Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

Zaxby's is probably my favorite. $9 will get you 6 chicken fingers, a full box of steak fries, and two pieces of texas toast with a drink on the side.

It's the quickest path to heart disease known to man! :lol:

Lol! I was going to say, no veggies! At least at KFC you can get the coleslaw! ;)

Seriously though, that sounds delicious and like a lot of food. I probably couldn't eat all of that in one sitting. I can't tell you how many times I go to a restaurant and they plop down enough food to feed a 300-pound man in front of me, and it actually kind of makes me lose my appetite sometimes. :lamo That's probably why Americans are so fat!

To be fair, it does come with coleslaw too. :lol:

I agree that it's ridiculous though. Getting used to eating any where near that amount of food (and greasy, fatty food at that) simply isn't healthy. A "medium" drink at a fast food restaraunt today would've been a large ten years ago.

It's really pretty disgusting when you take the time to think about it.

I hear you, and I know it sounds stupid to complain about getting "too much" food. When they plop it down in front of me, I know I'm that this is going to be my dinner for the next two nights! :lol:
 
Well I'd point to that as part of my greater point that our common culture today denigrates the role of the father, if we used to overemphasize it. If we fell off of one side of the horse during the days of Father Knows Best, we've fallen off the other side in the days of Homer Simpson. My father changed plenty of diapers, I've changed diapers every day I've been home for years, and all the fathers I know change diapers. Hell, I literally change two diapers every day before breakfast, since I get up with the kids and get them fed.

In TV history, men in general and fathers specifically have been subjected to ridicule. So have women and mothers.

The Simpson's portrayal of the father figure (ie Homer) as a childish idiot is nothing new.
 
Making fathers look stupid on TV for comedy says a lot about expected gender roles.

If Marge was portrayed as an idiot and a bad parent, that would be less acceptable and not as comedic. Marge would be a bad mom in a culture that thinks women should be self sacrificing for the sake of their children.

If males were viewed as equally busy and intellectually capable of domestic duties and raising kids, then the American concept of traditional gender roles would probably break down. It would look more like northern Europe where men are not portrayed as idiot fathers, and its not shameful for him to be a stay at home dad. Women often pay their share on dates.

So these guys are complaining about patriarchy on one hand, but I suspect it is what they really want. They want the American tradition, but they are frustrated by the unintended consequences of the system.

I couldn't disagree more

Marge is sometimes portrayed as an idiot and a bad parent. And there have been TV shows based on single dads raising children where the father was portrayed positively

9 bucks? Dayum. Hella expensive.

I got home and was basically instantly swatted upside the head by the Obama economy.
It's not the Obama economy. Honestly Gath stop being such a puppet.


I honestly suspect that my situation would be exactly the same right now if I had been like everyone else I see and never even tried at all.
Well that sucks and sincerely, I'm sorry about that. Your hard work should pay off for you. Hopefully in time it will. Wouldn't you be eligible for some help with schooling? Why not go back to school for a while?
 
Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?

True, but it's pretty standard these days, unfortunately. :shrug:

At the grocery deli down here, I can get a 4 piece chicken tender box (these tenders are about half the size of a breast) along with 2 potato logs that are the size of Ron Jeremy's junk and a dinner roll for 5 bucks.

Nope. Economic ease makes it easier to remain in adolescence.
Well like most things, I'm sure it is more complicated than that. My first hand experience tells me that many young men who do not chose the military have are having a harder time finding a job that will provide for them. I am certain there is the occasional mama's boy who just doesn't want to leave the cocoon, but I again limiting it as if you have is an oversimplification.

:shrug: well that would be one manifestation of what we are pointing out, but again, it's a general statement. generally, women are hardwired to be attracted to alpha males just as males are hardwired to be attracted to youth, physical attractiveness, etc; both genders seeking out the qualities in a mate that would give them an advantage in passing down their genes.
Sorry, that's a myth.

You think it's a myth because lib women tend to be attracted to effeminate men.

depends on how you define effeminate. If you mean an educated man who does not drive a lifted truck with a rifle strapped to his rear view window and has an emotional range that extends beyond happy, sad, hungry and angry....then yes, I prefer effeminate men.

Not what I meant but it was funny.:lol: By the way where would you put a rifle in a PU? Window racks is where they fit.

Frankly, even then, unless they're looking for a man that they can explicitly dominate and control (which tends to be somewhat rare among women anyway), Liberal women will still tend to favor men with more dominant tendencies over "effeminate" types.

They simply express the preference in different ways.

i.e. The "passionate rebel" or "brooding artist" type over the "macho authority figure" (cop, fireman, soldier, etca) or businessman archetypes more socially conservative women might prefer.

You are so confused. Do yourself a favor and stop giving any of those inane gender stereotypes any credence.

Why? Any reject with two eyes to see can tell that it's true. :lol:

Overwhelmingly, women simply prefer men with "dominant" tendencies over the more submissive variety. It's a fact.

I see lots of lib women with men you would think were gay. Not all but lots. I never see conservative women in that situation.

I prefer PEOPLE who are not submissive. Gender is irrelevant. When it comes to what women find sexually attractive, beyond physical characteristics, it varies from person to person. You can't paint an entire gender with the same brush.
