Well yes his mother was a self-proclaimed Feminist from the 60s so she pushed her sons to do Laundry by age 10, clean the house, and pushed that women should work in their heads, so that's what they believe. Her sons changed diapers and did a lot of the child care.
Plus they like the extra cash vs. not saving anything or having to sell all of his stock options so the wives could stay home. Those sons all push their wives to work. The wives don't want to work!!!! It's a constant battle.

Yeah it's weird that the men seem to go along with it, maybe because they want the extra toys that come with a woman's salary?
When I grew up my parents (non feminists) lived on my Dad's income, and we didn't have much in terms of extras. We budgeted.
Now when I see two-income couples they take the kids to Hawaii every year, buy Mercedes SUVs, go skiing in Aspen, dinners out all of the time, etc.

I think some of it depends on your socioeconomic status and whether you are living in an urban or rural environment. In America for example, if you are single and 35 in a rural town in Mississippi, then yes you may be stereotyped and judged pretty harshly. I recall visiting Manhattan and it seemed like a different world compared to the south in terms of dating. Now that I think about it, I don't think I actually met anyone there who was married...and I was visiting for a solid 3 months.
Either way I don't think it is fair to judge people based on something like that alone without knowing them personally. If they always complain about being single but don't do anything to change then sure I get it, but that is not the case with everyone.
I know a few ~35 and single men who are millionaires btw. None in England though or I would hook you up.Sig line can't be a novel

... I wake up everyday attempting to make sure my life and my wants fall in line with yours. I need you to know that Isabeli.
Who are you? Why are people cosigning you? If a man is NOT interested in getting married, having a kid, or getting married that's his choice. lol the notion that I should do anything but lead my life the way I want is not only offensive but laughable. What are you going to do next, lash at me for not liking jam?

Wtf are you talking about. I work in a female dominated industry. Work with 99% women and the men who are here are 60 + years old and married for 30+ years. If you're worried about letting your so out of the house bc she's going to cheat on you if she's within 10 feet of another male you have some serious mental issues.

Bingo
funny how people just straight up ignore this, because this is the realest advice
if i was single in my 30s-40s (in-shape, dress well/cool), I'd be going to a popular bar/restaurant/lounges from sunday to wednesday scooping up #s, setting up dates (or smashing same nights) to avoid the weekend warriors
and I'd be taking salsa classes and hitting up salsa clubs during the week to (the amount of single normal women that come to these is unreal, i didn't believe it until my boy brought me to one a few weeks ago)

Yea I remember going to some salsa clubs when I was in Texas and you are absolutely right, those places are always packed with single women. Idk how to salsa dance but if I did I would have gone more often. Not sure about going out from sun-wed though, that's pretty hardcore.

I think I see what you mean.
Law enforcement
emergency services
construction
military
hospitals.
pharmaceuticals.
and to an extent technology.
not all guys that are techies are autistic nerds.
however those guys tend to poach from the cubicle hell outside of their division using their paychecks or expensive cars as bait.
it depends on whether it's a corporation or just a small company on that one.

I struggle with this also and i really want to say that certain types of women are drawn to those types of professions.
what else can it be about those professions where infidelity runs rampant?
The number of times i've heard about male co-workers tag-teaming a female co-worker after happy hour in a male dominated profession....
Every guy who has told me about that chit can't all be full of it.

I think a large part of the issue goes a little something like this:
Most adults spend time as a young adult [18-26] walking around with the inner workings of a 15-16 year old [mentally, emotionally, socially].
However, the social response to this expressed immaturity is dramatically different between the sexes.
As a 24 year old male in the workforce/social circles, were I to continue as a 15 y/o with my behaviors of self-aggrandizement, ego fragility, and lust for confrontation one thing would certainly happen (perhaps repeatedly): I would get hit in the face a lot. And getting hit in the face sucks because it hurts, everyone can see it, and it's a tangible reminder that my behavior was inappropriate. Thus, due to negative reinforcement, I will mature.
As a 24 year old female in the workforce/social circles, were I to continue as a 15 y/o with my behaviors of cattiness, approval seeking, and entitlement nothing will certainly happen. I would be protected and defended by men as well as embraced by fellow women. Thus, due to positive reinforcement, I will not mature.
*This scenario most certainly does not encapsulate all men/women. My Sister is a stone-cold bada$$, who incidentally agrees with my postulation.

nothing new to see here. Isreal or whatever you call her name cannot even see past her extreme bias and deadliftbrah just agrees with her becuase she got pumped and dumped by CHAD 10 times since she was 22.
most women are completely incapable of even the slightest understanding of their situation in relations to mens' in todays dating world. thats what being a special snowflake and getting whiteknighted does to your mental state.
Its like trying to explain to someone in 2016 that the earth is not flat, and then as a last ditch effort you send them up with phukking nasa in a rocket ship, wake up the next morning and go "weellll how do I know that wasn't just a big dream and you drugged me into thinking I went to space"-Max Squat drops from 415 to 200 after going 1 degree past 90 degree knee bend crew.

Police for e.g. are more inclined to affairs with colleagues because
> lots of time hanging out in e.g. cars, sangers in close proximity and often end up talking about their personal lives
>they bond (and are encouraged to) through dealing with adverse/risky situations and an "us against them" mentality
> Long shifts/shift work sets them on different schedule from their partner and could detract from their bond with them etc.
>it's changing here but it used to be that police was v male dominated so any woman was in the minority and automatically 'special', got a lot more attention etc. This sometimes goes to their heads and they get involved with colleagues.
Heard a similar situation from my ex who worked in a 98% male environment (electrical assembly) .. the admin. woman and the 1 female apprentice got a huge amount of attention. At the Xmas party the apprentice was being hit on like the last female on earth.
The opposite often happens when there is only one/very few males in a female dominated environment. It's like, because people spend so much time in work, they can't keep in their mind that there's a whole world outside and they act like those are the only people of the opposite sex left and they've got to compete for them.
Anyway the point I was making was that - when you refuse to date someone who works with people of the opposite sex (or who goes for a drink with their friends sometimes - some miscers say they will not date someone who does any separate socialising)
... isn't that just fidelity through lack of opportunity, not real fidelity to you? That's what I get stuck on.
I can see why people think they'll lessen the odds to minimal, but if you think your partner would cheat on you in that situation/at all, what's their fidelity actually worth.Last edited by Maatkarah; 01-09-2017 at 04:18 PM.

I am in law enforcement/emergency services
I see what these places are like FIRST HAND. I will argue with any westernized sloot till I am blue in the face about why I don't date women who are surrounded by men at the workplace daily.
