Fred gets down right prehistoric here.

He's too correct to be comfortable.

Licentiousness increases. This has been the long term trend in America since at least 1830. This will lead to tyranny, tyranny to a more Spartan morality (I hope!)

[CanadianLibertarian]

Fred is RIGHT ON. I'm a Canadian, foreign descent, dated and experienced women from India, Mideast, Britain, Europe and America. Young American women are absolutely in a state of deep hatred of young American (white) males. It is more than a "Chip", it is mass psychosis. Let me give you one small example. Watch Temptation Island; watch the attitude and negativity of the women. Now watch Temptation Island UK - the Brit version. Note how relaxed, cheerful and trusting the females are of the males and vice versa. It's quite an eye -opener!

[Cicero]

Feminism has created terrible problems, no doubt about it. No one should want to marry a diesel-dyke.

But men who think they want nice, docile, self-effacing wives should think again. Not too many such women exist, even in other countries or in earlier times. And if they did exist, they'd get pretty boring after a while.

He sounds as bitter and paranoid as Susan. I smell a possible love match in the making.

This is the most courageous and accurate article I've read in a long while, and I love to read. The author's words are chilingly true - most American women are unfriendly, selfish, rude man-haters. Most American marriages end in divorce, and most divorces are filed by women. And they do get the house, the kids, and the man's money. Then they move on to another man. Women don't believe the "man-hating" label because they enjoy sex with men, thinking this means they must like them. Young American women are shallow, restless and angry. And young American men are equally shallow and clueless, thinking that the cheaper and easier their "significant others" are, the more fortunate they are. Bravo, for an insightful, accurate and refreshing article. You'll be scalded by all the angry, embittered women out there, as I will be for agreeing with you. But who really gives a damn? ;o) Regards!

I have watched too many of my friends marriages go down the tubes and while it takes both parties to make the mess. The woman is most likely to be the one who "leaves", no matter what amends are made. I put leaves in quotes because she will actually stay but the guy will be removed although she ran out on the marriage.

I refuse to get married. I am now completely convinced there is not a woman out there that is worth my time or effort, at least not in the states.

This is good advice, if your are single and male stay single. it will be less headaches down the road.

For the record, Susan Reimer is an extremely liberal, PC, proNARAL mother of teenagers, who writes a column for the Baltimore Sun.

In three days I'm going to get on an airplane and fly to Ukraine, to search for my future wife.
This article reaffirms my reasons for making this trip.
Guys, if you're single, and decent marriage material, you've got to go to Russia. The women there are everything you could want.

I know that my experience with American women has made adopt the motto, "I hate people in general, and women in particular."

[NoNewTaleToTell]

I'm 29 and pretty financially successfull, townhouse paid for, etc. I would never, ever, even consider marrying an American woman. Period. Know too many friends that ended up w/nothing but an apartment and some old furniture and the wife gets the kids and the rest. Screw that.

Some of these women Fred Reed complains about should be sent on a cultural exchange to the Middle East as wives for the local men.

Six months there will give them a new-found appreciation for the men at home.

Any thoughts on the protection a pre-nup provides? Do these things hold up in divorce court?

"Other than a 29-inch waist and a full head of hair, there isn't much to recommend the twentysomething male…He is living an extended adolescence -- an adult-olescence -- and every immature, irresponsible, self-absorbed thing he does is reinforced by the latest issue of his favorite men's magazine."

Well, if she's speaking about the typical run-of-the-mill American "yoot" today -- well, Susan's absolutely right. Today's average 20-something American lad is a clod, a heel, a loser. Reimer may be a b@ll-busting b*tch, but she's basically right.

My one venture into married life had me paired with a partner who was nothing like what was described, above. But this being-single thing is actually pretty cool. I plan to expatriate sometime soon and enjoy life in another culture. I might go to three or four places before my days are done.
