this may sound odd but the old convent and monastery model gave people options that do not really exist today.

To be fully human and with a purpose in the single state. To have it as a vocation.

To live, not alone, but within community but not family.

Not a bad life for many.

Very, very sad. They won’t get much sympathy from the pathetic bunch who post here.

Not necessarily.

The Universal Hot-Crazy Matrix is a good start (despite "crazy in the head, crazy in bed", the aphorism "never stick your dick in crazy" -- and the AOC version, "Never stick your *VOTE* in crazy" is still good).

But there's also --

Never make your woman your mission.

Be her oak.

Look out for gold diggers.

Beware "the whispers" (look out for her friends, women are herd creatures).

The Hamster Rules. Make it work for you rather than arguing with it.

Look at how she treats her Dad; look at her mother too; daughters of divorce are more risky; if you meet her overseas (South America, the Philippines, Eastern Europe) your chances are improved if you DON'T bring her back here;

and of course, "It's not about the nail." Women are motivated by a shifting mixture of hypergamy, tingles, and drama (and peer pressure); but she cannot control them; so if you let her lead, you'll end up in the ditch and she'll move on.

’ And you did make a disgusting comment on SWEDISH men and women.’

Tough, I do what everyone else here does, which is comment on the news. In this case, I see societies where two societies in the same part of the world, Northern Europe. In one society [Scandanavia] men are treated like shit, virtual slaves to the women there who run everything...in that society there are news articles about how everyone [men and women] refuse to do crap about some of the worst rates of rape in Europe. Go a bit East where they still allow men to be men [Poland and Russia, in particular] and you see stories with happy endings regarding what happens to immigrants who rape the locals.

All I do is what everyone else here does, try to explain what may seem like illogical behavior...and sorry, I’ll keep doing it!

Yea, many take the position that men deserve what they get, and I’m sure many do. But does SOCIETY deserve the fallout, are we better off in a country where my several of my best friends, people I’ve known for decades, want nothing to do with marriage and we now have a population changing so quickly that in a generation we’re likely to be more like Argentina or Venezuela than the country we grew up in - as millions more are like my friends?

As I’ve noted before here, I figured out who these women were my first semester at ESU and nothing in the decades since has changed that opinion...only reinforced it. And, of course, I responded the ONLY logical way to what’s become of American women, which was to find one from the ‘Old County’ when it was time to get serious and start on a family. Those were the values my kids needed for a healthy childhood. Not anger.

It won’t help the situation there, it’s too far gone for that. All that I’m saying is that it’s understandable when a badly treated slave looks the other way when his master is being attacked by a wild animal.

I rarely wish for a “like” button on FR, but your post makes me want one. It reads as if my wife wrote it - and I absolutely dote on her because I want to, not because she demands it.

I was a course for couples where the husband is abusive. Its function is to show you how the husband abuses his wife and tries to help the couple heal through help the husband see his abuse and what it is doing to his wife.

The problem is that, though it may work for a situation where there is serious spousal abuse, for all other marriages it damages the marriage seriously. It goes in with the assumption that the husband is the abuser.

Key point, though. The men go to one class and the women go to another. The men have a book they follow to root out how they may be abusing their wife in ways not physical. It was pretty hard on men, but I thought that was great and it actually did help me to see where I may be wrong in how I interacted with my wife (side bar: It helped me in how to deal with my current wife beautifully). But here’s the rub: I figured the women had their own book that would be pretty hard on them and help them to be better wives.

Nope. both classes used the same book. And the book was all about going in with the assumption that the husband abuses the wife and that needs to be fixed.

Meanwhile, one part that was very interesting was it helped you root out where you may be abusive by using the family’s responses to you to determine you are being abusive in the way that causes that response in them. And this is where it got interesting. What I realized was that many of those were how the family was responding TO MY WIFE.

Yep. I discovered in that class that my WIFE was the abusive one.

She was projecting.

They also got into supressed memories back then and she “discovered” lots of “repressed memories” from her childhood. Of course, this all turned out to be bullschitt. It also speaks to why I didn’t believe Blaysey Ford.

They do in court. Laws in most states defer to the woman, even if she is the “guilty” party. So much for equality.

I like it. Now “man up” and marry those sloots and let them take half your nest egg when they cheat.

Your story is spot on and is part of the problem in today’s counseling. The default position is the man is guilty because of the imprinted feminine imperative. I know people who have gone to couples therapy where the woman struggles with alcoholism, drugs, and being abusive - and yet the counselor ignored it all and assumed the man was the problem. No wonder there is a astronomical failure for couples counseling.

You hate females because only males can abuse people, especially if they are white and just like other male Freepers you are lying about your marriage situation only telling one-side of the story. Females are given a pass on this fact. You are only at fault because you are a man, accept that.



P.S. After reading this book my "Christ filled" ex-wife left me and our 4 children, of course all five of us were at fault. She lives 2000 miles away still blaming me and her children for leaving, lol. Youngest still talks to her at least.

A lot of people only have fish love, not spiritual filled committed love.

Ricky the Blog Pimp proves my point.

Seriously, if you are the author of this crap, go back to HS Journalism class.

If not, advise the actual writers.

Well ..I can't say that communal living would be an option I'd consider. There you will have regulations, schedules, and restrictions under other authorities than yourself which would not be anything I'd find of comfort nor stability. It would be suffocating for most Imo.

Your screen name is very ironic given this thread topic, *cough* Rational Male *cough*.

I know you're not him, but a free advertisement for his site couldn't hurt, right?
