That’s the feminist parody of the relation between the sexes.

You are usually obsessed with cooperation. Well, in a cooperative situation, people gravitate toward roles that suit them and their relative skills and abilities. How can you say there’s anything unnatural about males assuming protection and leadership roles given the natural…[Read more]

Males are designed by Nature to be the alphas in most cases.

You’re talking about patriarchy.  Males are designed by Nature to reproduce, and patriarchal domination and control is the least risky method of: mate retention; ensuring paternity; and maximising reproductive success by mating with the maximum number of females.

So one of them has to be the alpha?  And it’s the man?

I had a friend decades ago, a sociology PhD whose mate was working on his MA in sociology. She said that she let him decide the toss-ups because 50/50 doesn’t work. A coin with heads on both sides can’t decide anything.

Males are designed by Nature to be the alphas in mo…[Read more]

Cynicism and a transactional, bargaining attitude and trying to buy women will make nobody happy.  That’s not the way to have a happy relationship.

So one of them has to be the alpha?  And it’s the man?

a) Too bad we can’t see the future before we jump into it; 2) people change.

Maybe this guy who does believe in true l0ve has the right idea.

You can love a woman and not live with her, because once you do that, you have an invisible third partner in your life: the government. And, and once she decides to leave the relationship, it’s suddenly two against one.

Looks like that cynical seemingly misogynistic shit Tom Leykis was right after all.

Every teen girl should see this video by the age of 16. We have a divorce rate of around 40% overall and the damage done by the absence of a father in a child’s life is well documented. Fatherless children are at a significantly greater risk of turning to criminality and/or incarceration, to using street drugs, and of being murdered or committing…[Read more]

Here’s a woman who finally got what men’s issues are all about, and suffered the consequences. (BTW,  she is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in my 77 years as well.)

I have found that once something about you triggers a woman to want you, they often become relentless especially if they have competition. Especially the real beauties. It’s like a switch goes off in their head. Women are way more competitive than men and can be vicious.

In my one and only attempt to connect with a woman online, I…[Read more]

What makes women attractive doesn’t end with having a high sexual stimulus value. She also has to give the guy the feeling that she’s not contending to be the alpha in the relationship and that she’s got no hidden agenda. That starts with not treating him like a “foodie call,” a guy who’s good for a night out at a restaurant and/or…[Read more]

I was in a bar once when a very well dressed and attractive woman came in. She sat at the bar and ordered a coffee and began reading a book. I noticed it was Anna Karenina which I thought very strange to be reading in a bar. Within 10 minutes 2 guys hit on her. She politely shot down their advances. As I wasn’t drinking alcohol I ordered a second…[Read more]

What does it mean to be a beautiful woman?  They go through life like movie stars or celebrities.  This is going to make some of them feel entitled.

I’m no longer participating in the dating game but in this video, which features two women, I wonder if your reaction is the same as mine. First, I probably would not be interested in a woman with much more than a little doodad of a tattoo unless I just wanted a one night stand. Tom Leykis said that if you are out in a meat market and want to find…[Read more]

Just a question or two for you guys: 1) The first gal has an arm full of tattoos. Tom Leykis used to give the advice that if y9u want to get laid that night, concentrate…[Read more]

a quick hump in the alley behind the bar can result in a guy paying the woman to raise children she won’t even let him be a father to.

Maybe it could, but – don’t you watch Judge Judy? – it’s still his responsibility, and he can apply to the court for visitation or partial custody, if he were so disposed.

It’s true that women have had a tendency to rely on men financially.  Why would this be?  Two possible reasons: 1) the gilded cage of patriarchy, which likes women to be dependent and subservient; 2) women rely on resources to raise children.

Listen to these women discussing their standards, and it’s no wonder they are being ignored.

I wouldn’t necessarily call the directive Orwellian – just dumb and misplaced – it wouldn’t necessarily work very well.  On the other hand, it does get the subject onto the public agenda.

Many of today’s women have unrealistic financial expectations that probably fewer than than just the top 1% could satisfy. While millionaires are more common than they used to be due to inflation, it’s still a lot of money for most men. It’s reached the point where a man can live a happy life without the complications involved not just in marriage…[Read more]
