Women of the west are privileged. Any woman who cannot see the how, when, where, and why of this should not be trusted. Men have a completely different set of privileges, and the same can be said of trusting them. The unfortunate truth that women are MORE privileged and valued in the west in this day and age than men, and at the expense of those men, is also undeniable to any reasonable human being.
ive always read that being a stepfather is the MOST thankless job ever… so why do these “men” sacrifice their best years for this shit?

And by the way, REAL MEN do thankless things. And they do it because they are MEN, plain and simple! Only children or adults who behave like children believe they are entitled to a life in which they do everything they feel like doing and avoid the unpleasant things they don’t want to or believe that they should live in a blue and pink padded nursery room or on Facebook in which they are unduly congratulated, thanked, complimented, and rewarded for every damn deed done or move made.

It depends on the context. In a dark alley or corporate board room, I’d much rather be a man. In family court or in front of cops on a DV call, I’d rather be a woman.

I fractured my elbow last year ice skating with my beta male provider and it’s still a little hinky, so no benching at all.
However, I hear every day from people who either are stepparents or were raised by them and are enjoying standard-issue family love. Unfortunately, I also hear from stepparents who are bitter, resentful jerks. Personally, I believe there is a special place in hell for people who marry someone with children and then spend the next several decades making everyone miserable.

Wait, so you’re saying that some people in a given set of circumstances are miserable, resentful jerks and other people in the same circumstances are loving, happy, productive individuals?!

I do not lack female company / serious relations.[/quote]
The phenomenon of female worship is present in America today. Hence we see men groveling and fawning at the sight of never ending “belfies” and other self-ingratiating acts by women, amongst other more serious shenanigans played out by females at large and feminists these days.
I just didn’t think it need mentioning in the context of my post and I believe you know what I was getting at.

It’s quite pathetic how you lower these serious situations, child raising and marriage, to something that depends on a looks ranking system.

We only have to look to the learned, strong, heroic, responsible, and daring alphas on here, the ones who know everything about every man and who we should look to for guidance in mating, child raising, and marriage, or if we are qualified to dabble with such acts.

How is a hypothetical situation serious? I hate to inform you but I don’t think tnation’s get a life forum is the think tank for solving global problems.

Pathetic or not, it’s how the overwhelming majority of guys make most of their dating choices, thus it’s probably a fair point in a lot of cases.

I’d say child raising and relationships are serious and when finding a serious mate things go beyond looks at a certain point.
We’re not speaking of global problems here, but rather the cases about which Mr. Walkway speaks, in which ordinary people get together, marry, find love, raise kids, or whatever, and that he doesn’t approve of supposedly because they are not special enough to do so–you know, too beta.
So to put it simply. Why would a single, healthy, successful man choose to be with a woman that already has a child when he could avoid the situation altogether and find an equivalent woman without the baggage?
Sure I can understand the situation where the guy gets involved indirectly with the girl because he works with her or spends time in another way. That is understandable if the two legitimately connect with one another but when the guy doesn’t have any emotional investment in the girl yet and knows what he is walking into.

Odds are walkaway’s examples are completely made up but I agree looks definitely are not everything. I’m referring to the initial interaction between the two people. They don’t know anything about one another besides a few details and first impression(looks/attitude/confidence).
I don’t think it is weak to raise a child, no matter the circumstances. A good dad is not common for a reason…its hard ass work.
I do however think it is weak to sell yourself short. That is relative to the person though.
