"What women dont allow, men wont do! Men behave badly when women accept it.....or in a nut shell..."The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world"..."

Bingo! A more simple truth was never spoken, so why is it so blessed difficult for these intellectual malcontents to grasp that fact.

I dont see the vast majority of the leftists as knowingly being anti-American...What I usually encounter is an inability to separate their idealism from common-sense reality...When confronted with actual real or theoretical scenarios, especially when it pertains to them personally, they "reluctantly" but invariable pick what is in their own best interest...from there, if they're open-minded at all, its a bit easier to take them on the trail to "enlightened self interest"....Liberals quickly become conservative thinkers when personally confronted with stark reality...it never happens the other way around...

But, she can get what she wants out of him - the garbage out to the curb or dinner and a movie...    ...he might feel moved to bring the trashcans in from the curb.

Honestly, men never do anything because they're just too lazy.  Here women work all day to pay the family's bills, --the woman is even forced to pay for everything if he decides to shack up with someone else and sponge off the child support.

why is it so blessed difficult for these intellectual malcontents to grasp that fact.<<<<....because they are still spending their "intellectual capital" on self gratifying idealism....When they move on to reality and complete their "intellectual equation"....They become conservative!....Been there done that!...*L*...as was attributed to Churchill, but was never said by him....In youth,(idealism) if you're not liberal you have no heart...In old age,(reality) if you're not conservative you have no brain!!!

I don't mean this to sound like bragging, so please bear with me. It is definitely not. Complaining yes.

I am a single guy, good looking (so I am told), 44 but look 34 (genes), and make $120k per year. That said, I've found that American women are nuts. Either they don't want to accept me as I am, and so nag, or they want me to go to church, and nag. Same thing. Or they want to sprout babies right away, get fat, and then nag.

And I am supposed to want this? NFW.

I hear from single women all the time that they can't meet "the right man."

Usually I don't say anything, but in my head I think: (You have your career, and your goals, and that is cool. But you want a man to come in, and basically adapt to you? Sure, there are pansies that will do that, but you want a real man. So he burps and farts, and goes out with the guys, and won't touch the vacuum, and you want to change him. Or maybe you don't mind vacuuming, but he won't convert to your church, and go with you on Sunday, so you want to change him.

Good points.

Compromise, it's a two-way street and growing better together is sweet.
