Quoted: There are still many men and women willing to take that risk. You may not be one of them, and that’s fine. What you see as nothing more than a risky burden may end up being the greatest pleasure of someone else’s life. One of the fantastic things about this nation is that we are free to make that choice. No one is obligated to be in a relationship with anyone else. Mutual selection reigns supreme. View Quote You may not be obligated, but your life will be destroyed if you if you take the risk, lose and try to opt out. |

Quoted: How should she 'feel fulfilled' then? By catering to you? This mindset is alien to me, please explain. I'm not trolling you. View Quote For every thing we do, we become a little less good as we add more and more task to the mix. Filipinas are happy to run the household and take care of the kids, and yes to work for income if they feel it's needed. |

There’s something that bugs me these discussions . I’m a big quirky dork. Before I got married I had no money. Never had a real job. No one would say I was particularly good looking.
I don’t believe that any girlfriend settled for me. When we were together we spun in each other’s orbit with everything else being a distraction. Yeah, eventually I would move on but I can’t believe they looked at me and said “he’ll do”. I never thought that of them Tears and random emails tell me I’m not delusional. I’m also not a Chad or whatever. I don’t think women decide to pick a sucker to settle down with. I think passion fades and they don’t know how to love someone once the euphoria and novelty is gone. |

My wife of 21 years passed away 8 months ago.
I really, really miss HER and all the things she did for us. It all seems like a distant memory, now. But, at this time in my life, I don't know if I really want another person. The freedom is really nice, but the responsibilities I've inherited really suck, being single. If I meet someone, who fits the bill, I don't really know if I would pursue or not. I guess I'll find out one of these days. |

Quoted: Male-female relations have never been worse in the history of the human race. The West is exceedingly efficient at indoctrinating girls to believe they don't need or want a man, or that men don't have qualities worth desiring. Men are in obsessive competition with each other and will work together to oppress each other at every opportunity. Plus now you have to contend with the health issues caused by the mrna clot shots.

Quoted: That male death by suicide rate is driven by an aging population. Older white guys not only make up a larger part of the population, their rate of suicide is also highest, pulling up the aggregate rate. It's not as though men have suddenly gotten more hopeless, is that there's a Boomer Bulge swelling the numbers of at-risk age group. Regarding the Men v Women rate...we all know that men use means that are more likely to be lethal on the first attempt (firearms) while women choose less successful methods (pills.) It's not a state-of-mind difference, it's a success rate gap. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Women have always been selective, by their nature ![]() Women tend to have 1 ancestor, men, 2 or none. Vagina is never worth zero. ![]() But women don't have the same exactly level of up (and down) movement men can do in the dating market. Women IMHO on AVERAGE are better communicators, at the top levels, very well represented. Let me just say, they can't seem to translate that to romance though ![]() VERY few women have any game at all. Or as Patrice O'Neal would say, "LIKE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK YOUR WAY INTO DICK. LOOK AT ME, I'M DISGUSTING - DO YOU KNOWWW HOW FUNNY I HAVE TO BE TO CATCH YOU?" But, there's a problem here: "and who share their values." IIRC it was Christina Hoff Sommers who said that one of the predictors being a Social Justice Warrior is being a woman. They're more likely on average to believe the modern leftie ideas (the cultural rot stuff). Young single women, that cluster of fertile women are often duped by this crap. SO many of them today, values wise expect a husband who does ALL the old traditional husband things, and expects fucking zero in return. ![]() I would say that's the biggest problem from my standpoint. I left swipe tons of pretty girls. There were a few dozen girls over the years that, if I saw they'd make a bad mother/wife, (or they were crazy), I'd go. No matter how pretty they were. I wouldn't stick it in the crazy, I can't run that fast away from a wreck ![]() If I thought this thing makes it to 30,000 feet after take off and will promptly run out of fuel? No sense in climbing aboard. Not when the ejector seat is tethered to my bank account, and she gets a much bigger parachute. ![]() "We're not teaching them to CommunicateTM enough." I don't think that's quite all it is.

It's not as though men have suddenly gotten more hopeless, is that there's a Boomer Bulge swelling the numbers of at-risk age group. Regarding the Men v Women rate...we all know that men use means that are more likely to be lethal on the first attempt (firearms) while women choose less successful methods (pills.) It's not a state-of-mind difference, it's a success rate gap. People tend to use what they have access to and may be familiar with. In places with tight gun control like China/Korea/Russia pesticide poisons are a high use method, especially in rural areas, where as in cities long falls are. There is another factor, when women use firearms, they often aim it at their chest for the heart, compared to men who aim at the head for the brain. Most people think of their heart in the center of chest, which is wrong. That male compared to female gunshot location difference has been attempted to be explained away by women's vanity. Not wanting to mess up their face/beauty...or some shit.... Although I think it may be difference in familiarity with ballistics and anatomy knowledge. Where people that shoot themselves in the chest, put the barrel to the center of the chest, not to the left side, to hit the heart. Thinking they were aiming for the heart, when they were not aiming at such, and this is one factor in the several "possible reasons" you have more females survive gun shot suicide attempts. In the male group, that they may have more experience and do not over estimate the lethality of a single shot, or a smaller caliber. This may be due to more males being exposed to firearms, and the bullet's ballistic knowledge. Which could come from the military service (most older males served), hunting, and other recreational shooting activities. Adding to that, many of these older males that grew up hunting and consider "if the animal ran for more than 25 feet after being shot , to have been a bad shoot" . Due to shot placement, distance, and/or caliber used. This group prided themselves on very humane kills, with preferably dropping the animals where they stood when hunting. So when it comes time to end their life they would chose to do such to themselves with an appropriate caliber and better shot placement. Suicide statistics are weirdly complex and seem to contradict themselves, and have a lot of researcher personal pet theory in the ""reasons"". I'll step down off a soapbox before I write long rant how the "severeness of the method" is considered the big factor for getting help and how Mental Health screws the pooch by not factoring in "how much that person was ""certain"" that their method would work" . Which is not taken into that evaluation as highly, if at all. That can cause someone to be dismissed , and/or downgraded for seriousness of their suicide falsely, which is the last thing we want. |

Quoted: Consider your workplace. Would you describe your peers as equally committed as you to do their jobs well? Chances are you have co-workers wholly dedicated to doing an excellent job. Others would like to do a good job, but lack the skills or intelligence to do so. And still others that couldn't care any less about doing their job and are really just waiting for their paycheck. People involved in marriages are the same way. You can have two people that are committed and skilled at keeping each other happy. Then you have marriages where one party (or both) simply lack the ability to make each other happy and one (or both) decide to separate. Then you have the third couple that simply doesn't care anymore but it seemed like such a This is why nearly 2/3 marriages end in divorce. View Quote Your analogy is far lacking. For when either the employee quits or is fired he doesn't lose half his retirement and is forced by a kangaroo court to work as a modern slave for up to 18-years (child support) or the rest of his life (alimony). |
