I can’t tell you how many younger women I know who have the token bastard just to get into the “dependent” class; it turns out to be the only child they have, and they take full advantage of it (housing subsidies, welfare, food stamps, tuition breaks, you name it).

This is so sad.

Sad but true; these are a mutually exclusive group from the women ranting about men unwilling to marry. These creatures CAN’T marry (no freebies), and a year or two after the birth of the moneymaker they’re usually no longer with the baby-daddy in any relationship at all (except the child support/garnishment arrangements).

Anyone with sons had best warn them of this type of skank (”sperm chasers”).

“The ones that are not married are perfectly happy to be single. They don’t feel the need to have a man, they can take care of themselves. Some of the men of FR are a perfect example of why.”

I understand; my poor wife has to get into her car to go to her part-time job after taking the kids to school. She has to trudge down a freshly shoveled & salted sidewalk/driveway, into her cleaned-off/scraped car (much newer & nicer than mine) that has previously been warmed up for her, and head off to the sweatshop for her 3.5 hour day.

The horror...

“in the animal world only a select few macho animals (alpha males) get to mate with the female of the species...”

Today any male can mate (especially as he ages and his female counterparts are pondering their lonely futures); he’s just got to be careful about preventing an unplanned child. The whining and wringing of hands is extremely one-sided, which really makes it clear where the problem is (or at least which side views it as a problem at all).

“Please don’t give up on American girls. My sweet girls need someone to marry one day.”

It’s you people that make it tough for us American-woman bashers. We know you’re out there, BREAKING YOUR NECK to raise girls that are, basically, what men dream of when they think of foreign brides.

My only thoughts are that there will still be good guys around that are open to Americans...but that it’s a very tough road for your girls - to convince an American guy they are something beyond a sex object.

Probably the first step in doing that is to project they are something to be valued, and make life a bit challenging for the guys that want them. Also, they have to project solid conservative values. My wife, from halfway around the world, makes me look like a patsy, even if my postings here are as right-wing as they come. So the girls need to shoot guns, they need to talk that language, they need to understand the Constitution, and they need to be on the conservative side of dozens of issues - and they also need to make it clear that they will not tolerate men that mess around.

...at that point, they just might find decent people - providing they don’t wait until they’re 34 to start looking.

That’s the best that I can do.

“My daughter pointed out that it’s the “young” ones, 40 and under, who are divorced. Most of the older ones are still married.”

In my area it seems that if they are 70 or older they are still married, between 40 and 65 they are divorced, and below 40 they can’t pay anyone enough to marry them. I stopped going to lunch with co-workers from my area when I realized that with the exception of a couple of foreign women they were all divorced; I got sick of hearing them tell pet stories in human terms.

"Good gravy it is the best fun of marriage."

That it is! It's an expression of love far beyond the physical - which the unmarried can hardly understand or experience.

Frankly, I think it comes down to what my dear departed Daddy used to say about young men, even in the 70’s, early in the ‘Sexual Revolution’. “Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?” It’s even more true now, 40 years on.

Or to use an old adage- why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?

LOL! I didn't see that you'd written that, before I posted it, too. I can remember my Daddy saying that, when reading or hearing about feminists and their notions of sexual freedom.

We know lots of young men are being raised with similar values. I know it isn’t hopeless. It just saddens me that the feminazis have turned men against us. They think my life as a stay at home mom is slavery. I see it as freedom. I am highly opinionated and give my hubby a run for his money. He wouldn’t want me any other way. But there is nowhere I’d rather be than at home for him and my babies! I feel bad for the way men are treated in this country. There is no respect. I owe my husband, father and the other men in my life my respect because first of all they deserve it and second of all God commands it! It saddens me to hear the stories of men that have been cursed at for opening doors. I want to be treated like a lady but how do men tell the difference between me and the feminazis. We all suffer. Sorry for the rant. This whole thread makes me sad!

A high ranking diplomat I knew, who was stationed in Vatican for many years, and knew intimately people near the top of the hierarchy there, told me that he had learned from them, confidentially of course, that there is no marriage in heaven, but that there is in hell.

Rush has the parody sound clip of “We’re Fierce! We’re Feminists! And We’re In Your Face!” under ‘EIB Updates and PSAs” you can download and play.

They should change the name of this website to “Free Republic of Women-Haters, Except for Our Much Younger Second Filipino Wives.”

Ah, yes. Jealousy of the women from the East.

Maybe if US women would step up their game, they wouldn't end up alone and butt-hurt.

Losing weight would help, too.

Yes but, you could have made it clear to her that you weren’t concerned for her, you were worried about the dog. That should have made her happy!

And anyway, if these women are perfectly happy to be without a man, good for them! They are pretty much beyond child bearing anyway. What they should do though, is find single men in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s and steer them to young fertile females who will do what God put them on the Earth for. They need to bear children and love and obey the man who fathered them.

Rather Pollyanna view of things in my estimation. I have more than a few friends who got married and their wives dumped them and then made their lives living hells over visitation with the kids and child support. A father has zero rights in court where just about everything is stacked against him in favor of the ex-spouse.

Every time I thought about marriage, I'd see the horrendous penalty suffered by the guys who got it wrong and were indentured servants to a vengeful ex-spouse. Also, American women are, for the most part, self-centered and immature. They think the world should kiss their butts. Foreign women absolutely adore American men — some in deference to their own men — but both foreign sexes agree that American women are the pits [but for different reasons].

“Men (covertly) have pushed “Feminism” to make satisfying their sexual needs much easier than ever.”

Men have pushed feminism because it’s no fun to be the Provider in the family. I mean... it’s really, really hard! Feminism has made it possible, even admirable, for men to avoid one of their fundamental responsibilities.

1 Timothy 5:8: “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”

I know; I was just playing with the use of the word “dog” (she was the “dog”).
