I saw this article and am amazed. Apparently this not common knowledge among women. Just a few years ago I was busy trying online dating. And this article really confirms what I saw. I saw women writing profiles that looked to me that they would impress other women. Yapping about one inane thing after another. They would have done better if they wrote a profile showing they would be kind and loving. But they were too busy writing about expensive vacations they like taking (red flag), going on an on about their career (boring) or their education (yawn) maybe they just weren't kind at all.

I gave up on American women after years.

It’s an easy plane ride to find gorgeous, smart, non-medicated, young women in many other countries.

THE MYTH OF MALE POWER

THE MANIPULATED MAN

[Kartographer]

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:26-31 ESV

Stable is always a nice touch to start with.

From what I have seen is that most American women go after bad boys and get banged up. Then they look for a god boy to raise their little tyrant.

It’s a terrible thing that “graciousness” has so dropped out of the culture’s women so as to be “a unicorn” — I blame feminism.

Husband/Wife Store
THE HUSBAND STORE

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband...

On each floor the signs on the doors read:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs.

Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking. “Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework. “Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,261,496,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

THE WIFE STORE

Floor 1 - has wives that love sex.

Floor 2 - has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

“Author shares marriage advice for ‘alpha females’ “

No such thing as alpha females. Impossible.

During my liberal youth, I loved the TV show ThirtySomething. In it, someone told the main character Michael Steadman that he was nice. In response, Michael winced and then mumbled, “’Nice’. That’s the kiss of death.” :)

I have had to remind women in my practice that most men want a partner, not a competitor. Save that "have it all" stuff for your sisters.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

At the end of the day, most men just want a woman who’s nice.

Men want a wife that's nice. Before marriage, they want a woman who's insanely hot. Crazy seems to go with insanely hot, so that's usually part of the package.

[TigerClaws]

This is a good explanation of the game:

[Organic Panic]

No wonder the “youth” and millenials are so confused. Rather then the simple. “Men want a feminine woman, women want a masculine man” there are 60 different “genders,” women who are vulgar and aggressive, men who’ve been doped up when they were boys, whose main lessons of dating have been from MTV and online porn.

I wanted a woman with a kind disposition and a bird with a pleasing voice. Failed on both counts. Still have the bird.

I saw women writing profiles that looked to me that they would impress other women.

Its been awhile since I did that, but I remember the same thing; bragging about how much they liked to travel and how adventurous they were.

[MarineBrat]

I fantasized through 11 years of marriage that just once my wife would come out to the backyard while I was doing yardwork in the hot sun, and tell me what a good job I was doing, and how much she appreciated me, and bring me a cold glass of lemonade. It never happened, but my fantasy persisted for 11 years. I literally thought about it every single time I cut the grass. She is now my ex-wife.

This article is painful to read. Not because it’s wrong.

Because it’s 110% right. It leaves me sad and unhappy.

Is that too much to ask of a life partner ... apparently in America ... Freeport ladies not withstanding

“masculinity is hard. Gruff.” - just the writers opinion. not in any definition I’ve seen of the word.

[right way right]

I’m still looking for a June Cleaver.
I even tell my wife that.
Beavers mom is just so hot!
She laughs...then reminds me that June Cleaver is fiction,
