i am not against capitalism. i love the idea of working hard so that one day you can live the life you want to live. it gives you purpose and something to strive for. but we don't need to kill to achieve the american dream. we dont need to hate each other. we dont need to take advantage of the desperate. we dont need to forget each other and reward narcissicm, we don't need that. we need more wide open arms, more care and support. what happens when you become disabled by no fault of your own much like my mother with her brain tumor enigma? what happens when LIFE happens to you and you suddenly become this person that you despise so much? what then enigma? will you truthfully tell me that you will not receive this 'handout' so that you can survive another day? i think you will enigma. i think you just like the italian lady that came here from overseas and made a life for herself, i think when all of you fall on hard times you will resort back to what you hate the most. but yet you deny that which saves us from ourselves? and you want to hate on it as thou you wouldnt take advantage of something that is there to help you and to serve you and to make your stronger. you would be a fool not to in my opinion. to accept a life that is below you or no life at all. you want more for yourself and so do i enigma, we've just chosen different paths. i just wish your path didn't involve so much hate for something you can not understand!

Yea I believe in that zeitgeist movement . This money system isn't going well at all .

I'm 65 if I haven't learned what a relationship is about by now I really should give it up .. I've been married 38 years of my adult life... NO I'm not materialistic ... I don't have a new vehicle - because I don't have a big ego therefore feeding it to make me feel important (to who) is not necessary... I have a house own it I don't need financial support ... Hell yes I know I'm NOT materialistic .!!
I don't need stuff to make me happy !

The problem is never being alone.. that part is awesome.

It's natural to get lonely from time to time and desire human interaction.

enigma and driver where would you guys suggest we get our ladies from if not america ^_^. you guys crack me up. i mean i understand, i really do but at the same time anything in moderation is good but too much of anything can be a bad thing and i think that would apply to ladies as well, right? maybe you guys just need to make sure you get your space in a relationship...

You can tell how full a man's bank account is, by how full his bed is with women. PERIOD!

Let's play a game: She Said, He Heard

She Said: I am looking for a "goal-oriented" man.
He Heard: I want a bust a** of a man, that will eventually run the company he works for, so I can sit on my lazy, self-entitled ass, and cheat on him with the mailman, while telling HIM he is the father of my children, so I never have to reduce myself to the "Equality" of men, by working for a living.

She Said: My children are my life.
He Heard: You are dead last on my priorities, especially when it comes to the self-entitled, disrespectful, spoiled little brats I am raising.

She Said: I don't care about money.
He Heard: I am lying, foul-mouthed, hypocritical, blasphemous skank, that gives it up to the highest bidder.

She Said: I won't leave.
He Heard: The minute you fall smack on your face, I'll be shacked up with your brother so fast, it will make your head spin.

lol i wish this weren't as true as it is, however funny it may be. there is some bit of truth to it too. but you can't live in a capitalistic society and not expect your women to be just as cut throat and capitalistic as you. that sounds absolutely absurd to even think for a second that you should get to live like a king and have this woman of your dreams pander to you while providing nothing in return for her. relationships are give and take and any lady i've been with when we break up i ask why did you even get with me in the first place if you never liked me and there is always some underlying reason why these ladies chose to be with me for that period of time. it's quite amazing how that works, it really is lol but at the same time i accept it as such because of the society in which i live. we have a society where in fact no one wants to help anymore and everyone wants to take from everyone else, no one wants to give or be the follower or be helpful anymore. to be kings and not enough kingsmen basically. unfortunately no one wants to be with you because you have nothing of value to offer them at this time, that's what it comes down to. but i think once you can understand what you do provide to them, you will be much better off if you want to date ladies like that.

idk there's no winning in a relationship, everything is give and take i believe, and even though your in a capitalistic environment i do think there are women out there who will treat you good they are just reallllllllllly hard to find, especially if you are not the 1% and you can't give them everything they ever dreamt of and more. i feel ya enigma i really do and i understand your point again 100% because i feel like i see the same things with ladies and it is really frustrating. but i try to be understanding at the same time, we are all human after all. we are still animals at our core, still so very primitive in our thinking and our behavior. while i can't support this type of behavior, and keep hoping for something better, i at least try to understand given the circumstances, given that their is no better way being offered at this time... it's a sad reality, it really is! but i'm still hopeful that i can find a lady out there that will be appreciative and respectful, honest, and loyal. i don't expect it to happen over night at least not for myself, and i've got to keep recovering from relationships that go exactly the way you described which is really draining.

stop with the woman hating, anyone can be like that and chose to be greedy or back stabing, it isn't gender specific.
CHILDREN COST so 416 isn't that much a fornight, children Cost money. and if she can't work because she is looking after two children under 3 then really it makes sense.

Then maybe she shouldn't have had the children, and kept an aspirin bottle squeezed between her legs, until she had a career and a home to raise them in. It is called "Being Responsible", a concept that American women have continuously failed to grasp.

I get lonely I miss climbing in bed at night and someone being there ...

What pisses me off is they have kids knowing the bloke doesn't want kids
and then are quick to put their hand out for $$$$$$$$$$.

Use contraception or terminate the pregnancy if you need to rely on others!~

Yes. Man and woman Were Meant to couple. Share love in the most intimate and deepest way. Become one together in life and in passion.

Not at all! I have a full busy life, a great family and friends, wonderful church family, job I love. When it's right I'll know it, untill then I'm going to enjoy the life God gave me.

And here is another, with the laundry list of unreasonable and unrealistic expectations from her men......
