They’ve discovered a food that will reduce the sex drive by at least 90%.
It’s called a ‘wedding cake.’
“It is about finding the right woman and discarding the bad woman.”
No, actually, it’s about deciding that a committment is a committment. There are bad times. People change. If you can accept imperfection, and enjoy the good stuff... it works. (This is assuming 2 people who want to make it work, and have a basic compatiblity).
And being alone sucks.
Any day of the week & all weekend long.
I was married for 19 years, and have been divorced for 20. I have no intention of getting remarried. I’ve discovered that “catch and release” is much more satisying in every respect.
Well in the name of “equal” time:
Prov. 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD.
“The older I get the more I see how downright selfish women can be...especially those who think they’re not.”
I’m in my late 30’s and never been married. Admittedly, I matured late. While in my last relationship I discovered Dave Ramsey, and I tried sitting down with my GF and explain to her what my goals were and that I needed her support in helping me plan ahead for any months events. She almost immediately became standoffish and even somewhat bitter.
It is not as if I was going to not take her out, or not buy her gifts, I just wanted to cut back a bit and try to be more frugal in our decisions. I was even planning a trip for the two of us for when I completed my plan. However, after getting ignored for about a month, I called and broke it off with her. Her feedback was that I chose other things over her.
The funny thing is that I have noticed that since I started working on my plan, I have matured greatly and I now have more disposable income than I thought possible. I look at that relationship as a close call and I have since learned alot about both myself and women in general.
Now, I think I know how to recognize the “princess syndrom,” even in the most disguised package!
Thanks for posting this article.
Then you're asking out the wrong girls. Here are a few tips. Don't ask out a woman who swears. Don't ask out a woman who spends a lot of time putting herself together, i.e. go for the naturally pretty. An observation I've had over the years is that a lot of women who wear a good deal of makeup are either whackos or self absorbed.
Of course, I'm married to the only girl I ever dated so this advice may not be worth much since it doesn't come from experience, just observation. But I will say I managed to marry up. Way up.
‘They should have just said men don’t want to mary a b*tch or a nag.”
They used scared because the cannot use a positive word related to men, thats against the Rueters code of (cough) ethics.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...Women are soft, they smell good and they're nuttier than squirrel poop; every last one of 'em!
For any single man I would recommened Dr. Laura Schlessinger's book, "10 Stupid Things Men do To Mess Up their Lives." Dr. Laura is my hero. She calls it as it is and tells women the things they don't want to hear.
Amen.
Do you see any cause/effect? /sar
I’ve found that you can tell a lot about a girl by what she drinks. The ones who drink beer, wine, or simple booze-and-soda drinks are generally lower maintenance than those who drink cocktails that take ten minutes and nine different ingredients to make.
“Living now with my Doberman, who, while he can be demanding at times, at least does so in a non-verbal way which is much nicer.”
If your dog is at the back door barking to be let in and your wife is at the front door yelling to be let in, which do you let in first? The doby of course! He’ll shut up when you let him in!

Proverbs 12:
4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown,
but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
Proverbs 19:
13 A foolish son is his father’s ruin,
and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
Proverbs 31
Sayings of King Lemuel
1 The sayings of King Lemuel—an oracle [a] his mother taught him:
2 “O my son, O son of my womb,
O son of my vows, [b]
3 do not spend your strength on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 “It is not for kings, O Lemuel—
not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Give beer to those who are perishing,
wine to those who are in anguish;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
10 [c] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.......
Here’s what it all boils down to...women want to feel NEEDED, men want to feel APPRECIATED.
Ah, yes. I forget where I heard it but this saying has stuck with me...
"A woman marries a man expecting he will change and he never does. A man marries a woman expecting her to never change and she always does."
The gist of so many of these threads is that people of both sexes who don't do well in the marriage stakes blame the entire opposite sex instead of considering what their own responsibility, problems, or poor choices may have been.
