hamper in the Master Bedroom where my beloved dropped his clothing. He then throws the dirty clothing in the washroom on the floor. The washroom is actually just a few steps across from the Master Bedroom, so I cut him slack.

After I move the hamper from the Master Bedroom to the washroom and place it on the *exact spot* he drops his dirty clothing... you guessed it correctly; he starts dropping the clothing in the previous spot in the Master Bedroom.

Augh!

So I kept the laundry basket (his clothing only, is supposed to be in it) in the laundry room and pick up his clothing in the Master Bedroom.

He then tells me he’ll move it to the laundry basket after each shower. Does it happen, no.

So I still pick it up and move it a total of maybe 12-15 feet to the laundry basket in the laundry room.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

We’ve been married for a bit over 30 years. There are indeed worse habits, so I tell myself to be grateful!

LOL

Being to “nice” especially with women is always a mistake.

Just be yourself at all times. If they like you great otherwise lots of fish in the sea.

I knew a woman who was married to a professional man. He worked hard, long hours, was always inventive, creative. He was a dedicated father; she demanded it, for sure, but even beyond that, he was all in and was an extremely active dad. She didn’t like to cook, didn’t think it was her job, so he learned how. She didn’t like to tidy up, and he was no Mr. Clean, but he gave it a go. She wanted him to be compliant, yet resilient, and he tried to be all of the things she wanted. He even pretty well achieved it. He’d come so far that he sent us all a poem about how to appease the women in his house, who wanted him to leave the toilet seat down, he learned to pee sitting down. What a mensch! Only, in the end, she tired of his acquiescence and left him for a belligerent roofer 10 years her junior.

This fits the old saying that the only thing worse than not getting what you want, is getting what you want.

The 19th amendment was the final nail in the coffin.

The reason for marriage is sex, and the reason for sex is children.

So men need to bring wealth and personal virtue to the table, and women need to be and stay personally virtuous, and to want to have and raise children.

Today these are surprisingly radical ideas.

Smart people think that sex should only be after marriage, and not outside of wedding vows; and likewise, they want a partner who feels the same. This makes sense, because there is not an unlimited amount of energy for procreation, and it can be depleted in sex for pleasure, along with other problems.

But, for either men or women, having lots of sex partners somewhat ruins their chance for marriage. What a radical idea.

In the old days, women had husbands and ALSO had girlfriends. (Guys likewise had wives and also had buddies.) Among the problems we have with our atomized society is that you want your spouse to be your sexual partner, co-parent, and (only) friend. Plus, with all the lesbians and homosexuals out there, it’s not safe to have same-sex friends anymore.

People need to turn the television off. That's really what it comes down to.

Exactly. The overt and subliminal cultural Marxist toxicity level in American TV shows is off the charts - you'll have a whole different attitude toward life if you never watch even one of them.

“” and a wife who did the same, even calling him “Mr. Wiggins”, rather than by his first name””

It’s not so weird. LOL

We have a friendship with a young women who since she was a small girl was taught to address us by Mr or Mrs. Why? Because she was a child and not related so we took the formal approach. We were and are, like that even to this day with those who are under 18.

It’s really quite funny. Out of habit I still refer to my beloved as Mr....

I had an aunt who wanted me to call her by only her first name as she had Great Grandchildren calling her by her first name. She said it was great because she wanted them to be comfortable around it. When I gently informed her that Aunt xxx was the way I was comfortable with addressing her, she had a calf. Maybe even twin calves.

The young girl in question is now in her 30s and she still addresses us by Mr or Mrs... Said she’s comfortable that way. We don’t push it because we respect her opinion.

We look at it as recognizing authority when teaching it to youngsters and respecting authority as well.

It’s interesting you say that. My kids attend a Jewish school that is mainly Orthodox but has a mix of other Jewish kids.

We had a bit of a security scare and the ex military/Israeli dads filled in for security while they interviewed and hired extra guards.

Mrs. Jewbacca told me the liberal wives of the woke dads were swooning over the tough dads who showed up with pistols. (And that she wasn’t keen on me being around them.)

All it takes is a taste of the real world for women to like real men.

Some men do it out of love and others out of neediness and low self-esteem...I cater to my wife’s every need out of love and am amply rewarded because she is a Biblical wife who understands it’s a two-way street and actually respects me as well as loving me.

My beloved and I were in a restaurant on day when a father, mother and perhaps an 9 or 10 year old daughter came in and sat down.

I noticed her tee shirt: Boys are dumb. Girls rule.

I assumed her mother allowed the purchase of the tee shirt because I simply refused to think a father would want his daughter to that thinking such damaging thoughts, especially at such a young age.

I also assumed her mother wanted to be a ‘friend’ to her daughter instead of teaching her correctly in the ways of life.

Off my soapbox.

It’s jarring to see a woman built like that on a pro tennis court. And of course she looks ghetto fabulous in that dress.
