And likewise, I could see red flags immediately sometimes, but not always. And I can't have the same attitude because...? The red flags aren't always apparent IMMEDIATELY, especially the 'deal-breakers' I mentioned in the other post. I didn't "isolate" myself. I did a bunch of...

One that isn't fair to everyone.

It REALLY depends on what is discussed and negotiated ahead of time. I don't agree with 'letting' a man pay for everything, especially by virtue of his gender. If HE invites me, HE pays. If *I* invite him, *I* pay, even if he makes more than me. Late husband and I had a "deal" that we called...

Like I said earlier, I had more than 4-5. I never said I was so "moral and pure", but I DID have standards. If I first meet you and tell you I own a dog and you say "I LOVE animals!"...and then after dating a few weeks I see you kick my dog, you're HISTORY. You HID your true self from me...

I don't only have ONE 'deal-breaker'. I have MORE than one. Cheating...abuse...drugs...excessive alcohol...excessive control...disrespect...lying...laziness... And how about other deal-breakers like not sharing the same religious/moral values? Or one person's neat and the other is a slob? Or...

Whether it's 25 years or 25 weeks doesn't matter. You're faulting ME for "not seeing the red flags" immediately. Obviously, I HAVE said that I made mistakes. PLURAL. Hence, it's why I took a "leave" from dating/relationships. And yet, in women's 'circles' it's the man who controls the...

Plenty of people have And of all those times you met a "decent woman", you didn't marry ANY of them because...? ...and...this is the same "decent" woman who left you for someone else? What happened? Couldn't you spot that wayward potential in her BEFORE you married her? Can YOU???? You...

Again, I call B.S. on this... Maybe you should spend some time on some dating sites to SEE what kind of "men" are out there. Not. The. Marrying. Kind.

And THEREIN lies the rub! A MAN wants to pay for the dates because he EXPECTS sex from her!!! Whoa...Her "Responsibility?" Noooo......just noooooooooo

OMG.... Why would he even CARE what she wears? If a date of MINE wore stripes and plaids SO WHAT? Don't forget...WOMEN were NOT the ones who set up the Patriarchal "system" of the "man paying for dates." PATRIARCHY did that. If you don't LIKE that idea, bring it up to your "brothers"...

And yet, when a woman WANTS to pay for a day, the men get all up in arms...feel "emasculated".... Seriously, women can't 'win' with you guys...

You calling the Iroquois "model" of feminism "covetous"? and "entitled"? and "communistic"? Funny how that "system" has been successful for THOUSANDS of years. Maybe pay more attention how patriarchy has failed MEN, instead of how you THINK that Feminism is so "evil". Sheesh! Your...

See what's underlined? What a CROCK. IF men want access to a woman's "reproductive capacity", then why don't they ONLY want sex while a woman is able to reproduce? Why do they often still want sex when a woman is ALREADY pregnant? Why do they still want sex even when a woman is no longer...

Cute list. Now, take Feminism out of the equation and guess what... YOU'D STILL BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. Know why? Because maybe PATRIARCHY ISN'T ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE.

Responsibility for WHAT?

No, not wrong. Plenty of men out there who SEEK a woman like that. Plus, it wasn't even benevolent micromanaging. More like a dictator. You're right. HIS mistake. With the kind of job I'm doing right now, IF I succeed, I will get a lot of money. But the money isn't for me, it's for my...

Interesting. When I told my late husband I was leaving him, he acted SHOCKED. Said, "I thought we were working on our relationship!" Then it was MY turn to be shocked. We HARDLY spoke for over a year, ate meals separately, no sex, no counseling...since when is all of that and then some an...

What do you mean by "not equally"? Are you trying to say that because there aren't as many* women in those jobs you listed as there are men in those jobs that somehow that MEANS something? Of the 15+ million people in manufacturing, 30% of women make up that workforce. It may not be 'equal'...

Oh pish posh!

You gotta keep reading: Genesis 1:27 "God created mankind in his image; in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." God blessed them and said to them...have dominion over the fish of the sea, the bird of the air, and all the living things that crawl on the earth."...
