Most men just want a woman who's nice
Fox News ^ | 05/11/2017 | Suzanne Venker

At the end of the day, most men just want a woman who’s nice. “Nice,” to a man, means being soft, gentle and kind. It means asking your husband how his day was and really listening. It means doing something nice for him with no expectation of getting something in return—you know, the way you did when you were dating. But wait a minute, you say. Don’t women want the same thing? A man who’s nice? Not exactly. Most women do want a man who’s kind, but that’s not the same as nice. Ask any guy you know, and he’ll likely give you example after example of women they know who said they wanted a nice guy but in reality wanted a bad boy. That’s because just as most men are attracted to femininity, or softness, most women are attracted to masculinity. And masculinity is hard. Gruff. Take charge. So, where are you on the nice scale? If you’re not an inherently nice person, believe me I get it. I think I’m pretty nice, but that isn’t the first word one would think of to describe me. The truth is, I’ve had to exercise my nice muscle. Now Playing Author shares marriage advice for 'alpha females' Never autoplay videos I’ve had to learn how to be be nice. A lot of women think they’re nice because they act nice. But acting nice and being nice are two different things. Being nice means you think of others before you think about yourself. (And yes, there’s such thing as being too nice and putting your needs last; but I’m not talking about that.) It means you’re attune to the needs of others and incorporate those needs into the equation. Most husbands have no desire to lord over their wives....

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.

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

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.

I’m a 59-year-old lifelong bachelor.

Long before anyone coined the terms “Red Pill” or “Men Going Their Own Way,” that was how I was living.

By my early 30s, I had already seen more than enough seemingly decent guys get dragged into family court, robbed of half their assets, and alienated from their children.

Being a rational man, I asked myself: “Would I risk the fruits of my life’s work on an investment that was 50 percent guaranteed to fail?”

So, here I am, alone — with about 5,000 books to keep me company. I may be alone, but I never get lonely.

Freedom comes at a price. Pay it willingly.

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.

The RED PILL documentary also worth a look.

I hear you. Just consider that the 50% number is not as accurate given there are plenty of people that remarry, often more than once, and get divorced multiple times. Plenty of serial divorcers that skew that number that way.

But yeah, given men make decisions largely by logic and women make decisions largely by emotion, what rational man who really knows what faces men today in society w/r/t women, would ever logically conclude to voluntarily get married?

Yup. I was just mentioning books.

The Red Pill is a definite watch.

Divorce Corp. is also a must documentary to see. The Family Court racket rakes in over 50 billion a year from families.

“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.” :)

This is what is called hypergamy. Every woman does this.

This behavior you note is called alpha f##ks/beta bucks.

You can google any of these terms and get a huge amount of info.
