Again, I'm not blaming men for creating the world as it now is. I will blame us if our collective response to the situation is to throw up our hands and say "if they want to be used, I will use them", "there's a risk this woman I love might leave me and use the court system to royally F me, so F it I'll just live a self-interested life", etc.
I'm happily married. I agree. But, I will tell you that I think men would do well when choosing a wife(especially if kids are planned) to remember the reality I stated. IDGAF what else you value in a woman but you need to be as sure as you are humanly able that she ain't gonna dart at the first opportunity because those kids just aint yours. They're not.
quote:Agree with you 100%. And, I think that the OP is sort of obliquely addressing this.
but I think young men should be encouraged to change the world by demanding more out of their women or simply choosing women who don't buy into what the feminists are selling
I don't think men not being married = throwing up their hands. I simply think that more men are doing exactly what you spelled out. They're saying, "ok women, you can go down that road but that doesn't require I follow. I'll sit around and target the ever shrinking population of non heinous women".

He's obviously got it all figured out so why would he change anything he's doing?
Some guys just have all the luck

if you like cutting your toe nails on the couch, and you SO prefers you do it in the bathroom, being able to at least compromise on the fact that you won't do it while they are around you is fair.

then you better soften those fricking talons with hot water and sweep that shite up off my couch.

quote:One saying that has never stopped being true and is only getting MORE true with modern women is the following.
i don't know the extent of what "changes" you made in your previous relationship, but being someone who is unwilling to change small aspects or compromise on issues is no conducive to fostering longterm healthy relationships.

men look at women finished product women look at men as work in progress
A man meets and gets to know a woman.....finds out her features and benefits and says, "this one is cool, I'll take it".
Women meet and get to know men and think....."this one has potential, I'll have to redecorate a bit and perhaps knock a wall out or two, but, when I'm done, he'll be awesome!!!"

I don't think Hammertime is the only person who could benefit from some counseling in this thread.

Ya know, I know people are going to think you're being an arse here, but, there's some truth above.
I'll be blunt. If a woman is totally into you, she does not give a frick where you clip your nails. If she's sharpshooting that shite, she ain't into you.

quote:Well, look at advertisements of the 50s and advertisements of today. Today it is all about being sexy, looking your best, being a model. Back then it was about taking care of your family, husband, house. Who's to blame for that? Everybody. I don't think you can throw the blame squarely on the shoulders of feminist women. A lot of girls today are responding to what's thrown in their face at every turn.
Women used to also be able to differentiate themselves via housekeeping skills. However, this generation, and to a lesser extent, the generation before them, has completely missed out on these essential skills. Most young women can't cook. Even fewer of them are willing to clean, know how to sew, garden, bake, or have any real useful skills. Their parents created a generation of spoiled, narcissistic women who have little to offer society but their looks, but then complain that that is the only metric by which they are judged. Sure, there are tons of intelligent career women out there. But if little sorority Susie expects to be able to attain her Mrs. degree, she better learn something more valuable than "looks effortlessly cute in her giant t-shirt and nike shorts".
Two women are standing in a bar together. OT 8 and OT 4. Who are you walking up to and starting a convo with? Let's face it. Looks is the first draw for most people, most of the time. If you knew that the 8 was a terrible housekeeper and the 4 was a pro at clothes, cleaning, cooking, would you choose the same one? We could do this experiment with pics and info in a new thread.
It really all comes down to what are you willing to give up? The absolute total package doesn't exist. Everyone has flaws.

I see your point, and I have had this exact discussion of dating someone based off potential, and while I believe dating someone based on potential and not who they are, is wrong, I do think it's okay to ask people to minimize their annoying habits (i.e singing loudly in the car when their voice is shite, clipping toenails somewhere other than my $1500 couch, etc etc).

i could be totally off base here, but i tend to think that the maternal side of a woman's biology encourages this nurturing/"fix him" nature. as adult males, i'm guessing that it's perceived as being "critical" not nurturing.
Posted on 3/10/15 at 1:09 pm to ShortyRob
Or maybe you just find toes/feet gross, and it doesn't matter if it's your SO, your mother or your kid, you just don't want that shite on your couch

I know. I find out by having her hold her mouth open and clip the nails into it. If she's down, I know I've found a keeper.
I'm still single.

Or maybe she just doesn't want you clipping your toenails near her or on the couch.

Eh....I dunno man. Everyone, men and women has one outlier pet peeve.
At some point, she has to start trusting that she can share things with you that bug her without you taking it the wrong way, and vice versa.

It's just, when I picked my wife, I liked what I picked.
When a woman starts nitpicking their hubby over shite they KNEW about him BEFORE they got married there's a tendency to say, "what the frick, this isn't news".
I mean, it's like a man marrying a woman who doesn't do anal and then bitching about no anal after the marriage.

To further this point - people have deal-breakers and those can be whatever an individual chooses. You may not think their deal-breakers are valid, but they do, and that's their right. You also have the right to walk away from the relationship if you don't want to deal with their "rules". That's what's great about relationships, it's a two-way street, and each person can decide their own boundaries and what they're willing to put up with.
