A book well worth reading.

HA!
Doesn’t matter. Still reflects badly.
Sorry, I just responded to the wrong post. Ignore my last one.
LOL, how true. In summary, we can descend to being beasts, but it is our faith and free will that keeps us men.
I can only assume you are looking in the wrong places or are attracted to women based on criteria other than their character and wisdom.
Even though I’m middle aged and don’t have many young single friends, I can think of several young Christian women who appreciate nice guys, even more who have recently married nice, Christian young men.
They are out there, probably not in bars or the gym, but they are there. I met my husband while volunteering, a young couple we know met at a Christian young adults fellowship group. She’s absolutely beautiful inside and out and her groom is a great guy. He would die to protect a woman, never would hurt one.
Oh and nice doesn’t equal submissive and weak. Kind loving men can still be a leader and able to protect.
The article is spot on.
I had a good man, but I lost respect for him due to the very behaviors described in the article. Uncontrolled anger and profane out bursts that escalated as the years went by. It makes me very sad.
A book well worth reading.

I don’t get it. There are a million good women out there looking for a solid, kind, loving guy.
I would have to guess you are looking in the wrong talent pool, or there is something about you—dress, focus, communication, who knows—that is warding them off.
You ought to ask one or more from the past, see what they have to say.
The only advice I would give is to look to a woman’s family, her background. If the family is strong and loving and welcoming, (and God-fearing), you are likely in the presence of a good wife-to-be.
If there is divorce and trouble and addiction and so on—you will encounter same.
A man’s relationship with his wife will often mirror his relationship with his mother. A woman who loves or hates her father will likely be similarly disposed to her husband.
Just my observations.
How about how to be a woman that men respect. If you dress, act, and talk like a slut, which feminazis are pushing, maybe the sluts are getting what they deserve?
Number one, don’t worry about gaining approval from women.
On a basic level, what women want in a man are a) providence (a house, a car, money) and b) protection.
I don’t think they mind if a man acts like a beast because women would rather have a lion to tame than have a pre-tamed lion. There’s no challenge in that. If the man is violent, that’s okay as long as it’s not violence toward her or her children.
While the rabbi’s advice seems reasoned and wise, he forgets that women are animals too and, like most animals, they care most about their own survival and the survival of their progeny.
Thank you for such an intelligent essay.
Myself, I simply say that there is nothing feminine about feminism.
9pm on a Saturday in September is well after sunset most everywhere, isn’t it?
Thanks for posting!
Bravo! Well said!

Women in America want a man with $$$$$.
Well maybe just the $$$$.
There are exceptions to the rule, but they are few.
Many good lessons here, thanks. Sadly we are losing many of the institutions and activities that previously taught and represented manliness. This doesn’t bode well.
“Women in America want a man with $$$$$.”
Very true - especially in south Florida and southwest Florida (Ft Lauderdale, Naples, etc).
I’m sure there are other gold-digger hotspots - but this area seem to rise above the rest.
