All marriages are a business transaction, enforceable by the state/government. What is the 1st thing all women ask prior to and during divorce? "What am I going to get? How much money am I going to get?" Yes, it is a business transaction, period. Treated as such makes for a more honest relationship, and a better exit strategy for a man.

NNG
Not that it's any of your business, but I weigh 120lbs. My body type is similar to that of Salma Hayek and Scarlet Johansson, hence my screen name (pocket=petite, venus=curvy, get it?).
Yours is the kind of reaction I get from hopelessly out-of-their-league men whose sleazy come-ons I reject.
PS to Rob: Good riddance, good luck, and have fun. Ignorance is bliss.

hypocrisy!
So - let me get this straight... you're unhappy with the traditional gender roles as defined in the pursuit stage... "men have to do all the work, women make all the decisions on whether I'm worthy to date, I have to approach the women..etc..."
This is the way courtship used to function - almost exclusively - but men think this is bad, correct?
HOWEVER, men seem to have no problem with traditional roles once the relationship has been established. "She should cook and clean, she should take care of the kids, she should have some measure of domestic superiority, etc."
Let me get this straight - you don't mind new-style feminist woman who will pursue you and make her own money so she doesn't behave like a "golddigger." BUT, she damn well better cook, clean, fuck and breed "just like mom."
And you wonder why we we can't ever do right by you men...
Get a grip.

people, people
>>Most of you will be divorced with limited prospects, fat, opinionated, stupid and cat ladies.<<
It is a waste of our time to try to dialogue with someone so grossly mentally ill. He can't even contol himself.
really, ignore

clue-by-four
Guys,
Much the way traditional women want to marry traditional men...
women who look beyond superficial qualities want men who look beyond superficial qualitites.
So if you claim you want honesty, affection, loyalty and kindness, but are hanging out a no-fatties-need-apply shingle, well, do you believe that any woman of character going to sign up for that?
After all, a woman of character is looking for a man who will be there when she's 64. And no matter what a hottie she is today, there is pregnancy, there is menopause, there are hundreds of reasons she won't be a hottie tomorrow.
PS Rob, if you didn't get that from my last post on Friday, I *did* say good luck and good riddance.
PSS Natalia, you rock!

Rob Anderson doesn't want a fattie?
Isn't he a fattie himself?
A perfect example of yet another imperfect man demanding physical perfection is a partner.
Asshat.

It's always fun
to watch the hens come out in force, along with the guys masquerading as feminists hoping to make points. How does it feel to be wrong? Well, Pocket_venus, Selma Hayek has a huge ass and so does the other actress you mentioned. You are overweight.

Out of my league
"but we never hear women talk about men being "out of their league" do we?"
Of course we do. The Abercrombie & Fitch model-type guy would never go for a girl like me. Never. The universe simply doesn't work like that. There are plenty of guys that are absolutely stunningly beautiful but I don't even entertain the notion of getting together with them, because it just isn't going to happen. No way, nohow.
Fortunately for me, my taste in men has always been a little "eclectic", if you will. To wit: the guy that I most recently broke my heart over is a slender 6'6"-ish bearded Deadhead with a receeding hairline. My last boyfriend was a 5'6" preppy with broad shoulders, no bum, love handles that he could never get rid of no matter how hard he exercised and how well he ate, and a receeding hairline. I couldn't get enough of looking at him, I thought he was smoking hot (and still do).
My current desperately unattainable crush is 6'5"-ish, *jacked*, cute tush (like soccer player cute), shaved head, sparkly eyes, and a pronounced lisp (of all things). Now *he* is definitely way out of my league. That will just never happen, no matter what my daydreams tell me. This guy is just stunning, and even if we did get together he'd be mine for about 37.2 seconds before some other chick with a perkier bum and bigger breasts turned his head.
Now that I read this, the one commonality is that all the guys either are involuntarily losing their hair or have voluntarily removed it (I wonder if shaved-head dude actually is also losing his hair so is doing a pre-emptive strike?) That's kind of an interesting data point...

Ignorance of what?
I recognize that some women aren't interested in me. This is a good thing, it's taking no for an answer. Standards of attractiveness differ between cultures(right Anna?) Some countries are so awful that even low end Americans are a good catch. Do we get used? Of course, get a prenup.
These women are just immigrants doing work Americans won't do.
Should look into getting them here on worker visa's. No risk of divorce.

Kate, you hit the nail on the head
Most women would never proposition a man who they feel is out of their league, much less get irrationally angry when said man rejects them and forsake the male population of an entire country.
BTW, Kate, most A&F model-type men wouldn't go out with any girl, if you catch my drift.

In Defense of Marriage, Act!
I have to chuckle at Always a Bridesmaid, Kate, and others, complaining that women in America have such a difficult time meeting good men -- and then immediately going on to describe how, without much diffiulty, they met a good man.
Ladies, imagine if the good man you found (after so much "difficulty"), rather than being delighted that you might settle for him, instead reacted with horror at the mere idea that you could ever imagine yourself being good enough for him. Picture it happening to you about fifty times in a row -- being rejected, again and again, by an endless series of "geeks" (your word), none of whom you yourself would be proud to bring home to mom.
If you can imagine that, then you'll know what life is like for many men in America. No, not the tall guy you checked out on the elevator this morning -- the other guy, the shorter one standing next to the hot guy you checked out. What, you don't remember seeing another guy on the elevator this morning? My point exactly.
I also have to chuckle at the "anonymous" who suspects that the men who seek wives in other countries do so not ONLY because they are invisible in the U.S., but because they might be able to meet and marry someone "out of their league". Gee, ya think?
The calculus for a growing number of American men goes like this: waiting around while ordinary American women give their best years to corporations that don't care -- and a long series of men who wouldn't dream of marrying them but who are perfectly willing to sleep with them a few times -- in the hope that one such woman might condescend, as middle age approaches, to settle for us -- at least long enough to have a kid or two and get us firmly on the hook for child support. OR we can cross an international border and meet and marry a young exotic beauty who doesn't equate sharing household chores with slavery and who just might stay with us forever (even after she gets U.S. citizenship) -- provided we love her always, and devote ourselves to her happiness.
I know which choice I made, many years ago.
