Nashville is a fun town — though I don’t care much for the giant “motel” they built several years back. And I imagine the music industry has tightened up quite a bit as well.
I’m in NYC until the last dog dies, as Jimmy Breslin used to say.
p.s.
Where else but Nashville would you find Charlie Daniels playing fiddle for Bob Dylan or Ringo Starr?
I’m astonished at how selfish have become the last 20 years compared to their saintly mothers who gave so much to their spouse.
It’s night and day. Most woman that yearn for a career can’t make the selfless sacrifices needed to make a marriage work. IMO
Then, why do so many c-level chicks hook up with their garage mechanics?
What’s a “c-level chick?”
Okay, got it.
They may hook up with the mechanic, but they don’t marry him. Neither is he apt to spread gossip in her social or professional circle. Basically, she does him as a goof — a little adventure that “doesn’t count.”
A lot of men see sex as a conquest. So, they see hooking up with a high paid woman as a kind of prize they won. The fact of the matter is, the women move on in a nanosecond and the mechanic has no claim on them.
That's true, especially post 9/11. Officers with degrees that would otherwise make them 'eligibles' for women with degrees from top colleges (which includes virtually all "alpha" females) generally don't have problems, except with a relatively small subset of lefties. It was much worse during the Vietnam era, when the military was generally reviled by young women on a broad scale.
Actually, it's worse than that...she's part of the male-bashing industry that 'feminist academics' has become. Her professional life is about "tearing down the Oppressive Patriarchy" -- I remember women turning, in the space of a couple of semesters, from perfectly normal historians and literature speciaists into harpies before my very eyes in graduate school back in the '70s. Happened to the wife of a friend of mine, both classical historians. No even remotely sane man would want to spend more than a roll in the hay with such a female, and only then if she were (a) more attractive than average, and (b) accomplished in the erotic arts.
“spnak their butts...?”
Lysdexics, untie!

I’m highly disappointed in this post. I scrolled through 70 replies and could not find one picture of what this “alpha female” species looks like.
There is no one physical type. They come in all shapes and sizes.
I think I'll toss in my 2 cents and simply state that a confident man interested in a woman will look for someone who will make a good "wife". Not a corporate CEO, not a power broker and not some sort of Alpha Female. Those occupations or titles are irrelevant to the position being filled, which is simply; "wife".
Now if the lady happens to be any or all those other things, GREAT!
Still, we are talking marriage, not a corporate merger.
I guess they wouldn't for my one of my favorite tunes...
"Put another log on the fire" (ignore the video, this is the only link I can find to the music.)
Put another log On the fire.
Cook me up some bacon And some beans.
And go out to the car And change the tire.
Wash my socks And sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, Baby, You can fill my pipe,
And then go Fetch my slippers.
And boil me up Another pot of tea.
Then put another log On the fire, Babe,
And come and tell me Why you're leaving me.
...”Not a single one of these alpha-women will ever look twice at a man in uniform.
Military service is beneath contempt”...
And, an Alpha man would most likely not look twice at one of them. Alpha-women cannot just pick and choose whom they want to marry. The man has to cooperate. The Alpha women I know are not nurturers..They are competitors and if they cannot run everything and make the rules, trouble ensues. Only a complacent man who will keep his mouth shut will do.
I don't see any one-size-fits-all answer to this problem (and I agree that a barf alert should have accompanied this article)... I'm sure NOT going to perform a do-it-yourself lobotomy in order that my head never appears to be higher than some man's (figuratively or literally).
I'm not out to rip men apart, but I'm also NOT willing to play helpless or stupid just so that some guy will feel better about himself.
Go for it, Pissant. You da man.
“Truly confident guys have zero problem with a wife who is taller, smarter and makes more money, Henry Kissinger was a good example”
I agree. Maggie Thatcher was a great example of a strong woman who didn’t try to threaten men just to prop up her own fragile ego. She was comfortable with her own capabilities, and very confident in her own skin. She didn’t try to get in a p!ssing contest with every man she met to prove how tough she was, unlike many women these days.
“and their daughter and a few of her friends were there.....in their 20’s.”
I saw a situation just like that at a wedding for a girl in her early 20’s. All the bridesmaids and friends were talking about the same kind of stuff. ‘He better make enough money, he better dress the right way, etc., etc.’
At first I thought they were joking, and then I realized that they were serious about most of this stuff. Not a one of them stopped to think what they might bring to a relationship, it was all about what they wanted in a mate.
I avoid Alpha women period. I am more interested in other qualities, they can complain until the moon turns blue.
