Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d earn the ire of a character named Turd Flinging Monkey, the nom de plume of a popular online activist. A leader in the Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) movement, which encourages men to avoid romantic relationships with women, Monkey did not take kindly to my new Prager University video talking up the benefits of marriage for men.
In the video, I noted, among other things, that married men work harder (about 400 more hours), smarter (they’re less likely to quit without having found another job), and more successfully (they make about $16,000 more per year) than their single peers. I described these as features, not bugs, of married life for men.

“the Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) movement, which encourages men to avoid romantic relationships with women”
Translation: Homosexuals.
Even to the point of making it a specialty
Donald Trump won.
Ha ha, you got schlonged.
Males who divorce are learning leftist judges do not for the most part award full custody (nor even 50-50) to the male part of the divorce. It’s full child custody payments (times the # of children) for the majority of their life to come, no matter how vigorously they or their attorneys fight for at least 50% custody. The court system is skewed toward the female no matter her competence or ability to raise the child (or children).
Interesting article of interest to us both!
Shalom!
Simple solution: Don’t get married.
Just hit it with various women.
If you are still going nowhere years after your divorce then yes, you have an issue... however when you literally have everything that is important to you, and control over it undermined and destroyed.... don’t sit there and expect any real man to not have a hard time dealing with it.
The courts sadly are stacked toward the woman and the mother in family court, even though ever bit of evidence shows that children if they must live with only 1 parent do better in life when it is their father not their mother. Guys are not given a fair shake in court at all. Anything a woman claims is assumed to be gospel, and the guy really just has to take it.
My divorce was not horrifically ugly by divorce standards, but the entire process ensured that what could and should have been a sad but reasonably amicable situation was turned into a hateful, drawn out, bitter situations... for no reason at all.
“In the video, I noted, among other things, that married men work harder (about 400 more hours), smarter (they’re less likely to quit without having found another job), and more successfully (they make about $16,000 more per year) than their single peers. I described these as features, not bugs, of married life for men.”
It is true, married men work harder, take far fewer risks such as leaving a job to try something without a firm guarantee ahead, and must earn more. (a wife can go through 16k with horrifying speed.) If you call those “features”.... then lucky you.
!! Internet Post of the Day!
I discovered, while slow dancing at the 8th grade graduation dance, that girls were warm, soft and smelled good.
Thus began a lifetime of misadventures in the world of romance.
Things have changed considerably since I was in the 8th grade.
My Son went to a small, Christian high school. I thought it would more closely replicate my experience in high school than one of the large public high schools would.
The girls in his school were way different from what I remembered high school girls as being.
They were focused on getting ahead. They didn’t see the boys in their class as potential mates. They saw the boys as competitors for recognition and jobs.
No girl in my Son’s class would date a boy from their class. That would distract from their mission. And their mission was to get a scholarship so they could get a good job.
I think a lot of parents of girls are going to know the joy of bouncing their daughter’s checkbook on their knee.
Maybe they just like porn.
I love stories with happy endings! ;-)
I’ve heard from a few younger white males that so many of the girls now days are just so trashy. It’s the younger women that are so often initiating sex. Many of these young women like to hook up with black guys for the sex. They end up having an Obama baby and then have a baby daddy for life. They wonder why no one wants them after living the ho life.
And this isn’t some poor uneducated community I am talking about. I guess so many of them spend too much time watching the Kardashians instead of having a clue.
But most American woman are self-entitled horrid people, with all the backing of the legal and social community.
In general, I would recommend against marrying any of them.
You touch on a trend, in which American men seek women from overseas to be their wives.
These men are intentionally seeking women who have been raised in other cultures, cultures which are more traditional in their outlook and views of marriage and family.
This is a growing trend, from what I hear. Some men are just so turned off by modern American females, yet still want a woman in their lives. So they turn to women from other countries who were not raised in our modern culture, and who have a different view of life.
Fear of commitment to a marriage relationship is due to negative criterial equivalences about relationships, commitments, marriage, and oneself. These criterial equivalences can be changed by searching through one's personal history or the world itself and finding counterexamples which disprove the inductive conclusion. Finding counterexamples turns the default response of "that is just the way marriage is" to the idea that maybe one has some control over one's marriage, and that it is possible to be in a marriage without sacrificing oneself.
A lot more than $16,000 yearly.
Then add in the dead expenses of any children and you’re in deep doo doo financially.
From a purely fiscal point of view marriage and kids are things to run from.
BUT, I can never put a price on the sheer emotional joy and happiness my Patty Ann brought into my life.
Money can’t buy that.
Posted in my National Guard Armory.
The world’s shortest fairly tale:
Once upon a time a man asked a woman to marry him.
The woman said no.
And the man lived happily ever after.
I watched my brother get raped by his ex wife’s lawyer to the tune of 80 grand over 10 years.
And it was her fault for the divorce.
125 grand in gambling debt.
And ya wonder why people love lawyer jokes.
And that’s not mention the scumbag lawyer that stole 8 grand from me.
I promised mr. Jeffery I Klein of oysterbay long island that if I end up with cancer it will kill him too,so he’d better keep praying for my health.
But go ahead and keep making a living off other people’s misery.
This does look like a correlation/causation confusion. The results of the divorce problem fail to speak to the causes of the divorce problem.
Our inquiry should be into the cause of the divorce problem which goes deep and began in earnest around the start of the 20th Century and coincides with a general turning from faith and trust in the God of the Bible and the the Lord Jesus Christ. But in this case, I do believe the coincidental spiritual malaise to also be causal and the cause of the probably single greatest harm to our society and families: women’s rebellion against themselves, their God-given nature, and against men.
The so-called “women’s revolution” AKA “women’s liberation” AKA “women’s suffrage”, is probably our society’s single most destructive phenomenon in our time, leading among other things to infanticide in the slaughter of over 70 million unborn, the full-blown attack on masculinity AND true femininity, women’s full-blown mutiny against submission and obedience to their husbands, antagonism against and competition with men in general, women’s abandonment as keepers of the home as wives and mothers and leading to children who have survived the womb being brought up in day-care centers, the break-up of families, the core unit in society, and increasing sexual confusion in society that we see today.
You can see the power of political correctness here because almost NOBODY talks about this, yet it is maybe the most virulent and malignant disease eating away at our society today.
Satan’s plan today is the same as it was in the beginning - deceive Eve, and Adam will go along with it. Satan’s opportunity came when from hearts lacked ardent trust and faith in God and the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Only God himself can fix this problem. - it is way too big for man to even get close to fixing it.
