Calli, around 15,000 children under the age of 5 years die every day in Africa from malnutrition. Maybe we should put available resources and concern into them, not a few dogs and cats?
It sounds like your blog has been cut and pasted from the 1860 Guide to a Good Marriage. I totally disagree. Learning to play the piano is hard work (for most people). Going to work 8 hours a day is hard work. Marriage is not 'a job' and it should not be hard work. It should be natural, or it's time to move on to the next one. I suppose it might be hard work for people from backward cultures, who are stupid enough to let their parents or others decide their futures for them. Then I would get it.
I am not sure you should dismiss the 'animal feature' quite so lightly. This may shock you, but in my opinion many older men all over the world would prefer to wake up with a younger woman, rather than one their own age. Not every morning maybe, but certainly from time to time. That 'animal feature' simply means a fair trade most of the time, the guy looks after the younger woman and in return the younger woman makes the guy feel real good. Personally I don't see anything wrong with that, so long as both parties are consenting adults. Speaking as a mature guy, (haha), I can say that many of us have been in this situation.
I'm saying that in most parts of the world, men don't really want a woman who earns a lot of money and certainly not one who earns more than they do. A woman's place is in the home (?), bringing up the children (?), cooking nice food (?), dressing up and looking pretty (?). Isn't that the role of the ideal wife ? I'm not so expert on Indonesia, I do know a fair amount about China. All the 'smart' women in China are still unmarried at the old age of 30, because no guy wants them ! Very sad. And then noone wants them because they are too old...
It's probably worth remembering that most men don't really want a 'smart' woman anyway, ie one who earns a lot of money and certainly one who earns more than they do. Not good for the male ego. Every guy who comes along and says they don't care if their lady earns 10 times what they do have probably never hooked up with such a woman.
To say that money doesn't really matter is a luxury which only those with enough cash are able to say. Try telling poor people that money is not very important.
Obviously depends where you live in the world. In my experience, an income of $200 a month in Manila means you have an OK life, also in parts of China (certainly not Beijing or Shanghai). However in London £50k per year is OK, but with high housing and living costs you won't be living a luxury life.
Yes, being divorced is a real crime for sure. You can adjust your settings on here so that you don't show up on other people's view list. However if you do that you cannot see who has viewed you.
Whilst I have no regard for internet 'trolls', your blog conveniently leaves out some important aspects of the case which go some way to explaining why there has been so much hostility directed towards the McCanns. Firstly, we don't know that the child was abducted. We don't actually know what happened to her at all, there has been all kinds of speculation. Secondly, assuming she was abducted, she was left alone at the age of 4 with her younger siblings while her parents dined with friends a couple of hundred yards away. Speaking as a parent, this is not normal behaviour. Thirdly, both the McCanns are educated, professional doctors. You would have thought they could have taken better care of their children, it has been pointed out that had they come from a council estate the remaining children would probably be taken into care on the grounds of neglect. Finally, the fact that the McCanns have been campaigning and raising money for years to continue the investigation is pretty understandable. However it has been pointed out that several children go missing each year but none of them get the level of publicity and resources which have been devoted to this case.
The problem with old people is that they can never seem to understand that the world moves on and things change. 'Good old fashioned family values'. Sounds like a song out of 'Family Guy', maybe you are harking back to the days when 'children were seen and not heard', when discipline meant 'a good strapping' with a belt, when the little wife looked after the home, cooked the food and that was that. Yeah, really good old fashioned values.
HaHa! Another desperado from a cess pit country, no doubt looking for a visa to a better life? What an attractive proposition that must be for the average woman.
Your blog indicates you really dont have a clue. Young woman gets financial security, she usually comes from a poor(er) country. Older guy gets to wake up with a young woman. It's a fair trade.
Strange how you lot have so much freedom under the precious constitution, yet loads of you are not allowed to drink or gamble (or whatever else) under archaic religious grounds. Some freedom.
Nowhere like Manila, a great place to be. Just be aware that every girl there - with no exceptions - couldn't care less about you as a person and just want to improve their lot in life. Nothing wrong with that so long s you are aware.
It means that the stupid country, the US, has reached it's debt ceiling. Who owns the debt? China. so the US should just refuse to pay the debt, simple.
