"I'm available !"

One of the most pertinent questions a man can ask himself is, “What exactly do I want from women?” Once that has been answered, and it should not take long, the next question becomes: “What do women want from me?” That, alas, is far more complicated to discern.
The unfortunate reality is that while most men are clueless about what women want, many women also are confused concerning their desires. It’s commonly assumed that women, as a group, desire children and marriage but that simply is not the case anymore. In the last few years attention has been given to “the female player” and absurdities like “men who get used for sex,” which is as paradoxical as the phrase “the fork was exploited as a eating utensil.” Yet, silly as this mumbo jumbo is, it doesn’t stop the media from sensationalizing the topic, nor does it prevent many young women from following the lead of the press. The New York Timesrecently covered, in a celebratory tone, the phenomenon of girls eschewing commitment in exchange for short-term pleasures:
“Yes, they take pride in having thrown off the shackles of earlier generations of single women. They are not waiting on Friday night hoping ‘he’ will call. They make the first move. They happily see two or three guys simultaneously. Spontaneity is crucial, but even more is a good clean exit strategy from any guy who turns out to be Mr. Not Exactly…While men are obviously central to the ‘The Hookup Handbook’ ethos (do you want to hook up with a Metroman or a Himbo tonight?), boyfriends are most definitely not. ‘A relationship isn't the easiest thing to maintain, but swearing off boys isn't a viable option either,’ the chapter on ‘Defensive Non-Dating’ states...

Too bad i wasn't around earlier--this would have got some reads
I've spoken to all my friends about the need to start looking for husband good father material. I may be 18, but how many women thought they had all the time in the world at 18? I don't want to be one of those desperate 40 year old women who gets her eggs frozen in a lab before they go to stale.
Women may say they don't want a family, but they do. It's politically incorrect to admit it.

You're 18? Congratulations, I didn't even know what politics was at 18. You're way ahead of me.
These damn Marxists, the campaign to destroy the family unit is blooming......
"I'm available !"
All of this applies until the first wrinkle. Good luck with your hook-ups, and may God help you finding a nice guy after that.
Missy.
One really can't 'have it all'.
Aggressive: meaning throwing themselves all over some guy. That's attractive, NOT.
Women should not be aggressive on the dating scene.
Many women are confused, because in the workplace it's good to be a go getter.
Figuring out a woman is like trying to hit a moving target... just when you think you have the relationship in your sights and under control, she goes and changes her mind about everything you had previously agreed upon and you have to start the process all over with her or someone else. At least that has been my experience. Me? I never change, and that drives most women crazy because they like to try to change men as much as they like to redecorate their home or their wardrobe.

thats awesome man. i'm copying the photo
My mom did it all. She had 4 kids and full time career. I mean a CAREER, a business suit briefcase 9-5 career.
If you want to do it the way my mom did, you have to have a husband who is willing to do half the work.
I saw the headline and thought this had something to do with the Jane Fonda backing Hillary thingy
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
I really should be watching MTV! But I'm a political junkie.
Whatever happened to "The Rules"?
But if women really can have it all, then why bother looking for a husband now? Why not wait till you're forty?
Yeah, me too. At least some confrontation with Whoopi....
you just keep following politics and get your friends to turn off the tv
