We're married to our first wives. Some of our wives work, some of them don't. We're professionals and contractors with the means to live in pricey New Jersey homes.
We're coaches for our kids teams. We're volunteers for church, school and the poor.
We get together occasionally at a sports bar and pig out and drink but not in the same quantities as we did 20 years ago.
We have responsibilities and we live up to them. We don't have a lot of time for moaning.
In short, I would say we're plain ol' men.
It's not a bad life.
In my office in NYC, I know of some of these Sex and the City type women just a few years younger than me. Virtually all of them quite attractive.
They do lament about the lack of good men but then, why did their type give me the brush off 15 years ago.
Perhaps they get noticed more because they have time to write articles like this.
seems the author was dumped for being a “female dog” more than a few times.
Like a typical feminist, she blames men.
This article could have been written in any decade with only minor changes.
The author would have been a femal dog in all those decades.
Like your tag line.
Thanks for the ping and the list! LOL. Tell Darla I have dibs on Alfalfa.
Their is too much drama in dating today. I would rather to just travel and obtain an education and if I meet someone, fine, if not then that’s fine too.
He doesn’t need a woman to marry to become a citizen either.
Thanks!
Ladyjane, it’s not that you’re not bad... it just that you’re just not bad ENOUGH.
Women have forgotten the power they used to have, because the feminists convinced them that they didn't have any power, but that they every right to sleep around, 'just like the guys do'. It has made for a sorry situation, indeed.
ROTFL! Ain't that the truth!
The problem with the model you refer to is that making a man wait until after marriage for sex is no guarantee he would stay anyway.
One thing to get him, quite another to keep him.
thank you.
“I may be wrong but at least in my circle of friends and acquaintances it seems when career minded women hit their late 30s and begin looking to settle down, the men in their late 30s have decided they’re going to be bachelors. lol”
Or, if they want a family, they’re looking for women who are more likely to be fertile and provide them with offspring - say, in their late 20s or so. Ladies, don’t hate me for saying that - it’s just a biological fact.
It took me a long time to accept the concept of being a nurturer. It boils down to doing little things for others who know how to recognize and appreciate and reciprocate the little things.
All the ‘me, me, me’ stuff has to end. The sooner the better.
S’right,
at this point in my life I’m looking for a 20 year old male with exessive stamina and endurance.
Don’t hate me guys, it’s just a fact ;)
You’d get less backtalk from a vibrator.
I’m just sayin’...
;o)
Interesting article.
Some of these women (and men) should read the “Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands” by Dr. Laura.
She has lots of comments in that book that are dead on. A women looking for a man will find plenty of info in that book.
And they are 100% reliable too!
I like ‘em young and trainable.
Ya got yers (How’s the trainin’ comin’?)
