Well these young guys are taught by people on both sides of the political spectrum that they are 2nd fiddle to girls.

The left constantly hammers boys that they are oppressors with “male privilege” and that every effort must be made to help girls in school, and everywhere else while boys dont even get recess in a lot of places.

Then on our side you have these hicks that brag about how if a boy comes to date their little princess, then they are going to make sure they see them “polishing their rifle”. Like what is that going to tell a boy? That if that tart gets moody, then her bonehead dad might come after you? She’s protected and he is automatically seen as a problem that needs to be tamed for her “protection”. No one backs up the male.

You can’t love a mate that you don’t respect. Respect has to be learned.

Great article and I would recommend to anyone here who doesn’t usually follow Matt’s writing to do so. Lots of common sense (and Biblical) wisdom. The left can’t stand him.

Generally, women don’t respect men.

Many women want to be treated like minor children.

All toys and fun, no responsibility. Look at the “outrage” of having to pay for their contraception.

Many are begging to become kept objects.

I thought the point of the article is women are being taught that men don’t deserve respect.

If a man says or does anything to demand respect then he’s seen as a whiny baby, as several posts on this thread demonstrate.

"Oh for christs sake, man up. 90% of the time yer wife is prolly right about your ways. Is your marriage 30 years old? Good lord stand up and be a man. Yup you prolly drink to much, yup your prolly an ass and yup your wife is prolly overstated and in control. So get a divorce and good luck with that dating thing. Other than that remember she is the one that must be obeyed until you don't."

FYI

I have been married for 30+ years. I still love my wife very much and don't ever think such thoughts as you presented here. I don't drink hardly any at all. Never did get into drinking a lot after seeing what too much drinking did to both of my grandfathers. My wife does respect me. I guess I got one of the good ones.

“momma ain’t happy, nobody happy”

Which is a BS way to live.

I just ripped my old boss a new one. Five years of abuse and scrappy management from this creep.

Man it felt great.

Put down artists are never good for a relationship.
"Everything you say is stupid and wrong - by definition."
You can break a man's spirit that way. Or a woman's.
How about some honesty.
Praise when praise is due, constructive criticism, when needed. In private please, not in public.
Men can take criticism in large doses, until everything is criticized. Then it becomes useless.
We need positive feedback too or all directions will seem like down and there's no point in trying anymore.
What I said works both ways. Wifey too will cheer up with an attagirl now and then.

Women do need the emotional security blanket of being loved and men need the emotional security blanket of being needed; we both need to be wanted by the other.

Comments posted are interesting too.

Yet he did not even mention,

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. (1 Peter 3:5-6)

Or,

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. (1 Peter 3:7-9)

Without Scripture, this an exhortation without its foundational ethos.

Women don't respect a non-whiny one either.

Then it sounds like YOU have a problem. A man's job is to BE respectable. .that's it. . not to keep track of which woman recognizes it or not. . .I could care less. . .if "women" can't respect men. .that's their problem. .however, I have found that "women" LOVE a confident genuinely respectable man. The guy who wrote this article needs to man-up a bit. . like when he gets his panties all twisted over the clerk who was joking about his motive for buying the flowers. . .hell, she was just being friendly. . .lighten up and play along. . . and then say something like, "no. .not this time. . this time she EARNED these flowers". . .Look. .the truth is. . it is a woman's nature to idolize a truly respectable man. . .a woman is not truly happy until she finds a man she can trust, love and, . . .hell, worship. . .(yea. . I said it. .take a picture of it. . send it to 'em!!)

> Women will never respect a whiny man-baby

Rule # 1 - be a godly man of respect and you will probably be respected. Be strong and honorable and no whining
Rule # 2 - treat her with respect. If you are being disrespected its possible that they may be reflecting back what you are giving them
Rule # 3 - don’t take offense to what they are saying. People say stupid stuff. Some of my comments on this forum prove it.
Rule # 4 - spend time with each other outside the home snd enjoy each ither’s company. Go to church, movies, find a hobby you both like and do it together, take vacations or mini-trips. If you don’t have money there’s always fishing, hiking, or going on picnics. People that enjoy each other’s company are less likely to pick at and be critical of each other.
Rule # 5 - keep yourself attractive. Workout, groom, and dress fashionably (within reason). Some people just let themselves go and then wonder why their mate looks at them differently now.

Just my.02

Interesting, only one LED is lit on the woman panel on the lower right side. Or, maybe it's not lit at all. Maybe it's just a reflection.

The underlying takeaway from this is that NONE of the dials have any function label associated with them. Knobs and dials and nobody even knows what they do and how they work!
