I’ve learned to just walk away
Only took me 50 years
I’m actually soft
Exist to take care of my woman and of course spawn etc
Ennneagram number two in spades
But I’m intense a Scorpio
It’s complicated
Women like some pushback more than a pushover
No question of that
These are horrible times between the sexes especially post boomers where contrary to conventional wisdom most women are still traditional and feminine
We’ve upended and demonized all of gender related human history except the last eye blink and replaced it with destruction sans solutions or we’ve allowed it to happen
I have three masculine responsible southern boys
It’s extremely difficult and so different than my 67-87 girls preoccupation decades
Despite the relaxation of mores then it seems quaint now
I try to advise
They view me as too pliant and a prisoner of their moms extraordinary comeliness
It’s just like we fear from watching on media and the internet
Not that the demasculinization of middle class up white boys and obsession with media and games distraction hasn’t happened either
My boys are like Vikings compared to urban private school prepsters
You figure it out let me know
They will meet a girl online
Court her more or less weeks and get so excited and plan etc
At last minute girl gets cool or ghosts
Half the time
Or she says let’s get a room and you bring weed within an hour online
And no church girls only take a little longer
I can’t imagine
When they get ghosted after all the trouble my wife who is a sleuth is so furious she wants to dox and humiliate them online
I have to restrain her persuasively
And this is primarily how kids communicate trust me
Pretty girls rule this stuff their inbox and hits are always overflowing
So you better look like Pitt et al or flash success unattainable for most young men this side of Dubai
Wardaddy - you lead a most interesting life.
This breaks my ❤️ for young people today. They don’t have the mystery, the giddiness, or the wonderful dating like we had. I’m so very thankful we had no social media back in the day. The thrill of spin the bottle, slow dancing, taking time to get to know someone.....that electric, chemical thrill.
I don’t blame your wife one but for wanting to do that!
