You know comments like these are just going to make the women reading them be like "ok, no more sex till marriage, if guys are going to be like that"....

You know why men are idiots? They don't know how to keep their mouths shut when good things are happening. Way too many questions...

Now, if I go up to a girl, and she's like "yeah, I won't put out because I'm tired of sleeping with guys who'll just bounce after he gets what he wants"....I can't even blame her.

In other words, silence in this area is gold.

And increase the risk of catching an STD from those multiple women? No thanks. Plus that will for sure knock you out of a potential decent relationship with someone who is serious.

Default This is a fascinating thread

I am reading this thread from the point of view of a man that has been married to the same woman for 45 years. We fell in love a long time ago and still are. Yeah, we have had some difficulties as anyone would expect from smart stubborn people that do not always agree about things. So what? We don't let us get separated over silly stuff.

I see our next big problem as providing the care we will need as we age. That is going to require a lot of thought and work.

I am glad I am not in the "dating & marriage" game today. It is just too complicated.

Good for you and your wife, and yes dating is a completely different beast now than it was when you two were dating.

Sounds like your underlying assumption is that for women sex is a useful tool for "getting a man", and otherwise optional. Men have sex with women because women need and enjoy sex.

I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a woman.
I've met a few women who have expressed similar sentiments and I think she makes some very valid points.

I'm happy for you and your relationship and even more so that you value your husband. I believe there are a lot of women who would find fault with him because they are disappointed with their own lives in some way and need someone to blame. Men have become the favorite scapegoat and yes, this is my opinion.

Several does not make a majority or even a significant minority.
I'm in the same boat as you Darkatt - but we are definitely a very small minority and as such get a lot of interesting looks.

Look, I don't know if a woman actually wrote the article or not - and neither do you - and we couldn't prove it one way or another.

But my point is that the author is so down on contemporary women, and so critical of their attitudes and lifestyle and their disrespect for others and their crudeness - and yet the article is absolutely dripping with vulgarity, crude language, judgmentalism and disrespect. I found it hypocritical to say the least. If the author meant to portray someone who differs from the women the author is discussing - sorry, but the author seemed cut from very much the same cloth - only more bitter and even less attractive in demeanor than the women being lambasted.

I find it very ironic. Yes, it has some valid points, and no I don't agree with many contemporary ideas about male/female relationships (fault on both sides on that one) and I DO think that many women give themselves away too freely, therefore cheapening their own value in the eyes of many men, but the article gets a lot uglier than that in it's tone and cadence. I thought it was pretty repulsive myself. If a woman wrote it, I am glad she's not in my circle of friends. She's definitely no "lady."
