I say fucking don't get married, get a cat, and die out of the gene pool. If a woman feels like marrying down is the worst thing in the universe, she is the worst kind of woman to get with.

Please, go shut yourself in and die alone. Surround yourself with feminist literature or something. Just stay the fuck away from men.

Men have married women of lower status for thousands of years. We aren't bothered by that. If you women are bothered by that, then it's time men stopped fretting. It's time men realized they're better off alone than with a woman who sees marriage as a transactional affair.

Stick with your vibrators and your romance novels, single men have tons of porn to keep them happy.

This unwillingness to settle for less than we think we deserve is joined by a lax attitude towards searching for potential mates. We’re busy dominating the world. We don’t have time to hang out at bars. While some of us explore online dating or take a more proactive approach, the majority of Millennial women have long assumed we would meet Prince Charming via friends, or through their own social circles. “Why should we waste our precious time and energy unless we meet someone we really connect with and care about?” asks Baker. “I think it’s great that Millennial women are picky and don’t feel as much pressure to be in monogamous relationships as did previous generations. I do think all Millennials, not just women, are used to the idea of being able to ‘curate’ experiences — that’s why so many people are into online dating, because you can pick and choose character traits — and that makes people wary about settling down, especially when, in a city like New York, there are so many options.”

Unfortunately these assumptions bump up against the growing inequality between the two genders. Millennial women have taken it for granted that they will pair up with equal partners. But increasingly, there aren’t enough of these men to go around. Women now outnumber men on college campuses, and single, childless women out earn their male counterparts. In fact, as author Liza Mundy writes in her book, The Richer Sex, Millennial women are increasingly finding two options when it comes to romance: marry down or don’t marry. “There needs to be a cognitive behavior change in what are [considered] important traits,” says Mundy. “I talk to so many women who are obsessed with finding men on their level. They want someone as ambitious, engaged, and high-achieving as they are. They maybe need to rethink that to seek a partner who is supportive, rather than competitive.”

Well ain't that some cute fairy tale shit......


Anyone who doesn't accept that marriage always has been and always will be a type of business contract is not emotionally or intellectually mature enough for the realities of marriage.

If marriage is automatically, as your insane universe dictates, a business contract, then it is an institution that needs to be left behind.

Cue your "resistance is futile" response... :rolleyes:

I agree. It was a good idea back in the day but is merely tradition served up for lawyers and gold diggers to profit off of in modern M'uricuh.

No....resistance is not futile in this case. But don't expect several thousand years of tradition to vanish anytime soon.
 
1.You're right and wrong imo

You're wrong as far as the generalization goes - in that only a % of women do that).

But you're also right, in that there are a few women who are picky in that way and who refuse to choose from the pool of available men.
But their motivations differ.

For example: some women are extremely picky (not choosy) and care about things such as looks, title and money.

But others don't marry or don't have or adopt kids, because they haven't gound people with similar interests and so on. Or just because they're not the "sharing" type. Marriage for them means that they would have to make compromises and have much less time to do what they like. And title is less important for some women than shared passions and wits(you are an exception, but there are some computer experts and so on who ace at their job, but know nothing else outside that).
Nothing to do with misandry, if you judge by the friends or company that they kep.
((To any of my trolls: I'm not referring to myself - I'm talking about dome of the women that I met.))


2.But that goes for men too. A % of them marry down (women of less professional standing), cuz ego. And how many men are keen to settle for a 300 pounds woman with facial hair?

I think that it applies equally to both genders.

1.For some people (looks or money and so on are the most important thing).

2.But others look more for "kindred souls" (meaning shared interests and values.)
In saying that, who are we kidding? If they'd have to choose, I bet they'd go for a hot intelligent top model and millionaire who shares the same interests, as opposed to average Jane or John Doe.
 
Nobody, especially a woman in the current world should marry down.
Then women should just not marry. All the more reason for research into sex robots and artificial wombs and such.

A man who doesn't love an overweight woman will not love her just because she got down to an ideal weight.

They shouldn't be getting married, either.

Most women are not marrying down. But this thread is a good reason you should stop talking. You set Civil Rights back a decade every time you talk.

Which is why I said marriage is in many cases a sham. A woman who absolutely refuses to marry down is someone who is incapable of love.

I won't even bother asking you how so, because you've no hope of backing up your deluded nonsense.

I have never once proposed taking rights away from women.

However by saying women shouldn't marry down you've taken men's rights straight back to 1950.
 
I would like to add that I don't know much about this topic, but I agree with both sides.

Yes you have. This thread, many other threads you've started have proposed taking rights away from women. That's just who you are.

And nobody should ever marry down especially women. Men have superior privilege in the real world. Setting men back means giving women equality.

Guys, I don't think that you get LJ.
He has a flaming rhetoric and talks with generalizations and such, but his actions speak differently. Did any of you notice the way in which he treats female posters (except if they attack or mock him first, of course )? With a lot of respect.

It's been like this for an entire year since I joined the forum, consistently so.

Married or not, if you have not witnessed a life being born out of the womb of a woman, you have seen nothing. Especially if the mother is the woman you love.

I call you out to provide specific examples of rights I proposed to take away from women.

You are now going to flee in terror from me and not provide those examples. Because as you already know none exist, because you're full of shit.

I have never proposed taking any rights away from women. Ever. So fuck off.

Women who refuse to marry down should be avoided by men. If men do this often enough they'll get the point and drop this mindset. Problem solved.

Sean Retard is a liar, and he knows it. He's the same fucktard nutjob who argued that boycotting something and even walking off of a slave plantation is an example of an aggressive act.

The sundry AELLA alts confuse me. What happened to plain vanilla AELLA?

It's for the same reason that I believe that psychoanalysts are full of crap.
Leaving aside their misanthropy ("you all are unaware rats in a maze, I'm the expert who'll tell you what you're not aware of and how you think and feel") they also believe that one's personality is fixed.
It's not: we're all changing or evolving along with our experiences, right until we die.

But leaving aside my blabber - if you're referring to the attack trolls, I changed my tune and I plan to attack them and report them every time they clown around.

I was always a healthy, hardworking, cute guy, and while sexually attractive and pleasing to women, I marched to the beat of my own drummer, with regards to income and ambitions. The different drummer aborted many promising romances when women assumed the worst outcome. They saw a life of poverty and Spartan austerity for me, and I saw the harvest of rich experiences and challenges. I married a wealthy girl whose family shared my world view.

On the other hand a guy I went to school with got his medical degree and became a celebrated surgeon and medical professor, then collapsed and lost everything from drug use. At the end his colossal failure was in the paper. He lost his medical license, his professor position, his practice, wife, wealth, etc. He vanished.
 
Al I know is we married long ago when shit like this wasn't around.
Up, down, sideways it's worked for us.
I saw the bitch gathering berries and killing a hog for dinner so I dragged her to my cave by the hair.

Too many women look at dollar signs not love.
