wierdmunky Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Those people are all falling for the same joke. They probably know it too. I don't see why it matters because it doesn't sound like your going to date a career woman, so these women aren't being taken out of the group that you would date. If thats the lifestyle they choose to have, let them have their cake and eat it too. I'm sry you can't find a way to have girls flock to blow you.
Cherished Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I don't think the OP even has a career so he feels very insecure with the mention of any woman who has a career, so it freaks him out and he bashes away. I hope you find work soon, OP. Good luck to you. I would suggest some interview/interpsersonal skills to help you at the interview.
yongyong Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 well women shouldn't work or can't get a professional job cuz you are worried about your wife and men shouldn't work hard to go to higher position cuz she knows you will use your power to sleep with someone so basically you guys will end up as white trash couple. is that what you are looking for?
sb129 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 And not ALL careers.. I see it more or less in the business/corporate world. So specify that in your OP then. Who says all the bosses are women anyway? MY boss is a woman, and I don't find her attractive at all. She is a great boss, and very sympathetic to the fact that I am pregnant as she has 3 kids herself and is still a working mom. Best boss I have ever had in fact, as the last _______ said that if I got pregnant I might have to find another job. :rolleyes: I hope you find work soon, OP. Good luck to you. I would suggest some interview/interpsersonal skills to help you at the interview. I think thats hit the nail on the head. well women shouldn't work or can't get a professional job cuz you are worried about your wife and men shouldn't work hard to go to higher position cuz she knows you will use your power to sleep with someone so basically you guys will end up as white trash couple. is that what you are looking for? :lmao: Probably. All these mysogynists make Woggle look like a pussycat!

It sounds like all boxing123 is complaining about is that there's a derth of the type of women he wants. Besides, the premise of this thread is flawed. A lot of woman work to make a living - few of them would sacrifice fulfilling relationships for their careers. I'm thinking most textbook career women (those who would sacrifice a relationship to their careers- wouldn't jeopardize their careers by getting involved with bosses. What I wish for myself is to find a partner who will understand and support my passion for my work and I'm more then willing to reciprocate. Most couples need to support each other to make ends meet, and that means supporting each other through careers and parenthood. The last thing I want is to end up with a man who thinks it's always all about him. So deep down, boxing123 is only complaining about the fact that he can't find a way to have girls flock to him. Sorry buster, it seems you were born in the wrong century.
missdependant Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 It sounds like all boxing123 is complaining about is that there's a derth of the type of women he wants. Boxing123 complains about every type of woman out there. It wouldn't make a difference to him if it was a housewife, businesswoman, a woman who works from home, a woman that works part time.. they're all going to cheat and none will ever be good enough for him. His ideal woman does NOT exist, because he's too picky, shallow, paranoid and controlling. (Based on his other posts) Personally, I think he would be better off dating another man.. perhaps Green would be a good match for him.

(Based on his other posts) Personally, I think he would be better off dating another man.. perhaps Green would be a good match for him. Hmm, I don't think I'm shallow, but I'm definitely paranoid, and perhaps slightly controlling. The trouble is the LS forum somehow only exacerbates these things rather than alleviate them. Which is clearly undesireable outcome. My point is that while I personally find most of the woman-bashing threads distasteful (at least the ones designed with the only purpose to ofend), I'm also asking myself why do so many people feel this way? Hell, as I've made it clear, some of these sentiments are not foreign to myself. I know for sure that I'd rather not feel this way, but I'm asking myself what could possibly make me trust a woman, and so far I'm not finding the answer . Which is doubly concerning given that actually I haven't had such a horrible experiences with women. In fact, I've probably done better than many or most men in relationships.

Honey you won't find trust in women from a forum. It has a lot to do with self-esteem. If you would actually take the time to LISTEN to what women's responses were to your threads, you might actually start to understand them. The case is simply that you are only hearing what you WANT to hear. You have too much distrust in women to believe anything a woman says here.

Well, you're probably right, of course my hearing is selective, but where's the force to reverse the template? Over the last month or so I can name no more than 2-3 female posters that actually emphatized with some of the male fears here and provided sensible responses. And I disagree that it's got anything to do with self-esteem. I've got more self-esteem that I know what to do with. But, all the pop-culture talk notwithsdanding, I've found that it's irrelevant with relationship with women (except maybe for in the initial stages or for a fling). One thing that i see - both in forums AND in real life is - that no matter how great you are, there is more than tolerable chance that a woman will leave you for vague or no reason at all (I'm not calling myself great, but I've seen plenty of decent guys thrown down the toilet for no reason). So, that's the true source of my budding bitterness (and my aloofness in relationships). Does not make me happy, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Many men settle for the crazy girl,the alcoholic, or the fat one, or the one on prozac..
missdependant Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The point is that not all women are the same, and it's really pathetic and ignorant to think we are or even put us all in the same category. It's also really sad that people feel the need to look down upon all of us, when some of us have done nothing wrong. SOME women cheat. SOME sleep with their boss. SOME go for married men. That leaves the rest of us having the same issues with the opposite sex. There are just as many men out there who want women with power, and just as many men out there that cheat and go after women who are already taken. Personally, I have never cheated on ANYONE. Not my current boyfriend, not any of my past relationships (this is my third serious).. not even my 6th grade "boyfriend". Yet, I have been cheated on by EVERY single flippin' person I have ever been in a serious relationship (more than one year). The real joke of it all, is that this is the only thing any of the men I've ever dated have had in common.. otherwise I've always looked for men with absolutely no resemblence to a past boyfriend. If I knew they were going to cheat, I wouldn't have picked them, but sadly, I've had bad luck. Do I go around stereotyping every single man out there into one class? Do I think they're all *******s? Do I think they're all horrible and evil or less superior to women? Do I act like I'm better than men? NO. I deal with it and move on.

You have a lot more expectations than this. Shall I go through your threads and find them all for you? You want a woman that you can claim as your property. You want a woman who doesn't go online or use facebook. You want a woman who doesn't flirt with other men (but you're allowed to flirt with other women, of course!) You want a woman who acknowledges that she is NOT man's equal. You want a woman who isn't a career woman. You want a woman who will never age (good luck with that one!) Good luck, Boxing.. I'm sure there are a lot of girls like this out there.
Kamille Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Good luck, Boxing.. I'm sure there are a lot of girls like this out there. Yes. Her name is Barbie. As a bonus, she doesn't peep a word.
yeex Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, I really do not like your posts. You seem like the insecure, controlling domineering type. Bad vibes man. I won't be reading your threads anymore. Open your mind a little.

yeex Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Or chris250 .... yeah, Chris250, I literally think that guy has to be a joke. How could anybody be serious about the **** he was ranting about. This OP is up there.
Cherished Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I work in a "career" environment and I will definitely say that there is not that stuff going on in my place of employment. If it were, you might be out a job, especially in this economy. People don't mess around with that stuff where I work, or if they do, it is kept private enough so as to not affect the work environment.
Ocean-Blue Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 You're right. A successful woman doesn't want a loser for an SO. It would make for an awful experience. This explains a whole lot, doesn't it, boxing.
normal Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 This is absurd theres nothin wrong with every career woman there is something wrong with you if you think so
Author boxing123 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Well, I guess several studies back up my assertion that was based on mere observation.. http://www.forbes.com/2006/08/23/Marriage-Careers-Divorce_cx_mn_land.html How do women, careers and marriage mix? Not well, say social scientists. Guys: a word of advice. Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Blondes or brunettes. Just, whatever you do, don't marry a woman with a career. Why? Because if many social scientists are to be believed, you run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage. While everyone knows that marriage can be stressful, recent studies have found professional women are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat and less likely to have children. And if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it. A recent study in Social Forces, a research journal, found that women--even those with a "feminist" outlook--are happier when their husband is the primary breadwinner. Not a happy conclusion, especially given that many men, particularly successful men, are attracted to women with similar goals and aspirations. And why not? After all, your typical career girl is well educated, ambitious, informed and engaged. All seemingly good things, right? Sure … at least until you get married. Then, to put it bluntly, the more successful she is, the more likely she is to grow dissatisfied with you. Sound familiar? Many factors contribute to a stable marriage, including the marital status of your spouse's parents (folks with divorced parents are significantly more likely to get divorced themselves), age at first marriage, race, religious beliefs and socio-economic status. And, of course, many working women are indeed happily and fruitfully married--it's just that they are less likely to be so than nonworking women. And that, statistically speaking, is the rub. To be clear, we're not talking about a high school dropout minding a cash register. For our purposes, a "career girl" has a university-level (or higher) education, works more than 35 hours a week outside the home and makes more than $30,000 a year. If a host of studies are to be believed, marrying these women is asking for trouble. If they quit their jobs and stay home with the kids, they will be unhappy ( Journal of Marriage and Family, 2003). They will be unhappy if they make more money than you do ( Social Forces, 2006). You will be unhappy if they make more money than you do ( Journal of Marriage and Family, 2001). You will be more likely to fall ill ( American Journal of Sociology). Even your house will be dirtier ( Institute for Social Research). Why? Well, despite the fact that the link between work, women and divorce rates is complex and controversial, much of the reasoning is based on a lot of economic theory and a bit of common sense. In classic economics, a marriage is, at least in part, an exercise in labor specialization. Traditionally, men have tended to do "market" or paid work outside the home, and women have tended to do "nonmarket" or household work, including raising children. All of the work must get done by somebody, and this pairing, regardless of who is in the home and who is outside the home, accomplishes that goal. Nobel laureate Gary S. Becker argued that when the labor specialization in a marriage decreases--if, for example, both spouses have careers--the overall value of the marriage is lower for both partners because less of the total needed work is getting done, making life harder for both partners and divorce more likely. And, indeed, empirical studies have concluded just that. In 2004, John H. Johnson examined data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation and concluded that gender has a significant influence on the relationship between work hours and increases in the probability of divorce. Women's work hours consistently increase divorce, whereas increases in men's work hours often have no statistical effect. "I also find that the incidence in divorce is far higher in couples where both spouses are working than in couples where only one spouse is employed," Johnson says. A few other studies, which have focused on employment (as opposed to working hours), have concluded that working outside the home actually increases marital stability, at least when the marriage is a happy one. But even in these studies, wives' employment does correlate positively to divorce rates, when the marriage is of "low marital quality." The other reason a career can hurt a marriage will be obvious to anyone who has seen his or her mate run off with a co-worker: When your spouse works outside the home, chances increase that he or she will meet someone more likable than you. "The work environment provides a host of potential partners," researcher Adrian J. Blow reported in The Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, "and individuals frequently find themselves spending a great deal of time with these individuals." There's more: According to a wide-ranging review of the published literature, highly educated people are more likely to have had extramarital sex (those with graduate degrees are 1.75 times more likely to have cheated than those with high school diplomas). Additionally, individuals who earn more than $30,000 a year are more likely to cheat. And if the cheating leads to divorce, you're really in trouble. Divorce has been positively correlated with higher rates of alcoholism, clinical depression and suicide. Other studies have associated divorce with increased rates of cancer, stroke, and sexually transmitted disease. Plus, divorce is financially devastating. According to one recent study on "Marriage and Divorce's Impact on Wealth," published in The Journal of Sociology, divorced people see their overall net worth drop an average of 77%. So why not just stay single? Because, academically speaking, a solid marriage has a host of benefits beyond just individual "happiness." There are broader social and health implications as well. According to a 2004 paper titled "What Do Social Scientists Know About the Benefits of Marriage?," marriage is positively associated with "better outcomes for children under most circumstances" and higher earnings for adult men, and "being married and being in a satisfying marriage are positively associated with health and negatively associated with mortality." In other words, a good marriage is associated with a higher income, a longer, healthier life and better-adjusted kids. A word of caution, though: As with any social scientific study, it's important not to confuse correlation with causation. In other words, just because married folks are healthier than single people, it doesn't mean that marriage is causing the health gains. It could just be that healthier people are more likely to be married.
Cherished Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Instead of continuing to complain about it, go get one of the noncareer women for yourself, then. Wow, so there it is, "career" women have a degree and make more than $30,000. That is barely enough to not be homeless these days. So basically men who are out on the dating scene need to be looking for women still living at home and supported by their parents because if she has a degree and makes more than $30,000 she can't afford to be a noncareer woman and single.
