It's pretty bad when even the pope is promoting all the lies that are destroying the nuclear family in western societies. It's become clear that all of this stuff is socially engineered. Those in power are trying to divide people and make them hate each other.

I used to get irritated or angry when I was called a misogynist but now I wear that title with a badge of pride. Why? Because words like that are used to shame people that are speaking out about a messed up society.
The people that call me this are either evil people that have an invested interest in maintaining the status quo or people that are brainwashed and can't see what's going on.
I just know I see a messed up society. I meet so many women younger than me that are already bitter single mothers that hate men and I meet so many men that are bitter towards women. There's so much bitterness and hatred its ridiculous.Where does all of this stem from? Feminism! If you are a feminist or support it you are only making the problem worse. But I'm a misogynist for speaking out about this stuff and wanting to see an end to it.

This is THE most brilliant thing you have ever, ever, ever said on here, AG!

Feminism breeds a resentment and hatred towards men in women. I can't help but think this is why so many young women seem drawn to bad guys like moths to a flame. I suspect this is because those men are what society tells them men are supposed to be like. Then these women get burned by these men and become even more bitter and hateful towards men. Just look at the majority of women on dating sites and you will know exactly what I'm talking about.
Meanwhile a lot of the decent men are being ignored and marginalized and they develop a bitterness towards women and respond by calling women out for these things. Of course women just become enraged and call the men misogynists and it only leaves everyone feeling even more bitter and angry. Then in comes modern feminism to tell us that mens attitudes are a result of entitlement and misogyny. And they encourage women to keep making the same choices only to become even more bitter and unhappy. Its just a viscious cycle..

You are probably right. If I joined a gang or got involved in the drug trade I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could get women and probably an attractive one at that! I know this because all the guys I know of that do such things get women and lots of them. Meanwhile average guys like me that are trying to make an honest living and want to meet a nice girl are usually ignored.Now, I could adapt to the messed up dating culture by acting like those guys but I would only be adding to the problem wouldn't I?

Alright, so then who are the cowards? Just because people don't talk about their issues on LL is not a sign of cowardice. Not everyone wants to talk about their issues on the Internet. And there is huge difference between constructively talking about your concerns and complaining about them.

And the fact you are promoting being labeled a misogynist as the "most brilliant thing" AG has ever said is the most low-key shadiest insult ever. Being labeled a misogynist is nothing to be proud of. Ok, lets promote sexism and be proud of our biases, what a great idea for society!

@AG, but if society/culture is the problem, why is the focus on the women? You never address the ways in which men contribute to the culture. The issues we have with gender relations as a whole are due to both sexes. I would really like to know why you joined MGTOW.

Bella,
In case you haven't noticed I have gone back and forth with quite a few guys on these issues on LL and also other places.
One time I even had a guy here on LL publically disagreeing with me on the forum but he emailed me and was telling me that he really agreed with me but there was not point in even arguing with people about it. He went on to try and give me advice on how to adjust to the dating scene and how to be the bad boy that women want.
My biggest gripe against other men is how they just roll with it all and adjust to things even though its unhealthy. They'd rather settle and compromise their values than take action and try to be a part of the solution.Alot of guys disgust me too but I may seem as though I'm picking on women because I'm particularly interested in them because I'm a heterosexual man.

Here's something that might get the thread back on track: what if not only you another gender, but also your siblings and/or parents? Same astrological signs but different gender.

Alternately, if you and your significant other (or spouse, whatever) were the opposite gender?

I know it's hard because there are so many butterfly effects involved. Trying to imagine my 16th year as a boy (which was something of a lynchpin year for me) just seems impossible, especially as I know so many other things would've been different even leading up to that which could have totally thrown my life in another direction before I even came close to that. But it's a concept that intrigues me.

If my mom had been a man and my dad a woman I don't think they'd have married at all. And I think my mom's astrological energy would've manifested in a very different way because she'd have been spared a major life shaping moment had she been male.

It seems that had my older cousin and I been of switched genders that our relationship would've been radically different...it's weird to think of him (as a her) keeping me out of trouble instead of leading me into it but that's probable. I expect we'd still have issues of authority, though that would've been different. And I wonder if it would've been me who shot her first with an airgun pellet instead of the other way around and if so if she'd have grabbed the other pellet gun and shot back just as I had done...my cousin would still have all the Aries energy with Pisces moon so the impulsivity would be there and also that psychic flash so my cousin would probably still "win" as happened last time and probably got a whipping for it anyway, though I'd get a session with the belt as well for having started it.

I like to think we'd still be close but I'm not sure we would be since I'd probably respect my cousin's space less (and my cousin would value it even more) and I'd have been meaner than I was--cousin would still have the Cancer moon and Pisces moon after all which I didn't understand at the time, nor would I've cared at that age--and of course my cousin at least would have very different friends coming over who were girls instead of boys who saw me as a boy brat rather than a girl to tolerate.

And my cousin and his friends liked to mess with me like trying to gross me out, but I strongly doubt my cousin as a female (especially if her friends were around) would've told me to watch as she "sucked out the brains of a (boiled) crawdad" and if she did then I--as a boy--probably would've loved it and done it myself next.

It's hard to imagine.

[b] LOL, I see what you did there, Faith. It works both ways AG, it is not just a woman's fault as usual. I find it somewhat sexist that you have chosen to focus on a woman's appearance as her ultimate deciding factor on being worthy of marriage. It is also sexist to imply because a woman god forbid hits 30, is all of sudden worthless because her appearance "declines."

I think it is extremely shallow to say someone isn't an attractive marriage prospect because they OH NO get a wrinkle or two.

I actually know plenty of women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are aging beautifully in appearance and character. But I also know plenty of these women who are dating men their own ages without a problem, which is supported by the research.

The problem with your discourse is also that you are ignoring the fact some men in their 50s, 60s see young woman as a 'reward.' They deserve to have someone young and sexy, and act like borderline ebophiles towards 18-year-olds. Again, both genders engage in negative and positive dating rituals.



I never said looks are the primary factor, I just said they are a factor.I also mentioned children and emotional baggage. Studies have shown that age and the amount of sexual partners a woman has been with directly correlate to how long her marriages last. A woman who gets married young and is a virgin has a much better chance of having a lasting and happy marriage than the woman getting married on the wrong side of 30 that has been with a dozen or more guys.[/B][/QUOTE]


Could you please cite your sources? All data in existence shows that the divorce rate roughly halves for those who marry first the first time after their Saturn Return compared to those who marry before age 25. In fact, the average age of an American divorcee IS 30. Once again your remarks seem to go directly opposite of US census data and seem to be based purely on anecdote.

Can I be frank? Who cares? Let the men who don't like women be MGTOW. The probably with these men is that they're NOT going their own way. If they WERE, they'd be focussed on male-oriented things and activities. They'd fo us on themselves and their cfriends like a normal single person does. The problem wkth MGTOWs is that they never shut up about women! They'd be a lot more convincing if their every single thought didn't revolve around women!!!

Did you ever consider that your podunk Southern town does not represent the whole of North America? Where I live the average age of a woman giving birth to her first child is 30.

Oh that makes perfect sense. Women disgust you but you are sexually interested in them so you focus on them more.

Just like women might be disgusted by men ("bad boys"...corniest phrase ever) but because they are sexually interested in them, they pay attention to them.

But YOU, of course, are always taking the much higher road.

You are comparing apples and oranges.... I meant I have an invested interest in the behavior and quality of women because ideally I would like to pair up with a nice girl one of these days. Women on the other hand? They are going to bed and having kids with the bad boys. Two completely different things.

Aquaguy, I don't hate you. I wouldn't be friends with you on Facebook if that were the case. What is hateful, pointing out that you're pulling factually inaccurate $hit out of your a**? I think you're extremely whiny, self-pitying, and inconsiderate. It's like you really don't care that the people who come here may not want to see Sweet Peas have every thread turn into the aquaguy show and his various problems with women. How can you expect to have a relationship when you are so self-involved and oblivious to the feelings of others? Relationships are about TWO people and you think the universe revolves around you. And frankly, I think you should leave Lindaland. I don't know what you are doing here if you think all women are the same and incompatibility or differing needs has nothing to do with why a relationship might fail. Why not just stick to your "men going their own way" sites if all you want to do is whine about women all day long?

Also, that's really funny. I wasn't aware I was a single mom. That's news to me.

That's a very interesting idea. Tbh, it's kind of blowing my mind. What would the people closest to me be like if the genders were reversed? I think my mother would be a better person for it possibly. My dad, I can't even imagine. My boyfriend would still be a good person. Would the attraction be the same? I'm going to sit with this question for a bit.

Well that's the beauty of these forums isn't it? If you don't like what I have to say you can ignore me. But people argue with me and keep it going so they are just as responsible for the arguments. It's kind of like all the women that would call in and argue with Tom Leykis when he was on the air. They would tell him he was horrible and hateful and he upset them and he would remind them that they could always change the channel.

My second marriage was on the 'wrong' side of 30 (which is a ridiculous sentiment, btw) with the 'baggage' of a child from a first marriage.

After over 9 years together, we have both never been happier. I know a lot of people (read: men and women) that have met much happier partners later rather than sooner - when they have really matured and learned about themselves and what makes a good relationship.

AG - Where do you see all these bitter people?
Most men and women (and every possible gender in between) I know - don't seem bitter at all, on a sexual/romantic level.
Sure... Some people get more affected by negative experiences in life (including their romantic life), than others. But eventually, everyone moves on, at their own pace...

It's true that there are many f-ed up things in this world. But the male/female issues you bring up, wouldn't make my "top 10" list.

Re: The ageing debate --- The people who are unhappy in old age - are the ones who are either poor or physically unhealthy/unfit, or both.
This is just common sense. I don't think I need statistics to back this up.
