Actually, the original post didn't mention race at all.

I agree what the hell does race have to do with any of this? I said white men and black men have a lot of the same problems which is true, I'm not sure what they are talking about at all. Very strange.

Well, the whole idea would be to become spouses.....however, I agree that short of that the money thing is different.

We have 3 houses (chasing the sun), and a nice sailboat also. No plane though - I am a drone (FAA licensed) guy....much cheaper.

My cousin who owned a small plane in partnership with his aircraft mech. gave it up when his partner caught some treetops on landing and bought the farm.

But - in this sense I am 100% with you. Nothing turns me off more than people who expect something for nothing. In our case my wife has dealt with our children, her aging parents and a bunch of other stuff.

Any decent relationship is a partnership of sorts.

So you men on here, what are you doing about your problems?
The OP mentioned health issues. The leading cause of death in males is heart disease followed by cancer. Where is funding, research and treatment lacking for prostate and testicular cancer.
Females Suffer From Gender Gap in Cancer Trials, Drug Development
https://www.bu.edu/today/2014/why-me...ignores-women/

At what point have men had difficulty entering IT fields or been forgotten or overlooked in the engineering field?
To what degree have men largely been victims of physical abuse needing to learn self defense to protect themselves against women?

I am aware that some men face difficulties entering into previously female dominated jobs and activities like nursing, child care, elder care, waitress, secretarial, etc. as well as finding a place in mommy groups for SAHP. As well men face domestic violence and sexual abuse and there are issues with family court. But what are men doing about it? Why arent they doing more?
What areas do you feel men specifically need to draw attention to and what needs to be done?

You wouldn't believe how many online dating profiles of women where they say some really stupid crap.."love men with tattoos and piercings, rides motorcycles, etc. " I mean, that sounds really stupid for someone that's looking for a guy that will treat them well. It's like seriously, what are you 12 years old?
Seriously? I can tell that you've legit never been on a dating site. I'll fill you in: a guys profile is more than likely devoid of any interesting information, it's usually only a couple lines, with scintillating details such as "I love women who can rock a dress & heels but also be comfortable enough to dress in jeans & a t-shirt". Wow! You don't say?

Asking "what this thread is" and if the OP was "legitimately serious" is cryptic?

Seems rather clear what I am implying.


If this was satire, I could accept it. As a serious post, this might be the biggest joke of a thread on the C-D forums right now.

I am a man, and I have literally no idea what the OP is talking about. Men as a "forgotten group"...lol, what?

hahaha don't get mad, what I said is totally true. Yeah I'm sure what a lot of guys write is pretty dumb too. The difference though is women do the picking, not men. It's a hunter vs gatherer thing. With great power comes great responsibility. BUT that is all off topic and will go out of context, I was merely replying to that specific person.
