I am a middle aged man who has been married three, YES THREE, times in my life. I thought all of you may like to hear my assessment of what I have learned in my past three marriages. While not an exhaustive list, I think I’ve touched on most of the important points. Trust me, all women are the same. In all three of my marriages I have experienced the same psychotic characteristics over and over and over again. Admittedly, I was a slow learner and made the same mistake several times, but I did finally learn my lesson.

They are fickle. You cannot trust their decisions because their decisions will always change. And if they find themselves unhappy in a situation of their choosing, it will be the man’s responsibility to dig them out of their hole. If you get frustrated or angry about this, you will be the villain.

They are entitled. Whether you like it or not and no matter how “independent” they think they are, they look to you as a surrogate father. In their eyes, your responsibility is to serve them and make them happy. If you fail to satisfy them in any way, they WILL turn on you and blame you for their unhappiness. And they will go elsewhere in search of a replacement parent if you fail.

They will attempt to separate you from your friends and family. When you are in a relationship with them, they demand to be the center of your universe. They are your best friend and will not accept anyone else coming between them and their property (you). Until, of course, they get tired of you. They will demean, criticise and debase your friends and family relationships. And if you do not heed their opinions, YOU are warned for taking sides and YOU will be at fault.

Similarly, they will attempt to separate you from any hobby or enjoyment that you may have. Again, if they are not the center of attention, they will feel threatened and will attempt to extract that part of you from your life. They will use descriptors like “childish” or “a waste of time” or “useless” to argue their position in an attempt to make you feel like less of a man.

They manipulate. They will use your weaknesses against you. If you fear loneliness they will threaten to leave. If you fear darkness, they will turn off the light. Never allow your weaknesses to be seen by a woman. If you do they will be filed away and catalogued for later use.

After childbirth they loose any reason or social grace they may have had beforehand. Avoid mothers by all means!! They become completely unaware of what is happening around them and will find no issue with standing in the middle of a busy street while others wait for them. Furthermore, they become blind to the actions of their progeny. Every wrong their children do can be excused to the detriment to their child and everyone around them.

They will never admit being wrong and it’s not worth your time to try and argue. You WILL fail. As stereotypical as it might seem, in their eyes, the woman is always right. And if you are able to argue them into a logical corner, they gas light and pretend not to remember their initial position.

They are expensive. They have no concept of the simple pleasures in life. Living, to them, means the most expensive car, the shiniest clothing, and the largest home. While single, I could easily live on $1000 a month. Married, at times my budget was as high as $10,000 a month.

They are narcissistic. Their level of self interest and selfishness never fails to astound me. They may feign empathy towards others (or you), but I have never seen a heart as cold as that of a woman. They are cruel, self serving creatures.

Bottom line, I have given women the benefit of the doubt many times, and every time, without exception, I have been burned. It took me many years and half of my life to learn that time spent with a woman is time wasted. But, finally I have learned. Don’t make the same mistakes I have made. Stay away from them and live your own lives the way you wish to live them. Cheers!
