Something tells me these broads are being too picky.

Or are uglier than all get out.

I guess it never occurred top Ms Dowd that to attract someone, you have to be attractive (and not repulsive, like she is).

I am sure Clinton can oblige them all someday.

He would definitely like a shot at doing so.

If a woman can't get a man, it probably isn't her IQ that is turning the men off.

That's nice...blame the victim. Typical Chauvinist. :)

I had a reply all typed up to your 152 that was pulled... I agree the site was not appropriate to this forum, but I hate to waste the comment I had all prepared! So - regarding your post about www.americanwomensuck.com

Is this really helping?

You know what guys like you are? Everything you say you hate hate about Maureen Dowd. Bitter, arrogant, pessimistic, and whiny, blaming the opposite sex for everything that's wrong with your relationships.

Equal and opposite. And just as unattractive on a man as it is on a woman.

Truth is, most women, like most men, are just out there trying to find happiness and love in this life, some are better at it than others, some are a little screwed up in how they approach it... but there's hope in them... I hate to see stuff like the bile that's on that website. Lists of things wrong with women.... Well, you know, those are traits that both men and women can suffer from. And the act of rattling them off to complain about "American Women" as a type makes you guilty of at least the first four. :~D

And a tip to those who think happiness is to be found in some foreign bride from a submissive culture... That lady doesn't want what American men have.... she wants what American Women have. Think about that :~D

I owned three businesses in two cities and managed them while being married. My husband wasn't intimidated, he was jealous, so he quit his job as VP of a large bank and came to work at one of my Credit Bureaus. I did everything I could to make the jackass feel secure. I even moved out of my office and let him have it so he could feel like the boss. Then it went to his head and he started bragging around town that it was his business and the gold diggers came out of the wood works. Mr. big shot cheated, I divorced him, he lost his job, and now he is working in a gas station. LOL!

I'm going to church this Sunday for the first time in 5 years. Regularly for the first time in 13 years. I now thank God for my singleness; he knew what he was doing in not letting me get stuck with someone like me.

The Man has a plan, give it a chance!

Matthew 20:16: "So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

Dowd as a nun? I think God would throw in the towel and say, "I don't have to take this crap, I quit. Get someone else for the job."

Perfectly in keeping with r-K continuum, as described by J. P. Rushton. You might be taking it to the extreme, though: such super-K behavior is for those with IQ>180.

I guess so... it is of course a play on the old quote "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."

Thanks to the "women's movement," women are now behaving like the fantasies of the most selfish, irresponsible men. Why should men make a commitment, when there is an endless supply of willing, promiscuous women, who'll even pick up the bill sometimes? Why buy the cow, when the milk is free?

Women have become stupider than ever, while patting themselves on the back for being so "smart."

"And a tip to those who think happiness is to be found in some foreign bride from a submissive culture... That lady doesn't want what American men have.... she wants what American Women have. Think about that"

I had a feeling somebody would bring that up.

Some years back (more than 10, I think), National Review did a special feature on why so many American men are marrying Asian women. Florence King and two men wrote long articles, as I recall. (Darn, I wish I'd had a scanner back then. If anybody saved that issue, fax it to me and I'll scan it it.)

Firstly, this "submissive" business is a complete myth. Long before there was a "women's shelter" in Japan, there was a battered husband's shelter for men who were afraid to go home.

And talk to somebody about how "submissive" Korean women are some time. The reason there are so few poisonous snakes in Korea is that they bit Korean women and died.

Asian women, by and large, are strong. Hard as nails. They may humor their husbands in public, but they're not fooling anybody -- except, apparently, American women.

No, the reason American men marry Asian women is seen in the article that started this thread: because the alternative is marrying women like that.

12. If I have to accompany you to the opera or ballet, you have to accompany me to a hockey game.

I like that my wife doesn't want to go to sporting events or fishing or hunting.

If she insists I attend an Opera with her, fine but I don't want her getting involved in my man activities.

I shall defer you to item number 1 of your list.

Finding an equally intelligent man does not mean that he has to make a bzillion a year. There are some wonderfully intelligent men who are perfectly happy as "blue collar" workers. I'd be very happy with a witty carpenter!

I would take any woman who would appreciate me for who I am and not how much I make.

Someone like what? I saw a letter from some women who were alone past the age they thought they would be and were worried about that. They wanted to know that there was hope.

I didn't marry till I was 36. Believe me, I had many days and months and years that I was worried about the same thing.
