Women dont respect a non-whiny one either.
When you have the entire court and governmental structure set up to be a replacement husband, with all of the power to render a man destitute at her whim, and you have 200 years of stupid dudes, playing the roll of the “white knight” that have treated women as victims and “little darlings” so they can feel like some manly protector, then what do people expect from today’s culture?
And let’s not even get into how feminism, gay culture, and now the omnipresent danger of women lodging fake rape charges have made an environment where lots of men are rightfully afraid.
Many women want to be treated like minor children.
All toys and fun, no responsibility. Look at the “outrage” of having to pay for their contraception.
Many are begging to become kept objects.
Then it sounds like YOU have a problem. A man's job is to BE respectable. .that's it. . not to keep track of which woman recognizes it or not. . .I could care less. . .if "women" can't respect men. .that's their problem. .however, I have found that "women" LOVE a confident genuinely respectable man. The guy who wrote this article needs to man-up a bit. . like when he gets his panties all twisted over the clerk who was joking about his motive for buying the flowers. . .hell, she was just being friendly. . .lighten up and play along. . . and then say something like, "no. .not this time. . this time she EARNED these flowers". . .Look. .the truth is. . it is a woman's nature to idolize a truly respectable man. . .a woman is not truly happy until she finds a man she can trust, love and, . . .hell, worship. . .(yea. . I said it. .take a picture of it. . send it to 'em!!)
