This is a really sad discussion. I don’t usually respond because I don’t spend a lot of times on forums, i usually read the articles and get back to work but this thread name caught my attention and I wanted to see what it was about. I didn’t read it all but I feel like I read enough and I feel like I should give my two cents. A few things, I was a virgin until I got married and was glad. I’m a religious person and was taught about sexual purity and know that it’s a true doctrine. I have two little girls and I’m scared to death of them finding guys like you. Guys that don’t care about who my daughters are, guys that think my daughters are just a good time and have no respect for them. It’s sad! It’s no wonder that the Family in the US is breaking down and the consequences of that are the real problems behind the issues in our country. Men aren’t men anymore. Sure everyone on this site lifts and talks big but how many would give up everything for their wife? How many men selflessly put their wives needs/wants in front of their own? How many men are fully committed to their wives/marriages? Look at the divorce stats and you’ll see not many. Being a man to me means being fully committed to your wife, to your kids and to marriage. There are reasons for a divorce (not saying there isn’t) but the current trend is disturbing and shows that men and women aren’t as dedicated to each other as they could/should be. Whenever I have issues in my marriage the best solution is to turn away from my wants and my needs and to put my wife’s wants/needs above my own. Women are unique and special and need to be treated as such! [/quote]

Yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah.
“Women are unique and special”- All of them, nice trick if you can pull it off, he is snowflaking for them, mwua…
“Men are not comitted”- Unfortunately we will never know, because they file the overwhelming majority of divorces.
“How many men selflessly put their wives needs/wants in front of their own? …Whenever I have issues in my marriage the best solution is to turn away from my wants and my needs and to put my wife’s wants/needs above my own”
Whats in it for me?
Or has the definition of “real man” been changed to freaking idiot?

Lol, you still cant get it can you?
If you never sacrifice yourself for someone no one is going to reciprocate, period, end of story, yes that takes risk. Some of us choose well and keep it going.

Lol, you did not read what he wrote did you?
If he always gives in, there is no reciprocating.
There cannot be.
It is logically impossible.[/quote]
No sure where I mentioned I give in. Marriage is a team sport and takes both sides working for a common goal. If an issue arises in our marriage then we talk about it and work it out. I was merely pointing out that from my point of view after something comes up in a marriage that we work through to keep it going the way we want it (as happy as possible) it’s best to turn outward rather than inward. And it does bug me when guys refer to women in a demeaning way. And from a lot of the posts I read about hooking up with this girl and that girls just to appease appetites or just for the heck of it or just to say this or that. That to me isn’t cool. Women mean a lot more to me than that. If they don’t to others than that’s fine, I can’t force what I feel or believe on anyone but I can state my opinion just like you can.

Look, if that whole Christian purity and waiting for marriage with sex and whatnot worked for you I am happy for you.
I also envy you and I think that a society that married both men and women off relatively young had great advantages for pretty much all off society at the expense of young women and the 10-20 % of the most attractive men.
However, I have no problem if you idealize your wife if you have a religious and social support structure that makes that possible for you.
However, even a quick glance in your respective Holy Book, assuming something even remotely Abrahamitic, should point to a picture of women closer to mine than yours.
