A few weeks ago, psychologist Randi Gunther discussed the fact that women still initiate the majority of divorces, even after men dutifully followed women into the new millennium.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. We men learned how to change diapers and cook risotto. We learned to watch for barely perceptible nods of approval before opening doors for women. We even learned to manscape, for goodness sake.
Women were supposed to be happy with the new variety of men. Yet they are divorcing us just like they divorced our insensitive forefathers. Professor Gad Saad reported that American woman initiate 69% of divorces; the most recent British statistic is 72%.
Dr. Gunther, who specializes in repairing relationships, described some of the unhappily divorced men she meets in her office:
“I am currently dealing with several of these great husbands. They are, across the board, respectful, quality, caring, devoted, cherishing, authentic, and supportive guys whose wives have left them for a different kind of man.”
Who is this “different kind of man,” and why do women quit their marriages to pursue him? Dr. Gunther continues:
“The women I have treated who have left their husbands for more ‘masculine’ men believed that their new relationships would be able to both excite and nurture them.”
Clearly, this new stud is virile. He’s exciting. He possesses something that the “perfect” husband does not.
Dr. Gunther didn’t say it, but I will: it sounds as if many of today’s perfect, sensitive, cherishing men are… how shall I put this… boring.
Who can blame women for being bored with men these days? Far too many of us have lost our masculine fortitude. That fortitude has nothing to do with being dominant or avoiding vacuum cleaners. It’s a product of solid values and strong backbones.

Women are losing control of this game because men are refusing marriage.
Is that good for the continuance of our nation? No.
But, it’s syptomatic of the idiocy of three decades or more of gender wars. Men just aren’t interested anymore in risking all for a one-sided, contentious relationship.
Men cannot live up to that fantasy.
“Perfect Men”. Where is this magical place?
Why, it's where the perfect women are, of course.
If your wife doesn’t drive, you will have to drive for her. Be prepared to drive to a lot of shopping malls.
These guys made the mistake of believing women told them what they want when most women don’t seem to even KNOW what they want.
Stop trying to be exactly what you think she wants you to be and start being yourself. While your at it learn how to shoot and conceal carry.
Treat ladies like whores and whores like ladies, the key to success.
Raise your hand if you read the whole article at the link.

Uh huh. I thought so.
While some women are ruining some men’s lives, there are other aspects to look at as well. The libs are pushing for collectivist personalities and it is taking the natural edges off of both men and women. Metrosexual was only the start, it became “anti-male” in grade schools where boys aren’t suposed to be males.
This article discusses that narrow aspect - and is a call for men to be themselves, the best men they can be instead of the most agreeable men they can be. I think the writer had a point.
But someone has to do it.
Now, about my 2 ex-wives....
These women are idiots.
There’s a boatload of crazy and stupid in that photo.
Being the “perfect” man equals doormat. That’s the ugly reality of modern society.
I believe that it is because once a women has “tamed” her man she is looking for a bigger challenge for her feminine wiles.
A department store was opened to sell Husbands. The store had 6 floors.
Now the rule was you could purchase any husband from any floor, but once you went up to another level you could not go back down, but had to exit the store.
A lady entered and the sign on the first floor said ‘men with a job’, but she wondered if there was something better on the next floor, so she went up to the next level which read ‘men with a job and likes kids’.
Even though impressed she though something better might be awaiting her upstairs, so she then went up another level where the sign read ‘men with a job, likes kids and has a romantic streak’.
Now she liked the sound of that, but proceeded to the next level anyway where the sign read ‘men with a job, likes kids, romantic and good looking’.
She was really impressed now but went on to the fifth floor where the sign read ‘men with a job, likes kids, romantic, absolutely gorgeous, and enjoys helping around the home’.
Now this the lady was very impressed with that, but still she went on up to the sixth floor, and there on the sixth floor was a solitary sign which read...
You are the 3,450,701 woman to visit this floor, this demonstrates how women are impossible to please. Thank you for visiting the Husband store. Have a nice day.
Directly across the road from the Husbands store was another department store that sold Wives. And, similar to the Husbands store, this store had 6 floors where you could purchase a Wife on any level, but if you went up a floor you couldn’t go back down and had to exit.
So, a bloke walks into the store and on the first floor reads the following sign: “Women who like sex”.
Impressed the guy goes up to the second floor where he meets a similar sign, but this one reads: “Women who like sex and are rich.”
No man has ever gone to the third floor.
My fellow women can be dumb. I don’t know what they’re thinking.
I have come to the conclusion that the good guys out there have gone into hiding because they’re sick of the crap they’ve been getting from those women.
Sorry, I think that is so retrograde! The actual problem today is that feminists spread the idea that women should be working and have a great career, having great sex every night, be in control of the marriage, and maybe even raising a family - all things.
Men have given up on these ladies (so to speak - one night stands are okay though) and have been looking overseas for women to marry. Yes, they are looking for companionship, family support, and homemaker, while they provide the economic benefits. Not going to happen here in the USA. After all, it is difficult enough to do one or the other but to do both by both parties is really unrealistic and will only be valid for a few years (or a year or so).
It really does take a merging of effort to make a good marriage and it can not take place if both are pursuing the same goals job wise. No family can ever be considered a higher priority. These opposite roles will never become the norm as they go against the DNA of our species.
Yeah, I expect lots of feedback from females even on this site! Have at it :^)!
Ha! Look at the girl’s glasses sliding down her face!
