Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Women and marriage these days

Antelope Sniper - There's a lot of truth in your tome! Women are a depreciating asset while men are generally an appreciating asset. Unless they are the mother of your children, why would you invest in a depreciating asset? The women's movement has deluded many a your lady into becoming a cum dumpster with the "have it all" BS. Who in their right mind would want some 'gal' who's been passed around and likely carrying herpes, Hep C, and who knows what else by the time they're in their mid-30s, starting to look like crap, and now wanting to 'settle down' now that they hear their biological clock ticking?

Sadly, it works both ways. There's sooo many beta males/simps in their 20s these days who do nothing but play video games and their only interaction with a woman is the porn they look at. Our society has reduced their idea of a man to these days to that of Homer Simpson, unless you're black. They're Greek gods in the media but let's stay on topic. I'm glad I'm not a millennial. My younger son is in college and dealing with this now. Fortunately, he's at a relatively conservative (as far as those go) University in Idaho.

Does a person's history of failed marriages affect his credibility for giving marital advice? On one hand, he might have learned some valuable lessons. Conversely, he might know better what NOT to do, than what to do. I mean, we don't usually want financial advice from broke people, right? Also, it seems rare to have a divorced person accept much responsibility himself for the failed marriage.

Experience is not the best teacher; it never has been and never will be. Evaluated experience is the best teacher. It always has been and always will be. Turning your experience into insight through reflective thinking is the way to go. I think evaluated experience carries a lotta weight.

The biggest problems are now with girls raised by fathers.....it's those raised by single mothers.

You have a myopic view.

Jim,

I'm not too worried about your daughter. Growing up on a North Dakota ranch she'll be well grounded in reality, be plenty capable and bring her self agency to any situation, and learn how to cooperate with real men doing real work. Just don't forget about those other qualities that men look for in a good wife.

What? Jim moved?

I'm not so sure. I think some guys could reflect all afternoon and still end up totally wrong in their conclusions.

And they would be the exceptions rather than the rule.

Interesting thread .

Antelope Sniper , You nailed the lesbian diagnoses .
Thanks for the data also , wouldn't have guessed the 2.5% but I when I think it out - fully believable .

AS knows his schit when it comes to this subject matter. He’s posted on it before, and it’s been dead on…!

I think it's kinda funny that we lament the change of gender rolls as deterious to modern relationships but at the same time we recognize the diminished roll that organized religion plays in our households as a net gain.



Things change. The Little Susie Homemaker era is over.

It never really existed...it's just that women had fewer options back in "the good ole days".

Jim I don’t think gender roles are or should be tied to organized religion.

I lament the path our nation ahead taken, but a theocracy ain’t the answer. As a Christian, I don’t want church hierarchy involved at any level in policy making.

You can be a good wife and a good husband without throwing 10% of your income at missionary work and charities who mostly seek to undermine the country by smuggling and abetting millions of wormy, disease ridden coksukers into the country.

When I was a new State Game Warden in 1981 I was sent to LSU in Baton Rouge for several weeks of basic and POST certification training. We had a class on the perils and pitfalls that LEOs faced in marriage. Our teacher came over from the state police, he had been married 4 times.

He is pretty good on the financial markets also.

I don't either.

I just think we are kidding ourselves with these "gender rolls".....and that women have changed.


If they have changed....it's because they aren't under the control of the Andersons and Crappy Hamper.

Thanks buddy..... for not holding my Oregon days against me....

As for wimmens, I spent 23 yrs of my adult life as a single unencumbered heterosexual actively dating male.... your analysis of the American female is spot on.
They have fallen prey to the radical liberal feminist.....
As for young males these days.... well, the young gals seem to have more balls.... and that ain't good

Reading lviker and Gruff's posts in this thread remind me of PaulBarnyard talking about all the arrests he's never made.

LOL

Fugking Idiots.

Jim I respectfully disagree, the women have changed.... maybe not the hi line gals ? but the rest have changed in the last 50 years.... significantly

You can rest assured that lvmiker has an elevated opinion ..... of himself and ideals.... a clueless fudd he is.... oh and arrogant, what a combo
