This Thread Is For Men Over Age 35 ONLY- All Others Forbidden!!

[Fat_Sunny]

Maybe Fat's Just Way Too Old Fashioned, But Are Any Of You Men Who Have Attained Maturity Slightly Appalled By The Younger Guys Coming Here And Asking Love Advice About Staying Together With Girls Who Kick Sand In Their Faces?

What Year Did Guys Become So Needy And Pathetic?? Is Fat Insane, Or Have New Reverse-Roles Developed Between The Sexes (Or Both).

Maybe Times Have Changed More Than F_S Realized, But Fat Says Get Some Pride And Dignity Fella's!

I don't think things have changed nearly as much as you think. It's almost a right of passage for a male to get into an unhealthy relationship. What male hasn't been in at least one early relationship that any rational person would think was a bad idea? As many reasons as there are rationally to not be in that relationship, there's something in your head that makes you want to stay with that person. It ends eventually and you learn from it, and hopefully take the lessons learned to move towards a more stable and healthy relationship. It really is very common.

Here's the difference in this generation from our own, Fat -- because of the rise in popularity of the internet generally, message boards, blogs, myspace and other forms of electronic social networking, the support circle has grown far beyond what it was. People of this generation are far more likely to broadcast their problems, feeling and details of their lives to thousands or even millions of anonymous internet users, while people of our generation would provide these details to only our closest friends. That, I think, is why it sounds whiny to you.

I'm not appalled. The brutally honest answer is that most guys will do anything to get some tookie...at any age.

I think it has alot to do with how old they are. Most guys in their teens and early 20's are horny as hell and women just seem to hold all the cards. As you hit your late 20's-30's you find women start chasing men more, start getting more desperate to get married just as many guys start earning more money and find themselves less willing to rush to anything. So I think the whole dating equation changes greatly somewhere around 30 for both men and women.

Plus experience helps, guys should learn at some point that being a pussy just doesn't work, its a great way to have a woman lose respect for you and you just end up getting dumped anyway.

But mostly I think its mostly just their age. Most guys are just pathetic pussies at that age. They get what they deserve.

i am not over 35 but i am old and grouchy, with that said, i will say that young men today, at times, are not manly enough. they put that pussah up on a pedestal.

Although Fat's A Boomer And Mikey's Probably A Gen Xer, Your Analysis Is Right. It Is Not The Relationship Itself, It Is The Discussion Of It And The Seeking Of Advice And Sympathy From The Public At Large That Surprises Fat. As Fat's Momma Used To Say "You Never Air Your Dirty Laundry In Public", But Times Have Changed.

But think about it - except for a select few, most people on the board are annonymous. We are known as "board names and personas" rather than real-life people. It can give you the freedom to talk about anything and everything without getting into "trouble" or being judged by people who truly know you.

I think that is the real allure, the freedom. An individual can talk about anything they want, and seek advice they might not normally get, all from the comfort of their desk chair and keyboard, completely annonymous.

Nah, it's old as the hills. You should have heard my dad talk about his first marriage (my mother was his second wife); he definitely let her run things and put her on a pedestal, until he wised up. He had a much more equitable, healthy relationship with my mother.

Being pussy-whipped has been going on as long as men and women have been in relationships.

[Thomas Merton]

Thomas Merton blames NOW and the feminist movement for a change in our mores and social structure between men and women. Not saying its a good or bad thing. I'm 45 and my opinion is irrelevant however.

But I have also noticed a general pussification of American men.

[Fat_Sunny]

But Thomas Merton Has noticed a general pussification of American men.

That Is At The Very Heart Of What Fat Meant To Say. Thank You For Distilling It Down.

Some Will Argue That It Has Been Good For America That's It's Men Have Become More "Sensitive" And "Caring And Sharing". As Long As There Are Cultures In The World Where The Men Are Not "Pussified" (Ie, China And The Mid-East), Fat Will Maintain That This Is A Very Dangerous Proposition!

[Thomas Merton]

TM also blames the TV show formula of a dopey, immature man married to a hot, shrew of a wife. The humor is based on the man being an idiot and the wife ball busting. See "Everyone Loves Raymond" "King of Queens" among others.

On a related note, when did kids go from being expected to be "seen and not heard" to running the family?

Seriously F_S, you seem about my age(45); think of the things your Dad did that would be considered child abuse today. Were you ever: 1) whipped with a belt, switch, kitchen spoon or the like? 2) spanked on the side of the road during a family vacation because you wouldn't stop bothering your brother? 3) called much worse than a "thoughtless pig" 4) had soap jammed in your mouth for saying "goddamn it" 5) Challenged to a fist fight in the living room for breaking curfew by 30 minutes twice in a weekend? 6) Told to "deal with it" when an older, larger neighbor was making your life hell? 7) Bought and drank your first beer together at age 16?

My dad is from the "Greatest Generation" and can still kick ass.
