Have men just given up?

[ms_ann_thrope]

At one time, a man could knock a woman on the head and drag her home to his cave (or his mom's cave). Then he could buy her. Then he had to start courting her. Then he had to provide for her. Then he had to lure her with things.

Did it just become too difficult? Gay men, men sucking themselves off, basement men, 41% of babies being born without fathers (miraculous!)

Where did it all go wrong?

Nope. Just not as worthwhile.

There's one from the given up category.

As much as women realized they could be independent from men, men realized they could be independent from a family, or a woman. Or responsibility at all.

Being an old fashioned kind of husband is really stressful these times. And time adjusts on these facts.

Sorry, but love is a dream. In reality, it's a business. And not a good one for men.

Why would someone like you be worth the effort? (To anyone, not necessarily to me.)

Go ahead: 30-second only elevator, please. Us men are busy.

Guess somewhere along the way feminism took root and the rest, as they say, is bullshit.

That hair dragging cave thing was just in cartoons.

The real problem is all the good women have a man.

Sorry.

Seems awfully simplistic to blame feminism.

True. Putting in effort for a woman that's worth said effort is usually folly, because she will have settled.

Great post. You're right... many men have just given up like the politcal junkie who initially answered you. Somehow being masculine isn't PC any more. Now, society wants men to be gentler, kinder, giving and more interested in body wash than a seeing what they want and then GETTING it. Maybe it's the entitlement society? As you said so well, there's strong emphasis on gay life in today's society.

Todays women are born with boyfriend. easy come, easy go, who cares about love?


I watched "A Beautiful Mind" last night, and I thought: where are those women in the 20s asking a man for a dinner? Where are those women with so much patience like the one, played by Jennifer Connelly?

I think you are an amateur psychologist setting traps young lady.

Not falling for it.

That's not the way it works.

The peacock spreads his tail feathers and she has to make up her mind.

The only effort is being the man he is and he does that all day long, anyway. It's not like he did something special he couldn't do any day of the week.

There's plenty of them, but I can only marry one at a time.

You know that was a movie, right?

Sorry, but you're a coward, when it comes to feelings.

Sad, sad....

 

[RoryN]

There's nothing wrong with a woman wanting to be wooed. It's normal. It's healthy. It's still romantic.

But having a vagina doesn't automatically make you worthy of the practice, and I've met many women around my age who don't seem to get this...

So what?

You say there's plenty of them. What should I understand?

 

[warrior queen]

This works both ways. Movies show men as being 'everyman', and then women go looking for the fallacy.
Movies/books never show men who have one too many beers, fart at the dinner table, or take 2 days to finally take the garbage out.
Women look for an ideal that doesn't exist - and then they get to a certain age and freak out, settling for a guy who only does 2 out of the 3 behaviours above

Jesus Fucking MAry on a Stick. WTF are you accusing me of now? You don't even know 1/100000th of me you liberal jerk off.

You're right. I only can rate your actions here. And this one was cowardish.

The way I see it, the peacock either has the plumage or he doesn't. If he does, he shows it. If he doesn't, he fashions what he can from his imagination. Sometimes, that can be enough to fool a worthy hen, sometimes not. But no matter, because the peahen will almost fall back upon her instincts.

You know what happens when the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his stride.

Who knew a 2,000 year-old woman would be one of the better representations of modern women.

It was a particularly heavy line baited to catch a shark and whoaw, yup, I got a bite.
