+1. works like a charm. Doesn’t mean being a jerk, but not being so eager to please every little whim.
No kidding!! Marriage has, to a certain extent, really developed my ability to act. :)
Nope. Maybe a little exxageration, though.
It took me a long time to learn, but seriously, most things are not really worth arguing about, except to a woman. Regardless of your intentions, you’ve hurt her feelings. Man up, take the blame, and move on.
I don’t recommend this for truly important stuff, like a matter of right and wrong. But here’s the thing. If a woman realizes that you care about her, 1) she finds much fewer things to pick an argument with you about, and 2) she is much more inclined to let you have YOUR way.
Yes, both have to feel that way.
Two words of advice. One, take your time selecting your mate. Spend a year or two, not a month or two, together.
Two. Mariage is WORK. So work at it.
Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, it looks like we are on the same page here.
I wonder if she’s supposed to represent the “complete package”. I used to hear a lot of that back in the ‘90’s. I used to think, “Yeah, but it should be wrapped in a strait jacket!”.
A-freaking-men. Two works I never heard my ex-wife say in over 10 years of marriage was "I'm sorry". It's a key indicator IMO.
There's a widespread misconception that nobody had sex before Hefner and hippies invented sex in 1967, or if they did, they didn't enjoy it. My late mother and mother-in-law used to laugh at this notion and get a far-away look in their eyes.
Its almost like "feminism" was the "trojan" horse for men to get everything they want:....constant access to porn and promicuous "no strings attached" sexual encounters..
You nailed it. This is why Hefner always supported contraception and abortion, as feminists do.
We are besieged by evil. Because America has been such a force for good, the devil attacks us.
Great article.
This is NOT my don-o, but the age-range is right, and you get the idea!
Women have been doing that to people like you son forever. I know, I was just like him and I watched women time and again go after the losers and bastards and then come crying to me.
Later I found the right woman and married at 26 to a woman who was 31. Been married for 23 years now.
They were screwed by the Feminists, the first of whom were .... wait for it .... Communists.
Go on, search on "Betty Friedan" and "Communist". She didn't leave college to follow some guy -- she left to come to work editing a Communist daily. The Party needed her, and she answered the call gladly.
Draw a circle. Mark out one-quarter of the circle, and label it "minorities". Take the remaining three-quarters, and divide it in two. Mark one "Male" and the other "Wimyn". Now mark "Male = Main Enemy". That's what the Communists did. That was their takedown plan for America.
So, how're they doing, courtesy of Miss Friedan?
You forgot a couple of modifiers. It has always been "open season" -- for guys who play quarterback, look like Adonis (or at least Charles Atlas or Gregory Peck or Christian Slater or George Clooney or Fabio), who drive around in AMG's and Porsche Turbos with wads of $100 bills sticking out both pockets, and who dress like the ads in Details and GQ.
Thanks and congrats! We’ve been married for 33+.
Men's window slams shut at 39-1/2 years old, precisely. Women can gauge a man's age very exactly and have uncannily accurate radar about this age factor.
A guy at 40 can bench-press the same weight he did at 37, weigh the same, look the same, have better income -- and still his "point" value as a potential mate plummets overnight. If he was a 6, now he's a 2 or a 3. If he was an 8, now he's maybe a four or a five. If he was a 5 before ..... well, it's been nice knowing you. Take up hunting or something.
This according to Jay Leno's autobiography, and he says he got it from the bartenders he used to talk to before he went onstage at all those East Coast clubs he worked back in the 60's and 70's. Of course, those barmen were drawing on five or six centuries of public-house wisdom. Leno calls it "The Rule of 39 and a Half".
Well, Stanford didn't think much of that homespun barroom wisdom, so they set up a rigorous, peer-reviewed sociological study to see whether this was true (speaking only of women now). And guess what -- Leno and the barkeepers were exactly right, in every detail. It only cost Stanford about $300,000 to work it out their way.
But thanks for the backup work, guys.
Ha! That is a great post.
Young Southern women are getting the feminazi infection as well.
The post I put up was from online. I didn’t wrote it. I did, however, marry someone from outside the US and am very happy. Took me recognizing the problem was the anti-family values of our society had made it nearly impossible to find quality women here.
Women in their 20s in the US are focused on careers. They start thinking about marriage around 30. By then they have slept around and are looking for Mr. Perfect. Good luck!
Thank you.
I recognized the problem but kept looking anyway, concentrating on my relatively conservative part of the country to keep me straight. Got a couple of looks in my 30's, after I was sufficiently secure financially and careerwise to think about it seriously, but that was it. No dice. Guess my heart wasn't in it, or I was too committed to my career.
