Hi Huckleberry3911948,

This may be the case for you. However consider the average man having unconditional love for a supermodel. Often times it is unconditional after other conditions have been met. Is it really unconditional? I recall talking with my friend's wife when I was at their house. She explained to me how many single men would seek very attractive women. Her complaint was they were themselves lacking attractive qualities. Is singleness the case of a 5 wanting a 6 or a 7? How long would an 8 stay on the marriage market if they would settle for a 5?

Hi Huckleberry3911948,

Of course. I hear ya. Over priced goods stay on the shelf and under priced goods are snapped up. The joke is: the goal of marriage is to have your spouse have doubts about doing a little better because then you clearly did as well as you could. A recent divorce by a co-worker reminded me that that was something going well and I needed something light for a change after the doom and gloom of the econ forum. Its still economics here though.

So let me get this straight: if the shoe is on the other foot -- that is, if it's the WOMAN that gets laid off, and turns to her boyfriend for TEMPORARY financial support until she gets back on her financial feet -- would you require HER to pay HIM back? OR are you simply acting out on the conveniently feminist mentality?

You know, women have been fully financially supported by their men for many, many years. I think it's only fair that, since we women now have more "equal footing", that we actually embrace such equality and "pay back" when there comes a time that her boyfriend is in dire need of financial assistance.

If you want to be in equal footing as men, you have to do your part also, and "pay 'em bills" when his side of financial footing is down.

My last girlfriend had been waiting for disability to come in for years. Immediately after moving in with her (at her friend's house), I started paying one third of the rent, and taking over her expenses from her friends. It was my duty to do so, as her boyfriend, to provide for her support. No reason for her friends to continue to do so.

But 3 months into a relationship? That doesn't sound right. I guess it would depend on the individuals involved. Btw, my having the right to work based on my abilities, an education, a voice, etc, doesn't hinge upon any compassion I may or may not give to a man. Be clear on that.

Agreed! A Man has to be employed, make big bucks and then maybe get the time of day.

(Turning on my sarcastic switch) But wait! Do you know something? We Men are so screwed up because we're not millionaires so what's the matter with us?.....Oh yeah we're considered broke cheap losers. Don't you know it's a Man's job to supply every itsy-bitsy thing a female wants and then some? Also we men have to have a crystal ball so to monitor her new material wants so men can purchase before she says it. Also he has to perform perfectly in bed or else she may after all your $$$ investment, time, and love towards her will look out for a replacement. We gotta "Man-up" and kick it up a million or so notches. Feminism assures that their rights are kept and increased while Men have no rights under the laws. If that's not enough when they file for divorce they get a huge chunk of your hard earned $$$, assets plus Child....oooops I mean Mommy support for 18 plus years while she applies for increased payments in that time frame. There's more but I don't want to offend (cough-cough) the more than some in this forum and the millionaires club so I'll stop here.

I'll say this again: I haven't been burned and I don't hate anyone - just heavily dislike what a select amount of females do to men in many different facets. I'm not speaking about the "Bad Men" either who probably have it coming to them, just the average great hard working caring loving man who has got shafted a million plus ways. Don't believe me? Google it and take your time - you'll find it.

IMO: So the only way out for men who want to live life without all of this headache is to do it on your terms away from the fematrix.

Sincerely: So very sorry to the good women, it's not really your fault as the rest have compromised your visibility to Men.

Men ARE learning this one at a time.

Should completely broke and unemployed men be dating?

No, broke and unemplyed men should just pack away their balls and pickel them in a mason jar in their grandmas basement. That way we never have to worry about such scum reproducing.

Men have been supporting women for years. Perhaps, in their drive to be "equal" they should turn it around?
