Why Women Are Rejecting “Perfect” Men

Now if he actually liked men, shame on you for not knowing that before getting married

Not every woman is promiscuous enough to rate men on some sort of libidinous scale. Or is this another failing of women, that they should know these things yet somehow have character and decency? I don't think he figured it out until later, by which time I just wanted to salvage my life.

Yes, I've seen men get cleaned out. But, it varies by state. Make no assumptions...

People should STILL TRY to get married but unfortunately with many contractual precautions. I got married using the ancient and classic Jewish marriage contract called a “Ketuba”. It represents a major commitment both corporal and spiritual and is binding...something this “Peter Pan” never wanting to grow up generation even examines...

[Nepeta]

Well, I would have to ask who caused the problems for divorce?

1-He ran up major debts
2-He stopped bathing routinely
3-He started spending several nights a week doing role-playing games
4-We lived out in the sticks. I could bring home 30 bags of groceries, and he sit there and sip his coffee manfully while I unloaded the car.
5-He was a walking source of ignition. He had to be watched carefully lest he set the house on fire.
6-He drank. A lot. Every evening.

This doesn't sound like feminism run wild, does it?

[Nepeta]

So frankly, women SHOULD consider a career/job a priority and keep it no matter what.

Even if you marry a decent one who is pure of heart and adores you and your children, your life falls apart when he falls through an open manhole if you do not have a decent job. Never assume anyone will take care of you.

American women arrogant, pushy, loud, obnoxious, angry, and vengeful.....

Yes, many of them are. I work with a couple of them too. One even vocally takes pride in being a b***h. She’s hard to be around 5 days a week but management puts up (and makes us put up) with it because she’s good in her position (which they say is hard to fill.)

I was told by a different loud, obnoxious (though not mean or overtly arrogant) female co-worker my “problem” is that I’m “quiet and humble” which others view as weakness. I’m thinking “What are we, in junior high still?”

[Deagle]

Well, it does sound like you caught a bad one! In my case though...

1. She ran up major debts
2. She went to bars every night while I watched our son
3. She bedded every male she met at the bars.
4. She took trips to Vegas to meet with her boyfriend

Sounds like feminism to me. Yes, I caught a bad one and probably should have known better. This happened after 8 years of marriage with no problems that I knew about - mid life crisis on her part was my guess.

I guess it depends on way too many things to keep generalizing. Anyway, not all situations are so easy to classify, with that I agree!

despoused after 30 yrs. no infidelity either side. initiated by her.
mainly caused by stress when our business got taken out in ‘08.
she gof the house with no mortgage and a bunch of $, essentially all of
our assets. i also assumed 100% of the business debt. she went back to work in nursing. i got the opportunity to do a total restart with zero $ at age 56. best thing that ever happened to me. seven years later every penny of debt paid off, business great, doing it my way with no joint decisions.
will have to work till early 70’s before i retire but its ok. new boat being deluvered in spring. paid cash. lmao.

Women are losing control of this game because men are refusing marriage.
****************************
There is some of that.

However, in a certain culture in the US it’s the women that refuse marriage, because they get paid taxpayers’ money for every kid they have.

That’s the second posting on this thread that has used the term “manscape”. .....What the hell does that mean?

Most men today don't want their wives to be homemakers raising the children. They expect their wives to provide a second income.

It is a double edge sword. If you have children, one income rarely provides for a family, at least not comfortably or in a safe area. Yet, If you have children, it can be damn inconvenient to not have one caregiver without another job.

That is really not feminism. All that could have easily happened in the 1940's or 50's

Yup...I know lots of young guys who plan on never getting married...they see the few who have and the unbelievable crap they have to put with is scaring them off...

Not to be too graphic, but young women today think because they have a vagina they can control their married man by threat and not love...

Pop out a baby with your women and try and do the right thing by making her an honest woman, you give up your life...threats of divorce and forever child support...

In many cases babies have become weapons of control...

After all, the feminist taught them men are rapists and pigs...

It means you have given up your god given manhood by shaving your body hair to conform to your female mates perfect idea of a girlfriend with a penis...

Men just aren’t interested anymore in risking all for a one-sided, contentious relationship.

That's the truth! I can do bad all by myself. I don't need any help.

[nonliberal]

men dutifully followed women into the new millennium

And therein lies the problem. It's the wussification of our society.

[urbanpovertylawcenter]

Women want to be in a working marriage. Why must a marriage work? Who first conjoined the terms marriage and work?

Probably some female editrix hag at Cosmopolitan Magazine.

[sten]

if you're a man, the last thing you want to marry is a liberal woman. it'll be a nonstop stream of crazy batsh*t drama

problem is, only 24% of american women are conservative or republican and the 33% self identifying as 'independent' would be a crap shoot ( source )

keep in mind guys... American women make up only 5% of the women on the planet. as a bonus, the vast majority of women outside the US don't look like rosie o'donell or shamu, actually like being feminine, and really do like men.

I disagree entirely. This guy hit on something in the article and didn't even realize it. When "steve" was instructed to go to a baby shower, he refused and said he was going golfing. He did what HE wanted to do. A man's desire is not to please a woman, as the pussified assclown who wrote this article says.

A man's desire is to be a MAN. Being a male in today's society is nearly criminal. Men are not withdrawing from marriage and higher education because we "feel" that we aren't good enough. It's because we KNOW we are too good to subordinate our lives, goals and ambitions to some insufferable feminist bitch.

LOVE Rational Male. Been reading it for a while now.
