You don't reinforce it by becoming the kind of guy she doesn't want to send pictures to. Fawning over her lets her set the frame. As my buddy once said, act like you've seen better. Mild teasing, at best "not bad, lol" or "forgot to shave". If her face isn't visible, text back "who is this?".

Women lie about their sexual history? Who knew? women who thought their answers might be read reported an average of 2.6 sexual partners. But those who thought they were monitored by a lie detector reported an average of 4.4 sexual partners. Women who were not attached to the lie detector, but who had privacy during testing, gave answers in the middle – an average of 3.4 sexual partners.

It's pretty easy to find pharmaceutical grade Indian or Chinese testosterone at $50 for 10ml of 250 mg/ml. Given that clinical dosing runs 100 - 150 mg / week, that's up to a 25 week supply. It's still illegal, but you don't have to settle for 'research grade'.

The Low T Center is a similar racket, but they own the local offices. They do the injection, and run blood tests every four weeks. It's about $400 / month (list price). My insurance covers it except for a 20% coinsurance. FWIW, the testosterone would be less than $20 on the black market.

The corollary is that (many) women rate themselves at least one rung higher than they should. There are two reasons. Many assume men look for the same things they do, so a 40 year old doctor who is a "curvy" 5 expects a male 8 because she's a professional in an good paying high status career. The other reason is that (many) women can catch, but not keep a higher status male. The male currency is long term commitment, not sex. Edit: spelling

I think a reasonable compromise is that the paternity test only be undertaken in matters before a court. In court, paternity should never be assumed. In my state, the state already requires testing for 30+ medical conditions, genetic typing for both the parents wouldn't be that hard. Another solution based on the honor system, with teeth.

Yes, the thing with approach anxiety is to remember while your balls may climb up into your body to hide, they will eventually come back out. That, and no one ever really dies of embarrassment, just wishes,they could. I find it hard to approach strangers for anything nontrivial.

Look at a picture of Mick Jagger. Look at pictures of his ex wives in their prime - Jerry Hall, Bianca Jagger. Consider the millions of young women who would trample kittens to get in his bed. Looks count, but not as much as we men fear. Actor Mickey Rooney was 5' 2" tall, and had seven wives. Tall counts, but not as much as we men fear.

Why not both? Many women don't know why they sort guys into "friend" and "fuckable". She realizes she's just not attracted to him, knows he's the sort of nice boyfriend everyone says she should want, and rationalizes that she's broken from the abuse. Women play by a slightly different set of stated rules then men, but don't necessarily see the true game board either.

Sadly, much of the time we think we've "blown it for all time", we weren't even on the radar. You may be thinking your past disclosures disqualify you because she was the center of your attention. It's possible that from her solipsistic vantage point, she was the star, and you were an audience member, not costar. You could have been just another orbiter, and your secrets went in one ear and out the other. Use the past to start over. You have nothing to lose.

Find out what she wants, and give it to her incompletely. It helps if you had sisters. If she's fishing for a compliment, poke fun at that characteristic instead.

I'm stealing this. I had some woman try to shame me with "why would paternity matter? I would love a stepchild just like my own". I explained that it was different for men, probably for social and biological reasons. She went on about the moral superiority of women (ha!). Finally, I asked, "so if you were married, and your husband had an affair, and had a kid, you'd be ok with raising it as your own?" "Oh, no, if he cheated I'd kick him out!"

It is rational to be concerned about marriage, since the advent of Marriage 2.0. That doesn't mean marriage is automatically a losing game for all men and women.

I have often been tempted to stomp on the ant mound on April Fool's day. I'd fake, and release, a press release from a scientist at a top notch school like Harvard Medical School. I'd announce a urine-based test for female infidelity that detected "stranger" male DNA. A male, then a female urinate on a small device similar to a pregnancy test.

In Ohio, you're actually better off unmarried. If married, you are the imputed (assumed) parent unless you dispute it and facts prove otherwise. If unmarried, you're not the father until you sign an affidavit claiming to be, or a test shows you are. The Enforcement division at least requires Certified Mail or Personal Service by the County Sheriff.

He could well be fucked. In some states, you only have a limited time - one, two, or five years, to dispute paternity. I'm not a lawyer, but I believe that's from the birth of the child, regardless of whether you were notified or not. Even if it required that he be notified, she's only got to con him for a year or two, and he is stuck.

Some believe in lifelong monogamy for religious reasons. Many believe, not necessarily in lifelong marriage, but in marriages until the children are adults.

Deferring is perhaps not precise enough. One 'showed courtesy' to women and children as higher status to lower status, a noble gesture; to a preacher, older man, or military person as a sign of respect. But a man of the same age was an equal, and holding the door could imply he was of lower status. So I try to make it a friendly courtesy, as you say, not a formal ritual.

Beta (or beta-like) behaviors are used tactically to keep the team running efficiently; communication and consensus are increasingly important going from Pump -> LTR -> Married. Alpha is used to set and maintain frame, and to provide reassurance; to lead, not to undermine. Remember many practitioners of Married game grew up in Marri…

Good point on Nice Guy. It's written to not scare off betas/needy guys. There were lots of Aha! moments. Married Man Love Life and The Five Love Languages can also be good introductions. Although they're written for LTR / marriages, they get you to think about what women really want, versus what they say they want, versus what you want to give.

I'm 50. Holding a door for a male my age or younger goes against the implied hierarchy we were taught is polite (good manners taught that men defer to women, children, their elders, the differently-abled; and were deferred to by younger men, with exceptions for social status and profession). I was raised in the '60's and '70's, in a military environment, where politeness was more formal.

The rules are bizarre in a typically bureaucratic way. If the marriage lasted at least 10 years, then ended in divorce, and the spouse earned enough social security credits, when the spouse dies, the survivor qualifies for benefits at age 60. If the survivor remarries after 60, it does not affect those benefits. You received benefits for a similar reason he had enough social security credits, and died.

Under US law, it is legal for insurance companies to charge male drivers more based on actuarial risk. (On the average, male drivers are more likely to have an accident than women; the effect is more pronounced for the very young and very old). However, it is illegal for health insurance companies to use gender to determine rates, even though women on the average use more healthcare.

You can't make her leave. If she suggests it, agree. If you tell her to, and she doesn't, you've lost face. You can suggest it, then ignore her if she doesn't. Pick up a book, play a game, anything. The point is not to reward her with attention for behavior you don't like. It's slightly different than dominance - be unshakable, immobile both emotionally and in terms of the decision.

When I was a teenager, my older sister and Dad were arguing about something so trivial I don't even remember what it was. When Dad wouldn't budge, my sister yelled "We'll, you're wrong! And you're not very nice!". Instead of yelling back, my father quietly said, "I don't have to be right, and I sure don't have to be nice. But I do have to be in charge. I have decided, that's the way it's going to be." He stared at her for a minute, she dropped her eyes, and left the room muttering how unfair it …

Read the statistics on domestic violence - the most common scenario is that the DV is mutual. Among PASK’s findings are that, except for sexual coercion, men and women perpetrate physical and non-physical forms of abuse at comparable rates, most domestic violence is mutual, women are as controlling as men, domestic violence by men and women is correlated with essentially the same risk factors, and male and female perpetrators are motivated for similar reasons. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/…

Not. 60+% of divorces are initiated by women, even in the 50+ age group. Taken together, this data soundly disproves the apex fallacy regarding divorce. The common belief that divorce rates are driven by men discarding older wives for a younger model simply doesn’t fit with the data. This is reinforced when you consider that the AARP found that 66% of the divorces in middle age were initiated by women (figure 2 on page 15).

I think the Brits are right. You can be arrested for anything, on little or no evidence. To be charged with a felony, a Grand Jury hears the evidence in secret and decides whether the case can proceed. Keep the arrest silent, but announce the name and charges if the Grand Jury moves the case forward. Originally, the arrest was announced to ensure the defendant was not held in secret. Hopefully our laws and procedures are now sufficient to prevent that.

Many feel that woman's / gender studies mostly indoctrinates - it tells you what to think, but not how to critically examine the premises and conclusions. I'd argue an arts degree is similar, with more concentration on skills - not only how to critically examine art, but specific tec…

Wow, in my state, in order to attend pre-school or Head Start, a child must have been vaccinated for: DPT (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) Polio MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) HEP B (Hepatitis B) Varicella (Chickenpox) Hib (Haemophilus Influenzae Type b) The requirements for first grade and beyond are similar.

It's worse than you think. In my state, you can start the child support process at any time up until 5 years after the child's 18<sup>th</sup> birthday (that is, the child is 23. Don't ask me why they worded it that way). You can contest paternity up until the child's 2<sup>nd</sup> birthday - even if you did not know the child existed until later. IANAL, but I think if you are named as the father after that point, you can contest it, but I'm not sure.

A student convicted of sexual assault and banned from campus by a University of North Dakota (UND) tribunal is free to return to school this week. After a year and a half, UND officials have determined that the university's finding of guilt against student Caleb Warner was "not substantiated" in the face of the evidence.

Well, in any negotiation, you ask yourself, "Is this a dealbreaker for me?". In a long term relationship, you probably aren't going to break up over what restaurant to go to. So if you "let her win" you still have to communicate that that you made the decision, but that you were listening to her.

I live in Ohio - for now. However, reading the study, those estimates are for people who buy on the open market. It does not include those who have employer-provided plans. I suspect those will go up as well, hopefully not as much. If your company doesn't consider health insurance a competitive advantage, I expect they'll pay the $2K penalty, rather than the $10-30K insurance cost, or shift people to part time to avoid it altogether.

Yes. The Society of Actuaries has predicted a 32% increase in claims costs. By 2017, the estimated increase would be 62 percent for California, about 80 percent in Ohio and Wisconsin, more than 20 percent for Florida and 67 percent for Maryland. Much of the reason for the higher claims costs is that sicker people are expected to join the pool, the report said. Claims costs drive premiums.

Sorry, but if Australia is like the US, most domestic violence is mutual. In fact, if only one partner is violent it is more likely to be the woman.

They have the advantage of covering the full range of domestic violence, not just the extremes revealed in homicide statistics or clinical studies. One important limitation is that they may under-report extreme violence, and previous studies in Australia also suffer from having j…

Never let the enemy choose the field of battle. If she gets angry and escalates, go cold and aloof. Stay engaged, but show disdain/be unconcerned about her anger. Figure out what she is getting from the exchange, and deny her it. Many women take the heat of an argument as the measure of a man's commitment. To gain the upper hand, withhold that heat.

But it's people accused of heinous crimes that need protection the most. Just as it is controversial speech, unpopular speech, that requires the First Amendment protection the most.

Not naming the victim is a custom established by the press. In the few cases that it was required by law, the law was struck down as an infringement of the first amendment. State laws have exceptions for minors (as defendants and victims) which have been held constitutional due to the special status of minors.

My Advice: Talk to a lawyer Call around and see what a first appointment will cost. It's also possible that your school, city, or county has a legal clinic for low income people. Also contact the Local Bar Association and see what they suggest. Mention "poor student" often. See A Shrink 4 Men for good advice on dealing with BPD/NPD people in your life.

The other unintended consequence of such a policy is that ex's will not marry, if marriage carries a tax on the new spouse's wages. Also, remember that this cuts both ways: in most states a new wife's wages cannot be used to increase the amount of child support owed for a prior marriage.
/r/MensRights07/03/13 05:40 PM

No, because child support is for the child. What makes sense is the default to be equal physical custody, with child support used only if the parents voluntarily choose less-than-equal physical custody. Family courts do not acknowledge that "the best interests of the child" are to have two active, engaged parents, not a caregiver and a wage slave.

That despite the fact that health insurance also had that and benefited women. Actually, the change in car insurance came about because of the health insurance parity.

I'm betting there are many non-gender reasons. For instance, were salaries adjusted for hours worked? Male doctors tend to work more hours than female.

I realize that's a British site, but in US legal thought, the belief is that a public trial is a safeguard against any attempt to employ our courts as instruments of persecution.

One theory is that PUA is about pursuit, and women are socialized to be pursued. I suspect it's more they're socialized to *not seem to be pursuing". Also found this guide for Female PUA: Q. How can a girl be a pickup artist? A: Have a vagina. Go where there are men. Wait.

I don't think it will be cancelled; I think it will be whitewashed. Notice in the article, Erin is controversial for allowing men to staff dv shelters, not for pointing out that women were as violent as men. Expect to see similar revisionism in the film - want to bet that film Erin battles male politicians and male traditionalists, while those early feminists were just trying to protect innocent victims, and may have erred on the side of caution by keeping all (demonized) men out of the shelters…

It's difficult to unionize industries that don't have lots of workers per employer. Fishermen and loggers tend to be independent contractors or small business men; miners and pilots may or may not have a union, but the job is still risky.

Sounds right: Issues can arise when an individual signs a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity, and then later learns that he is not the father of the child. In most states, voluntary acknowledgements of paternity can be withdrawn by either the mother or father of the child within a short time period after they are signed (typically 60 days). After that time period, it is much more difficult to withdraw a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity. At this point, voluntary acknowledgements of pate…

The best source of legal advice is your lawyer. That said, as a negotiating position, you might want to go in insisting on recouping the payments, and "give in" and just accept discontinuing current support. Your lawyer has probably already thought of this. Your job is to let him/her know what you will settle for, and how badly you'll fight for it. If it's beyond the negotiation phase, and the court will decide, you're probably out of luck.

Yes. Acting on pedophilia results in harm to a child. Whether by nature or nurture, we apply social stigma to pedophilia in hopes of preventing that harm.

It was important in the first phase of the campaign that we address the reality of sexual violence in Ontario, which is that women are the primary victims of sexual violence at the hands of men. Very artful wording. Not "women are the primary victims of sexual violence" but "women are the primary victims of sexual violence at the hands of men".

What many people overlook is that not all false allegations fall into the "unfounded" category. Brian Banks puts a sympathetic face on those victims of FRA convicted of the charges.

No, strictly speaking, it was battery. Assault is "a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm" and battery is "an intentional unpermitted act causing harmful or offensive contact with the "person" of another." The act must result in one of two forms of contact. Causing any physical harm or injury to the victim—such as a cut, a burn, or a bullet wound—could constitute battery, but actual injury is not required. Even though there is no apparent bruise follo…

Read the paper; it's not misandrist. I can't quote from the pdf at the moment, but they follow the money (rent misappropriation and divorce theft) and even discuss the "well, it must have been something he did". It really does come down to "the person who anticipates custody is the one who files for divorce", and in our culture, that is predominately the female.

Not empirical. The study <pdf here> by Margaret F. Brinig (Notre Dame Law School) and Douglas W. Allen (Simon Fraser University) found Our results are consistent with our hypothesis that filing behavior is driven by self-interest at the time of divorce. Individuals file for divorce when there are marital assets that may be appropriated through divorce, as in the case of leaving when they have received the benefit of educational investments such as advanced degrees. However, individuals may also …

I guess I worded that badly. If the school claims the boys caused the iphone to sync up with the iPad, let the school prove that. I'd bet that an examination by an expert would either show she took the pictures on the iPad, or the itunes (on the teacher's PC/mac) was configured to sync to the iPad. I don't know if it is even possible to sync from iphone to ipad directly; either you sync to iCloud or to iTunes.

In the US, you are either exempt or non-exempt from the laws requiring overtime pay. Most, but not all, exempt employees are paid by salary. Some hourly workers are exempt, and would get regular pay, but not overtime pay.

Except they're probably exempt employees, and don't qualify for overtime. If that weren't the case, the manager would be reminding the women to leave on time, so he wouldn't have to pay overtime.

Our results clearly illustrate that the advantages of living with two continuously married parents are not shared equally by all children. Children from high conflict families (compared to low conflict families) have an increased likelihood of 8 of 10 of our outcomes: dropping out of school, poor grades, smoking, binge drinking, marijuana use, early sex, non-marital fertility, and union dissolution (see Table 1). Parental conflict appears not to be associated with college attendance or early coh…

"Fathers who aren’t head of the household are a very poor substitute for those who are." I took this to mean that single parent households (which are predominately female-parent) are worse for children compared to two-parent households, not that two-parent households with a dominant female are worse than two-parent households with a dominant male. Whether the latter is true or not, the former is becoming the order of things due to the changes described in the article.

Your sexual market value will hold constant for another decade or so, and then drop from there. Harsh reality, but that's not quite the issue here. What has happened is that the sexual market value of all the men your age has been rising since they were 26. . . . You are, in fact, now experiencing what dating was like for men ages 18-25.

Never believe what a person says - judge by what they do. I suspect if you asked women, "Does your current SO have chest hair?" the results would vary based on what is popular in that age/geographic/social group, and not want a woman says she wants. I recall a quote that said that economists had an easier time than psychologists, since an economist's theory was based on what people actually do, not what they say they would do.

How are income taxes inherently regressive? Typically, a tax is defined as regressive if it takes a larger percentage from a low-income person than from high-income person. Income taxes are typically multirate, with higher rates for higher incomes. Flat-rate taxes like sales taxes or single-rate income taxes are regressive.

Love this part: Which is exactly why chivalry is dangerous. Because it blankets itself as courtesy while concealing a dramatic assertion of inequality between the sexes. There’s no way around it – chivalry is about viewing women as fragile, delicate creatures who need special protection, special consideration, and special treatment. Chivalry sets women upon a pedestal. Nice place to start a discussion, despite the use of the P word.

Actually, you're wrong. Abortion is legal in all 50 states. As I noted, states are allowed to restrict abortions, but cannot ban them.

It works for my in-laws. They open about their finances, but decided to change the way they handled expenses after they retired. They split expenses in proportion to their respective incomes and discuss shared expenditures before purchasing anything.

because "fathering children" means providing sperm. Society pays lip service to the importance of fathers but unconsciously denigrates their contributions. Think of "Kramer vs. Kramer" - the father takes a job at lower pay to spend more time with his son, and her attorney asks him if he's "working his way down the ladder of success". A woman in that situation is accorded matyrdom, and praised for putting her child ahead of herself.
