Well nobody is entitled to a dance at all. Plus most dudes would be more excited the more attractive the woman who wants to dance with him is. C'mon man you should know this!!

They're too stuck in theory and not enough practice. That and their personalities suck. They always think they need to buy a woman's affection or work on their looks but the real emotional labor comes from stepping outside ones comfort zone socially and teaching oneself how to be playful and emotionally stimulating. Congrats 100 pages!

I don’t get why men who show vulnerability by saying they haven’t had success in dating are sorta automatically attacked as not having enough skill, sucky personalities, not stimulating, etc. I mean sure that could actually be the case for some men, but I think nowadays via the web we can see a lot of seemingly normal men reporting the same phenomenon. Perhaps there have been more broad shifts in what people look for and want in modern society.

Oh by all means go ahead and tell the story that happened to someone else and not to you.

I will speak up. I had a no fault divorce 45 years ago. I took child support but no alimony.

How about you?

That's very nice but for my own part I'm not going to gush about my personal experiences. I know what I know and any man out there who goes into marriage thinking that in the event of a divorce it will end up no-fault with an equal asset split is a naive idiot.

Marriage is legally speaking a huge trap and I understand why many with one strike against them decide "Never again". Your only protection is the decency of your spouse ... and this works both ways. So before you say "I do" you've gotta ask yourself ... How low could this person go? Is there a bottom? Most people are too starry-eyed at this point to really drill down on that question.

With divorce numbers the way they are, anyone that has assets and a well paying job that doesn’t get a prenup is asking to give them up and a lot of money away unless their soon to be spouse comes in with assets and a similar paying job, but even that is risky…and after reading many of these posts I’m extremely thankful to have the wife I have. Yikes

Marriage is just a piece of paper. Why would kids care about their parents being married.
