What is commitment?

This is a good video. I lol'd at "the vaginally-endowed". I like how he talks about the psychological manipulation and mischaracterization of men.

I would add that, as a rule, women and men simply use words differently. It's important for men to understand this. For instance, the word "friend". Just look at adolescent girls. They go through "friends" like boys go through socks. But, each time they have a new "friend" (before one stabs the other in the back), they are talking it up as if they are truly good, loyal friends.

Women's use of the word "commitment" is similar to how they use "friend". To most men, words like "friend" or "commitment" might suggest having fun or even gaining status, but they also suggest obligation and personal sacrifice. Not so for women, especially when it comes to dealing with men.

Commitment for them means "Right now, I want your company. Right now, I will talk it up like I"m reliable and loyal to you. Right now, I will butter your ego, etc... But, when things get difficult or I get bored, I'm tossing you away like yesterday's newspaper and you better not make a big deal of it or I will play the victim and go after your sanity and reputation." All women know this about each other. They tend to be very cautious and mistrustful with one another. Men, on the other hand, often have no idea about this secret codespeak women use. Men, as a rule, are more honest and straightforward people. This shadowy world of deceit and misdirection is beyond their normal level of perception. All I can say is, "start learning now fellas".

I'm just finishing up a book right now called "Odd Girl Out" by Rachel Simmons. I recommend it for any men's rights person. It's a feminist book so you have to take parts of it with a grain of salt. But, the insight into female misbehavior and tactics is quite good. Another good book is "That Bitch!" by Roy Sheppard and Mary Cleary. Finally, "The Emotional Terrorist and the Violence-Prone" by Erin Pizzey is excellent.
