They don’t realize that the only group you can shame fordeciding not to date or have sex, are straight men.
How can women get utility and resources from men if the men won’t date and have sex with the women?
I am so glad I met my husband when I did.
Strong, smart, godly, handsome, honest, hardworking...best of all, he didn’t realize how amazing he was just being him. Others didn’t see it, but I did. He was the one I saved myself for.
Surprisingly, he thought I was the catch. My looks drew him in, but my brains kept him there.
It really helped that we had our own hobbies and interests, we had our own complementary strengths, and we respected each other’s alone time. Thirty four years later, we are still in love.
Too many young women want a wallet with a man attached while personally bringing nothing to the party. There are lots of great guys out there; they are too stupid to see them. Their loss. Buy a cat and die alone.
All I know it that they literally lived up to their name. Any woman looking for a husband should probably steer clear of the men who sign up for Bumble’s services.
I’m glad for both of you.
Good for you guys!
I think it’s true that “It takes a mighty good husband to be better than none.”
I looked it up.Oddly enough Bumble claims it's not a 'hookup' app but its users focused on marriage - so their mockery of sexually inactive women makes even less sense. Perhaps its users lied because they didn't want acquaintances looking through the app to see them advertising themselves for hookups? And then they use the app for hookups privately?
https://bumble.com/the-buzz/survey-results-show-users-are-over-hookups
“Fast Company reported that the “backlash was swift” and social media users accused Bumble of using language that “invalidated women’s sexual autonomy, the experiences of asexual people, and restrictions on reproductive rights.” “
Oh brother! These people are insufferable.
In fact, they would have garnered copious praise from "progressives," "leftists," and "feminists."
At the same time, traditional Christians would probably have ignored them (as a "lost cause anyway").
A "win-win" situation for Bumble.
But, as John Belushi was wont to say: No-ooo! No!
They had to go and (very slightly) mock their target audience - which is entirely devoid of humor (at least, when it comes to self-deprecation).
Regards,
So you're saying that the option of no husband would be better than the option of "only moderately good husband?!" That if, faced with only those two alternatives, women should choose spinsterhood and childlessness - i.e., self-extinction?
Is that what you are saying?
Regards,
I didn’t make it up — just something I saw on a greeting card once. But I agree.
“Mighty good” doesn’t mean great, excellent, or perfect. Mighty good is the best you can hope for; anything less is worse than spinsterhood and childlessness. Anything better is gravy.
Yeah... I’ll just take any ol’ husband, no matter how mean and nasty he is, as long as he can impregnate me, and so I don’t have to live alone. That’s some great plan. No husband definitely would be better, IMO. Others, I’m sure, feel differently, and that’s an option for them. Free will.
And I decided in the ‘70s that I didn’t want kids, so a “childlessness” argument doesn’t touch me.
You are making an "Appeal to Extremes" ("...any ol’ husband, no matter how mean and nasty he is, as long as he can impregnate me..."); it was certainly never suggested that women should marry "mean and nasty" men.
You are also "Moving the Goal Posts" ("...“Mighty good” doesn’t mean great, excellent, or perfect. Mighty good is the best you can hope for...").
Any reasonable FReeper would agree that, generally speaking, "mighty good" means "above average." Perhaps in some vernaculars (like in the South, where hyperbolic courtesy is popular), it might mean "adequate."
To be satisfied only with "the best you can hope for" is a recipe for failure in life.
Regards,
My daughter and her fiancé just sent a letter to the Christian dating site that matched them.
The letter was angry. They both had put in a 100-mile radius for the search. The match put them together even though they live over 200 miles apart. They upbraided the agency for making such a huge mistake and making such a perfect match.
The women who founded Bumble likely have an enormous body count.
I've never heard of it before this post. I don't do social media apps.
I have no idea as I sit here and post this from the cell in my Convent.
Send me a map to your convent and I will break you out and we'll have a wild week of drunken debauchery. I'll make sure to catch you up for lost time.
, “What if the billboard gave men tips on how to be less awful?”
Be a straight regular guy, and be dismissed as desirable. That’s less awful?
A regular guy has to be lower HIS standards to navigate a path in today’s dating world. With little chance of success in finding a life partner spouse.
want a wallet with a man attached
Sadly describing my longtime spouse’s evolution. On the list of things she finds important, at the bottom, I’m even paying for the cats. Wasn’t always this way.
When i die, i will get to stop working. If i could hear the next phrase after my passing, I’m certain it will be, “Well that’s inconvenient.”
While the world has gone to online and viral advertising, Bumble is chasing women of the streets on the actual streets.
option of no husband would be better
Divorced professional daughter seems to have made that lonely choice. Has a good dog thst she hikes/camps with, but the cat died. (The ex was a masshole liberal that could have grown up but didn’t have a work ethic. “Obamacare should be free”.)
It is a website that facilitates people copulating with random strangers.
