For myself it has been a battle and a march since my wedding day because I absolutely refuse to put up with the nonsense of my wife’s unreasonable demands to make her the absolute center of my life…My father made that mistake and paid for it with his life and with the more than likely possibility of being financially raped of their children, home and hard earned income in a divorce…I can certainly see exactly why many men would turn to their PDA as a refuge of last resort even as that hope in vain that the girl they married won’t divorce em…

You confuse girls and women. Women don’t play games and don’t ask to be supported. Girls do.

The reason most women act like little girls in adult female bodies and behave like merchant maureens with PMS (princess mentality syndrome)? Men recruit, enable, tolerate, and fund them.

Until men grow a pair — open their mouths and close their wallets — women will continue demanding, and getting, all the meals, trips, homes, and bling they want.

“with women. Women, not little girls occupying adult female bodies.”

That’s the problem Marc. The little girls in Women’s bodies outnumber women 1000 to 1. Now that could be due to the fact I live in Southern CA but still……every where I look almost every woman I speak to….All have massive princess entitlement complexes. I have yet to meet a woman who is under 30, who is not morbidly obese, who is not already married, that doesn’t fall into the category of a little girl in a woman’s body.

Yes, I provide fee-based relationship advice — to men and women. All the info is at my Website.

Yes, it is possible to experience emotional intimacy with women. Women, not little girls occupying adult female bodies. Huge difference. The key is to screen out the noncommunicators upfront. By asserting, in the first meeting with her, what you want and what you’ll give, your chances of succeeding skyrocket. Alas, most men keep their mouths shut and their wallets open to avoid “ruining” their chances of getting laid. That’s why they end up with merchant maureens.

In the old days, of course, when the divorce rate was small and only a little troubling, there were a host of unwritten, barely spoken understandings about courtship and marriage. The one-sided pursuit and catch strategy was accepted out of ignorance and reciprocated by a certain grace and modesty. Power was shared far more equally than today.

Society changed and all the rules were exposed. A superb explanation is provided by George Rolph at http://antimisandry.com/general-blog-chat/deserting-dads-deadbeat-politician-problem-14846.html

It would make a grand ‘maiden Speech’ for any new member of a legislature.

Marc and we have benefitted by default by having our traditional blinkers taken off. But we mustn’t simply put another lot on.

Communicate, Marc? To access emotional intimacy? Guru- speak, Sir. Codswallop.

One can barely talk to a modern woman without coming away severely depressed. When I was a lad it was when they opened their mouths that the woman-bubble burst. Awful voices and awful accents were common then, not that the Palin Screetch is any better. But the total lack of grasp of sense today is far and away worse than 40 years ago.

Today, even with an educated, savvy, successful, executive woman one can barely get through a minutes conversation without her landing three cliches on your ear. Women talk in a very limited intellectual vocabulary. In a short day with a woman one can hear her go through 12 cognitive distortions and at least 25 informal fallacies without her noticing any of them. They have no idea what they are saying. They are on auto-mouth most of the time and when not they are repeating lines from sit-coms.

Emotional intimacy? God almghty a bit of authentic emotional content would be a friggin’ miracle. It is all sentiment and inflated outrage over trivia md lauding of other trivia.

There are only 14 women left in the world who are over 25. I don’t want to have conversations any more, let alone intimacy, emotional or otherwise, with demanding children who masquerade as adults and cannot atriculate a toothache without resorting to Depak wossname.

And Marc. Mate. What was that aside; almost overlooked; sneaked in. You do ‘Relationship Advice’? Gordon friggin’ Bennett. There’s a slippery slope waiting for you arse, there Sunshine.

I’m not convinced. Wasn’t there a time when men pursued women and yet they still respected each other?

I’ve just been checking out an author called Dick Masterson, who wrote a book called Men Are Better Than Women. He has appeared on Dr Phil, branding himself a chauvinist, and saying women are good for one thing, having babies, and they’re not even any good at bringing them up. This guy is hardcore, calling ALL women whores, but he’s on TV, and his website is inundated, and his book is selling well, and I think it’s because people can relate to his standpoint. He’s playing the worst of women at their own game, and by all accounts, winning.

Hopefully now, with a very articulate and funny ‘chauvinist’ like Masterson coming through, Marc’s demands for equality between the sexes will be accepted or even seized upon by women as the way ahead, reasonable and progressive as Marc’s gender-related demands have always been, in the face of the alternatives. For this reason, I think Masterson’s position is helpful, as he presents the antifeminist no woman could publicly support, so women might rise up, and couph up, as they started doing for the first time during the heights of second-wave feminism.
