Also, for the same reason people are hesistant to buy a house that’s been on the market for a long time. Even if the house looks great, you’re going to wonder why it hasn’t sold yet.
Blame no-fault divorce. Around 80% of divorces are filed by the woman. The system is brutally rigged against men. It is a foolish young man who marries in the US. There seem to be fewer and fewer fools.
I don’t know, I’m pretty much a beta guy, or even a gamma. Not an omega, though.
And my wife is fantastic looking. She still gets hit on by 30-somethings, and she’s 62. Of course, she works in a mental hospital.
“And I think that is why a lot of marriages fail. First big argument and it’s over. “
Depends on how the man handles it. The important thing to realize is that most arguments that a man has with women have nothing to do with what the argument supposedly is about*.
*Unless it´s about you having cheated with her best friend, etc. Then it´s really about what it supposedly is about.
**For more on this, see “Sh*t tests”.
My son was recently dumped by a girl who told him he was “too sweet”, “too kind” and she didn’t get any “tingles” when they held hands. (Since he is an honorable young man, he kept the physical relationship at that level, saving the best for the marriage.) He has been walking around the past several weeks like a zombie, wondering what he did/didn’t do to cause such a reaction. When he questioned her about her reasons, she forbade him from talking to her for a month, telling him he’d be over it then. How can a good man be “too kind”?
“I don’t know, I’m pretty much a beta guy, or even a gamma. Not an omega, though.”
I´m curious, what makes you rank yourself so low on the totem pole?
I was assuming they’d experienced profound conversions.
My ex-wife used to have a key chain fob that had that saying on it. Her mother detested me as the main problem (I was an active drunk and very problematic, but not "the problem"). In the 23 years since we went separate ways, she got into some sick and abusive relationships and remains in a sick one now. Her mother has opined that she wishes that her daughter had found someone like me to be paired with (I got sober about the time we split - can't blame her, but it makes a good anecdote). I have now been in a good marriage for 20 years with a woman who was not afraid of the inherent differences between the sexes and whose mothe (Bless her departed and loving soul) loved our relationship.
I have seen very few "feminists" who seem happy deep down where it counts, but have met many women who are happy despite the fact that they are being "oppressed" by letting a man take a manly place in the relationship...

Your son was lucky in that he got reasonably good advice. This is the iron law of female mate choice laid bare - men who are sweet, kind, etc. will tend to actively repel women. Women want strong, manly, assertive men.
Tell your son to be more assertive around women, and less eager to please. He is a man, and should feel free to act like one.
Indeed, he should respect himself more, and his attitude should be that it is the woman who should prove herself worthy of him, not the other way around. That will most likely work wonders, and be some of the most valuable advice he has ever received in his life.
The same as the serpent's promise to Eve: power over Adam. It's hard to see the immediate gratification in being a "helpmeet," and the job description can look pretty grim.
I have two girls I home-educated, (17 and 19 now, sheesh). Both are in their third year at JC planning to fly the nest next year. Both see the type of woman depicted here and shudder, choosing to remain chaste. One has a steady companion (not really a boyfriend), a decent young man studying for medical school. Shen knows what she wants and it's to be a mom (she's a double major in microbiology and civil engineering). The other is too smart and independent for her own good but has a streak of kindness, particularly for animals (wants to train race horses). We'll see.
I’m with you. I don’t agree with some of the reasons, but some of it is spot on. I do have one that so closely resembles what happened to my first 20 year marriage that I have saved it. I am shocked continuously at how many men comment that it is what happened to them. Someone posted it here a long time ago. Here it is:

It is almost like Fred interviewed me before writing that piece.
There's a pretty active wimmin-haters club on here. There was even a guy who had an anonymous website where he sold a book about hating American women--
“I have seen very few “feminists” who seem happy deep down where it counts, but have met many women who are happy despite the fact that they are being “oppressed” by letting a man take a manly place in the relationship... “
Women want the man to take charge, but they will constantly challenge the man´s leadership. If the man meets up to the challenge with confidence and aloofness, the women will be happy with her choice of man.
If the man becomes submissive, or flustered when challenged, the woman will conclude that her man is weak, and she will become unhappy.
Congratulations!
Is that why all the stories (and I do mean ALL) I have read for the last several years about teachers fu**ing their students involve female teachers?
It is as odd as the sudden increase in the average Japanese citizen by several inches in a single generation.
That is, something is going on here.
LOL! Let ‘em experience that up there and convert the heathen in situ, as it were.
The key to understanding male contempt of women or female contempt of men is that it is almost always based in a lack of understanding about the true nature of the opposite sex (usually brought on by popular contemporary delusions about “gender equality”).
Once one understands and accepts the true roles and behaviors of fallen men and women, and their respective strengths and weaknesses, there is little reason to work oneself up over it. Rather, you try to make the best of the world as it is.
Too many people can't count.
It’s hard to be offended by stuff that you think is pathetically risible ... or risibly pathetic, depending on the time of day.
I feel sorry for men with those attitudes, just like I feel sorry for the woman who’s the subject of the article, just because I’d hate to be that kind of person.
