horse, i obviously don't know about your circumstances but here are mine - I need at least 5 million to amortize the possible failed trips. I need these in less than 5 years. Without this I am never getting a wife and will never make peace with it either.
Do you understand now?
I understand that you don't think much of yourself, sure. I accept that. I don't know where you are getting this number, but then I never claimed to be an economics expert.
Well, ok, but this is just semantics. I mean, she was, without a shred of doubt, a human being who resembled me most. I have never ever met anybody similar again nor will I. That's more than enough to make my point and it should be more than enough for you to understand it.
And this is why I referred to her as your "true love," because she seems to be the closest thing to one, by your own words, that you will ever have.
My problems with feminism go far beyond that. I oppose women being in most of the workforce altogether. You should know this by now. I oppose concepts like premarital female sex (unless in case of prostitutes) jesus, and you talk about pay....
I thought the surgery example would make my point fairly decently. Why do you care what is in the pants of the person who is saving your life, in my example, by taking out your infected appendix, which could kill you if left to rupture? Why do you care if that surgeon is male, female, intersexed, or even a robot being controlled by someone with a joystick (no pun intended) in Japan, as long as your life gets saved? You don't seem to have much of a utilitarian side to these ideas, if the sex of the surgeon is your biggest problem here.
My "human flaws" are what was seen as great traits in any sane society.
STAAAHP. I didn't mean YOURS. I meant those of the girl who broke your heart for no good reason. Isn't that a flaw?!
As for the rest: I live in a pretty conservative town. Even non-Hasidic, non-Amish women here, like my colleagues from my jobs, are looking for caring, provider, nurturing, good father figure, polite, friendly, etc. men for long-term relationships. Maybe it's different elsewhere. I can't speak to that since most of my friends are here and I know what they want better than what any woman in Los Angeles, for example, would want. You said you didn't know my circumstances, so I'm telling you: I am surrounded by women who do like to vote and work, but nevertheless, still want a man who has all of the qualities you just said they don't want. I'm not going to dox people just to prove a point, so you can believe me or not as you choose.
- I know a man who is divorced because his first wife came out as gay, but he has been with the same woman for at least six years and provides for her two children as well as his own daughter.
- I know a couple who have been married for many years where the wife is the provider because the husband has developed a severe cardiac condition and can't leave the house. If she didn't have empathy for him, according to you she would have just replaced him, but she loves him -- he is a very sweet, gentle guy, so I understand this.
- I know a married couple with four kids where the man does most of the providing, and blogs about Christianity on the side, but his wife manages to find time to give cooking classes. I might take one because people can always improve their skills, right?
- I know an unmarried woman who is seriously considering converting to a more conservative church so she can marry the man she loves. And the one she came from was pretty darn conservative in the first place. She is also willing to give up her career for him if necessary. If your theories were correct about all Western women, she would just find a stupid man and fuck him a lot.
- I know an unmarried man who is putting off looking for a wife because his dad just got diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and he has also put his own law practice on hold so he can take over the family business (which his dad used to run) long enough so that they can sell it, and his dad can live the rest of his life on the money from the sale.
- I know a complete loser who has a job, but is 35 years old and has never had a girlfriend. I'm not sure he's had sex. His brother tells me, pretty convincingly, that this guy actually makes most of his money growing and selling pot out of his basement. So he's a criminal with a shaky work history. So women should be all over him -- why aren't they?
- I know a woman who works extremely hard (as a hairdresser; certainly even you would find that acceptable) to provide for her two daughters because her wonderful husband died tragically young in the Army. So she works at two shops to raise her kids, and is putting off fucking any trucker thugs, or any other form of sex or relationships for that matter, until her kids are both in college. They will probably both need scholarships, so she and her extended family work very hard to make sure the kids are actually doing well in school even though it will be years before they are of age for university.
- I know a disabled man who, despite having only one leg, is the provider for his wife and two daughters while the wife goes to college. This guy is probably tied with the Christianity blogger for most religious on this list, but he is also a social liberal who supports aid to the poor... currently that would be you, if you lived in the same country.
Except for the drug-dealing loser, who is a virgin even though according to you he should be drowning in pussy, these people are all about the family values, hard work, and self-denial. They are not unusual for this part of the country. They are not all white, and I doubt you could correctly guess who the Black family would be out of this group. (Hint: not the drug dealer.)
I repeat, you said you didn't know my circumstances, and I am telling you that even in this small data set (this doesn't include public bus drivers and other service industry workers I've chatted with, the vast majority of the people I know from work, etc.), your theories are incorrect. I would go so far as to say my entire county and the neighboring two are pretty much this way, because now that I think about it, Mr. Horse's friends and coworkers are like this too. He knows a married couple who just got married after being together over 20 years, and they only put it off for legal reasons; both work because they love their jobs, which are both necessary to life in my part of the US.
Your theories are what I am trying to say are flawed. Everyone has
personal flaws. I am not trying to jump all over yours, although I do think it's sad that you believe you're old and not marriage material in your mid-20s.
