Man-ism
Hello Men. I want to start out by saying....don't look down on yourself as a person. You are a great person. Unless you physically beat women. Any man who has to resort to physically harm a woman, needs to get help. Any woman who is with a man of this sort, needs to call the police ASAP. No exceptions! She needs to get away from him.I can only recall one thing about George W. Bush that I liked. (Yeah...he was not my favorite). But, even though he could not get it out of his mouth correctly...when he said: FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME. I think those are some pretty logical words to live by.
I love all people. I know not ALL women are like this. I am only sharing some stories that I have personally experienced in life, I personally witnessed in life, and that I have personally heard in life. For the men reading this, you make up your mind on what you read and if anything pertains to your personal life. BTW....just because I love all people, that does not mean I do not have any people that I would rather keep my distance with.
As usual, on my walk and on my drive home, my mind was constantly running...especially about this whole female movement we face today as men. I thought of a lot of similarities that I found common with many relationships I know about.
Here are some:
Firstly, I already mentioned the barber story. But, I would like to repeat it. I consider myself a fairly logical thinking person who likes to make decisions based on somewhat realistic/reality-type events. My barber lady told me that her lady friend was seeing this guy while she was married. Both the barber lady and her friend thought....since her husband travels for work, he is probably cheating. So, it is okay for her friend to cheat.
In a long-term relationship, it was told to the man, you are a control freak. Toward the end of the relationship, the woman wants to go out to the bars with her sister. The man thinking he is a control freak, does not agree with that move but lets her go. She waits out in the driveway a couple of minutes before she drives off for the night and not comes home until the next afternoon. Two years after they broke up, the woman tells the guy, "You know, when I waited in the drive way that night, I was waiting for you to come out and stop me."
Another story from the same couple. I cheated on you....for you. It took me awhile to figure out the logic behind that statement, but she was right.
A couple of friends of mine...both are with a woman. The women WERE friends. One of them was a hairstylist and the other one just got a job at a salon. The lady who got a job at the salon had to get her hair cut there to display what sort of work the salon can do. Her hairstylist friend got pissed off. Not only do the women not talk to each other...but the men are not allowed to talk to each other.
Another man I know...he used to be a disco dj in Detroit. I am talking in the past couple of years. Obviously, you have to be somewhat outgoing to be a dj. Now, after he got divorced, he walks around with his head down, just goes out to walk his dog, and hardly says two words.
Another man I know...he is currently with a very attractive girl. All I hear from them is her constantly critizing him. When ever I see him around....I have yet to hear him say one word. To get a woman of that quality, I am guessing he had to be a pretty good talker....now?
You know the old saying, "happy wife...happy life" Really? What about happy wife and happy husband?
Happy wife...happy life, I get it. You keep her happy she will give you some. Hmmm. I question that with the way things are going in this day and age. But, maybe.

You know the old saying, "never argue with a woman"....well, in my past experiences...I see why. Even if she clearly was in the wrong, by the time you are done arguing...you the man ends up feeling guilty/bad.
In a long-term relationship, when is the last time your partner gave you a sincere apology? Unless, I was really unlucky with my partner...which might be the case...I cannot recall ever hearing one.
So men....keep your head up high. If you are with a woman who likes to play mind games (and there are many experts in this area) just keep your focus of the facts. Be happy you are no longer with that woman.
Again, not all women are like this. I have seen some really wonderful women out there...that are fair, logical, and genuinely kind.
But...I need to ask the women...how else have men mistreated you?
also...
Men....what other stories do you have to share?
This is all just my opinion and situations I personally experienced.
I can now understand why SOME women want a strong man in their lives.
No one person is perfect. As somebody stated, a relationship is give and take. Perhaps some people out there are more takers than givers.
But...
I feel the better both men and women understand each other....the better relationships can thrive.
Happy hunting all...
That right person for you is out there.
I wouldn't have done or said ANY of the things the women you mention in your blogs did.
All I know is to the person I am with to settle any differences we have...keep it simple...as far as having affairs...or not having good communication between our partners...I always think ...it is best to be open...he isn't a genius...he cannot read my mind...hence...keep it simple...lol...
Very nice blog. All I can say is not all men are bad. Not all women are bad. I think life is a learning experience. If we find the right person, we will learn to commit, communicate and compromise. Now the hard part is finding the right person.
I once overheard he said this to their then 6 year-old daughter.
"Mommy happy, everybody in the house also happy"
What a wise man he was
Hello Johnny
I posted this to let people know of some things I went through and also from what I have seen other men going through....and still living with.
In addition....there is the driving the wedge between you and your family. "I don't like such and such." If you do nothing about it, you will be reminded repeatedly until something is done.
and
There is the public spectacle. My brother told me when he and his buddy were sitting in the bar. A woman, with her man, just burst out yelling at him in public...in effect embarrassing him in front of his friends and everyone. Then of course, there is the drink in the face.
These are all very powerful tactics that SOME women use and are well aware of how effective they are.
Finally, there is the dragging your name through the mud trick....even if it is with lies.
Just a couple more I thought of.
For the women who have responded...thank you. I sincerely meant it when I say there are some great women out there. Hopefully, we as people can become either better pickers....or better people.
very good points you bring up with men.
That is where I went wrong, I obviously didn't pick the right person. Communicating her real feelings were the last thing on her list.
Yeah...I had a tear in my left eye when I wrote this.
It sounds like you have us figured out quite well.
.....simple and stupid.
It sounds like you are a woman with a true heart of compassion.
Just kidding with you...lol...a relationship that works requires honesty...and communication...
You described me pretty well....simple and stupid.....and it is the truth. It took me many years to figure out where I think I went wrong.
But you are right with your last comment too. :)
Thank you for your comment and for the book recommendation.
I wanted to post this to share some of the things I have seen in life. At this point in my life, I am living truly happy.
But, I have seen a lot of blogs lately for women's movements.
I found it reasonable to post one for a man's movement. :)
There are a lot of things that sneak by a man's radar....at least, I think so anyway.
Happy trading....at least for the past few weeks the stock market has done real well. :)
This is their chance of really giving their opinion.
And a chance for us ladies to learn from that viewpoint
It appears that I am a somewhat unique person who experienced some unusual things.
but....it could be....
Men are suppose to be strong and not express their feelings...
but....I could be wrong.
But some of these people (men) I have talked about....I really do not think they even realize it.
After all, how can they "cry" or complain about a woman mistreating them....they are men after all.
I grew up with brothers, and always had male friends as well as female friends, so never understand why men are seen as these alien enemies.
They feel, hurt, and love every bit as deeply as women, and so should be treated with equal respect.
Welcome back...again. lol
It is about a movement for men.
