There has always been a difference between those who `married well` and those who didn´t. And one should be realistic in one´s expectations, of course.

It´s just that I wasn´t talking about any person in particular, I was more thinking along the lines of what I sometimes read on the internet. Since I don´t know these men personally, I can´t say with any certainty whether they are manly or not:)<br />Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-3695181565880986312015-03-06T03:22:30.928-08:002015-03-06T03:22:30.928-08:00I think some men just cannot stand the fact that w...I think some men just cannot stand the fact that women usually can pick. Women make the final decision. Not men. Men can just hope to be chosen.

Or maybe my acquaintances are so limited. In my experience men who mostly whine about women and their preferences are unmanly nerds. (I also know some very manly nerds.) And I know 2-3 couples where wife is very obvious golddigger and the husbands do not seem to care. <br /><br />Those whiny men always complain how women want to marry upwards in every way. But if that is a possibilty, why in earth we should marry downwards? If we can get a man who is everything a girl could want, why we should settle for less? Marriage should be a lifelong arrangement after all, so we have to play wise. <br /><br />But I agree that traditional marriages were mostly financial agreements. Especially on the countryside if you were from landowning family.

Well, what do they think traditional marriage was all about? One of the carrots the progressives used to convince men to vote for them was the promise that lower class men would be able to marry upper class women.

I think this sexual liberation thing was very big mistake. Feminists tried to make women more valued and it costed us all respect. <br /><br />But Sanne is right. Many men think that they want a wife who is feminine and such. But they fail to be real men and then they wonder whats wrong with women when they cannot find anyone?

They don't want the commitment of marriage, so they live together and when that doesn't work, it's easier to leave and leave a mess behind.Mariettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421484144455924614noreply@blogger.com
