here’s what’s real: We never needed you to be perfect. We needed you to be with us. Not above. Not muted. Not masked. Just with.

And then after the Women set the hook, reel in and land the Men in the boat is when the Women really start to WANT THE MEN TO CHANGE INTO WHAT THE Women WANT !!!

Just let Us Men continue to be Men...

The drama, sense of entitlement and unrealistic expectations ("make them happy" when they're not already happy themselves) are what did it for me.

Long term lady friend and I tried moving in together after we'd dated for five years successfully. It didn't work out. I felt like I was under so much scrutiny and stress from her that I just couldn't take it.

So one day when she decided she wanted to win an argument despite being demonstrably wrong, she decided to use one of my vulnerabilities against me to "shut me up" and win the argument.

Thankfully the only things I'd moved to her house were clothes, toiletries, my personal computer and my work laptop along with a stand-up desk.

All of which was out of her home and in my truck within an hour and I left without saying a word while she sat crying, realizing what she'd done.

There's no amount of apologizing that can be done to recover from that. When I got back home later that evening and walked into my home, the first words that exited my mouth were "thank God that's over!"

I still thank God that's over. No desire to try again at this point either and it's been almost a year now since leaving her.

Ask Bill Belichick if he cares what you think. Does he look like he cares?

No. But he still looks like a fool.

[FLT-bird]

No. But he still looks like a fool.

He may look like a fool to you but he doubtless doesn't care what you think. He appears to be happy. Two consenting adults..........

Fine. Keep blaming the feminists for what men do to each other. I know it's easy to blame others for your problems, but whose fault is it that men are so whipped that they won't even defend their own sons against a school system that openly abuses them? Did your fathers defend you?

I know that the bad women are taking advantage of the openly rigged system, but if men are too whipped to stop allowing bad women to take advantage of them, that's their fault.

Men fall in love. Women fall in opportunity.

When my church lady friend wanted to set me up with a date, I had two questions—Is he a Trump fan? Does he like dogs? The answers to both questions were yes. We are married now.

Congratulations! That’s pretty neat!

but if men are too whipped to stop allowing bad women to take advantage of them, that's their fault.

That's blaming the victim. Try that on a woman.

Let's stop the lie that it's women who are taking advantage of men. It's also men who are taking advantage of other men from behind an entire government and legal system.

“it’s women who are taking advantage of men.”

A rash generalization. I had to start my life over because a conMAN took advantage of me and took every penny.

“it’s women who are taking advantage of men.”

A rash generalization.

My comment was "Let's stop the lie that it's women who are taking advantage of men."

You took away "it's women who are taking advantage of men".

It's tradition for many on Free Republic to comment without reading the article, but to reply to a comment without reading the comment is something new.

We are in agreement about feminism.

I was referring to desirability.

Fact: Old men are NOT desirable, no matter how wealthy.
