Loving unconditionally is a pipe dream. As a parent I would say your children are the closest you will get.
Very true.
Most people "love" situational, not unconditional. I do believe that "marriage" in itself is a very religious and serious event. However, I also know how most women treat their marriages behind their spouse's back. Not all, but most.
Therefore, I could never get married again. Not because of a lack of trust for myself, but lack of trust in others. That doesnt make me jaded in my ability to trust women, rather a composition of experiencing with my own eyes how MOST women will act under certain situations.
That is the difference of red pill vs blue pill.
As far as the OP's post- Today's men (on average) have become yesterday's women. There are many different reasons for this. Instead of smashing out the radical liberal groups that promoted free housing, free food, free everything, we now have a society as a whole who are looking for a handout.
On the flip side- If women REALLY want to be treated equally, I see a very hypocritical trend. Lets say a wife lost her job and the husband made good money. Said wife would certainly be in no hurry to find other employment in her job field. She would stay at home, husband work even MORE hours if available to compensate for the lost income. I have personally seen this happen numerous times.
My ex wife had to take a layoff as a way for her state dept to make up a deficit. She was at the bottom of the totem pole in her department. Instead of kicking a person in a dept below her, she took the layoff. It was only for 3 or 4 months and not that big of a deal.
However, if you flip the roles in most marriages or LTR's today, the woman would simply monkey branch to the next best offer that was hitting her up.
Everyone wants equality until they realize what responsibility comes along with it. Go to your local trailer park and ask those people if they would want to be millionaires tomorrow. All would say yes.
Even though most will bytch and complain when walking too far to their mailbox to get their welfare check.
Everyone wants to be successful but not many people will devote themselves to it. Thats the difference.
Lets not forget that women tend to think
emotionally and men tend to think
logically. Thus you have a woman who leaves her current partner (BF, Fiance, Husband) when things get uncomfortable because they see another branch to swing over too that
appears to give them more while requiring less.
