The less time men spend with women the better. Otherwise they become soft and frivolous. In the past men had an insatiable appetite to rob and rule. But now they are content washing dishes, pushing prams and going shopping.

In olden times the ruling class was the strongest and most cunning. They went from place to place raiding simple folks like ourselves who's only interest in life is breeding, working and feathering our nests.

is this implying that robbing and ruling over those with less power is a sign of 'strength' and 'cunning'

cause I kind of consider it a sign of narcissism or desperation and possibly weakness (of character)

LOL...I doubt scammers would agree with you...they're still trying to rob and rule.

so true

Isn't constantly whining a sign of weakness? Just sayin'

"Relationships are for the weak," said red6mist.

"Those grapes are sour anyway," said the fox.

Yup, a week is about right.

Oops, misread it, I guess it says "weak"!

Never mind

very well said

I don't know if it's just heat stroke,
but this actually, almost made sense.

It's the heat stroke.
There there, now sit down, relax, sip a beer, slowly.

I actually find the opposite is true. It takes a lot of strength to allow oneself to be vunerable to another person; to put aside one's own needs for another and to put up with the f'ing biotchs I meet

Oh, damn - bringing some Aesop and cognitive dissonance up in here.

I was just thinking out loud. Strange thoughts to have aren't they?

Dude just don't let your left hand cheat on your right...ok..

I noticed links have http in front..get rid of that and your good to go.

Do you ever have any other kind?

You've found your niche.

I've come to the conclusion that relationships are for the weak. Only wimps "settle down". Hard men value their freedom. Take Lee Child for example, you know the writer; he keeps scoring best sellers with his Jack Reacher novels. Even though they're all the same. But middle aged men can't get enough of them! Why do you think that is? I'll tell you why, it's because Jack Reacher is a man's man. He's strong, he's handsome and puts people in their place. He has no home, no job, no wife and no kids. All he has is the clothes on his back. And when he needs new clothes he just goes and buys some and throws the old ones away haha! No washing, tumble drying or ironing for him.

Did you miss the explanation and psychology of what makes Reacher Reacher? While it is good to emulate our heros, we are in trouble if we deny are true selves- I doubt you have had any similar developmental experiences as Reacher did. Plus, I suspect you have a mancrush on Tom Cruise

I admit, Tom Cruise was lush in Top Gun. But my favourite was Ice Man. These cold calculated motherfukcers scare the bejesus out of me.
