Xer Ping

It’s awfully hard to find “Mr. Right” when you’re tramping it up in bars, drinking like a fish and banging “Mr. Right NOW.” Being a parent means effacing yourself to a degree, and giving up disposable income, instant gratification and a fairly selfish existence. A LOT of the younger generation aren’t up tp the challenge.

On top of this, women are waiting longer to meet the right man to father their children and are simply not prepared to compromise.

Women....compromise? My wife's version of a compromise: "What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine."

FREERIDER ping!

Girls just want to have fun.

It is not the desire to further careers but money worries and the search for Mr Right which are holding women back from having children.

I'll agree to that. Living in Southern California makes having children prohibitively expensive. Since my wife and I are responsible and would not want to burden the tax payers with having to subsidize our children, we have decided to wait until I finish college and get a higher paying job.

I cant say the same for all the other welfare louts out there.

She doesn’t let me forget....but all in all, it’s been a good trade. :-)

[Hoodlum91]

Good for you for being responsible!

Women....compromise? My wife's version of a compromise: "What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine."

I have a pretty sweet deal,
I hand over my entire paycheck.
I do the yard work.
I cook her breakfast in bed.
I shower her with gifts.
I tell her how beautiful she is and how lucky I am to be married to her.....




.... but at control the remote.

Is she a sucker or what?

“..and giving up disposable income, instant gratification and a fairly selfish existence.”

Must suck to be a woman...

[HEY4QDEMS]

but at control the remote should have read: but I control the remote

My feeling is that feminism has created a toxic environment in which women don't know how to behave, men don't know how to behave, no one respects anyone and -- to top it all off -- women think they deserve to win 100% of the time, and are shocked -- SHOCKED! -- when men shrug and just walk away.

No one is winning in this scenario except the folks who want to bring society crashing down so that they can rebuild it along new lines.

When we bought our new house, I had saved up enough money to get a brand new 50 inch plasma TV. I shopped, researched, compared, and finally decided on which brand I would get. I love that TV, want to know the top 5 things that are on during the week?

Dr. Phil
Tyra
The Food Network
The Style Network
American Idol.....

I get it during football season to watch the VOLS. Luckily she's a VOL Alumni, so that works out..

I....am......so.....whipped.

These are the ones a man should aviod. The growing selfishness of women during the past 25 years is asounding.

I cook her breakfast in bed.

Next time try cooking it in the kitchen. ;^)
