It's always the "good gender role" that men have vs the "bad gender role" that women have. They never consider that sitting at home, pursuing art, raising and teaching the kids, and keeping the home clean and fed is actually pretty rewarding and nice. Those are the sorts of activities that are directly tied to live and it's continuation. Some traditionally-male labor is the rewarding sort, where you get to design and build things, and you get to see that what you are doing is making the world be…

These women got what they wanted. They lived off a man for years and years, had their kids, sat home, did whatever. Their husband went to work and worked 12 hours, six days a week not including work social events. Now he's retired and ready to do stuff with his wife, but she wants to keep doing what she was doing without her inconvenient husband so she leaves. American women do the same thing. They get married, have their kids, raise the kids until the youngest one is in school full time, go bac…

I have lived in a lot of rough places, and seen a lot of really shitty things happen to people. The #1 rule I've learned is to not call the cops. They might show up anyway, but if things are going bad cut your losses and focus on getting yourself out safely. Don't call the cops, or there is a high possibility of you going home. If someone else calls the cops, you don't talk to them for any reason. They can legally or otherwise haul you off and put you in a cell for the rest of your life or just …

For a woman like that who'd take the bear, I'd just assume she's gotten free dinner so much that there's good odds that the man would be one who has reason to be pissed at her for being used. It just goes to show the transactional nature of how some women have relationships.

Sigh. If you buy a house at $500k then wait 12 years and your house is not worth about a million dollars, then it didn't increase in value by 6.09% every year, now did it? If those are the reported numbers, then either a house worth $500 is worth a million in 12 years or someone is lying, because that's the math. It's basic math: 500,000 * 1.060912 (the value of the house, multiplied by the yearly increase in value, repeated for the number of years) is about a million dollars.

Until you have a wind storm and need to put on a roof. Or your HVAC starts short cycling, your energy costs skyrocket, your house is cold for a week, and now you have to spend $20k on a new system. Honestly, I'd still generally rather have an apartment I can walk away from to take a better job. While houses are supposed to increase in value, if you have deferred maintenance, that comes out of the purchase price. How much you can get a buyer to pay is also an interesting equation - if you have a …

The land being the most expensive is neither here nor there, it's the interest rate on the mortgage that matters. As for public transit, that REALLY depends on where you are in the UK. I know in the US, many jobs will not hire you if you do not have a license and a car. Hell, I had a buddy who worked at KFC who had his manager-to-be take a look at his jalopy before he could be hired.

Well, a car IS a pretty good investment. A car can get you to work and home, and can increase your range. A car can be used to move to a different town, where you can get more money. Of my last four moves, three were done in a Ford Focus hatchback exclusively, so were essentially free (the most recent involved renting a truck for some larger furniture, but that still didn't cost all that much really). I've moved seven or eight times in the last 25 years. If I had to pick between having a car, wh…

Depends on your interest rate. If your rate is lower than what you can get from index funds or some other investment scheme, then investing is better for you in the long run. For many people, this will be the case. For an example, my investments generally do better than 7%, and some years they do as well as 12%. My interest rate on my mortgage is under 3%. Putting a single extra penny into the house is a mistake. I'd say as long as your rate is under 5% you are better off investing. Now, that ca…

That is a thing that happens. At the very least, other women will give her the side-eyes over that kind of thing. Dude, she's not only doing it as a favor to him she wants him to have a more active role with it To me, it read more like she regrets her decision to take over the money thing, because he considers it a solved problem and doesn't think about it and she doesn't like having full responsibility because it's work she has to do.

I did read the article. I feel like Lee is simply parroting what he has been told about himself. Honestly, I think he was making very good decisions: he had a small loan for car (less than $10k), nothing was said about credit card debt, and he was living with parents and sharing bills while working full time, even if it was very low income. The car loan isn't so bad, and many jobs will not hire you if you can't get to work (which is the whole point of a car). Sarah was working part time with an …

Well, a marriage is supposed to be a partnership and the lines of the partnership should be flexible and negotiable upfront, but pretty static after they are set and the ceremony completed. I don't see a problem in a couple choosing to have one partner manage the money. They did negotiate this before getting married, so... there you go. And he seems cool with it. What bothers me is that he was clearly making better money decisions: staying at home, only having one fairly small loan (in dollars, …

That'd be great, except I know software developers who make six figures ($259k+) who still work a second job.

The women that complain are always obese, too. Thin, fit people don't have much fat insulation so they can warm themselves up quickly with a warm drink and a sweater or cool down by sitting and relaxing for a moment. People who carry significant muscle generate extra heat automatically, but they can shed it pretty efficiently too. People carrying a bunch of body fat can't warm up or cool down quickly. Fat men have the same issue, but I find that women are just in general more likely to complain …

Women want to control when and how we cum. There used to be all sorts of anti masturbation things on the market targeted at mothers of boys. Masturbation has always been something that is frowned upon, something immoral that you aren't supposed to do, because women (the longstanding arbiters of what is socially acceptable and correct) don't like it. It's as simple as that. Choosing to stay single and masturbate using free porn is a rebellion against the norms that women have dictated to us. Why …

Most women are only interested in sex with the most attractive of men, if they are actually interested in sex at all. Realistically, most of us are not and never will be those men. Women have sex to secure financial security and have children mainly. Some women want sex for the sake of it, or at least they say they do, but I'm not so sure myself. Start looking at marriage not as a romantic relationship but a business partnership. Marriage for common goals: raising of children, pooling of wealth …

If you want to keep working there, apologize and play the game. You don't have to mean it, you have to sound like you do. From there, start looking for new work and drop them without a 2 weeks notice, without explaining why you are leaving. If you do choose to stay, you have that woman's number - both her, and HR.

I don't disagree. American Millennial men are a unique demographic living in a unique time. We received sex education as teens so we learned a few things fairly young, before full sexual maturity: Sex makes babies. If you don't have sex, you don't have babies. If you use birth control, like pills or condoms, then you significantly reduce the risk of pregnancy. Girls who get pregnancy can still have an abortion. Birth control is not morally corrupt or evil in and of itself; but bringing a kid int…

The tree is 100% better to talk to in most cases. The tree can't involuntarily commit you. The tree isn't going to take things you said in confidence and spread them around among her friends, because she thinks how you feel is of no consequence. The tree isn't going to bring that shit up the second there's a disagreement. The tree isn't going to turn everything into a pathology.

Nah, they don't even want that. They might think one thing, but they want you to think something specific. Here's another example. A woman might think something like... "Manly men like steak." She might not like steak herself, but she needs for YOU to like steak. She may even be vegetarian or vegan even, and want to chastise you for being a meat eater. Because she wants to see you a a manly man, who eats steak. Ultimately, she wants to project a specific image onto men (or a man), then feel righ…

They want you to have the opinion they think you have, rather than the one you actually hold. Women think we are simple, thoughtless creatures. They don't understand that we think and consider and synthesize our own ideas. They think we should just take the opinions we are given and absorb them and that's that.

Not only that, but for the first part of a child's life women are encouraged to breast feed. Once you start doing a thing like caring for your kid full time, giving that up gets harder and harder the more attached you are. Once you start down a path in life, you are likely to continue it. I think that's mainly it.

Oh that rabbit hole gets deeper. When you do your retirement planning as a married man with an advisor, the advisor first assumes that both the man and the woman will live until age 99, and he will work out a retirement plan around that - usually with the assumption that at least one of us will work until 72. When I talk to my advisor, I tell him to plan for me to live at most to age 80, and I want to plan for my retirement to start at age 55. Why? Because zero people in the previous two generat…

Because of the stigma in most cultures, reported suicide rates ARE going to be artificially low. Many suicides will be deemed death by misadventure or accident rather than what they really were.

Because their solution to suicide is twofold: First, they want to take away the means, in the hopes that making it more difficult to actually perform the act will prevent deaths. It... won't. They don't understand just how easy it is. Their other solution they've come up with is to make you accept your suffering. This is what all the talk therapy is, this is what all the drugs are for.

Exactly this. Additionally, people who know that hard work will not result in any sort of reward will not work hard.

We have spent the last 200 years teaching women to take some responsibility for their own safety, and women by their nature are risk averse. This was inevitable.

There's one more thing NOT on her list that I think should be: women aren't taking care of themselves. I look around where I live and where I grew up, and the majority of the women are overweight to obese. Even the 19-22 year old women who could otherwise be attractive have already ruined their bodies. Additionally, many women are forgoing basic hygiene and don't even try to dress themselves attractively. I don't mean revealingly, either.

When men have to take accountability for women's bad behavior with no benefits for doing so, they are going to choose to not have relationships with women. And that's exactly what's happening. When women get victim blamed they bitch and moan about it (because we give them sympathy).

Yet, if we, as men say "Hey, If you are over 80kg (176lbs) do not apply" we get chewed out and called "Fatphobes" or told that we are being "Controlling" etc.. See, it's not even that. You can just quietly choose not to date those women. But, once you are in a committed relationship, you know there's a good chance she is going to gain weight. Potentially a lot of it.

Well, some of that is old regulation. 40 hours is 8 hours a day, five days a week, which has been the definition of full time in the US for a very long time. It's also somewhat state by state, in many places if you work for 37 hours or more (something like that anyways) regularly you have a case that you are full time and eligible for the sort of mandatory benefits that workplaces have to give.

When someone is gaining weight, working out doesn't help. You can't outrun or outlift a diet. When people are overeating, it's usually not just a little bit. Women, in my experience, have less self control than men when it comes to diet. They also have a lower TDEE.

If you can't do it by being a cute little kid, or an attractive young woman, then you try negative behaviors. Men kill themselves because they look at their own future and see 20ish years of struggling to get started followed by 40 years of labor followed by death or irrelevance, and they say "why bother with any of it? I'd rather skip it and get to th…

Agreed. The rules for marriage should be very simple: one and done. This is how I would set things up: You are encouraged to get married. Society should be designed around the expectation that people marry and then have children. If you are married, then you are allowed to get divorced. There is no sense forcing people to stay in a bad situation, or even one that they no longer wish to be in, even when children are involved. But, if you initiate a divorce, you should be permanently banned from e…

If they sell it to him, then they can go through the legal process to get the same declaration made for men. If they refuse to sell to him, then they have a discrimination suit set up.

The way those men did therapy isn't the way therapy is done now. If you talk to anyone who works in that sort of business, the first thing they will suggest is that those guys had no idea what they were doing and if you try to perform psychoanalysis the way they did then you are a quack.

Look, you've already won half the battle. I'm not voting for Trump, that's a given. All you need to do is make me not hate your candidate, so that I don't choose to not vote for YOU too. That's it.

I've read Mistborn, and in fact I am a big Sanderson fan, and Vin is the MC and a woman so the book fails my test. The series would have been better if Spook and Marsh, and maybe Breeze, had been the primary POV characters, instead of being secondary POVs until the third book. They would have been very different books, but better I think.

Another thing we need to remember is that women control language. If that sounds odd to you, remember that we largely learn to speak from our mothers, then our vocabulary expands under our female teachers during our education. It's women who teach us what words are acceptable and which words are slurs and are off limits. They teach us how to pronounce words and how to spell and write them. There are some easy examples of how this affects us. Men in their natural circumstance will regularly use l…

If you still get along socially and do literally everything together but neither of you want sex, then you are still compatible and there is no reason to change anything.

That’s the thing: you can say no, but you better not always be saying no. If you always say no, then he’s going to turn to something else. Maybe you are both OK with this in your relationship, but that needs to be an active discussion and not something that sorta happens.

In any relationship you have to be able to assert yourself and say no. You have to do that during the dating phase once or twice - say no, that you just don’t want to. And you want to make sure she also can say no and that you will respect it. The answer can’t always be no though. In fact, without good reason, you should be saying yes.

Because the people who have time to consume media and are consuming new media rather than older stuff created a generation ago are kids, and the person who is OK'ing media purchases and choices is Mom in the vast majority of circumstances. So, if you want eyeballs on your movie, music, or whatever random piece of pop culture, you need to appeal to Mom. One of the easiest ways to get there is by paying loose lip service to feminism.

Rather than being drafted, they should be expected to marry injured veterans who come back and are successful at war then raise the next generation of men to fight. But, while men are press ganged into fighting, suggesting that women actually bother to do THEIR duty and create then raise the next generation is horrible and gross to people.

The strict dress code is a boon. We know what we have to wear, and that's that. There's no questioning and no figuring out what to wear on a given day. I work from home, and I sorta do the same: I have two pairs of jeans and five buttonup shirts, one for each day of the week. I also have two sweaters. I also have a suit in case I need something more formal. That's all I need really.

I have to wonder how much of this is older men who are married being more likely to seek medical assistance and treatment.

For a lot of reasons, but I think the main one is money. Men aren't going to go into a profession where you need to have a masters degree and your salary tops out under $100k. You can make a lot more money with a lot less education, and remember that education probably comes with a ton of debt. Many women who want to be independent will avoid teaching for the same reason, except perhaps as a fallback profession when they can't get another job. But there are a lot of women who aren't independent …

It's because the teaching methods aren't engaging the male students, and the food being provided by the school is not suitable or sufficient for a boy.

Many college campuses are now disallowing things like Fraternities (the term itself means men only). At the public school level, except for boy's sports, there is nothing that is boys only. If you want a boys or men's only club, you have to create a club specifically with a group of your male friends, and that's the club and never allow anyone els…

Why would they? The exwife and he family got what they want: most likely, his life insurance payout if he has one will go to her. If he has any assets, they will go to her. She wanted his money, and she now has it. The legal system wanted him to give her all his money. The society in general wanted that too. Sadly, society wants this to happen. The man is vestigial. Society wraps a metaphorical tourniquet around him and cuts him off from any sort of social support until he falls off dead.

Well, OK. I can sort of concede that. I'll still argue that for an experiment to have a valid finding it really does need a control of some sort.

Just like it does with the drug trade. We have to be very careful when we make something so easily accessible illegal because the endgame is…

Their strategy will be to go into a community, ask who the troublesome men are, ask for the women to make accusations, document that as evidence, then make those men disappear. If anyone asks about how these men were identified, they will waive their hands and say "it's a counterterrorism tactic and our methods are state secret." And if you speak out, then you are next.

This is hardwired into their brains the same way being attracted to large breasts and curvy hips are hardwired into ours More like having somewhat swollen breasts and a hip to waist ratio where the hips are somewhat wider than the waist.

The trick is to look for fat around the face and neck. You can push your chin forward so that your double chin is hidden, but if the base of the neck is really thick, the fingers aren't thin, or there is a lot of fat in the cheeks then you can sort of judge it based on that. Shoulders, too - women don't generally have wide shoulders, so if they fill the frame or are particularly rounded, she's probably fat.

Absolutely, yes. And you should. You should have realistic standards for what she looks like and what her family is like. If her parents are divorced then she isn't marriage material, for one, and you want to make sure her mom didn't get fat and ugly or she will too. What she looks like today matters, but how she ages matters a LOT more. That said, never, ever, ever, provide a reason for a breakup and never, ever, ever talk about your standards in a way where your real name is attached.

My opinion is that most women don't actually want sex all that much. To get a better idea, go look up lesbian bed death.

For both abortion and vasectomy, the partner needs to be notified and given the opportunity to express an opinion. Now - there is no requirement that an expressed opinion needs to be respected, but if you choose not to listen to your partner about that sort of thing you should expect to end up divorced. If one of you wants children and the other does not, that's the sort of difference that a relationship cannot and probably should not survive through.

Yeah I'll take relationship advice from someone who has clearly successful relationships with people who aren't degenerates. Her soulmate is Machine Gun Kelly and she thinks she knows something about a healthy relationship? Nothing about that guy says healthy.

Does she need to be permanently committed to a facility for the criminally insane? Whatever the answers to those are, they aren't so…

Maybe, just maybe, her woo-woo beliefs led her down a path where she started to believe her own bullshit, leading to a mental break when she was experiencing some mental health issues relating to having a kid. When you lose your shit, it's rarely one thing. It's a series of things that, for whatever reason, you weren't able to deal with them.

I don't want feminists or the women's movement trying to help boys.

That's pretty boneheaded. It's stupid that we have to operate this way but if you wouldn't say it in front of the most prudish grandmother on the planet, you shouldn't be saying it at work.

This is basically it. The "Do you want kids" discussion should actually be happening before any sexual contact at all. It's a difficult conversation, but not really a time consuming one in the grand scheme of things. I think it took my wife and I maybe 20 minutes to come to an agreement on how things were going to work between us in that regard. Think about it: do you want to be getting emotionally involved with someone who has significantly different life goals than you? You probably don't. You…

Honestly, I have been through a lot of resumes and I would never, ever, ever choose to hire based on a resume alone. By the time I see a resume, it's been through the recruiters who have done some initial due diligence. I read the resume, and 90% of the time I'll choose to do a screener interview. 30 minutes is enough time for two questions if the person is intelligent, and that's all I need to decide if I went to set up a tech interview. In that 30 minutes, my only goal is to determine if they …

It’s normal to step outside while fat. We need to face that most of us are at least overweight, many are obese, and very few people are truly fit and capable. If you are fit and a healthy weight, people will see you as too thin most of the time. Expecting people to be able to do normal things like walking around town all day, going for a run in the park, having a swim, paddling a canoe for an hour or two… it’s nearly too much for many people.

Exactly. Attraction is biology. When you are actually physically attracted to someone, it's your sex hormones at work. You can't completely override that reaction through the sheer power of intellect. You can deny it, you can work around it, you can pretend otherwise, but it takes a VERY strong will to do that.

You aren't wrong - everyone will have periods of their life where they are single, or times when even when in a couple they need to be able to cook and clean and care for kids. Even if you don't have kids of your own, you are going to have to occasionally deal with them occasionally and having those skills is part of being a well rounded individual. That said, being in a couple is useful because you can now divide labor. One spouse working inside the home to cook, clean, and manage domestic task…

My advice to young men is to stay a virgin and marry a virgin. A person who sleeps around a lot is inviting false accusations, children, and disease.

Half of the women are overweight Half? Most, if not all. If you want to date a girl who hasn't gotten fat yet you darn near need to date someone just out of high school. They go to college or move out of their parent's place and their diet immediately goes to shit. Guys do this too but they get lambasted for it. Men are neckbeards and incels if they get fat and wear a beard and hat, women who don't take care of themselves are practicing self care and being body positive. Men at least have a cult…

Anyone who is surprised that a group of sexually frustrated young men are angry that they want something but don't have access to it need to re-evaluate their expectations for people. Don't tolerate their bullshit, call them out on their strange ideas, but approach them with some compassion and don't make assumptions about what they believe or think.

It can help us achieve happiness if we use it correctly. Marriage is a highly formal ritual for obtaining consent for an ongoing relationship from your spouse, her family, and the community surrounding both of you. Wedding ceremonies are traditionally held in the community church and announced publicly in the newspaper, so everyone in the community knows who is and is not married. You can use this ritual to vet the person you want to have sex with before doing so. Talk to her father, mother, and…

Maybe, and I don't doubt that they exist, but that doesn't negate my point. Women tend to go to the Gynecologist every year - the women in my family do, my girlfriends all have, my wife does. I've never been to a doctor that has tested my sperm levels or my testosterone levels or done any sort of reproductive health screening on me.

So there are some things you can do that are pretty easy, and applicable to your own family. Encourage the men in your family to be getting their health checked out frequently, including necessary screenings for things like colon cancer and prostate cancer. Men don't have specialists specifically for them. It's common for women to go to a gynecologist every year, and that gets them in the habit and mindset of getting regular checkups. Many men will have their last visit to the doctor around the …

My experience with pain is that doctors rarely try to figure out what's causing it. They guess, then give you addictive narcotic painkillers.

No offense but sitting in front of a screen for 6 hours alone doesn’t sound rewarding at all. I have a good job, a house, and a life that is well organized and regulated. Part of that organization is making sure I have time for recreation and fun. That six hours wasn't without breaks. On it's own? No. But hey, I went on to beat a video game (and went on to beat several others) that are heralded as a being particularly challenging.

Rejecting people who have the same sorts of problems that you do from participating in one potential partial solution for those problems is counterproductive. Same goes for trans people, as far as I care. Nobody CHOOSES that shit, and life in general is hard enough that we don't need to make it worse unless someone's getting hurt.

Because they know that it's an insult that under the right circumstances will control your interactions with the opposite sex and ensure you don't get laid in the long term. Women decide how they feel about specific men based on what other women think. If June thinks Tim is potentially interesting but Judy doesn't like him because he's got a wart on his nose and both June and Judy are in the same clique, then June will avoid Tim simply because Judy doesn't like him.

The father should get to have an opinion, and the mother should weigh his opinion strongly when making her choice. Ultimately, though, the choice does need to lie with the mother. I don't have a problem with the woman making the decision, I just have a problem with her doing so with no input whatsoever from the father of the child. He should get to speak his peace. Often, the decision to abort has nothing to do with the mother's willingness to carry to term or give birth. Much of the time it has…

“The kids had to go to the same school district they’re in; [switching school districts] just wasn’t an option for me,” Davis says. “I didn’t want to put them in an uncomfortable situation.” Well, then YOU made the decision to go that route and limit your options. You can also start the process and buy the new house when prices are at their lowest, then move during the next summer and move them for the new school year if you ABSOLUTELY don't want to move them in the middle of the school year. If…

Heh. I don't drink at all, and I don't like hanging out with people who drink. I also cook and I am very careful about the portions I eat, I need to be with someone who is willing to eat homemade meal prepped food every single day under normal circumstances. I need someone who isn't going to blast through the house and eat everything, and I am not willing to live in a house that has liquor at all. If you are going to be with me, that's what I want. Thankfully, my wife is on board with all of tha…

The problem here is that the generic, ungendered product will be labeled "male" or for men. The specialty product with the extra pink rubber grip or with the curved molding to make it nicer, or with the feminine scent will cost more because it cost more because the audience is smaller and it's more costly to manufacture. Of course, there is stuff specifically for men that ALSO costs more. You can find soaps and razors specifically for men and they will be similar in price. Of course, these thing…

Honestly, I am at a point of let them commit suicide if they want. That's pretty horrible of me perhaps, but think of it this way: therapy for men basically doesn't exist. It's all by women and for women. Their big plan for solving the suicide problem is to take away the means and drug people into complacency without addressing the underlying problems. That's not a solution.

Honestly, the only thing ANYONE can control is their own behavior, and perhaps who they associate with.

Even then I'm not gonna use it unless it's an emergency. All it takes is one girl or woman to be in the bathroom, forget to lock the door, and scream when I open it and walk in. It's even worse in a "gender neutral" multi-person bathroom. All it takes is one woman to turn and gasp or scream and then the police are gonna be on their way, and that will be that. For me, unless it says "men's room" clearly on it or it's inside my house, I'm not using it. I'd rather walk into the woods.

If I wasn't going to be cared for and I was looking forward to a life of pain and suffering with no relief, then yes. Ultimately, none of us ask to be brought into this world. It's a decision our parents made selfishly. Maybe killing a zygote is murder. Maybe it's a mercy in a lot of cases. If a person's very existence is to be resented by those who created it as might happen in the case where an abortion wasn't allowed, the risk is that they will be neglected and their poor childhood will lead …

Tortured, and not even allowed the escape of death. Wow. You WILL live. you WILL follow the will of your overlords. You will die on OUR schedule, when we have tortured you enough.

I think your best bet is to go live alone north of the Arctic Circle. In those places there are technically laws and they are technically part of various countries, but really nobody is going to do anything to you because getting to you is more effort than it's worth.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
