The dissolution of the nuclear family as a function of and alongside with the feminist movement has proven to be profitable for one class only: the entrepreneurs. Realize that the only ones profiting are the ones now employing more people at cheaper wages and selling useless products back to...

As someone who's had to deal with cancer almost first-hand (my mother died from it) I'd ask you to just be honest and upfront and not use this girl. I'm the first guy who'll advise you to game the system and stick it to women for all the advantages they've got over us, but someone who knows they...

Whether it applies in this case or not, you should all remember that some women WILL walk out on a man they feel unloved by. I'm talking about "quality women" here, and I have two or three examples of this in my immediate surroundings. They always keep the relationship going wayyy too long, but...

I mentioned it a while ago in one of my posts; one of the biggest realizations I've had in my recent life was that working hard for other people mainly makes them give you more hard work while they reap the rewards of said work. Working hard for yourself is something entirely different. But...

I've always found that I could work extremely fast and well when I have clear expectations and the necessary tools at my disposal. My study time for exams in university was always about 50-70% that of other students. There was no magic to it, but when the sight was clear, I could get my head...

Stay strong. I can't offer any advice other than that, because I have never been (and hope never to be) in your position. The thing to ask yourself is whether you could use this to strengthen your position in any way, i.e. reduced child support/alimony/get custody of your kid (if that's what...

The thing is, your experiment isn't really valid. That is, the premise that your shoes are what makes those women look at you more might be valid, but cannot be verified in this way. See, the way you feel wearing shoes that you believe make you look good (whether they do or not) is enough to...

First, thanks to everyone who replied. Discussing this helps tremendously. Part of my problem certainly stems from the fact that once I had read all of the "material", or rather, as the realizations set in, the feeling of "you have to change everything right now" set in. This, of course...

I'm going to have to disagree about the "biggest feminist/white knight statements in a while" thing. My feeling is that zekko was pointing out that the guys he's talking about are only swapping one partial blindness for another. If you swear off all emotion and see women only in terms of sex...

This is very well put. As to the certain class of women out to steal your money, I'm still unsure whether there's any other class, the mysterious "quality woman" who truly sees the relationship as "the two of us will conquer the world".

In my opinion, you're creating a false dichotomy. Or perhaps it's all a matter of definitions. I believe that once I'll have found what I really like to do - if ever, I'll stop working because it won't be work anymore. But to say that anyone who doesn't work is a freeloader, well, then as...

Well, you do report to the livestock. And the crops. And they will let you feel it when you've forgotten them...

You misunderstand me. I'm not trying to shunt the world or show how little I need something, I truly feel BETTER, FREER the less stuff I have. Ok, so I want to have a nice house one day. A small one that's enough for me. This is not so I can feel like hot **** for having a house, I want the...

Of course it's nice to be able to hop on a plane to Hawaii, but I don't feel the need to. Flying to Hawaii on a whim is, like most "totally fun" things, and short-term activity. My concern is how to make the whole of my life comfortable. The day you realise you don't need to "go on vacation"...

I'm not emotionally free yet. Possibly I've identified how to be, but as of yet I haven't had the courage or the "big idea" to change it all. I've started grad school because it seemed like something that might be good for me, the topic is... somewhat interesting, but I can't deal with having...

Well, I started reading the book and he seems to know what he's talking about. His is the problem of all people who tell you not to listen to other people, namely, why should I listen to him? But in general he's only giving guidelines. It's fascinating that he seems to have figured most of...

Thanks everyone for the replies so far. Writing out my post helped, in a way, because writing something down always clarifies one's ideas. Your answers help a lot, too, because it tells me more people besides myself have decided that what we're told is right isn't necessarily, and quite...

This had occurred to me as well. Very true, of course. Statistically, of course they have to be out there, but as someone with a grasp of math and numbers I find it safer not to rely on .1% odds. I wasn't implying my life's meaning is dependent on it - maybe I expressed this...

So, after reading through the most prominent articles of Rollo's, Roissy's and some of Dalrock's, alongside this comment and this comment by Mark Minter, I've reached a point of depression and giddiness at the same time. Their take on the female imperative, female behavior, marriage...

... so? Most fat people are fat because they are stupid (notice I said most, I know a bunch of very smart people who just happen to like good food). And I don't like stupid people. Now, I'd start getting worried if she said she doesn't like men. Bigger red flag is the fact that you've...
