A MALE FAIRY TALE Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess,
"Will you marry me?"
The Princess immediately said, "No!"
And the Prince lived happily ever after, and rode motorcycles and dated thin, long-legged, full-breasted women, and hunted and fished and raced cars, and went to titty bars and dated ladies half his age and drank whiskey, beer, and Captain Morgan, and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony, and dated cheerleaders and kept his house and guns, and ate spam and potato chips and beans, and blew enormous farts, and never got cheated on while he was at work, and all his friends and family thought he was friggin' cool as hell, and he had tons of money in the bank, and left the toilet seat up. The End. **********
I’ve been married once, for over 35 years to the same woman, and I think I made the right choice. A couple of years ago, in some annoyance she asked me, “What would you do if something happened to me?” “Throw my sleeping bag on the Harley and point it at New Mexico.”
Question hasn’t come up since. She obviously knew that if she countered, “You haven’t got a Harley.” I would have simply replied, “I would, if something happened to you.”
I still like the life I chose.
I realize that a lot of men have had very bad experiences in modern times. But I think that as a result, a lot of divorced men these days are full of bitterness, and exude that. I’ve seen it ‘exuding’ often on these types of threads.
A sensible woman can sense bitterness and reservation in a man, and runs away from it.
All I’m saying is that if you’ve had a bad experience, you can’t allow it to cloud your future prospects. You have to believe that a good, wonderful woman is out there; expect that she will come into your life; and let go of of the bitterness.
Dwell on what you want; dwell happily and expectantly upon it. Don’t dwell on what you fear.
You sir, are correct !
I too have been married for over 35 years. 37 soon. We’ve had similar conversations. We both agree that we would never get married again. Kids are grown. Why bother.
I might consider your Harley plan. Or perhaps one of the new Polaris Indian Chiefs.
But like you I’m pretty happy with my original choice.
...expect She will come into Your Life!
She will mold You into Her idea
Of “The Perfect Man.”
Minus your Dog...
Minus your Car....
Minus your friends..
Except Your Best Friend whom She will
Do everything with that she couldn’t do WITH and To You.
I ain’t bitter
Hes got friends.
Many old men wish they were alone.
Sometimes being alone is beter than not being alone.
Its called MGTOW. Women are gonna have to get used to it. They are the reason it is occurring and it scares them to death.
Read My
I ain’t bitter above...
And THANKS!
That made me LOL!!!
Yes, the current system is ‘whacked’. It’s a difficult transition that we’re going through, and there have been a lot of casualties.
Unfortunately we have a system now - largely due to political Feminism and the economics of that - that simply doesn’t allow for a one-income family for most people anymore. In most families, the woman is also working outside of the home. Of course she expects the man to help out with the housekeeping and childcare, when she comes home everyday just as tired as the man is.
It’s especially difficult for women in the workplace, because at home they want to be the feminine nurturer - but then they have to wake up in the morning, go out into the world, and fight tooth-and-nail like a man, in the competitive workplace!
Do you know how difficult and exhausting it is to be constantly switching back-and-forth between those modes?
Most women that I’ve known who have husbands, homes, kids, would much rather be at home full-time; but they just can’t. And a lot of men these days DO expect the woman to bring in some money.
We’ve made a mess for ourselves; but there are ways out of it for *Individuals*.
You aren’t tied to what the world is doing, or the way the ‘world’ decides things. Make up your mind what you want, despite the sacrifices that it may entail. Have it clear in your mind, believe in it, see it in your mind, EXPECT it, and have faith.
(This won’t work, if you can’t DECIDE, give up bitterness, and have Faith.)
Whatever works for you, SAM.
I’m going to bed, now.
I’ve been married once, 44 years, to a woman who didn’t want any children but gave me 8. I only wanted 5.
Every aspect of our relationship has gotten better over those years - EVERY one. Yeah, we had some rough years, but got through them and neither of us was unfaithful - tho tempted. We love each other more than ever, and our relationship is one people dream of. I’ll give all the credit to our Lord Jesus, who lives in and through us.
Harleys? Have 3 in my garage. Plus 3 old Triumph’s. Plus our kids bikes - 6 of the 8 ride - and in time I think it will be all 8. We have family rides and the kids always ask me to lead because I know all the good roads - we live in the country not far from VA mountains.
We’re close to all the kids and they all are home for Sunday dinner with grandkids and friends - except for the one in S. Korea. My 5 sons are all men’s men - and love God. 5 of the 8 put themselves through college: 2 Summa Cum Laude, 2 Phi Beta Kappa, 1 - Tau Beta Psi (engineering equivalent of PBK), 2 engineers, 1 w/4 degrees. Others can’t believe how close the kids are to each other.
My wife is the most wonderful and most beautiful woman alive - to me. And they way she shows me love is beyond my dreams. She’s a Proverbs 31 woman.
I’m living the dream. God gets all the credit. Oh - BTW - my folks were married for almost 69 years when my dad died at 93.
You go to hell for unrepentant sin.
This is unrepentant sin.
“Why do you call me ‘Lord’ and do not do as I tell you?’ Jesus in the book of Luke and etc.
Don’t kid yourself. Fornicators go to hell. God said so. Fornication is forgiven if REPENTED OF, not continued and enjoyed.

First I want you to know I’m not making this personal in any way. I made a comment to you that marriage is a farce, as it can be dissolved at the whim of either spouse. But I also pointed out that men do a cost benefit analysis to decide if something makes sense for them. And imho marriage is riskier and the benefits are worse. Thus MGTOW is here and likely to grow.
Here is part of your reply to that: “Its especially difficult for women in the workplace, because at home they want to be the feminine nurturer - but then they have to wake up in the morning, go out into the world, and fight tooth-and-nail like a man, in the competitive workplace!
Do you know how difficult and exhausting it is to be constantly switching back-and-forth between those modes?”
Your reply is typical of a woman. To turn the argument around back to the woman’s point of view. And that is why MGTOW isn’t going away. Women are either incapable of showing men genuine sympathy or just don’t think it’s as important as what is in the best interest of women. I mean, that’s what it seems like to me when I get replies like yours. Men don’t have to put up with a woman arguing with them, competing with them and shaming them for not being the man that they expect. They can be single and use Tinder when they want female companionship. Sinful sure, but it is what it is.
Mothers have an equal amount of sons as daughters. You would think they would want to abolish unfair treatment of men in society. But alas, it usually ends up like your response. Frankly I’m tired of hearing about women’s struggles. Men have been working all along and if we complain, we get called names and are told to man up. Since women fought to enter the workplace, I suggest women, as a gender, woman up. And while I’m ranting, why don’t they want to change laws that are unfair to their sons? Phyllis Schaffley mobilized a ton of women to oppose the ERA amendment. She didn’t want women to be drafted. No significant movement from mothers exist to right the wrongs that have been done to their sons. Yet I’m sure we all know mothers who have limited access to their grandchildren due to a bitter divorce and acrimony from the former daughter in law.
“Women are going to have to get used to it”
Well two of my four kids in their twenties are happily married. So we aren’t gett Ng used to it over here. I raised my kids to honor God and they married young people who were similarly raised.
It’s a sinful world and sometimes people will treat you very badly. The solution is not to dive into wickedness. Not everything in the fairy tale is wicked of course but I speak to the stuff that is.
“Quit yes like men” and don’t indulge your self absorbed fantasies like so.
