Young men giving up on marriage: ‘Women aren’t women anymore’ | |

Quoting: SmellslikeDrama I dont know if this guy realizes how genial this is. The only kind of man who walks with woman is the one you know is going to fall into a trap, because he is probably the type of man who is looking for the wrong woman. |

If you treated your body like a cum dumpster, get an abortion. If you stuffed your face with fast food every day, get gastric-bypass surgery. If your lazy, get on welfare.

They feel they need a man. In economic good times (up to 2007 or so) the women feel free to fuck over the men. I think that's what is happening. Now the women want those men, they might be better to them at least for a few years until their fears are gone, but the men have developed a hardened set of feelings. |

I was raised to cherish and spoil my man and he would take care of me, but you have to pick the right man for that and I did not. So many are purely selfish and think only of themselves. I'm sure many women are now this way too, but I don't have to deal with them. Because I thought only of him and he thought only of him, the household suffered until I finally realized there was no point in having him around. Now, I live alone and wouldn't risk dating for any reason. I have my own home that I bought and my two daughters love it here. There is nothing wrong with being alone, in fact, I prefer it. |

Actually American men are still well thought of on the international dating market, but this guy sounds like a loser and there were no kids, so I have no problem with what the young woman did breaking up with him. Things are so much simpler when there are no kids. Go your own way, don't ask for money or give it, just leave with what you brung. Whether married or not. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25531744 thats the problem with women today, they try to sell their college degree or career to get a man, but men dont care about that, men looking for women only care about two things, your looks and if you are a good person its more about your looks and what security you can offer as well as the trinkets. I dont think the 'good person' bit matters so much I don't think that is the issue with this one. I feel she is setting her priorities and standards by what her nemesis, "the blond skinny useless arm bling," sets as acceptable. That will only end in failure. She needs her own priorities; Bling for bling should not be one of them if she is to find what is in bold above. Let alone LOVE. She will not find LOVE if she is conditioned by the confinements of social pressures.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20100485 United States 03/03/2013 02:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I worked for a large corporation after graduation and had a corner office by age 28. After marriage, I purposely turned back the clock and behaved in a traditional female way. I haven't worked since 1991 in the corporate world. I am not a doormat, but I do yield to my husband on disputed matters, although he always seriously considers my advice. Twenty-five years later, I am much happier as my current self. You could say that I did a deliberate experiment on myself to see if feminism or anti-feminism was better for me and I chose anti-feminism. My husband is the breadwinner, I take care of and have homeschooled our four children, two of who are now Ivy League students. I also try to make a home of comfort and blessing for everyone who lives here. We have everything we need, but we have also been very thrifty through the years to afford this traditional lifestyle. It can be done and my husband and I are very happy now twenty-five years later. Our motto: Happiness is wanting what you have - not having what you want. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 35490600 Brazil 03/03/2013 02:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All these females who realized they fell in a trap and they now look around and realize there is no going back. They are old and alone. They have not done enough. They didnt choose the right person to be their husband. They believed that keep trying they would eventually find a man "suitable for her". Now, there is not a single man who considers them "suitable for him". Its not about having a sex partner. Women were led to believe they could use sex as a power balancing tool in the relationship to get leverage. The only way a marriage can work is if the women down right treat the man as the Lord of her life. Sex as a leverage for power/control/freedom in a relationship only works until the woman is 25-30 years old and only gets weaker as the time goes by. The only thing that keeps a man loving a woman, and that most of the women in the last 30-50 years WONT EVER EXPERIENCE, is that she gives him the rule of the relationship. The husband has to be the reason for her to live and be in a relationship. It cant be for herself. It cant be for the children. The woman cant focus on "career" or "study" or anything else. For the family unit to work, one of the two has to submit to the other. Women who treat relationships as a negotiation table will be evaluated on those standards. Once they no longer can keep up their side of the bargain: 1. being the first woman of a man. Very Valuable. If the woman has had dozens of other men. There will always be some restrictions on the man's heart. The fact there were other men before him. That kind of thing. It cannot be compared with how the man evaluates a woman when he knows he is the one and only of her life. Now, for the women to score high on this criteria, at the current day and age, she likelly has to be very young. Wich comes to the second criteria. 2. Youth and Beauty. All young women are naturally attractive. That is by God's design. The older the women get, the less attractive they become. Even a very ugly woman is attractive if she is healthy and young. But once a woman gets old, there is nothing much she can do to defeat nature, no matter how beautiful she once was. She is competing against younger women. For criteria number 1 for a western "modern" society, is more like a bonus, rather than a requirement. So many men will not require a woman to be a virgin, but either way, you can be certain that men would prefer his wife to to have had dozens of other males who fucked her. So even then, the beauty criteria was made to be more relevant. Such a focus was given to beauty, through pride, vanity, covetousness that women were led to believe that JUST BEING BEAUTY WAS ENOUGH. And thats where they fell. Not only their beauty is temporary, but the beauty also is not enough to win the heart of a man. So the actual main criteria ends up being a hidden one. One that the main stream media, the entertainment industry, culture, education, etc dont talk about. In fact, everything was done to boycott that. Wich stems back to the fact that women were made for men, not the other way around. Women are supposed to live for their husbands, be submissive, servile and obedient to them. All that religious "bullshit" you get from judaism, christianism and islamism. Thats how everything worked for thousands of years until the 1950's, when TPTB started to make women feel equal, independent, have the same authority and power as men. Through "science" and birth control, through feminism ideologies, through changes on laws, costumes, labor structure, every single culture venue started to portray a glorified image of what was an impractical women role for society. In short, thats how everything went down. A woman who gave her heart to her man, will keep him. The woman who made demand, tried to negotiate and be rebel, transitioned into lonely moms and over glorified young sex objects. This is very sad, because many women, had lost their lifes never fully loving and being loved. Because they never gave themselves integrally to their husbands. Never really achieving a stable family unit. And now, many of them, blame it on man. Who likewise were deceived to treat woman as sexual objects only and to expect them to also work, besides being a wife and a mother. Women who understand and accept the role of being a wife and a mother will not be forgotten/thrown out or exchanged by younger girls. Most women never knew that all they had to do was to LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS UNCONDITIONALLY. This is still much stronger than beauty, age or sexual history/background. You may learn from this. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7408542 United States 03/03/2013 02:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was raised a feminist in the 1960s and even took some of the first "women's studies" classes offered at my "large mid-western university". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20100485 I worked for a large corporation after graduation and had a corner office by age 28. After marriage, I purposely turned back the clock and behaved in a traditional female way. I haven't worked since 1991 in the corporate world. I am not a doormat, but I do yield to my husband on disputed matters, although he always seriously considers my advice. Twenty-five years later, I am much happier as my current self. You could say that I did a deliberate experiment on myself to see if feminism or anti-feminism was better for me and I chose anti-feminism. My husband is the breadwinner, I take care of and have homeschooled our four children, two of who are now Ivy League students. I also try to make a home of comfort and blessing for everyone who lives here. We have everything we need, but we have also been very thrifty through the years to afford this traditional lifestyle. It can be done and my husband and I are very happy now twenty-five years later. Our motto: Happiness is wanting what you have - not having what you want. Very true. |
