3. A person who is irresponsible and has children and fails to take care of them and fails to teach them right from wrong.

4. A person who claims to be in a monogamous, but runs around behind the other persons back. Or a person who claims to be interested in marriage, but really is not.

5. A person who feeds off of other people instead of carrying their own weight.

These can be either male or female. You don't have to be a guy to be a loser!

did you borrow your screan name from Geraldine Page's character in the 1969 Clint Eastwood movie, The Beguiled? or is it just a coincidence?

I'm sure there is. My advice as an investor is to diversify, you should have several in your portfolio. And don't wait too long, jump on that wagon while it's still hot, stocks are rising right now.

If she is intelligent, accomplished, independent, astute at business, and well-respected in the community, why would she settle for a man who has no interest in giving gifts, spending money on her, or getting married, but just wants to get laid? The woman who is intelligent accomplished, independent, astute at business, and well respected in the community is not going to settle for anything less than someone who is mature, generous, committed, and willing to treat her with the respect she deserves.

Nothing in the opening post shows respect for a woman, or women in general, at all.

Oh, and don't forget the "pocket pus*y" which is the small size portable version. Honest to god, a guy told me about it, he was going to go get one.

I think it was an attempt at humor tinged with perhaps a bit of cynicism from a failed relationship. What is really scary is getting back into the "relationship game" at my age (57). The women have so much baggage from failed relationships, been dumped on so many times (perceived or actual) by men, that a decent (but imperfect) guy doesn't stand a chance (very generally speaking). In our increasingly feminized culture, men are afraid to act like men so women try to take the reins. Women from other cultures are appealing because they willingly allow men to lead their household not follow the woman. In a classical sense, it is love (sacrificing self) and submission.
Unfortunately, modern culture has made "submission" a dirty word. Our secularism has made us far too ego centered, in short nobody gives a damn about anybody else.

"Loser" in woman-speak simply means a man who is smart enough to do things that are in HIS best interest.


What are you're thoughts?
My guess is after having read several of your posts in other threads, is that you have heard this pronouncement on more then one occasion AND as a result took the time to come up with this list.

You're hilarious, Ron. Hell, the comments you get here remind me of those I receive on AskMen.

I feel that it's my personal right to have an abortion if I want one, however thanks to good birth control, I've never needed to correct the situation. I am not an abortion lover, but not an abortion hater. Abortion is just a medical procedure. I have more worth than a fetus.

As to having babies, there is no shortage of babies or children to adopt in this world so there is no need to consciously make more of them. There are too many human beings on this planet by several billion. Because we are overpopulated with human beings, the overall human quality of life on this planet is lower. If we didn't have so many humans on this planet, we wouldn't be having these current worldly issues of a lack of clean drinking water, food or fuel. We wouldn't be having a global warming crisis either. And because there are so many people on this planet, jobs are going overseas as other countries undercut us in labor costs and the cost of goods in order to get our business.
Wow! Excellent statements. I am a man. I have a girlfriend that is quite independent. I personally feel that the type of man that wants the lame and subservient housewife is just a bit insecure and feels somewhat less than a man. I am a strong and independent person myself and find it very satisfying to have a girlfriend who feels this way. I want to be with a person and not an object. But, I am strong enough and confident enough that I do not feel threatened. The world is intensely overpopulated and definitely does cause the problems you mentioned. I hope that more women come to feel as you do. It is amazing to have a confident woman and not a slave. My relationship, as I am sure your own does, contains actual discussion and equality. Maybe there is hope for turning around chauvenists yet. I do not think many realize how much better such a view makes one's life.
