There is no one here pushing a good men/bad woman meme. This is about rejecting the current entrenched societal meme that is totally shunted towards women good/men bad.

American Woman Lyrics - Guess Who

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don’t come a hangin’ around my door
I don’t want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin’ old with you
Now woman, I said stay away
American woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don’t come a knockin’ around my door
Don’t want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come a hangin’ around my door
Don’t want to see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away now go, go, go
I’m gonna leave you woman
Gonna leave you woman
Bye-bye bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
You’re no good for me
I’m no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I’m gonna do
You know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go
You know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go-o, woman
I’m gonna leave you woman
Goodbye American woman

>>>And what would your reaction be about women who complained that men don’t talk about what kind of asset they would be for a woman?<<<

I hear women complain that there are no good men left. I guess that fits. My reaction is that they should have settled for Mr. Good Enough when they were in their early 20s. You know, at the height of their youth, beauty and fertility.

>>>Can’t have any of that women standing up for herself stuff, eh?<<<

There came a point in my previous marriage where my marriage was just tense, 100% of the time. My ex was always arguing and wanting to talk about this or that. What she really wanted was for me to just do whatever she wanted her way. Or, even odder imo, was to not even have an opinion she didn’t like.

Arguing all the time is exhausting. There’s a limit to standing up for yourself and becoming bitchy. I think way to many women have crossed that line.

Those profiles show women that are inherently in constant competition with men. Whether they know it or not. You are going to be in a constant competition with these women. That’s not long-term relationship gold. It’s the death knell.

“Women in the 60-80s seem so refined, and polished.”

Yep. today they look like beer bellied truckers or gutter sluts.

I know looks and physical appearance are an asset, but, I’ll tell you what, Mr. America, take a good hard look as the average American men around you and see what WE have to choose from.

And I’m sure there are many foreign women who would LOVE the opportunity to get tied into an American man and American citizenship as a result.

I’ve been divorced over 25 years. I am trying not to jump back into anything.

So many of these feminists will grow old and be on their death beds and realize no one gives a rat’s ass about them. They won’t have a husband, children, grandchildren, etc. There will be no family. They’ll die lonely old miserable hags.

THAT IS NOT TRUE.

You can get married in the USA without the state. In a church. But you do eventually need a marriage license or you can’t get married.

HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT A DIVORCE, you have to go through the courts. You cannot avoid it, government forces you to do this. You cannot sidestep government to get divorced.

Why? Because government (courts, court appointed experts) and the lawyers make over 50 BILLION DOLLARS off divorcing people/families every year.

You can get married in ten minutes in Vegas and government has nothing to do with it. Yet you want a divorce, government steps in, raids your assets, and often encourages the spouses animosity through a protracted legal battle, and usually screws the guy because of its massive paternalistic/pro-woman pro-hypergamy foundation.

That is an incredibly bizarre circumstance that one would think would only occur in a movie.

How does one put that toothpaste back in the tube?

We’re not losers and we’re not stupid, unlike someone who thinks they can convince a Kool-Aid survivor to drink the Kool-Aid again.

Sorry, no dice. Try another flavor of Kool-Aid. I’m not drinking tuna-flavored Kool-Aid again; its hazardous to my health.

And if there is a God, tell him to take all the woman away and give me the extra rib back.

A famous feminist once said “Women need a man, like a fish needs a bicycle.”

My response to that is “And a man needs a woman, like a fish needs a hook.”

See you hit on a key point. Argumentative.

Too many women, everything no matter how small, is a debate. An argument. This is the crap that drives men away. Everything is a battle. They just can’t help themselves. They butt into the chores and work that are the man’s purvue. He is the head of the house. If they want to be the head of the house, they need to be single and they can be in charge of their own house.

Women are the MAN’s help-mete. Not the other way round. God made woman for man as a help-mete. Not to be duelling captains. Look how well two captains work. It works so well, we send out every ship with two captains. Our two presidents system is a model for all countries everywhere. And what do we say about the Roman Cathlic Churches Two Popes?

in case you didn’t get the sarcasm, ... the above is sarcasm.

When they find out these foreign brides are H1B visa holders it will come to a screaming stop.
