I think it was Rush after his last div orce make the comment on marriage ....Find a woman you hate and buy her a house......at that time he probably meant it, but silly found another one.....
Given today’s society ... unless both partners believe in traditional values the odds for a lasting marriage are pretty dim
The fact is, our culture promotes having fun and easy sex. I waited to get married for a lot longer than my parents did because, frankly it was fun. I have friends who are still single, they just keeping hanging out with younger girls. By late 20s, most girls are ready to settle down. It used to be early 20s or earlier.
Why would most guys be encouraged to settle down when they can live single, get girls, and have a good time? It is a cultural change, and not one that has been good for our nation.
Then the long courtship full of hand holding and brief, discreet kisses. The thrill of praying beside her at Mass, knowing that their souls were uniting, knowing that the reined passions would be released on the wedding night, when they, like two deer maddened by love, would dance in the holy forest under skies crammed with singing stars. A great joy was hidden in their longing. He and Carol discussed it often, murmuring consolations and reminders, waiting together for the sacrament, as love deepened and deepened until it seemed there was no bottom to the reservoir. When the reservoir fountained at last, there was no holding it back; it became a river, became a flood, then spilled into the oceanic cosmos of supernatural love, natural and supernatural flowing together in potent-fertile joy. They drowned in it and were born.http://www.fightingirishthomas.com/2012/02/parable-of-prodigal-papa-michael-d.html
How poor were the tumbled metaphors with which he had sought to express something that was—was everything: the mystery of love. The dance of love. The sea of love. The kingdom of love. The night Jacob was conceived, the night Andrew came into existence. The countless tender moments.
The fire that burned but did not consume, two small flames that filled the whole realm of their covenant, uniting into a single flame that was greater than the sum of its provinces. They had no need for lands, or money, or power. Their bed was consecrated and joy filled; its four posts were the quadrants of the world’s compass, their quilted blankets a domain spreading from horizon to horizon.
Prayer was the atmosphere of their kingdom. Their children were conceived in prayer and born in prayer. Carol had died praying, held in his arms and enfolded in his prayers. Birth and death had been suffused with grace. And because that was true, Alex now reminded himself, even the darkness was enfolded, even the loss and the abandonment, and the falling through the ice of the solid world into the desolation beneath (pgs. 291, 292). --Michael D. O'Brien, The Father's Tale
They should change the name of this website to “Free Republic of Women-Haters, Except for Our Much Younger Second Filipino Wives.”
Go formerly communist-bloc young men.
No apologies to Horace Greeley.
Life is not Hollywood. Women cannot have careers, children, a handsome, wealthy, husband, willing to share housework, raise children, take her out on Saturday night, fund family vacations during the summer, at Christmas and remain cheerful, loving and supportive 24/7.
Likewise, men cannot have the cheerful, smart girl give up everything to cook, clean, and look beautiful 24/7 while he makes his way in the world. The two people have to know one another and share the same goals and religion.
Marriage is work. The feminists and colleges/universities have created empty-headed monsters out of too many younger women.
The hip-hop hood culture has created an unconscionable mess of baby-no-daddy’s mamas, and those men have no marriage intentions. Welfare taxpayer government pays their way.
God is missing from too many homes.
"You get the feeling that too many gringas are coiled like rattlesnakes, looking for slights about which to be enraged."
"The lack of femininity. The word is hard to define, but the quality is impossible to mistake. American women seem to want to be either androgynous horrors or smaller men with the appeal of a truss ad. On the street they dress in those awful Brooks Sisters business suits with the ugly blazers and little shoulder pads. You see them in restaurants, drinking too much and yelling, “He’s a f-----g piece of sh-t,” apparently in the belief that talking like a jock in a rural locker room makes them one of the guys. Some of us don’t want to date one of the guys. We want to date a woman."
"Women are vicious in divorce. Whether they are morally inferior to men can be debated—they don’t fight wars or bomb cities, for example—but in terminating marriages, they are heartless and often sadistic."
Rough estimates:
50% of marriages end in divorce
75% of divorces are initiated by women
From what I have seen, the husband ends up taking most of the blame from friends, family, the courts, even when there are two sides to the story
Over 80% of divorces result in the ex-husband paying “maintenance”, child support, or both
Men rarely get custody of children, even when they want it
Marriage has become too much of a financial and emotional risk for most men.
Once for 4.5 years (too young to know);
Once for 26.5 years. Two grown children, 4 grandchildren.
Finally learned my lesson. I will never do that again. I would much rather be alone than to put up with any of that crap.
Even the seemingly even-keeled women who appear to be team players eventually twist off and go brain-dead.
No, thank you. I'm done.
Go for FOBs (Fresh Off Boat), old-school wives appreciative of a providing husband. So many of today’s younger American women are not keepers.

‘“Where have all the good (meaning marriageable) men gone?” is a question much talked about lately in the secular media, Venker says, but her answer, backed up by statistics, is not to the liking of mainstream commentators influenced by feminism.’
Bonnie Tyler with her song, “Holding Out For A Hero,” asked the same back in the ‘80s.

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream
of what I need
And more recently Paula Cole asked the same with her song, “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?”.

Oh you get me ready in your 56 chevy
Why don’t we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills
CHORUS:
Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie song
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone
I fully agree with the study, American Women are so screwed up, they No Longer believe in being Women, They believe there is no consequences for Sex, They are ALL TOO EASY to bed down, unfortunately for them by the time they get to be my age (50’s) when they start to realize they threw their life away it is too late and most Men don’t want anything to do with them. I married a Women 15 years younger than me that grew up and lived in Austria til she was in her late twenties, she never had her Mind corrupted by Hollywood and the Feminist Movement. Before I Married her 9 years ago, as a 43 yr old man then, the vast majority of women my Age Would and still will drop their pants on Hello, in the hopes of landing a Man to take care of her. Feminism has Destroyed Womens Lives, Hopes, Dreams and Futures as far as I am concerned.
And what is out there now?
Either her brain is filled with misandrist crap from the so called education establishment, or “I just want to party party party and get drunk drunk drunk” (sounds like typical lyrics of a typical pop start “artist” who sings through a computer). And the latter is looking for Mister Sleaze.
When you marry, all you are doing is empowering a judge to destroy you.
Old Hugh Heffner showed us that all women have to be hot and horny. Women’s reaction to this was anger resulting in feminism. Men have reacted to feminism by pulling back from women. Women have reacted to this by pulling back from men. Reminds me of my 8th grade graduation dance with all the guys on one side of the room and all the girls on the opposite side of the room. Forget Hollywood and Madison Avenue. There’s still love and happiness to be found. Quit expecting perfection and 24 hour a day happiness.
95% of the girls/women in the world DID NOT grow up in the United States. That’s what I tell my boys - there are literally BILLIONS of choices out there that will NOT make a sport out of trying to clean you out and run off with your kids.
For American males, the odds are 50/50 on a successful marriage if they marry an American female - but the odds are 90/10 (in their favor), if they marry someone that DID NOT grow up in our messed-up environment.
So my kids are on their own (i.e., wedding costs, and even us being there) if they marry American. If they marry foreign, we’re with them all the way.
And don’t blame us...it is the system that WE HAVE permitted liberals to impose on us.
