They should change the name of this website to “Free Republic of Women-Haters, Except for Our Much Younger Second Filipino Wives.”

LOL.

No, let's change it to “Free Republic of Smart People who see Leaches for what they are, regardless of gender or nationality.”

"Maybe if there were more real men there’d be more real women."

LOL

How right you are. 8^) It takes a real man to attract a real woman.

But, a big problem exists in our education system. By the time kids get out of high school, they've emasculated far too many males - and half the females have been compromised.

Look among the home-schooled.

My daughter and I work at the same nursing home. Tonight we were discussing how many women at work are divorced. My daughter pointed out that it’s the “young” ones, 40 and under, who are divorced. Most of the older ones are still married.

When you marry, all you are doing is empowering a judge to destroy you.

“They are ALL TOO EASY to bed down, ...”

Reminds me of that movie, “Earth Girls Are Easy.”

Both sexes are to blame for this situation. I think the primary cause for dissolution of the American family is that many people expect perfection and instant gratification. Nobody is perfect. Expecting that in other people is unreasonable and will lead to disappointment. Our desires and expectations are formed from our cultural influences and these forces are not kind to the idea of sacrifice and commitment. There are good people out there and traditional marriage is still possible, but the numbers of such people seems to be dwindling all the time.

Old Hugh Heffner showed us that all women have to be hot and horny. Women’s reaction to this was anger resulting in feminism. Men have reacted to feminism by pulling back from women. Women have reacted to this by pulling back from men. Reminds me of my 8th grade graduation dance with all the guys on one side of the room and all the girls on the opposite side of the room. Forget Hollywood and Madison Avenue. There’s still love and happiness to be found. Quit expecting perfection and 24 hour a day happiness.

“I think the primary cause for dissolution of the American family is that many people expect perfection and instant gratification.”

Reminds me of a song by Mr. Mister called “The Tube.”

THE TUBE
by Mr. Mister
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs-0SCOQ30E

Hi dear, what’s on tonight
Let’s stay up and watch the tube
And bask in the big blue light
Bye bye real life, checking into checking out
It’s saturation time

Perfect faces, perfect background, perfect everything

I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
Because tonight, I’m everything I wanted to be

Well dear, it’s a good thing
I don’t have to look at you
And you don’t have to look at me
I think that’s a good thing

We’re perfect strangers, perfect ohh, perfect everything

I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
Because tonight, I’m everything I wanted to be

I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
Tonight I can take it good
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way
Because tonight, I’m everything I wanted to be

I wanna live in a dream that is never ending, ooh
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way

I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
Tonight I can take it all the way

I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending

I wanna live in a dream that is never ending
I wanna love all the wasted time I’m spending
I wanna live in a dream that is never ending

I have a “real man” son. He has dated and been dumped on by so many shallow women that he is finished at 30. I still hope that someday he will meet his soulmate. His father and I have been married for 39 years.

I never thought that I would ever applaud anything that Mister, Mister did but that song is a pretty good summation of my feeling on the subject.

“todays women are Sluts for the most part.”

If today’s women are sluts what do you call the guys they have sex with?

Ridiculous statement.

It’s from their album/CD, “Go On” which has very good songs that have a lot of good commentary on the state of society.

Taking advantage of easy pickins, Women when they were in their “Traditional” roles as Women, Wives, mothers,.. did not GIVE SEX AWAY FOR FREE, there usually was a ring and a date at the very least. Men Were required by their very nature to respect, and treat women like the MOTHER OF THEIR CHILDREN, otherwise they went to the Local Brothel.

"Most of my friends are in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. The ones that are not married are perfectly happy to be single."

Good for them. No one wants them anyway.

Don’t lump all american women in together. I’ve been married 30 years, have 5 kids (with the same man) and have been a stay at home mom the entire time and still am. My husband and I live a very traditional lifestyle.

So funny that you posted that picture. Have you watched the video? It’s a riot. My kids know that girl, she’s from my town.

Not a problem, but I wouldn’t care if it was. With my family history, I’ll be lucky to be alive in 5 years anyway.
