Spiting their pretty faces

I did, and I couldn't be happier. He takes care of his mother, loves kids, and dogs make him laugh.

Marriage involves a wife's obedience to her husband. The man must be ruler of his household.

*belch* Where's mah BEER, wo-man?!?

[hotpotato]

Or, to boil it down to the bare essence: They're bigots

Yes, I agree. Kind of reminds one of... Michael Douglas, Hugh Hefner, Larry King, Donald Trump..... that expectation of entitlement. Unfortunately for the successful women, men have to jump through more difficult hoops than just stand there and look gorgeous. But financially successful women, like financially successful men, do demand more.

We're a little overweight. We don't live in the right neighborhood. In short, we're not PERFECT, so they snub their noses at us

Yeah, kind of what a lot of women say about the demands from men. Except now men are adding that they want her to ditch the diploma. So hard to please....

[hotpotato]

It's not the men "ladies" it's you. I'd tell you to get a dog, but I like dogs, better get a cat. Please leave the dogs alone, they are naturally happy animals, sort of like men.

Yes, I see clearly that you are a naturally happy man. How fortunate for you :-).

Are those really the sorts of men women go for? If I were a female, I certainly wouldn't find them attractive. And every one of them seems to have married someone (some multiple times) who was either dumb as a stump, only wanted them for their money, or both. (Well, Ivana's kinda cool...)

Yeah, kind of what a lot of women say about the demands from men.

Hey, I never denied that it works both ways. But the fact is women control the market. The men are the ones that have to do the courting and face constant rejection. All the woman has to do is (figuratively or otherwise) walk into a bar and sit down, and at least she'll get attention, even if she never meets the right guy there.

I certainly don't.

[Timesink]

Remember "Citizen Kane", the movie? He picked money and power over love and family, how happy was he? What was his last thought? His last desire?

A piece of wood.

Well, there's someone for everyone. The female versions of the men I listed would include Joan Collins, Liza Minelli, Liz Taylor, Cher, and so on.... All the woman has to do is (figuratively or otherwise) walk into a bar and sit down, and at least she'll get attention, even if she never meets the right guy there.

? Isn't this about meeting the right person which is not likely going to happen in a bar?

I'm agreeing with you... financially successful people, be they men or women, can have tough standards. Maybe both need to be a lot less restrictive about what they are looking for or be content with being single (which is a place where I think many are and that's fine, too).

[hotpotato]

ROFLMAO!! That was tooo funny!! :-)

[Capitalist Eric]

A "intelligent", "well educated", "confident", "powerful", arrogant, shallow, selfish, materialist, bitch, is still just a bitch, don't ya know?

Well, now you really have asked for the blow-torch!!! But I'm not going to flame you...

Because you're right.

There is a distinct difference between a girl and a woman (a question of physical maturity), as is the difference between a woman and a lady, a question of class and wisdom.

Being well-educated, intelligent and possessing a mid-level management job does NOT elevate one beyond the "dumb-as-a-stump" crowd... What DOES elevate a woman from this crowd, is a sense of wisdom... And with wisdom comes power... NOT force-fed feminism (any more than affirmative action makes an underqualified doctor with a skin-color other than white suddenly MORE qualified to perform brain-surgery).

That women don't see the harm such niave assumptions do them...? Demonstrates their continued stead, within that "dumb-as-a-stump" crowd...

Ugh... And it matters little, how many toads you kiss in that crowd... After you kiss them (either with or without saying "I do" first)...? They'll still be toads...

It's about a p*ss-poor attitude... That's the truth...

[uglybiker]

"I don't believe in premarital kissing! Contraceptives are of the devil! I have lots of ceramic Jesuses!"

Well, as long as the lady doesn't have a room full of those sappy-a** Precious Moments figurines, I think I can handle it.

[Oberon]

So WHY do you think a pre-marital child is BAD?

Because cyborg, like most Freepers, many Americans, and myself, choose not to participate in Oyrish neo-paganism, hg, or espouse the values inherent in it.

All of you single, conservative women who live in the icy, lonely Midwest need to emigrate to California. Despite the state's reputation, there are a lot of single, conservative men who came here to work, but we are surrounded and outnumbered by legions of snippy little Barbara Boxer-wannabes with bizarre voting habits.

Sounds like a good niche for conservative women: go where you have a competitive advantage for your type of guy

[SauronOfMordor]

In the social circles in which I run, however, all the men who are the marrying kind are, well, married.

That's the big problem for 30-something career women. A man who has any interest in being married is likely to have been snatched up before 30. To take advantage of the biggest selection, it seems the best solution is to pick one out in your college years and get married then.

[SauronOfMordor]

FR is child's play compared to what I have to endure at my job... hour long discussions about masturbation... and all that from customers who try to ask me out.

Now you have got me curious: where the HECK do you work?!?

[RaceBannon]

Just read this. From my perspective...

Women that are twice as educated as me, at least as smart, and socially superior scare me.

I would always feel as an intellectual inferior because of this. Social climbers with great social skills are so outgoing and 'interpersonal' in ways that I never was nor really want to be. I only wish I had the social skills and contacts I have seen of the really bright, smart educated women.

That all being said, too many of these women do not act like women, they act like 'Hillaries'. There is the Mars/Venus approach here like you cannot imagine.

Men like to act like men, but when we serve under a woman who is emotion driven, there is a serious falure of the ability to get along.

A man wants to act like a man. And, Any man who has anything going for him wants to believe he is providing for the woman in his life. Career women, sucessful ones, are making more money than him, and are probably more stable than him. You dont need him.

As a man, I want a reason to work, and that is to provide. Else, All I am doing is living like a Marine on shore leave, spending every penny I have when I have it, and if there is any left, there must be a misunderstanding.

A man with anything going for him wants to put that into a family, and if he is hooked up with a career woman, she has already beat him to it. A man would have to submit to that woman as the inferior if she made so much more or had the more secure job or had the more secure career.

A man wants to feel like a man, the man of the house, and if you are doing twice as good as me, I am not sure how I could do that.

[SauronOfMordor]

My husband is ruler of the household, not tyrant of the household. Makes for a much happier household when you both want what's best for the other person, rather than being consumed with what's in it for you. ;)

In my household, the arraingement is that things happen my way, if I feel strongly about it. The net effect is that I don't push it, and let her have her way most of the time. It works out, and keeps arguments to a minimum
