Western society is doomed if.....

*********

Things change over eons and will continue. Just look back to
1492 and where are the natives today? Mostly on reservations.
Other civilizations moved in and the process will continue.

Sheryl Sandberg, Fbook CEO, confirming modern day unrestrained hypergamy. -
“When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.”

The Old Social contracts, the old rules and undertandings do not apply to modern women, BUT men are still held to the old social contracts. Why would men consider marraige?

It is much easier for a husband to love his wife when she respects him, and likewise, a wife to respect her husband when he loves her.

The problem is that too many withhold one or the other if their spouse doesn’t hold up their end, and it becomes a downward spiral.

I’ve been paying $22K/yr alimony for over 25 years. Never going down that road again.

For sure-My friend, a confirmed bachelor, said:

‘Marriage? NOT!! Just find a woman you hate and buy her a house.”

Women SHOULD file most of the divorces. A man is just the bad guy if he does it. I was smart enough to let it happen her way. It helps when she has her own money.

Peace orders are normal. the woman usually claims shes afear for her life. She should be, she knows she just pissed off the guy who gave her everything and now she wants to keep everything the guy worked for. The guy will be finding and paying for a new bed and keep paying for her to chase all the strange D she wants and exposing the kids to god knows what kind of perverts. . There are a lot of smash and dash guys out there, a married man cannot chain his wife up.

to fix this, stop treating every divorce like a domestic violence case and stop giving women the bunk of the estate.

She got the Gold mine, i got the shaft. THEY split it right down the middle, and gave her the better half

Many of them have ZERO understanding of MEN even at the most BASIC level psychologically, but expect men to be experts in their crazy....

Men are simple base creatures for the most part, we aren’t hard to figure out, or to get along with.. but when you refuse to accept masculinity at face value, like women have done since the beginning, you wind up creating nothing but drama and resentment all the way around.

Want to be happy? Accept your husband/boyfriend for who and what he is, and who and what he is, is a guy. Pure and simple, treat him right and you’ll be amazed what he will do for you, act like a shrew and a harpie because he doesn’t act like you think he should.... You will both be miserable.

Yes, someone I want to take advice from. /sarc

I get tired of all this “men lose everything” theme. I got divorced from a man who was violent and lazy. He “dropped” me and 2 small boys off in a state 900 miles from home with 2 suitcases and some change in my pocket (he even took my purse). He kept the house, bank account, tools of my employment, 2 vehicles, the boat and camper (all of which I had paid for.) I picked tomatoes for a whole summer to get enough money to return to my original home state to start over again. It took me 2 years to find the son of a gun in order to serve him divorce papers, as he had sold everything and moved in with whomever was his newest girlfriend at the time. The judge granted me nothing, except sole custody. Looking back, I got the best end of the deal.

OK, so I did win. The boys were worth it. Guess you’re right after all.

“Western society is doomed if the comprehensive and politically-protected faggotization of boys and men by crazed lesbianic feminists is not stopped.”

That passively phrased sentence leaves out the most important part.

Stopped by whom?

I'm not afraid of commitment in the least. It only took my bride 15 yrs to get me to say "I do".
(That should be the benchmark for all men today.)

Having recently witnessed friends’ marriage fail because the wife decided she preferred the companionship of her personal trainer, I have done a lot of reading to figure out what went wrong. I know it is anecdotal, but every article explains how a woman’s emotional attachment works and what men need to do to nurture them. I have yet to read and article explaining to women how men look at attachment or that the expectations created by romantic comedies are unreal.

Men aren’t “afraid” of commitment by any means.....why bother with all the headaches when you can be single and still get everything you want without marriage....EVERYTHING!....and the best part is free.

They used to, they dont anymore. You have to eastern europe or asia to find women who still understand men. Just pick up any women's mag or go to the bookstore and see which types of books they are pushing. All real, real bad advice on dating and men. Not a single bit of introspection and solipsism rules the day.

Or was it the little head down there?
