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. **********
Men Going Their Own Way.
(Sounds kind of lonely.)
Men Going Their Own Way.
Since when is not geting married not an option for people?
You have no idea what mgtow is.
I’m an individual; I don’t really care if some pop notion like MGTOW goes away or not. It doesn’t affect my life, my husband’s life, or our lives together. There are many men on FR who will attest that their wives have genuine sympathy with them.
Your post is full of the very bitterness that I believe is ruining the lives and future prospects of a lot of men who have had difficult experiences.
Good Night!
I read this to my wife. She poopoo’ed it. But I didn’t hear her because I was hooting so loud.
You sound VERY bitter.
Sad.
.
31 years before marriage. 12 years out of mom and dad’s house before settling down . Then 37 and counting, years of mostly happily marriage
Those 12 years was a lifetime in itself. Had I continued along that line I most likely would be dead long ago. It was an equitable trade.
Now... read what you just posted to me, then read my tagline. :-D
The backstory on it is, one Christmas about 25 years ago, I spent Christmas eve with my buddy and his family. His parents got me a tee shirt w/ a guy skiing and that saying under it. They told me, they saw the shirt and instantly thought of me. 1-I love skiing. 2-It's how I approach life.
So...Christmas Day, I'm with my mom's best friend and her family. Virginia is like an aunt to me. Her kids (all adults now) are like my younger brothers and sisters, or cousins. EVERY family event one of them has, I'm invited to.
So, it's Christmas Day and Ellen, the youngest, gives me a present. She's all excited. (More so than usual) and is eager for me to open it. She tells me that when she saw "it", she HAD to get it for me. That it was me.
So, I open it and it's a small wooden plaque...
with the same picture of a guy skiing and the same saying.
These are friends of mine, from two different circles, who have never met each other.
Since getting those gifts, that saying is how I approach life.
I guess it always was.
Now, with even more intention.
Another quick story.
I was on a singles retreat one time.
In the main building, there was a board for people to leave others affirming notes.
So, on the last day, I get 2 notes from separate people.
1- telling me how much fun I had made the weekend, with my enthusiasm and spirit.
2-Telling me how wherever I was at, seems to be the fun/happy place. That I exude enthusiasm and happiness.

I sound bitter? Is that what is sad to you? I think it’s sad that that men have crappy choices.
1) Get married and roll the dice that the one you picked won’t cheat/betray you/give you the I’m not in love with you anymore speech.
2) Live in sin and fornicate.
3) Be celibate.
4) Abandon western women and try to find one abroad.
And if you choose option 1, do you think there are enough quality women who are wife/mother material? I certainly don’t think there are enough quality women for all the men that want to settle down and have a family.
You’re assuming facts not in evidence. You can speak for yourself and maybe your significant other but no one else.
You don’t know what happens behind closed doors. If people are happy together or just put on a happy face around others because they are so economically intertwined they can’t get divorced or don’t want to disappoint the kids/grandkids or a just afraid of being alone.
I learned a long time ago that it’s better to be alone than in a relationship and be unhappy. I learned it first hand and saw it in my own parents relationship. They are together but there’s no love there.
Also, one super important point you missed, is someone can be alone and never be lonely. We aren’t all cut from the same cloth. Some of like the solitary life without the all noise and honey-do’s.
There’s nothing in the Bible to my knowledge that says one must be married to be happy. I can say marriage is one of the leading causes of unhappiness though. It’s great when it does work out though...
Paraphrased: “it’s better for a man to live alone on the roof of his house than to live with a contentious woman”.
>I’d tell my sons to go MGTOW.
Don’t do that. Find them virgin brides to marry.
It’s those happy marriages around us that make us want to be married in the first place. Or in my case second time around.
>>>Don’t do that. Find them virgin brides to marry.<<<
I better start finding them asap!! I have a feeling if my sons wait till 30 it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Sooooooo tempted to do a women’s version, but there’s not enough asbestos underwear in the universe.
I better start finding them asap!! I have a feeling if my sons wait till 30 it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
I don't think your sons' age has anything to do if the girls are virgins.
