I'm old, been married twice, the current one is considered good by today's standards. I've noticed women have to express emotions. That's a problem. They cry, yell, scream, plead, but then at some point they get it out and they become tolerable for a short while as their emotions build up again. Back in the '40s and '50s, fathers and husbands would spank them to get the emotions out. The woman could scream, cry, beg, plead, but at some point she was tired and contrite. Perhaps that's all they need. They usually felt better, at least for a while.

I've also observed that if I wasn't married and I didn't have kids, I would have a pile of money I could spend in my old age. Kids, especially girls, latch on to your wallet and just won't let go. And it's always one way. I have yet to even hear of an adult child asking a dad if there's something the kid could do for the father. It's always the other way, regardless of the age.

Women are never happy, and they don't know what they want, but you're responsible for both situations and you better fix them. I think men are willing to marry more than once because you can tell your friends that she's not like all the other women. And she isn't. Until you marry, then she gets like all the other women.

They all want kids. I think there's two reasons for that. The first, and most important one, is to get her hooks into the guy for years. She'll be able to yank his chain whether they're married or not, no matter how far apart they live. The second is so she'll have something to constantly bitch about. especially to other mothers.
