Those ones you up and marry right away. Especially if they love the smell of Hoppes.

I think it was Pawpaw who pointed out that women generally set the rules for sexual behavior in western society, since their investment in pregnancy and child bearing is much greater than mens.

The hell of it is that the War on Men, (if that's the way you choose to define it) is more about the women than the men. When I was single, and dating at the turn of the century, I never really ran into much of that, because the first whiff of insanity and I was gone like a shot. Of course, at my advanced age and decrepitude I wasn't looking for someone to bear my children, I was simply looking for a companion in my journey.

Divorce courts are skewed toward the women, custody is skewed towards woman, the whole child support system is skewed towards them. I have a friend who lost his license almost every other month because his ex would get mad and tell the court he didn't send the check. He would go before the court every time and show the judge a ...

That'a a problem, a huge problem, but until the Courts get on board, men will have to deal with that. The biggest lesson in that type scenario, is "don't put your dick in a crazy woman". Yeah, she might be fun in the sack, but once the children start coming, you're tied to her for the duration. Until that kid gets to be 18 years old, you're on the hook, as well you should be. It sucks, but life is about choices and you made yours.

I will tell you guys, there is something insanely liberating when your youngest child turns 18. I happened to be single when my youngest turned 18, and I was supporting him, hell, he lived with me because his mother had gone bat-shit crazy. (Yeah, I stuck my dick in a crazy woman for several years. She was hiding the symptoms and I didn't realize she was crazy. Maybe I caused it, because now she's crazier than a shit-house rat.) My advise to men nowadays is to not even start seriously dating until you're 50. I din't meet my current lady until my 48th year and it's been the best 10 years of my life. All the child-bearing bullshit is out of the way, we do pretty much what we want to do and we haven't argued once since we've been together. Seriously. Not once. I trust her, she trust me and we discuss lots of issues and make modifications and compromises as necessary, but I told her on the second date that I didn't argue. And I haven't. The only person I argue with now is myself.

In my studied opinion, the one thing that's hampered women's rights in this modern era is the "hook-up" culture. Because women want to be as free as a man, they've dropped their value until they're cheap. Nowadays, women don't cost anything, they're free, when they are carrying the most valuable commodity in any society, the ability to bear children. Women should be extremely valuable simply because they carry the ability to perpetuate the species, the family, the tribe. All humans are tribal to some respect in that we value family very highly. Women carry the ability to create families and once that value is gone, they've lessened their value in a society that demands value. In short, if you don't value what you have, why should I value it? Women should be high-cost creatures, not necessary monetarily, but high-cost in committeemen, dedication, trustworthiness, all the things that make family. In the "hook-up" culture, those things have no value, and it's pretty easy to be with a different partner fairly regularly.

The lesson to men these days is that you don't have to participate in that culture if you don't want to. Or you can take the value that's given so freely without compulsion if you take certain basic precautions. I think what really pisses the feminists off is that everything, every man, every woman, every child has economic value and somehow they've conflated that with slavery. If a woman values what she has, then she'll guard it. If she doesn't guard it, then she doesn't place much value on it. Now, if someone doesn't think they're valuable, why should I think they're valuable?

The craziest woman I ever dated (well, top two at any rate) was an ardent feminist, but loved to be dominated in the bedroom. Go figure.

For "conservatives" to win the "culture war", the bold part must be taught to daughters. It must be ingrained into their expectations of men.

"don't put your dick in a crazy woman". Yeah, she might be fun in the sack, but once the children start coming, you're tied to her for the duration...She was hiding the symptoms and I didn't realize she was crazy.

See, there's the rub. You can't always tell the crazy ones from the normal ones. Sometimes there are signs, but not always. When the male of the species has all of his blood flow going to, and thinking being run by, the little brain even obvious signs are often missed. As to the children dilemma, I'll leave it at not being a problem in my case.

Nowadays, women don't cost anything, they're free...Women should be high-cost creatures

Sex may be free(and that doesn't bother me in the slightest), but anything beyond that is far from cheap. The dating "costs" seem to go down as the women get older. The younger are always much more demanding and high maintenance. As they grow up and settle into their life that seems to wane.

I'll never date someone I pick up in a bar and take home that night. I'll also never take them to MY house that night. Hell, I was with a girl for 3 months who never even knew where I lived. She practically had a giant flashing neon "TROUBLE" sign over her head the night I met her. As it sits right now, there are only 2 or 3 woman I know that I would actually "date". I've known them a long time and know any of their issues, unfortunately they also know mine. We can hence forth label them as "the ones that got away".

Broads who are nuttier than Squirrel shit can project sanity.. For a short time. Thing is, there are always signs, sometimes in big neon letters, but often very subtle, they're there, but unfortunately, males often stop thinking with their head, and start thinking with their... other head. The tendency to overlook these signs are directly proportional to A)how hot she is B)how big her tits are and C)just how kinky is she.

Don't stick your dick in the crazy.
The crazy are often good at hiding it - look for the signs, even minor quibbling things - deep rivers have little ripples.
When crazy has been confirmed, don't overlook it - she may be a playboy model with F cups and likes to invite her friends over for threesomes, but the cost down the road isn't worth it.. THE FUCKING YOU GET ISN'T WORTH THE FUCKING YOU'LL TAKE.

When you meet someone new, don't tell them where you live. Hell don't even mention what down it is, be as vague as possible, "Oh I live near xxx monument" or Oh I live down south/up North/out west/back east of your state. Hell, if your dating across state lines, just say "I'm XXX from XXX state". Whenever possible, don't use your full name. Your first name will do, at least for the first day or three. Get a burner phone. give out that number, and only that number. Stage 5 clinger harassing you? Phone gets tossed.

There's a reason that the Greek god Medusa has snakes growing out of her head.

An old friend told me once: "That Medusa gal. She's got snakes growing out of her head and we've got to understand that all women have snakes in the head. All of them, mine, yours, your momma, my momma. Snakes in the head."

For a lot of women who subscribe to today's popular culture, Medusa is as good a symbol as any. They've got snakes in their heads.
