My favorite line from women is “Oh I don’t know. Like I’ve just always had more guy friends than girl friends. I guess I think like I dude hehehe”

Pretty much every one of those friends wants to have sex with her or was at least hoping to at some point. Or they're gay.

She also likes the attention of being the only female.

"Trouble " being they couldnt hold relationship with them? Or pursued these women and failed?


Also when you say "loser", what criteria are you using to make this distinction?

My wife is brilliant, wished she made more than me. She deserves more pay.

Yep. I had an ex like that. All of those “guy friends” were either rival suitors or exes that she had dumped and wanted to “still be friends” with. She didn’t have many female friends because she was catty, held grudges forever, was constantly looking to be slighted, and was petty and vindictive, especially towards other women.

She wasn’t “more like a guy”. She just liked the attention of these other guys to make her insecure arse feel pretty, and was such a chore to maintain a friendship with that women couldn’t stand her.

I'm not saying guys can't be friends with a woman but I think it rarely starts out with those intentions from the male perspective.

If all a woman wants to do is stay home and watch kids then she probably has nothing interesting to say to me.

I don't care nearly enough to do that. Some men are insecure pansies. Whether you believe that or not is totally up to you.

That isn’t then argument. The insinuation is that most men are insecure about successful women. I think that is a load of crap. More likely is the that most successful have a personality that men don’t won’t to deal with 24/7. I may have guy friends with the exact personalit but I’m not “stuck” with him all day everyday.

Painting with a broad bush is what many are doing here.

That " loser" Tiger Woods married a nanny, dated/ banged waitresses & is now dating an ex manager of one of his restaurants.

I can give you an exhaustive list of extremely successful men who have dated/ married " aspiring" models or actresses or women far, far less successful. Are they all " losers"?

The usual suspects...

The news media, entertainment industry, social media conglomerates, etc.. the same people who are trying to indoctrinate the public with liberal propaganda around the clock.

Most high earning women got there by being type A personalities and career oriented. Very few have the traits a man would want for the mother of his child

But if the issue is literally just a woman that makes more than me, I have no issue with that. That’s a good thing if anything

Smart and powerful women always turned me on. I couldn't date a girl who wasn't in or graduated college when I was younger. Airheads were a huge "no" regardless of their looks.

O yea I would never insinuate that most men or even a significant portion feel that way. I was only stating there existed men out there who thought like that.

I don’t think anyone is questioning the premise that some men are. Most are saying it’s just an absurdly small number.

quote:

Ive seen multiple times, online at least, of a man saying he can't date a woman who makes more money than him. Or even men who will say they refuse to allow their woman to work a job, because they feel it invalidates them as a man or some shite like that.


This quote is insinuating this is normal and regular encounters. I’m saying no they are not. That’s why I asked for links because I do not know any man in my life that would be upset that his wife makes more than him
