2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

Dating now isn't like it was.

Modern society for the most part have no morals, and have been conditioned to see things from a very selfish viewpoint.

My advice to my son's is way different now than it would have been, had they been at this stage of life before the internet & social media were so prominent. It's a shit show now with the young women all believing they're 10s, they deserve high value men, and having no intention of staying married. They, for the most part, are always looking to trade up.

Marriage does need to be looked at from a financial perspective. A prenup is essential, and should clearly spell out that her income is hers, his is his. Modern women believe men should be dropping huge cash on them, while they do little to nothing but provide looks and a place to deposit a load.

If they can't have an honest discussion about money, responsibility, and what they bring to the table, they aren't ready for anything more than a pump & dump.
I hope you are also teaching your boys to favor fat ugly chicks because they're the only kind that will be desperate enough to take that deal.

Of course, there's always video games and porn which is what the young men seem to favor these days...

Can't expect a woman to act with honor or dignity if it's not being offered from the other side.

The problem with most relationships is at first there are a lot of new relationship fireworks, but as time goes by the fireworks start to diminish and women start looking for your faults, which were always there, but were never noticed, then they do notice them and they get irritated by them to the point of always pointing them out, which leads to continued arguments, which if not reeled in leads to separation.

My kid is a toddler, he has toddler problems which aren't always rational. Although we could be doing it wrong too, that is never out of the question. He definitely ate too many bananas and apples today.

That said I think we are doing a little better than most the people on the initially posted show.

I understand toddlers and terrible twos, my statement was in general, you build a passion for hunting, fishing and the outdoors and the kiddo won't have time or the desire to get in trouble doing something else.

Kids are far from the enemy, even stepchildren, you just have to find a way to connect, trust me, it pays dividends on the backend, you can blame all of the hunting and fishing on the kiddo.

Man, based on what some of you all are posting, apparently I got "lucky" to get my 100 pound soaking wet, worked full time while going to school, cooks pretty much every night, keeps the house relatively clean and still works full time wife.

Maybe you all should teach your sons to bring something to the table besides a penis.

Quite the opposite. A woman who doesn't respect herself enough to take care of herself won't respect you either.
If you don't have respect for each other, your vows, and show appreciation for your spouse, your marriage will suffer.

Please explain your last sentence. Where did I suggest differently? If she isn't acting honorably when you meet her she isn't going to change.

Married for 34yrs, mostly happy years but you will always have ups and downs, I think many relationships are built on lust and not love, if you have a relationship built on lust it’s doomed from the beginning, when you get later in years, love gives you the energy to care for each other and accept each others faults when times get hard.

Your first post suggests you have taught your son not to respect women, whether you realize it or not.

Somewhere out there in the world wide web verse there is a thread on a female majority forum doing the same thing about men as this thread.

Hopefully they won't name names to protect some of y'all.

So only chicks in good shape that work out are any good or respectful? You need to get with AKman there.

Not really.

I didn't respond to your post telling a whole lot of people that they are failures. First thought was what an @$$. If it was a troll - well done. If it wasn't wish you had a little more empathy.

There are just diff kinds of people - some aren't afraid to believe they deserve better and pursue it, others suffer for years cause of an ideal that was put on them. Hopefully folks don't have to go thru that but if they do, they have a choice.
Failing at something does not make a person a failure, it means they failed at one thing and they probably shouldnt be giving advice on that topic. If somebody has failed at the same things several times and is not currently succeeding at it, they shouldn't be looked to for advice.

I used to work with a guy who was divorced but had been married 5 times. 3 of those times happened in the 5 years I worked with him. He was constantly criticizing me for not knowing how to treat women or how to being in a relationship. Like bro....you have failed at this 5 times, why are you telling me what I'M doing wrong.

so again, failing at being married does not make somebody an all around failure in the game of life. It just means they sucked a the marriage game. This can go back to even choosing the wrong person to marry.

I guess I lucked out. Married for 19 years, together for 27. Great looking, takes good care of herself, loves to cook, house is immaculate clean, same job for 20 years, have a daughter who has graduated college, likes the outdoors and no social media accounts. No questions or cares when I plan a hunting or fishing trip for a week or two. We have very few arguments but we do give each other plenty of space and 100% trust. At 43 there would be no way i would start over.
