... to be more attractive to the opposite sex.Unfortunately who will be get close enough to smell ? Reading these blogs and the men who write against women in ways that conceal so little aggression and contempt just confirms what many women have felt but could never put their finger on and confirms their choice of cats for companions. The fact that few men here refute the extremists confirms that given a choice most men wil join the mob and not try and

stop other men intent on destruction.

You say it so much better in so many ways than many of us can.I appreciate you informing me of so many things I know viserally but can't articulate and probably wouldn't have the guts too even if I could. I love that you remain coherent amongst so much madness. Madness that is horrifying in its implications for misogynism, and attempts to justify aggression against their sisters, daughters and mothers, because thats who women are.The twisted ways some men see women and seek a forum to spread their contempt is absolutel staggering.Reading their letters is truly disturbing.

"here's a general societal trend that makes women feel guilty for wanting a husband and kids, like they're selling out. We're supposed to have these brilliant, high-powered or splendidly creative jobs that satisfy us completely. Yet the vast majority of women DO want a family. Yet they feel like they have to act cool to avoid scaring guys off, and then they wonder why the men are only sleeping with them"

So true !

I think men are also s'posed to act cool lke they don't want a family and that bein cool involves multiple relationships and the need to demonstrate that they are not "pussywhipped" by being in a mutually satisfying relationship,. To be cool they they need to demonstarted their dominance over such needs.

Not much of an evolutionary leap forward is it? At this rate the species should wither out in no time.

Virtual women provide sex ,faster and quicker for substatially less investment ( emotionally , timewise and in many cases financially) The rise of pornograpy and scathing remarks about women's bodies on the internet would dampen anyone who is not a perfect 8 or above to stick their toe in the water. We have no idea how many women who are in relationships get little action (or intimacy) because of their partners preference for screen porn over mutual exploration.

One in ten American women take an antidepressant drug . Many men do too. These things are libido killers. Even more are depressed but can't afford therapy or have not found a helpful therapist. Another libido killer.It is folly when the economy is spiraling out of control and we are being evicted and struggling to maintain ourselves materially to put sex as a priority.

Millions of men are incarcerated and the pursuit of money has replaced the pursuit of nookey, which usually was the stimulus to at least lure men into intimacy whether it was their goal or not. Even though it was rarely their goal a relationship is nourishing for both participants . Men who hang in eventually recognize that there can be no growth without the courage to expose one's vulnerability.

Anyone can shut down and ignore their surroundings to perform a temporary task,how many of us are truly capable of exposing our innermost selves over time to another and make the commitment to ride the ups and downs.?

Thats where the courage comes in.

....just like finding a job or a house . You gotta beat the streets, call in your contacts, mingle in a field that delights you, see and be seen - in other words PRACTICE INTENTION.

It sounds like you think romance is different from other things in life and that you shouldn't have to knock on more than 2 or 3 doors to be rewarded. What if Obama ran like that?

They are not gonna come knocking if they don't know where you live. Set out to have fun and you may actually find someone who loves the fun loving person you are.

Be a woman ,not a mouse... you are old way before your time , - wake up!

and have him mediate a solution, surely he will make clear to the worshippers that they are breakin the spirit of the Law by being rude and pushy.Certainly one would think he would want his people to be r the best representatives of their faith.

Aren't Orthodox men forbidden to touch women? next time Bigfoot pushes through grab his hand or touch him somewhere. Carry a large ham to answer the door with and make sure you visibly grease up the knob each time .

Men have been doing these things for hundreds of years . Before it was so accepted no one even commented on it. The only real change is that many men have actually deviated from this perpetual adolescent behavior in greater numbers and are not so easily derided by other men - maybe because its quite obvious that a real partnersip with another human based on mutual commitment is rewarding beyond video games and porn and to have a relationship with your children that lasts over decades is capable of providing enviable human fulfillment in an age of alienation.
