but you know as well as I that unfortunately, all too often, we DO have to engage with, despite our better interests, and deal with the consequences of the kind of people we are both talking about.
This goes back to the bigger picture.
When I tell women they hate men, they all laugh at me. Of course they love men, in their minds. To them, men are great in bed, to fend off monsters, to fight the big fights. But that is not 'love'. 'That' is a useful TOOL.
True love would mean that women LOVE all men, even the less than perfect ones, even the ones who they might not at first be attracted to. Women would look at the better points of men beyond what the men can do for them or how well they can sex them. Women would consider that there are other qualities in men that might be of worth and worth loving men for. Women would defer to men's needs sometimes instead of always just pursuing their own needs. Women would engage society in a healthy way, understanding men are half of society. Women would understand men have flaws and shortcomings and that a fair society would try to compensate men for these shortcomings.
Women treat men, who expose themselves as imperfect or weak, as contemptible losers. If men cannot breed without women and men need love and affection and sex, this is somethign to despise and hate-- even though women ALSO need love and affection. If men have needs, better to ignore those needs, better to pretend that women are always right, always weak, and always on the receiving end.
Women have to be forced to 'like' men-- this is the problem. They get propositioned hundreds of times a year, they do not have to lift a finger. Of course they take men for granted.
It is no wonder men pursue young women, they have not gotten so bitter and mercenary as the older ones.
And if women complain men treat them bad, who are these women wooing? All I ever see is the smooth talking losers who put themselves out there and engage with women constantly getting laid and getting dates and getting love and affection. Have you ever heard of a case of a woman actually pursuing a decent man? They chase sports figures, musicians, but only because of shallow reasons-- not becausehtey are good people.
Have I ever ONCE in my life been treated well by a woman who was a friend who gave up her body for me because she thought I was a good person who deserved some loving? NEVER EVER EVER. So when men say all women are whores, how far off are they?
Women hate sex with men, they hate men, they constantly EXPECT things from men, without ever thinking that the vibes and karma they put out are coming back to bite them over and over. Is it any wonder guys in the US are marriage and relationship striking in record numbers?
TV is only making things worse with its weird flaccid portrayals of fictionalized somehow vagina-threatened men who cannot deal with a woman making more money. i say, BRING IT ON! I would gladly stay home, AS WOULD MOST MEN if given a VALID ACCEPTED (by women) CHOICE, and bake cookies if it prevented me having to slave at work for a jackass boss who resents me.
