Men's Memes: The man shortage

The man shortage

If you are a single, never-married man, then at least you can take some pleasure in knowing that you are denying a woman somewhere of an ex-husband.

Seems like women are getting more and more desperate to find themselves a husband, but in their desperation they are self-destructing. They seem to have no clue about how to go about it. In fact they do the opposite of what they should.

For example, if you want an up-to-the-minute snapshot of the dating scene in your area, do a search on one of the dating websites. First enter yourself as a single male looking for women in your age range, then go back and enter yourself as a single woman looking for men in your age range. That way you'll get a good picture of both the men and women, who they are, how they are presenting themselves and what they are looking for.

I did this and the men, in general, presented themselves quite well. Good smiling portraits of themselves, brief descriptions of their interests etc. The women, however, don't seem to have a clue! For example, rather than list the things they are interested in, most of them simply declare that they are 'interesting, funny, intelligent, easily bored etc'. Er, yes dear, I'm sure you are, but we'll be the judge of that. If a man was boasting about being intelligent, interesting and so on, yet didn't actually name a single interest or hobby (and, no, shopping, clubbing and socialising DON'T count), then people would think hes a lying idiot. But somehow the women get away with it. Or at least they think they can.

Reading some of the women's descriptions is like watching them chuck up all the feminist buzz-words they've been consuming over the last couple of decades. Hence we find no shortage of women who are 'fiesty' and 'independent'. Yawn. Take a look at the men's profiles, ladies. Notice how many of the men list under their 'turn offs' in a woman 'power, money and sarcasm'? Its a joy to behold!

One woman on there begins her description thus: "I am a fiery and confident woman who is finding it harder and harder to meet intelligent, open and interesting men..."

Oh dear, I wonder why??

She goes on to say "Like extremes, hate to be bored.", then continues to big herself up for several boring sentences without really convincing anyone that she is that interesting. But the jewel in the crown of her profile is her photo: rather than just a friendly portrait of herself, she is pictured in a moody, black and white shot hugging some bare-chested young man, who I suppose we are to assume is an ex-boyfriend.

I mean, GET A FREAKING CLUE LADIES!

Captain Zarmband said...: These female statements about themselves shows that most modern women have completely digested the Feminist nonsense that they are some sort of superior being and entitled to be treated like royalty for no other reason than they are female. It also reveals the enormous size of their egos.

It is indeed surprising that they never seem to twig why it is that they are still alone despite running through many relationships, most of which were, without doubt, brief.They just do not get it.

Here's some tips for unattached females who wish to get a man from these dating sites.

1) Men DO NOT like - borish, arrogant, self righteous, self-obsessed, aggressive, over-opinionated, smug, deceitful, manipulative, loud-mouthed, unintelligent half-wits.

2) Men Do Like - femininity, kindness, humility, quiet common sense, compasion, genuine intelligence and good humour.

Interestingly, you are unlikely to see any of these listed in a woman's dating site profile which reveals how ignorant modern women are about what men really want.; 10:54 am

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
