This is a great article.

The women this person speaks of are looking for someone whom they consider to be appreciably more of “everything” the women already believe themselves to be, thinking that they deserve some romantic vision of an ideal man.

In the meantime, they’ve squandered themselves by sleeping around with men they couldn’t keep, for some reason.

These women are what I was having to choose among, until I met the woman for me—in another country.

We are now happily married. She’s a fine person— intelligent, attractive, decent, and kind. She never slept around (nor did I).

The women of the article are so into themselves, that they can’t see their actual worth to a decent man has essentially shot down to near zero.

But, that is life when you pattern yourself after the “Sex and the City” lifestyle.

Believe me, guys in their 20s have discovered they can get laid without the hassles and obligations of marriage.

Guys in their teens know that too. But guys in their 20's are not so set in their ways and cynical as guys in their 30's and 40's

People get happily married all the time. This war of the sexes stuff gets old.

Picky, nasty, selfish people aren’t going to find happiness in life, let alone find a mate.

I have two grown daughters and a grown son. All of them settled down with wonderful people while in their twenties. I have a grandson now. My middle daughter even got herself a rich and handsome guy. He’s as good as they come.

I’m a boomer, and I’ve been married to the same spectacular lady for thirty one years. The greatest joy in life is to put my hand in hers at night and drift off to sleep.

I don’t doubt that there are miserable people out there. I wouldn’t want to enter the dating market today either. But it all starts with what shows up in the mirror. And I don’t mean the physical.

I beg to differ. I would say that most women do demand something of men, and that is a better paycheck then theirs.

If they were looking for character, you’d tend to find that in a solid church setting.

the expensive gold wristwatch, imported leather shoes, the always-ready table at trendy downtown hotspots

I don't think I'd even recognize those things. I'm so out of it!

My big excitement today was buying some ribbon to fix up a dress I got at the Salvation Army store :-).

I’m talking about girls who give away to anyone, anytime, for absolutely nothing! They don’t respect themselves, why would they imagine that any man would respect THEM?

Sweet! I got a nice thrill myself from a $10 Goodwill suit a couple of weeks ago.

Hi Timm,

Not to worry. That was an overstatement. I was just trying to get a rise out of some of the old timers here.

Not ALL guys sound bitter. There are a few though. You just can’t be bitter about being dumped ten years ago. Michelle Obama is still bitter because she wasn’t homecoming queen or something when she was at Princeton. It’s very unattractive and a guarantee to be dumped again.

HOWEVER - I will be on the lookout for your future bitter comments on Wimmin Are Evil threads! LOL

I have raised my young women well and they tell me that there are no young men available who have any plans for a future with a woman that lasts beyond the next morning. They are both beautiful and waiting for a beloved.

Of course not. If you were dumped, that means she at least gave you a chance in the beginning.

No, we are bitter because she turned us down every time we asked her out. :)

Not to change the focus of the thread, but I think Michelle is bitter because they have to 'campaign' for this White House thing. It should rightfully, in my estimation of Michelle, be just 'handed' to them. Traipasing thru the backwaters of Ohio, puleeeze...she didn't go to Princeton for that.

LOL!
Nothing new

(I think we’ve had it here at least 209584 times ;)

And yes, I have one and it doesn’t me a tramp....it does mean I’ll have lots of good stories to tell about why I have it when I’m 90.

You don’t sound very bitter to me. We need to add you to the Wimmin R Evil thread. Laz too.

I probably mentioned this to you before (we seem to wind up on these same threads alot...) but I have a dear friend who got her first tattoo at 50 (to celebrate her birthday). Its a rose (her mom was named Rose so it has double meaning). She added a small bud and some leaves for 55. For sixty she says she will get the trellis :)
