With the divorce rate at 70% or whatever it is, I’d assume both sexes are pretty much tired of each other.

I will say that the last 10 years have some how encouraged women to be even more insufferable, and men to not put up with it. It’s like both parties pouting in the corner. I can’t imagine dating.

As a Middle Aged man, if I broke up with my GF of 16 years ever, that’s it for me. Zero chance I’m jumping into that game. It’s guitars, cars and video games for me, with a few trips to visit my brothers and their children’s in there. It’s laughably funny to even think about trying to meet someone new after the age of 40 in today climate. I’m also white, reasonably conservative, doing ok but not wealthy, and in pretty good shape, so the pool would be extremely small.

Did you time travel back to the 70's?

Here in 2025 that is but a distant memory.
Talk? Interact?
With a phone, maybe. :laugh2:
maybe for 20 and 30 somethings. i have plenty of live interactions recently. turns out southern gals don't have their heads stuffed up their asses like up north.

for lesbians, it's over 70%.

hetero couples it's 49%.

for gay men it's even lower.

seems like guys aren't the problem.

Folks should not have glass containers of any kind on a beach or around a pool.

That's pretty much my only rule around our pool. No exceptions including me and my wife.

The Tonto National Forest has a restriction on glass containers throughout its 2.9 million acres.

I saw that article a few days ago, but didn't read it all the way through. I think this might have something to do with the fact that some women have friend groups who they rely on to vent. With their husbands, they might selectively share, but not to the extent that they do with their friends. They don't understand why their husbands don't have that same support system.

I can't point the shitty end of the stick at edro.

The boy's too short. He just can't fire a poop that far up.

Besides, I plan to use him on restroom stakeout. He can fit right under them stall doors..
or sitting on the couch noodling on the SG and watching through the sliding glass door.florida in the summer is hotter than the devils ass cheeks.
But if you're inside with the AC and a tv, it's just not fair. You are not participating.

She needs to see that you are enjoying the whole landscaping thing...

All these published studies of "trends" or whatever they are called, they are all negative towards men. Always. We seem to be the red-headed stepchild of the "social study" academia world.

After so much "man is bad, man is wrong" narrative, why the fuck would we care?

I never really had an "issue", until some public study accused me of it.

So since it impacts my life and marriage absolutely zero, I just laugh at it.

You poor bastards that have to navigate all that shit, I feel for you.

No wonder there are recluses and hermits.

You can be a Hermit and still have girlfriends,.. you just need to leave your house a mess,.. they rather have you trash their home,.. easier to clean. Saves their dignity for not cleaning for a man,.. Yes,.. that matters.

If you want one to move in,.. take care of your shit so well she wants it for herself.

It ain’t rocket science.

Sometimes, it's the hermit who's meticulous and clean, and the don't want some "side piece" funking up their hard-earned environment.

So it's "let's go to your place" as a rule.
