Interesting article! I read it, did anyone else? Besides the OP?
The below was taken directly from the article:
>>Another way to think about the findings is this: For the heterosexual men, if they have romantic relationship experience, they are more likely to want more; for the women, if they have romantic relationship experience, they are LESS likely to want more. In fact, for the women who were previously married, more than half say that having a romantic partner is not at all important.<<
I have my own thoughts about this but what does this tell ya? Or at least suggest?
I see quite a bit of negativity towards women on this forum from some members (not all), that most are not "wife-material," are illogical," "irrelevant" or "hoes," lack empathy, can't be trusted, etc.
Well, if women are so horrible, why are men (according to the article and the excerpt I took from it) wanting to repeat the relationship/marriage experience when a relationship/marriage ends?
And in turn, why are women NOT wanting to repeat the experience when a relationship/marriage ends?
Statistics show the majority of divorces are initiated by women. Did you ever stop to think why that is other than that the woman wants to "trade up" or she was never "wife material" in the first place? Or attaching some other equally negative adjective to her character and personality?
Have any of you looked in the mirror and considered the possibility that you yourselves (as men - generic) aren't/weren't "husband-material"? And THAT is why women file for divorce and like the article states, DON'T want to repeat the experience?
I'm not accusing, just asking.
Look I'm not posting this to trash anyone here or men in general. Only to suggest to look I'm the mirror at your own behaviors. Just as I think women should as well!!
I have said this before and will say again, both genders have their flaws. Both genders can be liars, cheaters, untrustworthy pieces of shyt.
Both genders struggle.
I read parts of The Rational Male, I've heard Rollo speak at seminars, podcasts etc.
He's been happily MARRIED for close to 30 years and raising a daughter.
Where does he get off advising men to remain single? And that marriage is a shyt show and men should NOT commit and "spin plates"?
I mean really? You've been happily married for 27 years!
He's about as opportunistic as they come and a total hypocrite and laughing all the way to bank.
It's sad that many of you think he's GOD.
