Are you searyous?

Don't you mean sirius?

what's close? Idaho isn't THAT far away!

For younger men and older women?
No... It's her money too!

Are you ok buddy? Blink twice for no.
Them swifties are ruthless. I'm worried.

I was watching looney tunes

Talk to Chrissy!

Crystal,

You don't think biology comes in there anywhere?

I think you have a good grip on the history of it all, but I'm not sure you understand the why - entirely.

I like the way you say "think about the impact of it all" because it is something to think about. But if you want to deal with the history of it ALL, you must consider the times even before your markers.

The "patriarchy" you refer to is a system designed for social norms. It is not a bad thing. Riddle me this... would you rather be in a time when you were bonked on the head and dragged to a cave - because that's what happened.

The system put in place, was a system that protected women and provided for them. Call it oppression all you want, but it is a lot better than the alternative. Men know the brutality of other men - that's biological. We size each other up all the time and are prepared to fight at any given moment. And that's nowadays! I think that also speaks as to why women can't compete with men. We'll always go to that level with other men. We're ruthless with each other if it ever came down to it.

Let me know a different system that protects women from men without the involvement of men - because that's what you are calling a "patriarchy"

Men didn't have it easy either... throughout history, only some 33% of men got to reproduce. Some say 40%. Women are double that - on the low side. And I think there's a biological element to all of us to reproduce.

Men are hard, because we have to be hard. It's biological. Women are softer - and that's the beauty of mother nature! Our strengths compliment each other for the best possible survival

Now you understand men

Love you too Soufie!!

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!!

anyone that thinks statistics don't apply to them

You'd be foolish not to use statistics....

if 50% of parachutes fail to open when packed by a certain individual 80% of the time - are you jumping out of that plane, or are you gonna keep your azz on the ground?

It might be packed by one of the other 20%. As exciting as it could be, the risk is higher than the reward.

That's a good idea!

All I will say about it, is that it was amicable. She comes over to my house often. I don't have a bad taste in my mouth.

Women initiate 70-80% of divorces, so your brother thing doesn't surprise me. How did he make out?

Ok ladies!
Good guy explained why.... don't ask questions you don't want the answers to.

We happen to be subject matter experts...because we are men! You ladies want to give each other advice about us, instead of taking the words from the horse's mouth - that's on you!

I guess "More Cash wealth and material Possessions" is completely different than Rich!

You know some... good for you! I speak in generizations because what is the point on speaking to the exception of the rule?

I wasn't suggesting that a woman shouldn't work...

I was suggesting that it's a man's job to provide and protect - and in her case there would be resentment on both side, because if the man is not acting a man... there will be inevitable resentment because if he's honest with himself, he sees himself as inadequate and she may be wearing the pants, making him feel less of a man.

And for her, her good friends and family should be pointing that out for her - and when she comes to her senses, she will realize he is no man at all.

She's gone now, so it made no difference!

I actually already believe you!
