      @johnnypenso9574 5 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      ^^Your attitude towards relationships is awful. Smart women, and men, who want successful relationships, take great satisfaction in making their spouses happy, comfortable etc. If the statement was "Caring for [your elderly parent's] comfort will leave you with immense personal satisfaction", or, "Caring for [your child's] comfort will leave you with immense personal satisfaction", no one would object. Why does it suddenly make you a brainwashed slave because it's the person you chose to spend your life with, voluntarily? If anything it should be more important in that case because they are with you by choice, not by family bonds.
      It's a natural human emotion to want to do that for people around you. Only a real narcissist would think otherwise. You sound like a narcissist who would marry a narcissist. Good luck with that.

    Realize that back then women didn’t have to work. Being a mother was still a typical mindset of many women. The Feminist Movement was mostly in the big city and small town America only saw that as magazine articles and headlines on occasion.
    Up to the late 70’s and early 80’s the second income was extra income. Nicer homes & cars could be have with a second income. It wasn’t until the late 80’s when big business realized there were more and more 2 income families and that triggered prices going up because we now could afford to pay more.
    Now 2nd and 3rd incomes are almost mandatory considering that cell phones, cable TV & Internet sate now a way of life and not optional.

      Likewise with people fantasizing about the past. It's selective and non-objective by intrinsic nature.

    A little ammendment to the seatbelt topic. The seatbelt as standard equipment started in 68 but it was lap belt only. I owned a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 and it only came with the lap belt; the shoulder strap was optional. I used to get pulled over and ticked so often because the cops didn't know the law that I had to track down the shoulder strap option so I didn't have to keep going to court to get the ticket thrown out. The shoulder strap locked into the lap belt sort of like a 5 point harness and had to be manually tightened and once tight wouldn't move because it didn't coil at the end like belts today.
    Also, if a seatbelt was optional on your vehicle you can't get a ticket if you don't have one but you can get a ticket if it is equipped and you choose not to wear it.

      The old societal model was:
      A young woman would trade her youth and fertility exclusively to only one man, and he in turn would be the workhorse and take care of her when she gets past her prime. This was a great incentive for men to work, become men, and get married. You got a prize, a young beautiful loyal wife. In theory, as we know life isn't perfect. She does him a favor early on by being a virgin/exclusive and later he does her a favor by staying and supporting her instead of leaving her for a younger woman. They both get a prize.
      The new societal model is:
      Women whore around and waste their youth and fertility on Chad/Tyrone, get walled out, get STDs, lose their ability to pair bond, rapidly accelerate their aging process with excessive alcohol and fast food, and have no loyalty to any man. What sensible man would pay top dollar for something 30 other men got for free? The incentive for men is gone. You don't get a prize anymore. You get a parasite with an entitlement mentality that’s looking to take your resources and then some. Before you even say “I do” at the altar, she’s already plotting how to financially rape your ass in family court when she divorces your sorry ass in a few years. Why do you think she’s smiling as she’s walking down the aisle? A woman’s main reason for getting married is to get a divorce.
      A man's sexual drive is used to lure him into signing a one-sided life time contract with a woman with penalties for leaving. She gets to keep all the cash an prizes and can break the contract at anytime for any reason and suffer no penalties. In fact, she is rewarded.

      You're expected to pay a premium price for a used up, beaten up, soulless woman from the bargain basement bins of some store in the hood with the morals of an alley cat, an in denial, freak of nature, pathologically delusional, self-esteem deficient, morally bankrupt, bottom dwelling, blood sucking, inhuman, creature of the night, bitch on wheels, spawned from the seed of Satan, and a boil on the buttocks of the world.
      When she dies, the last living reminder of hell will be gone from the face of the earth.
      She has kids from Chad/Tyrone or both, personal credit card debt, no assets, school debt for a worthless degree in liberal arts or gender studies, no cooking skills and no desire to learn any, no fiscal responsibility, an overly banged vagina, and a pet you’ll be expected to take care of as well.
      And you're supposed to be happy about this opportunity to lick up the scraps from the floor.
      The so-called good men she wants and can’t find are out there. They just don’t want her at the table because she has nothing to bring except financial and emotional pain. When women say, "Men are only after one thing". Meaning sex. My question to them is, do you have anything else to offer. Crickets is all I hear. Which means even they don't believe they have anything else to offer.
      In addition, she also has great expectations you’ll do everything for her, make her feel better, and provide an unrealistic unsustainable lifestyle she feels she deserves because she read about it some feminazi magazine article that hates men.
      All this while she cheats behind your back with the “bad boys” she really wants while you’re at work paying all the bills to feed this little parasite.
      Women don’t “love men”, they love what men can do for them. Where are all the great art works female artists have created, inspired by their love of men?
      Men are not afraid of commitment or marriage…. Men are afraid of getting divorce raped in “family court.” It’s just a bad deal and there’s nothing in it for men except the chance to be financially ruined for the rest of your life.
      If you were thinking of going skydiving and knew that three out of four parachutes failed, and you had already watched your friends jump, some successfully, others not so. Would you be willing to take the chance that you're going to be the exception and get the one parachute out of the four that is going to work?......... I mean they all look so pretty and smell so good and feel so soft to the touch and they are offering you the thrill of a lifetime if you would just let one of them wrap itself around you and make that commitment to attach yourself to it and jump...... would you still take that chance?
      But… but…. Look how pretty the parachutes are, smell their lovely fragrance, touch and feel how soft they feel, they beckon you to try one of them on, please try me on and let me wrap myself tightly around you and see how good I feel to you, I’ll hold on tight and snug to you, I am not like the others, honest I am different, I’ll work.
      Well….. would you do it? Would you take that chance for the thrill of a lifetime?
      Yea, that sounds like a good deal if I were a moron, is this the line I stand in to lose half my sh!t?
      Good luck with that.
      Men are waking up and realizing this system is defective and toxic. Women's sexual liberation, feminism and the birth control pill, have ironically dis-empowered women. They are throwaway sexual objects now more than ever.
