I agree that a lot of the young men here with the biggest problems don't seem to value information that comes from women much. They need to hear the same stuff from men.
But, hey, I am a little sad not to be mentioned on the lists of helpful female posters . Is it the snark? Or the commune?
To the regular posters here on this forum, do you know or at least feel that you have made a positive impact on someone else life by posting here?
Has what others have posted here made a positive impact on your life?
Are you just here for entertainment and don't care either way?
I'm not trying to be sardonic. It's an honest question.
I post here a lot because I have a weird job where I am very busy and then hours of downtime So in a way it's entertainment for me, but I also want to help and hope I've had a positive impact on some people. Although some people will argue until their are blue int eh face that the Earth is flat and the dun rotates around it and there is no amount of anything that will convince them otherwise.
But as far as this forum having an effect on my life... it's discouraging. I originally started coming here to find out more about men and how to improve my dating life. But now, after being here for a few months, I think if things don't work out with the man I am now dating, I am just going to stop trying for a time.
It's not just this forum though, it's also my experience with dating the past three years (running into so many "damaged" men, men looking to cheat on wives, and jerks trying to act "alpha"). I'm just tired of wading though guys like that to find the gems--the good guys. I know those good guys are out there and I am not saying I am closed to dating, I'm just saying I am going to take indefinite break from it because I will need to rebuild "dating morale" to go on.
Not often I agree with you but not having a solid decent father figure puts you behind the 8 ball in so much, especially relating to the opposite sex. I'm going to p*&# some off here I'm sure but I'm sorry, there is just valuable crap in life that only a man can teach a boy. It has been my experience.
See... thanks for saying this... I mean that..... only a man can say that......I too come from a broken home... my dad wasn't around nearly as much as he should be..
I know you said you weren't having kids.. but if you did.... would you let them down.. or would you be there for them... I think you would be there for them...
Purely hypothetical as I know you don't wants kids, as nether did I.... but one thing I know for sure, if I did... I would be there....
IDK what the hell is going on... but some of the stuff I read just floors me at times.........
I'm 44.... I think that my generation, (genX), I think in a lot of ways we failed, we failed as parents... not all of course, but enough to warrant a serious discussion to be honest......
I've seen it enough in a lot of my friends and family members.. I myself, don't have kids, but I've got eyes and I can make observations about the world I live in, enough to ponder the question
Have we failed our kids... our young men, in particular????
These days having good parents to raise their kids is a luxury many don't have.

You and I are close to the same age. I know I'm a chick and all, but my childhood wasn't exactly Brady Bunch, either.

You are a smart person... you are going to school for your 2nd masters... you have a brain in your head.... you sound like a lovely woman...
Your crappy upbringing is what most likely made you... same with me....
Most likely... just like most likely you've out done everyone in your circle, in terms of "success".......
I think the adversity may have something to do with our views on life and how we deal with things... sometimes having things too easy... I think it may be a death blow........

Well, I cannot argue with you there. I've known people who had pretty smooth sailing and they took it and did absolutely nothing with it.
I dunno why. No motivation? Lazy?
Hard to say.
