OMG the source is Oprah.com just rerun by cnn , this is the woman that gave us ideas like beef kills and Doctor Phil. I am sorry even if there is information
that is scientifically valid in the article i stopped reading after this first line cause it said: OPRAH.COM . I invalidate anything she has her name on as
hype .

Apparently rthen is a bit more in touch with his feminine side.

Well, think what you want but its a fact:
1. Rich men, regards of looks, will get the chance to mate with an "attractive" woman. 2. Tall and "attractive" people will always have more choices to mate then short/"unattractive. 3. Generally speaking women have more choices to mate then men (of the same eco/looks status) regardless of their income level or looks. Despite how much we want to fight instinct we will never be free of it. I believe that understanding your limitations and instituting some business style arrangements in a relationship is therefore ok. An average guy or gal will always work a bunch harder in a relationship to obtain lower results so making formal or informal agreements is required. Think of it as quality of life protection. Example: If I have to cook, clean, and pay 70% of the bills in a relationship, if I want sex and do not get sex from my partner a few times a week (or whatever the agreement was) then there better be a very good reason. If there's not then its time to cut our losses and split up. Simple as that. I'm a bad example, I'm too easy and honestly I'm beyond caring about sex, have been for about a decade. But its an example none the less. |

Rthen I think your missing the gig here. You are talking about basic prostitution and dont seem to understand that you dont pay a whore to have sex with
you...........you pay her to leave.
You would be better off with a call girl once a week. Or seeing a shrink to get over the obv mommy issues you have. |

uh... ok?
Rthen you've made it pretty clear you are unhappy with your marrital situation. Take your own advise and cut your losses. Light leads to hatred, dark to delight. The best of all things are done in the night!

The truth is that less then 40% of women and men at my age range will claim to be completely happy with their mate.
I'm adult enough to admit that I care about my spouse but also realize I am far from happy with the arrangement but unable to bargin for a better "deal" because I am not in a position of power. If I made a bunch more money each year, or/and was over 6 ft tall, and above average in the looks area I would be in a position of power in my current relationship. The problems we all have in our relaitonships can usually be boiled down to scientific reasons that can be classified and studied. If I were to move on my life would be even more miserible. Not because I do all the cooking, cleaning, and seldom get any acknowledgement for doing it. Not because I would miss sex. I would be miserible because I love my spouse despite the issues and would miss her. Many of you know I am right about my views on mate selection, eveolution, and how men and women interact in our society, you simply are afraid to admit it. I'm simply pointing out that humans are not all that much better then the animals in the wild. We have a hell of a long way to go to beat instinct. |

Wait a minute, are you really miserable or are you simply wishing your spouse would get up and bang you hardcore in "appreciation" for doing the cooking, cleaning and doing the dishes, showing it by riding you hard and screaming, "Do me you domestic god!!"? There's a difference between "miserable" and simply thinking, "it would be a lot nicer if". In the meantime I don't care for you trying to classify everyone else as having *your* problem. I think your views on mate selection, evolution and how men and women interact in our society have on real chilling effect; your attitudes and ideas have limited possibilities in your own life by not even expecting better situations or taking the time to appreciate your current situation. Try taking a deep breath and figure out if there's anything in your life you actually really like and feel lucky to have. If your life is totally devoid of that perhaps you have a place to start bitching. I really doubt that. - kat |

One thing I can agree with is the unhappy with the spouse thing. My wife is a total bitch most of the time and she is the definition of self centered.
If I had no children I would dump her ass in a heartbeat. That doesnt change the fact that rthen is a weird freaking dude. |

I think your perceptions of "mate selection" are pretty far off for most people. If you are unhappy, do something to change it. Quit blaming the fact
you dont make "big" money or your looks. Those are copout excuses used by people with limited self esteem.
Grow some balls and use them already. Light leads to hatred, dark to delight. The best of all things are done in the night!

I seriously doubt I am the only guy in a relationship that cooks and cleans exclusively. |

The point I am simply making is that gender equaility should not mean male subjugation. That is all.
Seems to me like many women in the corner of the country I live in tend to not just want equality.. no.. they would rather have male subjugation because they feel men need to pay for the "past". To be specific I am talking baout the North East of the U.S. |

Rthen, the only common factor in all this repression you suffer, on and offline, is you...

Opression? I am not opressed. Don't make me laugh. Granted I am a poor example but Gender equality does not exist in the US or anywhere on this planet
currently. One day I hope it will.
Right now women have a 22% higher chance of obtaining a job due to equal opprotunity policies. |
