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

I guess there's no relation to Dirty Sanchez.

Wasn't long ago 40 acres, a mule, some chickens and a sod house were the making of a man to marry....Not much different today. Women have always been looking for security..

Didn't go to college in Nampa, did you?

How'd you old timers make it through the middle 40's? In the same week I can get 3 blowies a day for days on end, then 24 hours later I am banished from touching her for a week, getting screamed at for everything....then flow rolls in for a day or two and I'm back to king status.

I dig the highs, but the lows are NUTS.

Calvin, that numbers based on an analysis done by an economic consultant.
Today 25% of women are on some kind of serious head med for anxiety, depression, OCD, bi-polar, borderline personality disorder, and the like. Another large chunk are under crushing amounts of debt, especially student loans for worthless degrees that added little to no value to them in the work place. Another half are single mothers, half are crazy liberals, and another large portion have body counts so high they can no longer properly pair-bond with a man. In other words, they are no longer capable of love. When you do all the math, allowing for co-variation and the additional things I missed, you get a number between 2% and 2.5%

I can relate

A/S: I have a good friend who is a pediatrician. As an aside he is a catholic with grown children and younger children, 8 in all. All by the same wife to whom he seems happily married. He tells me there are a lot of thirty something women who have been married had children and then divorced. Now they bring their children in for medical care accompanied by their female live in lover. Wonder what's up with the big switch? Maybe they were lez to start with?

And I imagine everyone of these women were staring at their phones instead of watching their children.

Our civil society is gone. This is due to many, many factors: Greed, Socialism, Leftist ideas, breakdown of the family unit, abortion, thug culture, public school education (aka stupidity), The Welfare State, etc.

On the topic of killing Sancho.....

The neighbor of a friend in New Mexico served eleven years in jail. Story was he shot a guy his then-wife was seeing.

The guy didn’t die, hence the short jail term.

He said if he had it to do over he’d have just divorced his wife, given the guy a $20 bill and wished him good luck

It takes two to tango. What does she get out of the deal?

How about Florida's forever alimony law?

I have a friend who's wife filed for divorce 20 years and one day after marriage. No kids in the marriage. She gets half his Navy 0-5 retirement (he stayed in to 0-6) and after he retired and took another job she took him back to court and got the judge to up the alimony to $50K a year. They've now been divorced longer than they were married and unless she remarries she gets that $50K and his retired pay forever. She's never done a thing to improve her lot in life just lived off him, even when they were married.

Right? No. Not a chance.


I didn't get married until I was 34 and my wife 36 and it's been a great 24 years but I doubt I'd ever do it again

Proverbs describes the ideal wife.

Caveat emptor

A Proverbs 31 gal…..with a Badonkadonk…! 👊🏻👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻

Hastings,
In general women have my Bi tendencies than men, but there's something more at play here. I've developed a hypothesis that predicts your friends real world observations.

So here's the dynamics at play, in general, men value women based on their youth and beauty, and women value men based on their resources.

The average man makes about 50K today, and if you make 100K that put you close to the top 10% of male incomes. So, the natural equilibrium point in today's sexual market place is that for every point of hotness on a 10 point scale multiply by 10K and that's the income of the men for whom she qualifies, but here's what's happening today and why in marriages where the woman has a college degree, a shocking 90% of divorces are filed by women.

Average Jane (AJ, 5 looks), making 35k or less, perhaps still in college marries average BCJ (Blue Collar Joe, who makes 50K a year). Joe make more than 140% of Jane so everyone is happy. So Jane finishes school, starts working on her career, has a kids or two, and gets a couple of raises. So now Jane's making as much if not more than BCJ, and in he mind is blue collar ways just don't measure up to college educated professionals she's grown accustomed to so she starts becoming unhappy with Joe.

Jane starts posting more highly curated selfies to her social media and generates a large following of thirsty simps who like every photo telling her how beautiful she is. In reality Janes now over 30, has two kids, is overweight to borderline obese but is deluded by her army of simps into thinking she's just as hot as she was in her 20's and deserves better than Joe, so she filed divorce.

So Jane re-enters the dating market as a 3, thinking she qualifies for an 8, 9 or a 10. Unfortunately for her, the guys she wants are dating multiple hot 20 year olds. Worse for her, occasionally, one of these guys will hook up with her on a slow Tuesday night instead of taking care of business himself, but they will never spend any real money on her, introduce her to their friends, or integrate her into their lives. They will use her for the occasional hook up, with will be just enough to feed her delusions of entitlement, but nothing more.

Over the next few years, Janes gets promoted to management becoming a "boss woman", making more money, and raises her standards even higher, wanting a man who's 6" makes 6 figures, has 6 pack abs, not been with another woman in the last 6 months, and is more dominate than her. Unfortunately for her, none of these guys are interested in her, so the only options are to either buy a dog and die alone, or switch to the other team. Regardless she's not going to lower her standards and settle for a decent guy making 50K, because Opera and her college professors told her to never settle, after all, she's the woman, she's the prize, and deserves to have it all.

LOL, I think you have it figured out.

Any money a woman makes is her & her kids money, any money her husband makes is her & her kids money. So marrying a high earner will be a recipe for disaster for the average man.
Antelope_sniper may be too generous on his 2% rating......

Jim,
When you ask never married post wall (over 30) women to describe themselves the top two characteristic are strong and independent. In a dating profile these words translate to stubborn and uncooperative, two characteristics undesirable in a wife. What you don't find in the self descriptions of post wall single women is words like, cooperative, feminism, nurturing, and caring,

Brother Fubar, for an Oregon guy, you're pretty observant.

Yes, the analysis was performed in a very generous manner.
