“Just look at the post I am replying to, the woman is desperate to blame men... for something, anything. And this is on FreeRepublic nonetheless:
You are certainly bitter, so bitter you did not notice that I laid blame on both genders—it is a matter of human frailty and the goodies dangled in front of both by the ubiquitous entertainment industry to entice releasing values, faith, integrity and traditional commitment have taken a predictable toll.
I know single mothers put Obama in office, I am horrified at their absurd ignorance, but they are the very products of the culture that also is spawning men that will not commit, go out for their kicks and harden their hearts. It is a two headed hydra.
Chasing down “meaning”—whether on a Harley or by getting breast implants or having a baby as a fashion accessory—is a mirage.
From what I have discovered along my checkered path is that meaning comes from commitment to God, relationships, hard work and understanding that working for something/goal/love/faith —and delaying gratification—is far sweeter and more nourishing than the instant variety that must be fed like cocaine.
Don’t harden your heart, we need more light warriors, not “I’m only in for myself” cynics. You’re just 28, you haven’t met every woman in the world——their are some gems out there, stay open but be willing to pay the price in focus, sacrifice and commitment—just as she should and you’ll reap the rewards.
This culture needs strong, good men of integrity as it has never before.
Appearances can be deceiving. You want to know what a bitter person looks like? Talk to a divorced man. While women will only consider what I said to be ‘bitter’ and all, men will view it very differently and wonder how I became so smart.
Women have absolutely no idea what it is to be a man. They think they do, which makes the ignorance worse.
Do you know why men are spending fortunes on cars or whatever in order to impress women? It is because THEY ARE CONDITIONED TO. Does Pavlov ring a bell? Throughout a man’s life, he is being subtly conditioned to work for women, to believe women are ‘expensive’, and that happiness can only come through a ‘woman’.
There is a reason why there is a coordinated attack on men who live happily without women such as monks and priests. There is considerable literature, from Aristotle to Shakespeare to all the poets and philosophers regarding man’s happiness regarding women.
Look at what the Book of Proverbs and Saint Paul says about men regarding women.
Men are conditioned to think all happiness comes from women, that semi-nude women are draped on everything from selling cars to toilet paper.
Men are also conditioned to think that manly pursuits, such as learning knowledge, is considered ‘nerdy’ or ‘dorky’. Is James Madison a dork? What about Isaac Newton? No, it is only ‘dorky’ because it does not benefit women in some way.
You cannot blame men for doing things they have been programmed to do. I cannot blame young men for wanting to die for their country because they have been programmed to do so. I try to step in and bring some light to young men when they are acting like fools doing everything they can to ‘get’ a woman. It is not hormones that are controlling them but a type of programming that has been going on their entire lives, a type of expectation.
An example would be the high school prom which is nothing but ‘practice’ for marriage.
As for the often accusation of ‘bitterness’ when a man says anything that might be considered of negative light to women, I want you to consider this:
At any work place, find the married man and find the bachelor. You will find the married man constantly tired, sitting at his desk as if there is an immense weight on his shoulders. You will find the bachelor, however, with a spring in his step and often a couple of babes around him.
