“I feel bad for the way men are treated in this country. There is no respect.”
Respect is one thing (and needs to be earned); a deeper problem is that it is legally acceptable (often REQUIRED) to give a less-qualified female or preferred minority a college seat, job or promotion over a better white male candidate. As long as that is the law of the land, I have no problem watching this country devolve into a Spanish, Arabic, and Hindi speaking mess; in fact, I’m playing an active role by raising my children in English AND Spanish. Much more than half of their friends have imported parents (like my wife); they’ll fit right in with the “New America”.
The “progressives” wanted to tear down the WASP ideal that built this country & culture. Congratulations; they won. Nothing tickles me as much as the look on the face of an older “childless by choice” (at least in her younger days)American woman when a gaggle of children pass them chattering in Spanish; they won.
“Losing weight would help, too.”
You’re brutal (but very funny).
I work with single childless women in their fifties and sixties that spend a lot of money trying to look 40; the cosmetic aspect won’t help very much. The deeper issues won’t be addressed (as evidenced by many of the comments on this thread - apparently American women, while angry, will stay the course to extinction).
As much as northeastern NJ is a toxic waste dump, there is more than 57 varieties of women to pick from in terms of different countries. Any American guy who wants a wife can find one here (for at least a 5 year stint - then she’s a citizen and can “go yankee” on you)/s
I didn’t pick up the tab. I shut the door and told her if she could open her own door, then she could find her own way home and left her standing there.
“Foreign women absolutely adore American men — some in deference to their own men — but both foreign sexes agree that American women are the pits [but for different reasons].”
The first sentence identifies the culprit better than anything else can; rather than go back and forth between US men & women pointing fingers, look at how many foreign women (from ANY continent or island) will marry an American guy. Now how many men from those countries would do the same with an American woman?
Game, set, match.
After reading this thread, I don’t like men or women. Must be why some folks want to marry their dog. LOL
Reason enough for a guy to want to study dentistry... a lot of opportunity there.
Your post wasn’t a rant; I think it was very good and I agree with it.
You want to hear sad? My darling husband and I married in 1996. During our courtship and engagement, I worked with a bunch of women-—some single, some married-—who had in the past been friends, but when I met my man, began to turn against me. These were all women with a modern, feministic attitude toward men and life. When we got engaged, they treated the news with open cynicism. They laughed and told me, go ahead, get married, but in a couple of years you’ll be sick of him and be glad to get him out of the house.
He bought me a gorgeous engagement ring, and the day he went down on his knee to put it on my finger I was the happiest woman in the world. When I wore it to work, one of the women made fun of it for not being the perfect color diamond. The manager, a female, swiped the ring when I had to take it off for a moment, and hid it all day, swearing she didn’t know what had happened to it. I was panicked and heartbroken over losing it. At the end of the day, she brought it out and gave it back to me, laughing over the “joke.”
Later on, as I got closer to my wedding date, I overheard the manager and assistant manager behind closed doors, wondering how they could find a reason to fire me. One of them said they were sick of seeing me flounce around, so happy all the time. So I quit, and basically told them all to go to hell.
Well, it will be our 17th anniversary in August and we are more in love than ever. I’m not happy when he leaves the house; I’m excited to see him come home. But those women did their best to try and ruin my happiness. I feel sorry for bitter harridans like that.
Part of me, though, wishes I could go back and deal with those witches again. I’m a lot less naive now, and a LOT less inclined to take anyone’s crap.

Poster dangerdoc thought this would turn into a Friday Night Fight thread. Seems to me it was more of a sorority pillow fight. I tried putting some gas on the fire, but it fizzled too.
“During our courtship and engagement, I worked with a bunch of women-—some single, some married-—who had in the past been friends, but when I met my man, began to turn against me.”
My wife dealt with the same crap; I thought at the time (and still believe) that it was caused by 1) the other women being in relationships with marriage nowhere on the horizon, and 2) some of them being in the only relationships available (that they didn’t think should end in marriage - settling for dating someone who was NOT marriage material).
“I tried putting some gas on the fire, but it fizzled too.”
I actually find it a fascinating topic (though very sad); if I wanted just to brawl I’d have gone to the religion threads. I have family & friends that would probably make good wives, but the men are understandably reluctant and the women recoild from prenups. Both sides understand the issues, but neither will concede enough to make it work.
The political/moral gap between married mothers and single childless women will transcend every other classification (race, income) because in the end, one group has a serious stake in the future (and they are concerned about it) while the other group has no future at all (and they are bitter about it).
When a man holds a door for me, I always thank him nicely, and usually, he's surprised and pleased. He'll be more likely to do it for another woman, later on.
You could be right. Feminists are some bitter individuals...
LOL!!
Disgusting. So glad you left that horrible place.
God's blessings on you & your husband.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
God bless you and yours.
Link?
There is a corresponding phenomenon among older women. Once the children are grown or nearly grown, they would rather be single. If they can support themselves, why be shackled by a cranky demanding old man who doesn’t want to travel, doesn’t want to see the grandkids and resents expenditures on hobbies.
more links on the right of the video... she's tooo funny I think the resentment is that they’re willing to drop the feminism (more willingly with passing year after 35), and it doesn’t do any good by that time. I don’t even consider many of these women “feminists”; at work they want promotions and pay but still want to leave at 4:30 every day (while the men toil until 6:30). They (and the men who won’t marry them) are often just overgrown children; this is only news because the women have had enough (and the men don’t care either way).
