are instead prioritizing finding the right partner instead of rushing to hit “outdated” goals.
Interestingly, 1 in 4 men revealed that they’ve actively changed their behavior when dating, becoming more vulnerable and open with people they’re romantically pursuing than ever before. For a quarter of men, this new-found openness has had a positive impact on their mental health, and for 1 in 3, a lack of vulnerability is now a dating deal-breaker.
It works for some in getting women to date - where they’ve consciously decided that is what they should want - but not so much for a long-term relationship.
Modern American woman are taught to whore themselves out to the top 20% of men while they’re in their 20s.
young people are sadly so shallow and petty anymore....no sense of their roles in life...little expectations...
more psychobabble
THAT made me laugh. Don’t forget yoga or is it pilates or spinning this year?
The truth is usually painful to many. Women should have never been allowed to vote but they have company in that too. Landed free males was the right idea in the first place.
Nobody should either sell or buy cats. There are plenty of free ones that need a good home.
Men spend their married lives wishing to hold on to the girl they married and women spend their married lives wishing to change the boy they met.
In the mating game many if not most will do anything or be anyone to win and believe anything to think they have won. When the game is over pretense disappears.
"Wives and Lovers" is an accurate song but there needs to be one for men as well. Women never learn that boys and men do things to win their approval because they so seldom give it. Reward good behavior, punish or ignore bad but don't ignore everything. They are good at that, ignoring. They dang sure know what they don't like though and make that well known. Eventually even the most ambitious and attentive men give up trying though they stupidly do give it another go from time-to-time out of a misplaced nostalgia hoping to capture an old love. This is why man caves, beer, sports. hunting and fishing came about.
It is seldom that anyone is really happy with the deal they made. Instead, they either divorce or accommodate the situation they are in. With luck they are not alone in making that accommodation complete.
They end up soulless and full of hate.
That;s what I mean....WEIRD!! They are with 3 FRIENDS, yet they have to go to their PHONES for entertainment!!
Good point.
“I have never met an old person without kids that was happy.”
I’m 75, without kids (by choice), and am happy.”
” they have no one at all to take care of them or who cares for them.”
You can’t count on children to care for you in old age. Hubby volunteered for Hospice for a few years. The patients often had children living less that 20 miles away and NEVER visited, called, or checked on their parents. SO sad
“Women who forfeit having children often regret it deeply.”
Often. Not always.
“The truth is usually painful to many. Women should have never been allowed to vote but they have company in that too. Landed free males was the right idea in the first place.”
They do have company now, but I suspect most of that is due to the political power of women. But I agree, we should have stuck with land owners, things only go downhill when you open up voting for people who only want to use government to take from others (non land owners) or use government for revenge against others (women).
They have to spend their child raising years getting run through a couple hundred times before they’re ready for kids.
I am glad for you and if your health deteriorates I hope you still feel the same.
