No Child Support
What if we just got rid of child support? If a woman has a child without getting married first, the responsibility to support the child is on her. Or, whoever has custody of the child — maybe some men would step up. If there is a divorce, whoever has custody of the child is responsibleContinue reading “No Child Support”
Women Want to Get Married Eventually
I think it is a good thing that nearly all women eventually want to get married. What if they didn’t? But, since it is so ubiquitous, it is also, in a sense, meaningless. The question for men is: which of these women are actually capable of being a Good Wife and a Good Mother? Maybe,Continue reading “Women Want to Get Married Eventually”
Good Wife Flexing
I think she is flexing here, but nevertheless, it is a wonder to behold.
Looking Kinda Chubby There Helen
Helen Roy, who is admirable for many things, has unfortunately slipped from her Dream Babe status. She had a child, which is fine. In the process, she put on a lot of weight; hasn’t been losing it; and instead is making a lot of excuses. While I think it is fine that a wife andContinue reading “Looking Kinda Chubby There Helen”
Seven Items
Not a bad idea. These are things that every woman can accomplish, without all that much difficulty. You don’t have to be in the Top 10% for height, or Top 5% for income; a combination that excludes 99.5% of Men. The most important one is #7: Make His Life Easier. A “helpmeet” is a meetContinue reading “Seven Items”
Getting Married Early
Some people, who want to rebuild marriage and family, have been encouraging people to get married later rather than earlier. Statistically, it appears that later marriages have a better chance of success. I do not think this is a good idea. For one thing, if you are going to wait until after marriage to haveContinue reading “Getting Married Early”
Getting Married Without Boyfriends
In the past, Courtship did not involve “boyfriends.” This is hard to imagine today, where it seems like you need a “boyfriend” for … about 58.7 months … to get married. But, that is a new thing. Here, as a counterexample, is Bingley and Jane in Pride and Prejudice, a representation of “courting” from aboutContinue reading “Getting Married Without Boyfriends”
Can’t Sleep On The Thoroughbreds
I met a young guy who was recently hired by a friend of mine (at a prestigious bank), who is close to retirement. He is about 23. He has a long-term girlfriend, who he has been together with for about six years. I didn’t meet her, but I hear she is very beautiful. Basically, theyContinue reading “Can’t Sleep On The Thoroughbreds”
Women Aiming To Get Married
It is actually a good thing that women mostly come to their senses, sometime after Age 26, and decide that they want to get married. Men have recently learned to avoid these types, since it sure seems like they are looking for a lifetime meal ticket after a decade of debauchery, by marrying a manContinue reading “Women Aiming To Get Married”
