You have a point. The one problem he has is that he never tries to be friends with a woman.

If he only sees women as disposable - then of course he's better of not having a relationship with anyone. If you can't respect an entire gender - then you really have no business trying to have a relationship with one of them.

Trophy wives are by far the minority. Even then, many of them are educated and do have a lot going for them.

You're a wise man for such a young guy, hawaiian.

If men remember this bit of wisdom after they marry, they will remain happily married men for the rest of their lives. Their wives will make certain of it.

Let's pretend what you're saying is 100% true.

Maybe men should demand more from the women they date than a pretty face. Perhaps date one because she understands your situation and likes you anyway.

Just a logical thought.

REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT.


If guys will date some pretty face with nothing else going for them, that's only a problem they can fix. Improve your standards if they are this low. As mentioned a million times, if you marry someone equal to you financially, you can stop with the whole alimony complaint if there is a divorce.

I don't know any men who end up with women who are pretty and that's all.

I want to see if I'm understanding this correctly:

Isn't it A LOT OF THOSE MEN'S faults that women are receiving the attention that we "don't deserve?"

From what I can tell it all goes back to those men (more specifically the ones who complain about unnecessary crap like this.)

A LOT OF YOU are the ones who want sex/love from us. (Women want that in return but most women I know put in the work for it. If they didn't there wouldn't be so many men and women in relationships now.)

A LOT OF THOSE MEN are the ones who give us ALL that "attention."

A LOT OF THOSE MEN are the ones that want the "hottest women."

A LOT OF THOSE MEN tell lies in order to get sex and end up looking like jerks afterwards. (And don't try to use the "women make us tell lies" argument because no one put a gun to your head and made you do anything.)

A LOT OF THOSE MEN are the ones who settle for women with just pretty faces regardless of how rotten they are.

So if you want to get technical it seems as though you don't want to do any of the work it takes to have a meaningful relationship....mainly sex to be more accurate.This is just what I get from posts like this. Don't blame women for YOUR issues in the dating realm.

In other words...you can't get mad.

Oh, no. An entirely different set of skills are a must for longevity. Kind of like the difference between having the right skills to land the job, and then having the right stuff to get multiple promotions.

That's when the true work begins.

Keeping women is easy. I require fresh food and water daily and the occasional "attagirl" pat on the rear. Keeps my mind on my business.

Lol. Unfortunately, I still lack the Kung Fu (skills) necessary to keep a woman around, obviously.
