The secret to finding love this year? Date like a man: Be selfish when it comes to sex! Have several suitors on the go! Make him do the legwork!

Are you starting 2023 feeling disheartened by the dating game, or as if your partner doesn’t give you the respect you deserve?

Have you tried to be kind and caring in relationships, only to end up feeling as if you’re constantly taken advantage of? Does each date wear down your selfesteem a little more, leaving you exhausted and unhappy? I suspect many women will answer ‘yes’ to these questions. If you’re one of them, you need to read my story.

I’m no ‘sexpert’ or vastly confident relationship guru, promising easy answers. But I have found a way to truly enjoy dating without feeling crushed by it — and that is by being just a little more selfish in my approach.

I am so sorry to read that.   I really cannot imagine what that would be like.   Every few days my wife will mention how lost I would be without her, with my not even knowing how to pay the bills.   It's just the two of against the World now.   My wife talks with our daughter most days and they are always texting, even though that sometimes gets tedious for my wife.

When memories are triggered now, I hope they are the blessed best as God intended.

The problem is not the players.

It's that before
a) the sexual revolution
b) birth control/the pill
c) no-fault divorce
d) anti-man family court
e) welfare for "heroic sluts single mothers"

women used to be guardians of one another's virtue and chastity.

But now women shame other women unless they are promiscuous.

Nowadays, a western woman defines a whore as "another woman who has slept with two more men than I have."

20This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’ -- Proverbs 30:20

Condolences sir.

Uh-huh...she could capture a small satellite.

If you squint your eyes just right those rolls of fat around her abdomen sort of look like rock hard abs.

[Blue Highway]

Correct. You can see she’s even looking at the wet spot in post #27. Either that or Shamu jumped out of the water.

Yes the secret of love for a woman is to find a man who will either keep her in the life style she ‘deserves’ or in all the drugs she uses - depending on her ambitions.

Rule #1 is always to find out how much he’s worth, how much property he owns, and how great his prospects going forward.

This once upon a time was a strategy for getting good children now it just about her - no children wanted or needed. Or she’s really weird like the woman I saw on TV with 12 kids and wants more - no father in her household.

I went through the dating site routine for a short phase and one day, after so may deceptive profiles with lies about age and photos, I ended my description with; “hopefully you are honest about your age, because I am. Let’s meet somewhere and see if we can find each other simply based upon our profile pictures”.

The number of responses plummeted and I left that game.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (1 Corinthians 6:9)

Not that is a complete list, nor one is saved because they do not engage in such, but because impenitently engaging in sin is contrary to penitent, heart-purifying, regenerating effectual faith, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9) which is imputed for righteousness, (Romans 4:5) and is shown in baptism and following the Lord. (Acts 2:38-47; Jn. 10:27,28)

Either be single and continent, or be married and have children, without contraception but with temperance.

Besides the spiritual cost, see some of the cost of the sexual revolution that at least finally affect all tax payers which has been going for decades:

The United States is expected to spend more than $26 billion annually on HIV. (https://www.healthline.com/health/hiv-aids/facts-statistics-infographic) 

 

CDC estimates indicate about 20 percent of the U.S. population – approximately one in five people in the U.S. – had an STI on any given day in 2018, and STIs acquired that year will cost the American healthcare system nearly $16 billion in healthcare costs alone. (https://www.cdc.gov/std/statistics/prevalence-2020-at-a-glance.htm) 

 

"STIs and their complications amount to about $16 billion annually in direct medical costs. HIV imposes the largest financial burden, costing $12.6 billion in direct medical costs, followed by HPV at $1.7 billion, chlamydia at $156.7 million, gonorrhea at $162.1 million, and syphilis at $39.9 million." (https://cdn.americanprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/STI-brief.pdf) 

"The estimated discounted lifetime cost for persons who become HIV infected at age 35 is $326,500 (60% for antiretroviral medications, 15% for other medications, 25% non-drug costs). [Undiscounted "mean lifetime costs are $597,300 ($4,200)" "Discounted costs are highlighted throughout because they represent economic costs that take into account time preferences of individuals and society and the opportunity cost of funds"] The Lifetime Medical Cost Savings from Preventing HIV in the United States

Costs also can include those for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) [which was] at more than $1,700 for 30 tablets (https://mosaicscience.com/story/hiv-prep-truvada-prevention-sti-std-lgbtqi-gay-condom-pride/).

The cost for  PrEP medication is about  2,000 a month, and which "Most health insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover." (https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/stds-hiv-safer-sex/hiv-aids/prep) For any Medicaid insured HIV-negative adult 18 years of age or older patients, lab testing and prescription medication costs are 100% covered. (https://www.louisianahealthhub.org/teleprep/) 

In 2017, around 61,300 people were actively taking PrEP.

(https://www.avert.org/professionals/hiv-around-world/western-central-europe-north-america/usa) with the rate of PrEP users per 100,000 population in 2018 being 68. (https://aidsvu.org/local-data/united-states)

The Ready, Set, PrEP program makes PrEP medication available at no cost for qualifying recipients who lack prescription drug coverage, and  are tested for HIV with a negative result, and have a prescription for PrEP. (https://www.getyourprep.com/)

EDIT: "the federal government has announced that almost all health insurers must cover the HIV prevention pill, known as PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, with no cost sharing — including for the drug itself and, crucially, for clinic visits and lab tests...This means...Truvada or Descovy, the two approved forms of PrEP, should now be totally free for almost all insured individuals....when taken daily, the tablet reduces men’s risk of contracting the virus from sex with other men by more than 99 percent...PrEP use remains largely limited to white gay and bisexual men...Gilead readily provides PrEP for free to lower-income people who lack health insurance, but the pharmaceutical company does not cover the associated clinic visits and lab tests...Since this spring, Truvada has been available in a generic form with a list price as low as $30 per month. By comparison, Descovy’s list price is currently $1,930 and Truvada’s is $1,842.... (https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-health-and-wellness/prep-hiv-prevention-pill-must-now-totally-free-almost-insurance-plans-rcna1470)

Which raises  raises private insurance rates and or taxes for all who pay them.  

Such are just part of the financial and societal costs  that affect every one to varying degrees due to man disobeying God's program, in which sexual union is only between male and female in marriage. And which provides the stable safe environment for trust and intimacy and for  children which are to result, versus  fornication as well as artificial contraceptives.

Indeed...

[KC_Conspirator]

And in the last 15 years the rates for women in alcoholism and SSRIs have skyrocketed too. This article is dumb and further contributes to the problem.

lolz. This is almost female subterfuge to get rid of her competition with the worst advice.
