Good post Jeff.

I'll get roasted for this, but it's only by guys who have no personal experience. Anyway, I am a firm believer in approaching things from a "how much can earn" rather than a "how much can I save" POV. Saving is based upon contraction. Earning is based upon expansion. Saving is FINITE. Earning...

Oktoberfest is something everyone should experience before they die. A few years ago I stayed within walking distance of everything. Managed to snag a seat in a couple of the tents in the daytime, but we weren't there long enough to hit them up at night when things really get crazy. I will...

Get rid of the evolution stuff already. Bad choice of words. It's BIOLOGY that we are talking about. Not "how it evolved" which is another topic altogether (see the link in my last post). Jophil categorically denounces the role of biology, yet brings up experiences in his life that are...

Forget about "evolution" here, the real argument is biology. "Is nature exerting control on our behaviors?" I don't understand how you could reach any conclusion other than "yes". Aside from the research that HAS been done that supports the idea of say, a woman dressing "sexier" when...

Mentor? Sh!t.....I was about to ask Harry for advice. I completely missed your obvious contradiction. And it IS an obvious contradiction. If you were not so vehemently opposed to the idea that biology has a profound influence on our actions, and that our ability to "choose" is limited in its...

I love how Silva dropped his hands and baited Griffin to come after him, all the while floating just inches away from the punches. It was like watching a cat bat a mouse around before biting its head off.

In this respect I agree. This is assuming a big "what if". We don't know everything about this man, but from what I read it sounded to me like the culture we live in had a lot to do with his mental state, and you could probably tie a good chunk of it right back to feminism, and especially the...

So what you are saying is that it is "noble" for an individual man to place the well being of any given female over and above his own? Being intelligent and recognizing agendas that counter your own safety and security will allow you to avoid becoming cannon fodder for society. Or you can...

The entire premise of your post is valid, and I agree 1000% that within the context of business and general social interactions it is very important to uphold a strict code of honor, but when dealing with women it's a whole 'nother ballgame.

Nice strawman, dawg. My statement was that my question in this discussion was not directed toward personal beliefs about marriage, it was about someone, ANYONE being able to find one benefit a man gets from being married. The funny thing is, I'm the only one who could come up with one! You...

More proof that women generally do not belong meddling in the affairs of men. Business, politics, etc. are not the feminine realm. Introduce a woman into this world and it's a recipe for disaster.

Of course they do. It threatens the very fabric of society. If we don't have all of these "sacrificial lambs" out there to "do the right thing", society as we know it continues into the freefall. That was my question too. The "path" that society lays out for you turns you into a spineless...

We aren't discussing personal beliefs. The question was very clear- what benefits does marriage provide for a man? All of which you could get WITHOUT being married. I've never been married myself, but from what I understand, the "sex whenever I want it" thing ain't happening after marriage...

The one thing that really bothers me about this is the reaction that men are having to this guy having killed "innocent WOMEN'. Notice, it's not innocent PEOPLE, it's innocent WOMEN. That shows how men see themselves as "expendable". Moralists take note- this is what your "higher ground"...

Absolutely. I nexted a FB recently for crossing the line. It was "worth the energy" up until that point. Actually, it was getting to the point where I might have had to do it anyway because she was getting close to crossing lines in other ways, but the last bit took the cake. Where did the...

This is the crux of the problem, the MAJOR problem that I have with the moralist argument. It's actually makes my skin crawl at times. The bulk of it is yet another load of sh!t that is polished up to look appetizing to the masses. And that it does. Like you said, it gives AFC's something to...

I sometimes become frustrated that I cannot eloquently and succinctly express the thoughts that are constantly running through my head, but lucky for me, there are a few other posters here who "get it" that are a little better at verbalizing what it is that I see and feel on a daily basis...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ **Prepares for sh1tstorm**

I buy that. Kind of. I don't believe that "morality" in and of itself is a highly attractive trait in a man, any more than, say, a great sense of humor is in women. It might be somewhat of a bonus, but it isn't a primary attractant. And by saying that they value all of that "other" stuff...
