Vengeance dating, maybe?

Is that a MOTHER (complex) or what ??????????????

I don't know how a man could be betrayed more than that!

Many men feel they have little to offer a woman other than financial support. Therefore they feel a woman who does not need their money will not need them.

Really, it's all about the cash!

So, yes, there are men who don't like women who 'talk back' or are their equals intellectually, educationally, or professionally because these women threaten their need to dominate.

men don't like this...cuz we understand intrinsically that men and women are different...each has their strengths and weaknesses...

women's lib has done some good but it also has perverted tihngs as well...

trying to compete with a man is just plain silly and dumb...

as I have said before- if you're as smart or smarter than you're man GREAT- now use those smarts to build him and your relationship UP...

not tear it down...

that is the definitino of a smart woman...

some aren't as smart as they like to think they are...

behind every great man is a great woman...

ps- if ""you"" are so indepenedent...why exactly is it that you are looking for ""man/husband??""

Education can be very demanding and very competitive. OP sounds like she may be very competitive. On the other hand a good relationship is very cooperative. Therefore to be more successful at love and romance OP needs to be more cooperative. She would not perceive men as being threatened by a cooperative, independent, educated woman.

I think they are only considered needy and overly dependent when you don't want them...

Two of my most favorite movies.... Cinderella Man, and A Beautiful Mind. Both Ron Howard productions. Dr. John Nash from Princeton was amazing. Thus... A Beautiful Mind.

Is that the same snake from the Garden Of Eden?

I showed the laws say it is the woman the has the sole discretion to have the child or not I didn't make it about abortion I made the point that the woman is in control of having the babies.

So then she should decide NOT to have kids and get married.

NEVER in this legal system. It is on par with a pump and dump stock ponzi scheme

3-5K for the ring

Glad to know this thread is still out there and bringing in new perspectives though.

As for my thoughts on yoga and ass-kicking, self inflicted or otherwise-let's not, but lie and say we did. lol.

Does that mean the masculine-type men are more attracted to the more needy or overly-dependent women?

Not that muscles equals masculinity either but, you know what I mean...I hope

I've kicked my own ass enough times for it too.

Is there a reason that you are so "needy" of tormenting or insulting others that you cannot indeed be civil? Your language is typical of needy women and their circular arguments that solve nothing.

The masculine woman will be attracted to these men. Also, she is someone that is controlling.

That is the first factual thing you have posted here. And I am thankful for the fact you don't speak for all women.

I’m no Pollyanna but I could make a list of things my wife does for me that’s three times that long. Naturally the relationship has to work both ways.

Because those guys can relate too her.Why? there needy also.

Seriously though if all marriages could be worked out where each are looking out for their mates interests more so than their own marriage is great.

I will venture to say it is because, come what may you both keep the others needs/wants at the top of your perspective lists.

No personal agendas to sabotage the union.

Anxiety or illogical emotional behavioral is what drives women who suffer from what psychologists coin "distorted thinking".

Women do not like to embrace long term planing, except in areas of family or personal gain. Men are more prone to think about impacts on a society. On a personal level women by and large live too much in the here and now, and not enough in the future.

...while your there, grab a better fecking attitude, too!!

As far as men not wanting to date middle-aged women, are you suggesting that it should be the women who PROgress their behavior so as to be more"pleasing" to men?

My neighbor has 2 kids and and a live-in housekeeper which they pay $900 per month. That is $10800 per year - and that's in Toronto.

peck·ing order (pkng)
1. A hierarchy among a group, as of people, classes, or nations: "The astronauts had developed a pecking order that was military in its rigidity" (Tom Wolfe).

2. The social hierarchy in a flock of domestic fowl in which each bird pecks subordinate birds and submits to being pecked by dominant birds.

That would be pretty good pay even if you had to do all the house work. I don't know any house keeper that makes ....$342000.00 of disposable income in twenty years!

Oh, and btw, were you to be planning to marry again, would you be presenting your prospective bride-and her attorney-with a complete disclosure of the LLC thing, and the fact that she would get NOTHING in the event of your death,and probably would be evicted by the "owners" of your house and business? That since you don't get a salary, there will be no Social Security surviving spouse benefits? I mean, hopefully she will have her own resources, but still, complete disclosure would be the honorable thing to do. And I think she should be aware of your penniless state, she might hav concerns about having to pay you alimony in the event of a divorce-since you have practically nothing to your name. Hope her attorney cautions her about that possibility. What was that about protecting HER assets? yeah I bet. Looking to appear to the court as a pauper?

The abusive and control driven men who are so arrogant as to claim that they are "real men' are the ones that slick themselves into a woman's panties time and again. To another man this kind of behavior by unfit males is obvious, both for it being anti-social and ultimately destructive. But women do not take advice from men on those sorts of social problems

What's funny is that it was fairly obvious that HE was the gold-digger in the scenario. The woman got fed up with his bullying, domineering, controlling and abusive ways-FINALLY.
