Article about men being broke, not marriable

[OgreParticipant 5863]

Like Grumpy, I can*t see how this negatively affects men. Sure, these guys think they want a woman, but being financially unattractive can be a bonus.

I was on DEP and future FIL said no, MIL said yes, hell yes. Cupcake has enjoyed 28 years of minimally employed bliss. The youngest is now 18. Read my sig, I can thrive on half. Women are just plain expensive. I probably wouldn’t have made the choices I did if I wasn’t blue pill for so long. Now though I’m fully awake. Be the wife I thought I was getting, or be the strong independent female you claim to be.

Equality sucks more for cupcakes, we’re just used to s~~~ treatment, and that’s wrong.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

Original Study: “Mismatches in the Marriage Market”

NEW YORK Feminist POST: “Broke men are hurting American women’s marriage prospects”

POST article obviously written by a woman. But gist of study doesn’t say men are “broke” but that available men make 58% less than what women are desiring in a husbank.

So instead of the real problem being addressed—-women are greedy slores, this author blames men. And in typical fashion resorts to name calling, i.e. “You don’t make as much money as I want to spend” = “You’re broke.”

The truth: Many of these available men make a good living, but they will be broke if they marry.

"You don't know a woman till you have met her in divorce court."

“Husbank”

That one word said so much.

Gross. Gross gross gross!!! This is just so gross! This sexist, manipulative, narcissistic, entitled SH!T is spread around and consumed like mental candy. As men, this is what we’re up against. All of us! We all have something desirable to some woman out there no matter our persuasion, and today they feel totally entitled to extract whatever that benefit is like giant she-vampires who travel in packs. So gross!

It’s kindof amusing to me.
Women look at me; size me up financially, then I LOOK AT THEM!
They instantly know this guy is no BS.
I do dress like a bum,but I don’t do “Cowboy cologne” (apologies to any cowboys, that’s what they call cheap cologne here.)

I even had one woman tell me once upon appraoching me; “oh,…. you know already don’t you ?”
Thought to myself: (Well if I didn’t know, there is obviously something I SHOULD know now, …huh?? )

Marry again, Hell NO ! ( Even JESUS was hung on a cross just once)

^This. It’s clearly from a woman’s perspective and that’s fine, but when in societal level ‘problems’, there’s isn’t a lot to gain for looking at person level character traits. It’s not as if men and women have changed fundamentally, it’s the circumstances that have changed. A few things coming to mind, starting with school. Schools are no longer designed to promote men into the workforce. They are designed to tame men and put women in good jobs. Men are not expected to have good jobs until he’s the right age to be married. Before then, he was supposed to just get out of the way.

Then there is the fact that women are looking to get married at a much older age. That has multiple negative effects. She’s less attractive, she’s not remotely close to wholesome, and she is set in her ways and expected lifestyle…putting in mildly. SHE IS NO LONGER GOOD MARRIAGE MATERIAL. Meanwhile, he’s had too many bad experiences with bad girlfriends and figured out that focusing on video games and hobbies is a heck of a lot more fun. And he’s doing this without the vaulted career is was told he needed to have one day.

And of course, the myth that divorce is something that happens to other people, that women are loyal and will stay with you through good times and bad…is totally shattered. A huge percentage of kids are children of divorce and everyone knows kids with divorced parents. They know how it can ruin your life.

There is little reason for a man to try and earn enough money to meet her standards. She is not the woman he dreamed he was going to marry when he graduated HS. He’s found new dreams now.

Ok. Then do it.
