So you’re admitting that, at least the way you tried to present it, your 62% figure is “fake news.”

My husband treated his mother like a queen...

I thought women called that a “momma’s boy.”

My husband is kind, generous, respectful, and all those positive things.

BTW, I have no problem with you wanting things you don’t deserve from a man; I have a problem with you thinking you deserve them because you’re a woman.

papertyger keeps posting to me, trying to get me to respond with a commen, and it makes me wonder

WHY a man who claims to be happy with a childhood sweetheart would even be bashing women here? If he has a positive experience, why not uplift women everywhere...interesting.

This has nothing to do with divorce. Its all about a small group of bitter beta losers who hate women. Any article that gets posted that is anti women you will find the same usual suspects. The reason there is only a handful of them is because most men are normal and like women.

These are the guys always talking about going out and getting an Asian woman. LOL!

LOL! These beta cucks won’t have much romantic luck on FR. I’m a loser is the wrong song to sing to conservative women. :-)

I find that very interesting too. It must be Mommy issues.

Because your petulance amuses me. You may not answer me, but your vanity won’t allow you to truly ignore me.

Oh, that’s an easy one! “Women everywhere” don’t deserve to be uplifted!

Your Helen Reddy “I am woman hear me roar” routine is a weird one for a conservative site like FR. She’s a lesbian, you do realize that she’s a lesbian don’t you?

I have no particular interest in an Asian wife myself, so you can put that one to rest. I do understand why there are a lot of guys thinking that way, though. You amply demonstrate the why of it, although you’re oblivious to it.

What is crap, the situation, or do you doubt the elements of the situation the author is describing.

I can tell you from very painful personal experience the facts are accurate.

If by “issues” you mean “careful observation of behavior,” you’re spot on!

Much to my surprise, given all the flattery women heap on each other, I found she wasn’t very unusual.

I work with all men, and a few of them are chauvinists. They might not think I belong in that job, but they don’t hate me.
It fact, one of my best friends at work is what I would call a chauvinist.
However, This is not just chauvinists we are talking about here, this is pure hate of women.

I find your user name the most interesting thing about you. It pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

What exactly is a paper tiger?
A person or thing that appears threatening, but is in fact powerless.

Ya’ll throw that “hate” word around like it means something. Hate is personal and extreme. I’ve never met a man who “hates” women. I’ve met women who say they hate men but they really don’t. But You can’t really hate a group.
Unless it’s the Dallas Cowboys.

If I were young, I would stay the hell away from women. I’ve been fairly lucky with a stable marriage and two fine kids. But I would not roll the dice a second time. Not today


I have to confess that I try not to think about the situation in which modern young people find themselves. It just depresses me. I’m 64 and was able to get an annual six figure income by simply going to a few months of programming school. And my wife and I are in absolute marital bliss but we also are not raising kids, and she doesn’t work outside the home. We’ve been married 20 years.

My first marriage produced three daughters and also lasted 20 years - total. and this article describes pretty much what happened. Just recently one of my daughters (now almost 40) said her mom hates men. Yeah, I finally figured it out.

Getting married today is far too risky - at least in the US. I’d not do it. I might marry someone from another country, but not an american woman. No way. It depresses me just thinking about the odds that it will not work - and that includes “christian” marriages like my first one. The divorce rate isn’t much better.

And it’s important to know that over 70% of marriages are brought by the wife.

We need to eliminate no-fault divorce.

All that said, I dearly love my wife and honestly did not think it could EVER be this good. But then, we’re both 64, Christian, and from a different generation.
