at one year of age i doubt he's worried by the distance
but you're allowed to be, after all, you are his father
yes, parents usually think they want what's best

Well percy bit me back a few years ago, after I gave him a thrashing, he is a pompous prick!

Its not so much the distance that concerns me with my son, Its just that I feel so close to him that sometimes i feel that he misses me, And I am not sure what to do about that.

Hmmn, You see when I was breaking up with my crazy ex, she gave me the oppurtunity to move with her and my child to a new flat, but I didnt take that opportunity even though it would mean I could see my boy everyday.

Was I being selfish by not taking that oppurtunity to remain a direct part of my sons life?... I dont know? The thing is I didnt want to live with his bitchy mother anymore because I felt the stanky ho had betrayed me.

Maybe I should have put my sons interests first? I dont know.. What do you think?

Anyway trying to meet new girls these days. But I am not trying too hard, I like being single and independant, Some of the girls I have been cracking on to lately are pretty fussy.

Still I will always search for the woman of my dreams, the type of girl who can provide me the unconditional love I seek.

Is it too idealistic to want unconditional love? Seems like girls place alot of conditions on their relationships, but that isnt what I call love, I would actually call that cold blooded economics.

I blame our materialistic culture for giving womankind the wrong education. They place materialistic dictates ahead of real love and end up ultimately cheated as is regularly proven by the western worlds high divorce rates.

Oh well I will keep searching.

And you're giving people advice? That's a ridiculously one-side view and an inaccurate one. I'm not sure why you haven't found the right woman, but you're great at making up excuses. Good luck.

I can't imagine why you can't find the woman of your dreams. It seems your handle on women is so accurate and straight forward. . .

If he's talking about American chicks he's got a point that's hard to dismiss, actually.

SacredCircle · 08-11-2008, 01:34 PM

It's not hard for me to dismiss it. Of course there are women out there that are exactly as he describes. But to throw us all in there...well fuck that! And to say that the high divorce rate is because of women? You have got to be kidding me. Once again, I am not suggesting these women do not exist. They do exist, but they are not the majority and they are not the sole reason for divorce.

lin · 08-11-2008, 02:27 PM

Well, you look at American divorce rates, then look around overseas. You look at Latino countries, Asian countries, Southern and Eastern europe... what you're seeing is men who are MUCH more... and I mean A HUGE LOT more... "sexist" and whathaveyou than American men. Yet the US divorce rate is higher.
American men marry Mexican women, divorce rate is quite low.
Mexican men marry American women, divorce rate about 15 times as high.

Also doesn't have to be the SOLE reason. An sigificant number would boost the overall rate.

Having checked it out to some degree, I'd unhesitatingly rate American women as the second worst in the world. And the most spoiled.

Doesn't that have something to do with whether or not divorce is more acceptable in the US than in those countries? I think it does.

That's why the divorce rate is higher in general. As for women in this country, they don't feel like they have to put up with the same level of shit, and are far more willing to call it quits

Anyway, you could look at American women as spoiled. It's more likely they are far less willing to be led around by the nose. If you like a woman who's happy settling for just what she's given and not complaining about it, well, maybe your chances are better in some other country. I prefer a marriage that's a partnership, not a dictatorship.

SacredCircle · 08-11-2008, 03:18 PM

Wow. . .
So who do you feel is the worst?
What do you thinks makes us spoiled?
Are you suggesting that if American women were not viewed as equals we would not have the problems we do?

Malone · 08-11-2008, 03:44 PM

Based on the douche's posts here, I don't think the women are the problem.

Well, yeah. I might not be so hard on him. He's just rationalizing his failure to find a suitable partner. But let's not forget, luck has a lot to do with it. People often find someone who's ideas are just as screwed up as their own and bingo! Happy marriage.

There's no such thing as unconditional love. We all have expectations, that someone might be a good provider for example or that there will be fidelity. A marriage can only withstand so many fuck-ups. If you don't meet someones basic expatiations, I don't think you can characterize it as being "fussy."

As usual when people try to put their thoughts in my mouth, by no means. I think American women are catered to and spoiled rotten. Has nothing to do with whether they are seen as equals. Women in other countries have a WHOLE different slant on this thing than American women do. And tend to see them as spoiled bitches with no clue to reality.

Yeah, Joseph, acceptance or legality of divorce would certainly be a factor. I think another factor would be laws such as alimony and such.

I would be interested in figures on who sues for divorce more often, women or men.
