Being one of those divorced women who got the kids, I think I agree with you guys. I don't blame a lot of young men these days. The women seem ditzy if you ask me. I have met some of them through my two sons and whoa -- I don't like what I see. Also they are pretty liberal as well, against guns, and believe we have to help the children. They all seem to have careers and believe they can take care of themselves.

When I got my divorce many years ago it was because of my husband's serious gambling problem. We parted friends and worked everything out --kids, house, money-- before we went to a lawyer. Nowadays that would never happen.

But there are many men that may not beat their wives or gamble or drink but they just plain ignore them. They never carry on a conversation --preferring to watch tv. That will drive more women away then all the rest. Gosh men could probably have an affair every week if they would just treat their wives 1/2 as good as they would a mistress.

I have a question for all of you married men -- what did your wife wear yesterday? How attentive are you?

That's one of them thar biological difference thingies. It would never occur to most men that anyone would consider noticing what they wore a form of "attentiveness."

If you had a big enough lie detector, you could probably get 99% of married men to admit that they have lost track of their wives in a grocery store and suddenly realized they they do not know what she has on that day.

We process only enough visual information to determine that that thing moving around over there is not a threat. What it has on, or whether it just got a haircut, is not something we need to know. So we don't.

I get that same impression too that a lot of women out there are ditzy liberals too and I wouldn't waste my time dating them. I know there are level-minded women out there but it seems like they are few and far between or there is so much noise out there that they get covered up where I don't see them.
