What is wrong with Men?
Why is it that a man is expected to grow up, learn how to take care of himself and then decide that he now wants to take care of someone else and essentially be someone else’s meal ticket and ATM machine. I know a guy from college that is really into antique Japanese fighting swords, one sword in particular cost $1500. He made sure he was extra good around his wife, washed the dishes and did the laundry. His thinking was, if he did some chores around the house, then maybe she would let him buy the sword, BUT SHE STILL DIDN”T LET HIM BUY IT!! So my question is, “What goes through the mind of a man, when he comes to the conclusion that he wants to be someone’s meal ticket?
I’ve talked to numerous married guys, and they all say that it’s the woman that really runs everything, they just pay the bills. A man is expected to be the provider, the protector, the leader, and the bill payer. Hell some preachers say that a woman should never have to pay a bill in her lifetime, or pump her own gas. The mere thought of living like this, makes me sick to my very soul. I couldn’t imagine living life like that. Hating to come home because you don’t wanna hear her mouth, or the kids have gotten out of school and are getting on your nerves. The notion is, that a single man is selfish through and through. I don’t mind helping people at all, especially people that genuinely need the help. Nothing wrong with being a helping hand to someone in their time of need. But what i will not do is let someone step over me. What I won’t do is let someone take advantage of generosity. Many of you have read my piece on why marriage doesn’t work in modern times, and if you haven’t, go check it out. I still say, that with the advancement of technology, the need for a wife or marriage in general is dwindling.
There are women in this world, whose only mission in life is to pop out as many kids as possible so that they can live at the expense of the state. Some of these people who continuously push marriage are fooling themselves, they either don’t know the stats or don’t believe them. And the implications are, it’s all the man’s fault for not stepping up, and it’s everybody’s fault for not embracing God in their relationships. While the latter is true, the former certainly is questionable. A man can only do what he is allowed to do. The men that want to step up are usually chosen last, and the men who never wanted to step up in the first place are chosen first. Do these people not realize that it’s the woman that chooses who she wants to be with?
I was just researching hunting trips in Tennessee that I would want to go on in the future. A trip like that for a three day weekend would cost me about $5000. If i was married, do you think I would be going on that hunting trip?? Everything that i want to do, i can do much quicker if i’m not married. I want to fix up a truck with Aftermarket parts and take it to an auto show. Do you think a wife would let me buy thousands of dollars in parts?? Why would you want to live your life with some woman telling you what to do. What’s wrong with having one or two vehicles and a nice house on a few acres of land. And live comfortably, building your investment portfolio so you don’t have to work forever. Can someone tell me why i should let go of my goals just to take on a bill that can never be paid, and make an investment(kids), that will never bring a good return on my investment.
Some of this s~~~ is common sense, if you know there is a strong possibility that something will negatively affect you, shouldn’t you avoid it?? If you know most marriages end in divorce and it’s always the man that takes the biggest hit in the divorce, shouldn’t you avoid it?? What’s wrong with thinking about things, and making decisions that are in your best interest? Why sign up to put yourself at a disadvantage. All those old men tell stories about how their wives won’t let them do certain things, or they have to ask permission before they do anything. But they still tell the younger generation that marriage is the best option?? But of course, the wife is always right. These are people who let emotion supersede logic and reasoning, and you cannot reason with some one who refuses to listen. Maybe it’s jealousy, how dare you get to make a smart decision based off of my mistake. If i had to get married, you have to as well. Misery loves company, and no better example of that than marriage.
Can someone please explain this???
