For years American males have been hammered, picked apart, neutered, and metro sexualized. Turn about is more than fair play.

You want a woman, look at her mother. (under normal circumstances.) Women, look at his dad.

Perfect post...works 98% of the time.

Erm, so, you like you dates to be non-conversational drinking binges and/or 'orgies' ? While that was a blast when I was in college, a meaningful relationship is achieved through intellectual challenge and compatibility on that level.

[JamesP81]

also the women many times misrepresent themselves when they are dating and when it comes time to be a wife and Mother they revert to their selfish feminist brain and run full speed ahead into the work environment.

This is why many men do not want to commit, because you really don't know what you're getting. Women are so good at misrepresentation (that's a kind term, BTW) these days that you really can never truly trust them. Your only choices are to take a gamble on one being honest about who she is or just stay single. Thanks feminazis.

dang, where were you rousing me??? i missed it!!! ; )

[Gordongekko909]

Good thing I'm in my third year of law school, then. ^_^

I just wish that my mom's friends would stop throwing their daughters at me. I mean, I'm just walking down the street, and it's like, "INCOMING!" And next thing I know, I'm calling an ambulance for yet another poor girl whose mother trebuchet'd her at me, and who hit the ground and rolled for a few yards as a result. That sort of thing just isn't safe.

I'm in my mid-20s and I'm perfectly willing to just that. Problem is, I haven't been out of school long enough to be making enough money just yet. The ladies will probably have to wait. My present salary is *very* meager, and that's just for me.

You make a good point. I think the sad part today is the BS thinking that a person needs to be financially set to get married. In the old days many men married decent women that knew they were starting out together poor and were fine with that. It wasn't about money and security it was about love, commitment, building something larger then themselves together over time.

The poor times of our lives can be the most lovely, resourceful, creative, and rewarding in a relationship.

The world sells a world of goods when they say we should have money. Plenty of people that don't have a lot are very happy. I hope you don't let the money thing stop you. You are a gentleman for wanting to provide, may God reward you with a beautiful, lovely-hearted wife who will honor you and God as well.

Day care is horrible for kids.

[xsmommy]

ahhhh, yes... i feel sufficiently roused to slice open a bag of salad for you for dinner. or perhaps you're in the mood for dry cereal tonight [we're out of milk...] ; )

[VOA]

I figure that by the time I'm forty and rich, there will still be
plenty of divorcees and manipulative twentysomethings for me to date.

Let me help you there!
It's "manipulable" twentysomethings you'll be wanting as
part of your target market!

Maybe not as many babes as in the manipulative sector, but a heck of
a lot cheaper!

PS: I checked Websters Ninth Collegiate Dictionary to be sure.

[staytrue]

Get a housekeeper who also can take care of the kids.

More jobs for illegal aliens ?

[thoughtomator]

I think you're the first person to hit on the key element here... the economy is no longer geared to a single-breadwinner family, but rather to a two-earner family. Thus if the man alone works, he'd better have a damned good income to support a family at modern middle-class standards.

i was changing into my bellydancing outfit while i put a roast in the oven and did an egg wash for the homemade rolls that are rising : )

[EQAndyBuzz]

Both of mine were in day care. If you bring them home from day care and spend the time with them they turn out ok.

My two are fine thank god. When they came home from day care we spent time deprogramming them.

[bella1]

Was just trying to get a rise outta xs.

She hasn't responded yet, so she must be dead or something.


She's probably out shopping with her $500 :)

[farlander]

ROFL! That's a pretty good analogy.

Ya know, when you're a sucessfull up an coming and confident guy, those things are bound to happen.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"More jobs for illegal aliens ?"

Mine was legal, she got a W2 and we paid through the teeth for her services. But that was our choice.

[what's up]

Love her and not yourself and she'll respect you.

The law of the universe.

Somewhat true, but the wife is less likely to be hit upside the head with a guilt trip about not "contributing".
