Article: Candid Reasons why Men in Their 40s Don't Trust Women For Dating Anymore

[Lauel]

How about you actually do some research yourself since you are the one making the false claims and clearly haven't study history enough to be making those claims.

Hint: there is more than 1.

I won't.
If you disagree then put your claims here, or else this conversation is entirely futile and meaningless with the message, "Do your study...".

Women are more volatile than crypto. Women often can't make you money or help you level up.

Advice from the old lady:

I agree largely with article. Men become gunshy for valid reasons. So you have 3 alternatives:

1. Give up & go through life alone
2. Become jaded and keep an emotional wall up even in intimate relationships.
3. Accept that people are flawed and that love and intimacy come attached to the risk of getting hurt, and love anyway.

I have made choice 3 in my own life. It takes a certain maturity to be able to do that, but I find it has been worth it.

Food for thought.

Typical proof by assertion fallacy. You claim there are many examples but won't provide a single one...because you know that your examples are flawed and would not withstand scrutiny.

Cleopatra anyone?

What happened to Egypt under the rule?

Maybe because I simply want you to use your brain for once?

OK, how about this.

The Ottoman Empire, one of the largest empires in world history was ruled by women for 130 years during the 16th and 17th centuries during the peak of its power and hit the largest territorial size under their rule.

Now go take your scrutiny to your own chauvinistic world views.

Find a woman who loves you more than she loves herself. It’s possible. But uncommon. When you find her, hold onto her. Then you can stop dealing with this ****. You’ll know who she is when she starts making decisions that make absolutely no sense for her but work for you. These moments will be evident quickly. Her character will come through and these moments will remain consistent. She will tell you that you’re her favorite person. You’ll be her first phone call on all matters. You’ll eventually hear her tell you that she loves you as much as I am saying here. If that matters to you, it’s possible.

Have you found that post divorce? Most women ive met since my wife decided to end things with me have been a step down unfortunately.

It isnt that the other women aren’t attractive, they are, they are just more difficult to deal with than my wife was

The Ottoman Empire was extremely patriarchal. Just because a handful of women at the very top of the social hierarchy were able to game the system by ruling on behalf of underage and/or mentally retarded sultans doesn't mean that their experience was shared by 99.9999% of women. No different than European states of that era, which often had female monarchs as well.

Once again, you fail to understand that the most powerful person in these situations is not the person in power, but the one who is able to blindly manipulate that person like a pawn to do their personal bidding.

Most times, that's a woman.

Been that way throughout history with countless examples of it.

Hi Lauel,
Well,Boadicea was quite a Girl,She lead the Ancient Britons against the Romans killing c75.000,sweeping all before her,until Watling St,where the Roman use of a simple gadget called a caltrap was used to disable the Horses pulling the Chariots.

Some people should really put the pipe down... Unless it's the peace pipe.

To the point of OP, this can be grossly, nonetheless effectively simplified. These '40 reasons' seem to me at least to all be comparable to risks outweighing benefit.

In my opinion men should never give a woman any degree of trust unless she has earned it. Even after she earns your trust, keep that trust localized and don't assume that since you can trust her reasonably, predictably, and reliably with one thing that you can do the same for another. The rarest things I've been able to trust a woman with is my finances (only 3 women in my life have been able to show stewardship, respect and competency) or that she is not going to become cross with me if I do something I want to do or if I decide I'm not going to do something that she wants me to do. (in that case only 3. The same 3. lol)

In an overwhelming preponderance of examples from lived experience a woman betraying trust eventually (perhaps irredeemably) is certain as death and taxes.
