Some childless men in later life might consider a woman of compatible age with no children a goal, but myself, I would prefer a woman (perhaps a widow) who has a nice family that I could integrate into, people who could become like family to me.

It would also take a woman and a family that the family didn't think that I was stealing away their mother's attention from them. That would require fairly mature and well adjusted (adult) children that didn't feel like I was taking "mommy" away from them.

My mother remarried late in life, and I became great friends with her new husband. I considered him like a second father, and I really liked his kids (adults) too! (I would still be friends but all of them live too far away to sustain a relationship, 1,000+ miles and two of them not even in US.)

Get hubby to mow the lawn.

Yes there is a correct amount of tomatoes to plant: just enough. Plant how much you use + how much you usually give away or share/trade with other neighbors. No more.

You can fix a "too many tomatoes" problem. Just delete plants until you have the right amount.

Maybe get neighbor to plant an apple tree?

A middle ground is needed.

True.

I get the vibe from certain men that if they are not in the control seat they don't want to be in the situation. I think this is likely more subconscious. Not all women or men are the same, but I always found is really annoying when men back away from women that can hold their own. They become intimidated and then resentful.

This basically sums it up. Most of these disgruntled men are modern day Neanderthals; they know their time is up and extinction is upon them. But they will still go out kicking and screaming, burning the last of their energy and resources fighting a futile fight.

I think there are two flavors of feminism. One for gender equality, the other militant.

I'm not fond of anything military since the TV series, "Victory at Sea."

There is a third: The rabid, mindless variety, which recently criticized Emma Watson for her too-sexy Vanity Fair cover. Her critics somehow feel it is UN-feminist for a woman to be and look like... a woman. I guess they feel "feminism" is about erasing the feminine.

Well I'm all for gender equality and feminists of that type. In fact that sounds like the ideal woman to me, the type I'm looking for.

To hell with the rest. I'm done with this topic.

And good luck with your plastic lives of masturbation and porn.

While I definitely agree that the social media circular firing squad gets ridiculous, the root of the criticism is that if you're someone who campaigns that women are more than their bodies and should not be sexually objectified, then maybe don't pose practically topless in a magazine.

My counterargument is that women can still be respected despite being sexually objectified since they are not the ones objectifying themselves, other people are, and surrendering to those peoples opinions of how they "should" represent themselves is a cop-out.
