You're describing today's young women.
+1
The good men gravitate to the good women - I gravitated way above my goodness grade and don't feel a bit guilty....;-)
Because wedding cake kills a womans sex drive... old joke ;)
Why are good men so hard to find?
Men are all born equal. It takes time to make a good man and the prototype was lost decades ago.
LOL...too funny!
That’s my point.
Men should not be forced into behaving morally.
Blaming it on the women is blame-shifting and throwing the responsibility of men’s immoral behavior back onto women.
Men also don’t have to pressure women into having sex either but they do pretty much universally. And I understand why but that still doesn’t change the fact that more likely it’s the man who initiates it.
It applies to both. I’m not denying that.
I’m objecting to men blaming women for the condition men are in today. Men are supposed to be the leaders and set the example. What we are seeing today is what happens when men abdicate that role.
It seems as a rule most young people today are shallow as a puddle. Gone is common courtesy, chivalry, altruism, and other positive character qualities. It’s no wonder relationships don’t work anymore when everyone is out for number one.
It takes two to tango. Women should bring back the face-slap and spiked-heel stomp when men make unwanted multiple physical advances.
Women should not be forced into behaving morally, but by our choices, we can all force each other into behaving morally.
Men can also CHOOSE to NOT make those kinds of advances.
Then women would not be forced into a position of keeping them in line.
Again, the responsibility is being laid at the women’s feet.
God expects moral character out of both men and women.
Men were never exempt from moral failure. God administered the SAME punishment to both for it. HE doesn’t make distinctions or make excuses about boys will be boys, and men’s sex drive is stronger.... wink, wink.....
How can men expect to be taken seriously about their role of protector when they are the first to prey on vulnerable women?
True.
If the impulse to behave morally does not come from within, it must come from without to have a moral society.
“Men are supposed to be the leaders and set the example.”
Thirty years of feminization and being raised by man hating women has turned most men into pansies. Schools didn’t help. Women got what they(well the vocal ones) wanted and now it sucks for them. Actually I am sad for society but these whiny women should ask their mothers what they did to “men” and why.
Yes, it will be a cold winter for many because from the article and from many comments on this thread, I surmise most don’t even understand what the true purpose of marriage is: two people committing to remain together through the ups and downs of life - companionship so that one doesn’t have to navigate this crazy world alone. Sex is a bonus.
There will be a lot of lonely individuals going into the later years of life consumed with bitterness only because they failed to see the deeper matter.
Stupid generalization. I was 37, my husband 38, when we married, I hadn't slept with "30-50 guys"; didn't sleep with my husband until our wedding night (we had what you might call a moral code); and we are bonded like duct tape and gorilla glue. We're in love. Even 29 years later.
The part about fertility decline is more or less correct. We conceived about 6 weeks after we got married, which was a super OMG blessing, but that was followed up with a couple of early miscarriages and then nothing. It was difficult to even adopt a brother for our only-begotten Ben at that age, but we did. Again by Divine Providence, I am convinced.
So we've been lucky, or favored if you see it that way; but many find both fertility and adoption to be major challenges in their late 30's and beyond. OTOH, my mother conceived me when she was 42. Thank you Mother, thank you Father.
>I think some of them do reform, after a time, perhaps becoming “born-again virgins” seeking quality men, but I don’t have the patience to weed them out from all other ones.
Born again virgins is a ridiculous idea. The ability to bond is reduced with each new partner. People throughout the ages have known this which is why female virginity is so highly prized and why sluts are shunned.
“The only way to win (or not lose) a fixed game...is not to play.”
...or to play by a DIFFERENT set of rules. I wanted kids, but with the deck stacked against me as it is with American women, I played by a different set of rules.
Unlike many people I know, I wasn’t about to be defeated by our ‘system’.
But women didn't have to fall for it: except they tend to be herd creatures.
>>>Two years? Ladies, Ladies, Ladies. If ya’ll aren’t exclusive within 6 months (after a credit and background check and referrals from trusted people and a parent check on both sides) and aren’t planning a wedding around 9months for a marriage within 15 months, then pick up your purse and walk out the door and don’t look back, because it’s not going to get any better. If he’s serious, he’s coming after you to get you back with a wedding, and if he doesn’t, well, that’s your answer right there.
Life’s too short. And you’re too valuable.
<<<
That’s real solid advice for the minority of young women who are not sluts, not crazy, not a rabid feminist and otherwise normal.
I’m just disagreeing with your last part that “you’re too valuable.” Most women, not that valuable imo. Not valuable enough to marry.
