I'd be miserable if I wasn't able to be with a Congolese woman
I completely agree and it isn't practical and I think ultimately the marriages suffer. There is some truth to the "happy wife, happy life" motto and I think as women obtained higher levels of education and economic power, our needs and wants in relationships and within the family unit shifted and society has not caught up with that shift. As a result, women who deviate from this - either by being sexually free and non-committal are societally shamed as sluts and women who focus on career over family are often shunned as cold, selfish and not in touch with their "feminine" side.
I like to see this discussion on a male board and I'm new here - but I have seen few male opinions I consider "surprising" but I have respected the guys who were just flat out honest....at least from there we can start a discussion about how men and women can meet in the middle because 2015 is basically like "the future" and the world is changing.... something my mother always says "If it were up to men...the world would never change" just something to think about....
I'm finally starting to come to the realization that I'm never getting married or having children... And most men my age are going through the same problem. Women aren't real women anymore... They can't cook , clean, hold a convo, raise a child. A lot of them want attention all day... Taking selfies n shyt
If they leave u..they take your children and half of your money that u worked hard for
These chicks better humble themselves because more men I've notice are becoming content with being single . women spend their 20s being a attention seeking loser, holding out for the "perfect man" that don't exist and then they get all desperate in their late years and become bitter when they end up lonely.
Feminism don't tell u about that. More and more men r giving up on american women...
Feminism ruined women, notice all the happy women in relationships are the ones that don't mine playing their role, they submit and their man protect them. That's how its suppose to work. Not some bytch trying to out earn and dominate her man.
Y'all women better stop being simple and give men that treat u well a shot because prince charming is never coming through the door. Better stop trying to live out ur sex in the city fantasies
What do you mean by that?Going to be blunt.
The world will never change? Everything that makes your life easier in one way or another was brought about by men.
It's a shame that the role of a man in the family in this thread has been so devalued, while the 'supermom' is hearld as indirectly the new head. If we have to list what a man's role is I've already lost you.
Why should a woman's achievements effect her role in her own personal family unit? Wouldnt those achievements make doing her duty easier with all that success? Or have her priorities changed?
'Happy wife, happy life' doesn't exist. Strong husband, happy family. It starts from the top down as with most things and always will.
Yes, my parents are like this and they've been together for over 30 yrs so something must be working. People now a days are so busy trying to "see what they can get out of each other" that they end up playing themselves.I do all of this. Probably more that might sicken some of yall.
But my husband also does every single traditional husband function in the house.
In a traditional marriage each party may feel as though they are giving something up or
at the risk of being taken advantage of. The man may feel "why do I have all of this or the lions share
of the financial responsibility? This doesn't seem fair
the woman may feel "wwhy do I have all of the responsibility for the house and kids?" This doesn't seem fair
to submit yourself to your partner in this way requires not only love but TRUST
if you don't truly trust your partner to have your best and your family's best interest at heart
then you will never be able to put your all in.
These threads worry me because it seems like each sex is so un trusting and suspicious of the other sex
that ofcourse you can't find happiness.
Some of you here, and many others I know would fit perfect in the 1950's or the 1800's with some of these views....Archaic, stereotypical gender roles that aren't about feminism ruining anything, it's about society advancing beyond remedial roles that were established in vastly different times, and to be honest, were fukked up back then too. Cooking cleaning and housework while the man is the provider is about as quaint and old fashioned as JFK and covered wagons. If you want that, go for it, but don't be angry if women aren't fukking with it. And, if they want to be bottle rats and club bytches til its too late, well thats a foolish choice, but their choice, and it's not an eitheror question at all....it is embarrassing when men and women talk in these cliches and gender stereotypes....How many friends I have who wifed up a girl, basically demanded she cook/clean/whatever, while they footed the bill and then the (men) RESENTED the fukk out of them for it...it's classic misogyny and lack of self awareness.....as far as women, only how I feel about them, and how they feel about me is what I care about, and obviously behavior and actions, but NOT cooking, cleaning, domestic responsibilities...I could give a fukk.
women and men are like 90% biologically the same, all the double standards and extra shyt is created by society, and both gender are responsible for their part in creating and advancing these stereotypes and roles...I was telling some girl how we all fundamentally want the same things, but ask for them in different ways....treat people as simply fukking human first, women and men are not sub species to each other, both genders are guilty as fukk of that.

Are you a 10 looks wise?
When you say high...how high? Anything less than 8 is a no go?
They will tell you they have needs. Trust me i tried telling this due on the quick gems...some people just dont listen.Stop having recreational sex.
wheres my other son @HankHill at?
I am sure you think good looking. But would you consider yourself an 8 and above?I know I look good. I'm 6', 180. Women and men (no homo) of all races tell me I'm good looking all the time. I got hella clothes and shoes too. I could stand to go to the gym and I could be doing better career and life-wise. But in terms of looks, yep, 8 and up for me. But looks are subjective. What's an 8 and up to me might not be shyt to the next man. What I think is thick might be fat to some folks. But if I saw that diamond in the rough who could be wifey material that could be cleaned up if she lost a little bit of weight, got a lil makeover, I'd roll with her over the gold-digger Instagram jawn with the already near perfect physique.
Because they lose respect for the man in the household and start to emasculate the male
