For some reason, this scene is coming to mind:

Of course a women's column would call men lazy.

.

It was the men who responded the reasons why they don't date women anymore. Laziness was the number one reason they cited.

Easy porn is another as @rodamala  pointed out.

You're stuck in the bitter man syndrome, blaming all your problems on the opposite sex. It's a nasty cycle, you think you're wronged by dem evil womens and you get angrier which only drives them away even more.

Spot on..women can pick it out in a second.

Sadly, "Stress Goddess" is more my type... or "Future Crazy Old Catlady"... or both?

Yeah, good luck with that, Rod.

@Frank Cannon

From a pure acting talent perspective, Faye and Mickey absolutely nail their characters in that film.  Not a very uplifting film, but a classic nonetheless.

Lol, I own my loathing of mankind. I'd go nuts otherwise. Of course, maybe I already am nuts. But I do have the presence of mind to limit myself to just one dog, otherwise I would be the "crazy old dog lady."

Well if you look like Faye Dunaway, wear skirt suits and can be found drunk in bars on your off time send me your number. I'm always in the market for that.

That'll do it
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Jimmy, haven't you been paying attention?

You're doing it all wrong!

You gotta grab them by the p#$$y man!

You'll have a hot nude model wife and maybe even be POTUS!

I would also tell him to make sure he has a pocket full of Tic Tacs at the ready

I work around a lot of females. The single ones are all looking for marriage and family but hearing them talk, it sounds like when they do meet a guy they start the relationship and marriage pressure within a month or two of meeting the guy thereby scaring him off

@LMAO

I don't professionally date, but I have found when going on dates with single women in my surrounding area, that they are quite loose and fast, totally hormone-driven.  Most have "settled for less from life" already.  The "smart" (clever?) ones went off to college after HS and got their MRS degree and never returned.  The rest, stay here, troll bars looking to get knocked up, and wind up on the dole with child support/WIC check/SNAP card... and the cycle repeats.  Many, many generations of Wal*Martians come from here... but EBF, Pennsylvania is really not that much different than any other rural area in America, I bet.

I pretty much am resigned to have place a classified ad in Backwoods Home Magazine, and to import a wife from elsewhere, "Candidate must come with her own pickup truck, hunting dog, bass boat, and washboard, Please include photo of Bass Boat."

Maybe I just turn Amish and marry a Yoder?  I think I drop too many F-Bombs to pass for being Amish, though.

@jmyrlefuller

I wholeheartedly agree with the poster who recommended meeting a woman at church.  Women love a Godly man.  Just sayin...........
When we were youngster my wife and I almost never missed a Church service. Any chance to spend time together.

Seen a lot of good advice so there not much I could add, but I'll say this. Find someone you like and find someone you can work well with. I met IdahoCowgirl at work (the Million Dollar Baby at the Five and 10 cent Store).  When you find someone who wants to spend their time with you and you with them and you enjoy working together are on the right track, it makes do the dishes and everyday stuff a lot more enjoyable. Remember you're looking for someone to grow old with. That's all I've got, take it for what its worth.

If you haven't seen the site there some good articles at Art of Manliness, you might poke around they have a quite few on dating and such too.

LOL. Where do you live and do you have the name of a good divorce attorney?

Geez. 20 years ago you had to work your ass off to get somewhere with most women. Now it appears to be a free for all from some of the stories I get from my Millennial tenants.

Well, how do you end up out of it, without actual reason to not believe what you've already experienced?

Be open to possibilities,  make eye contact with strangers,  be friendly and helpful and don't give in to fear of rejection,  and treat life's glass as half-full.

@jmyrlefuller

And, don't go into every interaction with a woman with the thought that it could be something.  Just be yourself and enjoy the other person without any expectations.  Otherwise you give off the "overly intense" vibe and that just frightens the smart ones off.  Maybe even some of the not-so-smart ones.

It's like searching for happiness - if you go deliberately looking for it, it will elude you.  It's only when you go about the business of living a good and meaningful life that you find yourself happy.

I own a apartment complex.  A young female tenant late 20's met some guy on the net from 4 states away. Long story short he arrived into town..she immediately let him in and took care of him-he a total stranger. She is a DR. P/T making very good money ($90k per year)and he had no job and a rusted out 10 year old car.

After 3 weeks she came home and he beat the crap put of her. Broker her nose and eye socket. I get a call from the Sherriff dept telling me what is going on. I set up an eviction because she broke the lease by allowing a guest to stay more than 10 days.

This gal was super cute, ambitious, educated  and she picked out a loser. I always cringe when a young single female wants to rent  because they always bring trouble.  I wish I had nothing but seniors and gays they make the best tenants

What the heck is wrong with young people today?

That's interesting, Mirraflake.

I don't know if you're a religious person or not, and for this it doesn't really matter, but this was one of the readings last week:

Quote
Perilous Times and Perilous Men

3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3

Nothing new under the sun.
