You'd rather buy one from Russia?

I'd rather get one from Colombia myself.

Life is more than a funny feeling, you mustn't forget that women have a narrow window to work in. Most women from my youth that possessed the attitude that you advocate, are now sitting around the local meat rack looking for love, embittered old crones.

WOW ! Well said and I concur completely with your post.

Having been married to the closest thing to " perfect " , for almost 36 years, I missed out on being hornswoggled by lefty garbage. I have a daughter, though, and it's because of the way her father and I brought her up, that she wasn't taken in by today's ridiculous culture and is an intelligent, well educated, happily married Conservative. And no, it was NOT easy for her to find a " good " man , but she did. She knew exactly the type of person she wanted to marry ( she would ask prospective dates, when she was single, what their politics was and if they were Dems, she wouldn't go out with them ! )and was fortunate to find the " RIGHT " one for her.

BTW, to the single guys reading this, my daughter is a fantastic cook, Conservative, interesting, and a lot of fun. This type of girl DOES exist; you just have to be worthy of them.:-)

Your very statement proves the article true. Why would you say that a woman who is accomplished is "in competition with you"?

I just read the book "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge. It's excellent. He talks about this very subject. Men not knowing how to be men anymore....they either are violent or passive but nothing inbetween.

Women want to be pursued but the men are too passive to do that now. Men still want to be the hero but they lack the guts to do it anymore.

Ask any man and one of his favorite movies is "Braveheart"....and let me tell you....every woman dreams of a guy with kahonas like that.....

If that was true I would have found Miss Right 15 years ago.

The feminist generation was the most superficial, shallow bunch of women to come around for a long time and now as they age they are paying for it and so are the men.

[sonserae]

Men have been raised to think that their manhood is based on being the financial provider. It's always been this way, but all the other stuff like being the protector, gentleman, etc...have gone by the wayside. Since many women already provide financially for themselves, they fail to see anything more a man can offer since he is no longer a gentleman or a protector. He usually is more of a burden than a positive. Since his masculinity is connected with his paycheck, he also feels worthless in the relationship if the woman makes more than him. This is all so stupid and frustrating. Women want a man who has something more to offer BESIDES a paycheck...Good women that is.....The Bravehearts of the world no longer exist.....a man who will protect and pursue their love...and who will risk his life to do so. This is the biggest turn on for women. The men out there that I've met lately are little boys in their 30s who fold at every little thing in the day...they pout and complain and act like a child if things don't go their way. A good woman looks at this "Man" and wonders what's in it for her? Who will protect her when a REAL crisis happens? This boy is too busy pouting to save his fair maiden.

If' J-Ho and Af-fag have class, then I'm a friggin' aristocrat.

J-ho is a dog who is going to have nice "saddlebags" in a few year, when she is doing "straight to video."

[sonserae]

When you talk about "feminists" you aren't speaking about most of the women who are successful in the workplace. The "feminists" were a bunch of lesbian men haters that didn't want a man anyway. Women can't win for losing now. If they sit on the couch and expect a man to take care of them and be their sugar daddy they are condemned. If a woman works hard at being the best she can be despite not meeting Mr. Right, she's branded a "feminist and a witch with a b"....All the woman I know including me who are successful in their careers would have gladly welcomed a good man who is strong, confident, etc...and doesn't have to control someone in an unhealthy way to feel like he's a man....but he celebrates the fact that he is with a woman who is fully expressed....and she celebrates him as well.

From the posts here, whenever a topic such as this thread's is posted, you've hit the nail on the head and then some ! What a bunch of juvenile, pouting, unattractive guys whinge on them. What woman, in her right mind, wants someone like them ?

Women want to be treated well, but they also need a man who can talk with them, pursue them ( as a gentelman ! ), and protect them.

This country has completely lost the culture, that engenders good marriages. Even most supposed young Conservaties don't sound like Conservatives; not on FR, anyway. Forget their inability to find Miss " RIGHT "; they wouldn't know what to do with her, if she were right in freont of them !

[snowstorm12]

J. Lo laughs all the way to the bank with comments like those. If she get's any saddlebags all she needs to do is get plastic surgery.

I think Ben Affleck is very caring and compasionate towards women. He is a democrat but the democrat men have women flocking to them from everywhere because they are very concerned about womens situations and they also sweet, understanding and love women. Every woman from all over the United States love to date liberal men because they don't have this sexist attitude that is common like many men on free republic.

Thank you....I really am writing a book on this subject. This is a terrible problem....what has happened over history is the men have stopped "coming through". Their loss of integrity, broken promises, etc, have caused women to find their life on their own. Men have been raised to "compete" and when they see someone who makes more money or is more successful in business,etc, and when he is with a woman like this, his competition game begins. Unfortunately, the woman's head is spinning. She doesn't know why the man suddenly feels the urge to put her down and control her in an unhealthy way just so he feels okay about himself. Her motivation for this is survival and security....Since he doesn't protect her anymore, she has to protect herself. His unhealthy insecurity causes her to not trust him more and her inability to mistrust the man, causes him to not want to be close to the woman. Do you see the vicious cycle?

[sonserae]

Sorry, it's late....I had a few grammatical and spelling errors....

I meant to say that her inability to TRUST the man, causes the man to not want to bond with the woman....because the man wants to be "needed".

[nopardons]

You've just GOT to be kidding; either that, or you're VERY young, naive, ill informed, delusional, and/or a disruptor.

Most Dem men are none of the things, that you claim they are, and Conservative women are NOT " flocking " to them. In point of fact, my daughter wouldn't even go out with a Dem/Liberal man, even if he was handsome, wealthy, and God's answer to a maiden's dreams. Neither would her Conservative girl friends.

Where in the world are you ? You don't sound like an American. Neither do you know what you're talking about, dear.

[John Lenin]

The viscious cycle is created when the sexes try to switch roles. Just be feminine and let the man be masculine. It's not about dominance and submission it's about being who you really are.

[sonserae]

That's easier said than done dear. I'm very feminine...look at my pic if you wish....but men aren't masculine anymore. They are either violent or passive nothing inbetween. If they want to show their masculinity now-a-days, they will throw a tantrum and starts screaming and yelling. I'm not joking!!! Los Angeles is screwed up.

[gratefulwharffratt]

Women want to be pursued but the men are too passive to do that now. Men still want to be the hero but they lack the guts to do it anymore.

You are a vivid reminder of why I am no longer willing to even get into a committed dating relationship anymore.

Unlike the other male posters on this thread, I have no trouble getting dates or meeting decent women. In fact, they want to be in love with you after about a half-dozen dates. I DO have trouble though, getting them to believe me when I say that I do NOT want to be in a serious committed relationship. (For some reason, they think they can persuade me to change my mind by putting on the full-court press, which only makes me have to stop seeing them altogether)

Thanks for reminding me why I don't want to be in that situation.

I give up....My typing ability is dropping here at 1:00 am...my typos are making me ill.

[nopardons]

Yes, points well taken. You have also managed to leave out a few. Add to that, that so many people have been spoiled, never having had to live through a major war nor " hard times ", selfish, don't have very much, if anything to talk about ( my daughter called them " empty suits " ... the guys who only talked about themselves, work, and / or sports ), and don't have any, what used to be called " social graces ". Today's young men do NOT know how to court and woo a woman. Forget woo ... they don't even know how to date !

When my daughter was single, I used to joke about opening a school to teach her age group how to date. Well, I was only 1/2 joking. It seems as though the guys on FR ( and some women too ) could use my expertise. LOL

Good luck with the book !

[sonserae]

If you are happy to be alone the rest of your life, that is great. No need for complaining then....God Bless you....
