"Cowboys typically never made much, but they were considered uber sexy"

Oh really?

In Hollywood, you mean?

Only 50 IQ apes would believe anything from the Nazi propagandists at the infernal Atlantic.

You’re supposed to put the potato in the front, not the back!

It just shows that a healthy family and a healthy society depends on men being the main bread winner. Enough with promoting “women’s rights.” It is time to affirm the place of men in both the family and in society.

But women did well?

Realty is they are single, as are the women. But they are still baby mommas and daddies.

Women love to find men and change them.

maybe try to change them? I doubt is works very often.

It's all about security ... a steady job, a steady paycheck, a steady life .... everything can be planned and budgeted and life goes on.


I have stated for YEARS that the terrorists have been successful in terrorizing America because we were so afraid of everything.

That fear is what drove America almost out of existence.

Thank God for President Trump.

> New research? Really? This is NEW INFORMATION, that men without money have a harder time getting women??? Because I could have sworn this knowledge had been around for centuries.

My thoughts exactly. They think that its a new discvery that women love men that are financially stable ( have a job) with money to spend on them. This has been going on since the beginning of time.

“Cowboys typically never made much, but they were considered uber sexy.”

Cowboys, with their land and livestock were and are probably the richest. I doubt broke cowbiys, ‘all hat no cattle’, were considered desirable.

There is a spiritual dimension to security as well. Actually the bible pretty squarely points at God for this purpose.

The trouble with a rich society like this one used to be, is that it starts to see its security in its riches, rather than the One who bestowed the riches.

The factory was the first time in history that men were asked to abandon their traditional (And I mean millions of years of tradition) roles as biological men and turn into social men.

Modern society has turned the concept of manhood upside down. You mention the factory. How about the office. And in other aspects of society, it seems like there's an all-out war to feminize men.

Boy I have to say that my son and his girlfriend and their young friends are all marrying, all beginning to reproduce, and all finding lives together.

Most are not factory guys, they all have specialized trades and skills, some common and some not. They are all focused on marriage and family either now or in their future.

George Gilder’s book “Men and Marriage” showed this a long time ago.

“And in other aspects of society, it seems like there’s an all-out war to feminize men.”

Illegalize men, you men.

Everything we did for millions of years to support the entire planet is now illegal. Permits to burn wood, create machines, invent processes and provide hand to the mouth. It’s all gone.

A man’s civilized role has only been around for about 50 years. No wonder so many men are lost - they have only a romanticized picture of what their ancestors used to do day to day - They are now forging new paths right into ravines, rivers and quicksands.

It’s illegal to live as your ancestors.

Yep. Not too many decades ago, men didn’t go to work for some corporation, or sit in some cubical half his entire life working for somebody they don’t even know.

They were hunting, growing food and building their own homes and improving their own lands with their own hands.

This is a whole new world and certainly not for the better in this regard. It’s no surprise most younger men nowadays seem like hyper sensitive feminized wimps.

Jane Austen commented on it a time or two as well.

The result of reckless labor leaders and self-serving globalists... and who suffers — the American family that really doesn’t ask for much.
