Once upon a time there was a handsome young price and an equally beautiful young princess. The prince asked the princess, “If you will kiss me and consent to marry me, I will give you your heart’s desires for the rest of your life.” The princess pondered these things in her heart, and after a few minutes told him, “I am sorry, but I shall not kiss you, nor consent to marry you.”
And so, the prince bought a Harley to ride. In fact he rode Harleys most the rest of his life. And he went hunting, camping and fishing whenever he pleased. He sat around in his underwear on weekends smoking cigars and watching sports from the couch, ate what he wanted and when he wanted, played poker with the guys and as he got older dated women half his age. He left the toilet seat up as he pleased and even had money left over from his paychecks at the end of the month.
My daughter is 15. I worry about the dating world she will enter in a few years. I worry that her heart will be chewed through repeatedly by jaded men. They might be bitter because of real or anticipated heartbreak from equally jaded women, but the reason won't matter to her fresh young heart.
I do hope young men who believe what you write stay away from young women, yes. Maybe that will spare her.
Are American men better off avoiding relationships with American women?
This is painting with an extremely large brush. So I can only answer with extreme generalizations...
Quote:
1)Dating can be extremely expensive and the financial burden is often put on the man.
Extremely expensive? Why? If you cannot afford dinner with another person now and then, or a movie, you should not be dating. However, I would not consider dating much of an overall financial burden.

2)Sex is easy to come by. It is easy to go out and pick a girl up every once and awhile, or even have a friends with benefits. The majority of women seem to push away the "nice guy" who would make a great father and husband until 30 when their biological clock starts ticking. Before that, they are hitting bars and clubs and spending nights trying out new sheets!
Um... well... yes if you go to the right places you can find no strings attached sex. However, I do not see this being fulfilling long term for most men either. There is FAR more to companionship with a women for men than just getting sex.
There are also a lot of good women in their 20's who are not always hitting bars and sleeping around.

3)Is it really worth having a relationship that could lead into a horrible failed marriage caused by modern world entitled attitude expectations, financially and emotionally crippling men? Many women will divorce after they have kids and can no longer carry....interesting......
Is it ever worth taking a calculated risk in life? There are no guarantees in anything. If your attitude going into marriage is that it will end in horrible failure, you should not be considering it. However, if you are in a good relationship developed through protecting your heart and making the decision to get married on analyzing the relationship and the person (and not on lust or emotion) then there would be no reason to assume it would end in a horrible failure.
Hhehe, the title reminds me of Prince Frog. This is not meant be a negative thing.

On the lighter side........
1)We can leave the toilet seat up!
2)We don't have to spend endless amounts of time and money on material possessions in which we will use merely for a brief vapid moment and then throw out like trash when something new comes along.
3)We don't have to beg for a guys nights out.
4)We don't have to explain every little thing we do.
5)We don't have to have psychic abilities to really understand that they actually meant the exact opposite of what they were saying.
I can emphatize with what you are saying and agree with some of it, but you really set yourself up with these kind of threads.
