He sounds depressed and withdrew himself from trying to find a companion to have a long term relationship with.

Thanks! Btw have you seen this one pic where snow whites "real ending" was? It showed someone dressed as snow white holding two kids looking tired while "Prince Charming" was sitting on his duff doing nothing. So I also say that for some people (including myself), not having kids has freedom too.

Yes, modern day women are taught from child hood that their prince will come along and provide absolutely everything for them. That they deserve a good looking, exciting, strong, caring, adventurous, financially secure, endearing, responsible man who will pay attention to their every need. These things often contradict each other and leave impossible standards in which men are supposed to meet, yet many women expect.

Women are in no doubt the main consumers of western culture. This also builds into an expecting and entitled attitude. While feminism is somewhat against these logic's, it really didn't do anything to disband them. It merely made it stronger. Women today love the new found equality and power that feminism has ignorantly fought for, yet hate the responsibilities that come with it. This is why we have so many double standards. We are all considered "equal" until it benefits them otherwise. They are so independent...until that dinner check comes. Men are no different....until it benefits them in divorce court and child custody court. Suddenly, women are more nurturing. We live in a society that often jumps back and forth within two era's of social norms. We protect our women so they get the benefit of the doubt, both positives from different eras.

Men today in the rich and middle class social class are left off far worse from a divorce. Women often get away with full custody of the children. Men are burdened with financial imprisonment to the women, and the government. The government urges fathers to let one parent be the sole custodian, did you know that? They claim it is easier on the children. I wonder why the majority of incarcerated individuals come from single mothered homes.

I do hope young men who believe what you write stay away from young women, yes. Maybe that will spare her.
Why are you going to let your 15 year old daughter date men? She should be fine until 24, that is when most men wake up and smell the coffee.

Some men really should remain single of they want. If a guy wants to marry, that's his choice. It all depends on the man.

It may require men to have money and a car to date, sex may decrease drastically once married, and so on. But some guys are fine with it. No need to put them down. If you are not convinced about getting married then be it. It doesn’t mean marriage is a bad thing.

I am actually pro-marriage. However, not in a society where the cons out-weigh the pros.

Yeah I know I do, although I am a mens activist, I am not full throttle like this in real life. For some reason though, I just like talking about social issues and controversial issues online.
