Are any women in your eyes losers? I don't see anyone calling women losers on this forum.
Face the fact that this is a female domnated site. They post on here, telling everyone how they cannot find a suitable man, but that doesn't make THEM losers, only the men who won't jump at the opportunity they present.
BTW, it was good to check out that old Salon article again. I made one of the early comments there that pinned down the real reason for the shift in happiness. Not hard to understand however.
People are always unhappy when everyone tells them that the sky is the limit and this doesn't work out. Eventually women will come to terms with this (in 20 to 50 years) but in the mean time, they'll just keep reworking and tinkering with feminism.
Men are learning to stay out of the way and as a result are becoming much happier.

Generally, people ignore uncomfortable truths that they don't want to deal with. It is much more comfortable to listen to those with the same viewpoint.
I'm not like that and actually enjoy reading the comments of women here. Its opened up my eyes to the way that things actually are.
Two years ago I thought that women were primarily the victims of relationship problems but now I realize that this was just a fabrication of the mainstream media and various government programs to assist women who make serious mistakes. Taking personal responsibility is much more diffcult than just blaming men for your problems.
Looking back, I now realize that this was a common theme I encountered with most people. The difference is that men must live completely with their mistakes so the best of them do all within their power to not make them.
Yeah, that's a great point. Any issues I might have, only impact me. Whereas so many women will look for, or have society try to deal with the problems. I'm a tax paying citizen, no criminal record. I contribute to society. Society doesn't pay the price for my faults or my decisions. I pay much more taxes than the average american does.
I truly think that these kind of posters are ruining the relationships forum. Can someone who's been here a long time please tell me that this will pass..?
Yes, they will pass--and other misogynists will come and take their place.
There are always going to be haters and trolls. Just be thankful that you aren't that miserable, yourself.
And hey, they provide a valuable service to their fellow men: They make a lot of us gals appreciate our boyfriends, husbands, or SOs all that much more. More than once, I've shared some of the lunacy on these boards with my man, and said, "I'm so glad you're not like that." Generally, his thoughts are, "No. It's a waste of time."
And it is. It's a waste of time to go through life angry and bitter, and it's a waste of time spewing hate at people you don't even know. These guys think they're going to change minds or provide some kind of insight with their rantings. Frankly, I think it's pathetic, and if they weren't so nasty, I'd feel bad for them. Well, at least they're home on their computers venting their spleens, and not out there circulating.
You're grasping at straws to support a false premise. I don't believe accomodations are made for women who can't perform duties in their job descriptions. Men have never had to resign themselves to working in pizza parlors when they couldn't perform duties required, learning another trade or education has always been an option.
right, learning another trade like flipping pizza...and women are actually much greater beneficiaries of education than men will ever be. Men have no incentive to become formally educated outside of the inflated arbitrary value that other elite men (the people who run corporate america and who's friends own and profit from the tuition lending institutions within higher education) place on degrees. This is one of the reasons that men are underperforming in higher education as we speak. Men know they will always have a monopoly on manual labor and protection/military/police work, and that is what they know they can fall back on. Until they legalize prostitution, there is much less incentive for a man to waste time and incur the debt of education than there is for the average woman; and of course, when prostitution becomes legal, women too would be able to truly exercise their monopoly on sexual power that they have over men.

"They."
You know, them. Those people. All of them.
Right. You miss the posts from those of us who are in good, healthy relationships or marriages. You conveniently omit that there are quite a few women--and men--here who are happy with their partners.
But, you know, the people who have successful lovelives couldn't possibly have any evidence to back up the advice they offer. And of course, the women in relationships here must be nad-breakers whose partners must be emasculated, right?
Male or female--and I am the first to try to knock some sense into a female who seems to be lacking it--the common denominator in all of your failed relationships is you. Lashing out at those who reject you and those who have what you claim not to want is transparent, indeed. See: Sour grapes.

Hi solytaire,
Actually it would add to the supply thus decreasing female sexual monopoly power. It is essentially transactional polyandry.
