What gives so many men the idea to settle for relationships?

It absolutley breaks my heart to see guys signing on and shacking up with these women at such frequency. Its like seeing somone burn their hand on a flame, then a second later stick their hand right back on. Hopefully a few of you guys read this today. {There is nothing gained from being in a relationship with a woman; and in fact much is lost}





Women hinder a man financially, ruin relationships with his friends, hurt his personal ambitions- I didnt even mention how it unnerves a man personally. I see this guys out with their girlfriends, and the analogy comes to mind of going to the beach, you know enjoying yourself having a great time for a few hours. Then at the end of the day you grab a bucketfull of sand and take it home with you. Like the sand isn't going to be there next time you come. This sounds silly right? This is exactly what a lot of guys are doing with these women.





There are millions of women right out your front door, why in the hell do you need to lock one up?What gives so many men the idea to settle for relationships?
They want a family, children, someone to take care of them, and something with meaning.





When they grow up (which I'm sure is not something you know about), they want these things. Real men don't want emptiness in their lives.





Women are not community property. You're obviously a deeply disturbed little pig.What gives so many men the idea to settle for relationships?
Misogyny is a mental and social disease.
Men just need to be more aware, more selective.
Im with you and gunfan
Those are good points. The reason for these problems is feminism. Women today think men ';owe'; them so they take as much as possible from us and give as little as possible back.





Know what I do? I make women WORK to catch me. I make her invest time and energy so its not so easy for her to walk away. If your smart you will make her invest more that you invest... especially emotionally.
Hey, if all you want is an emtpy, emotionless sex-only relationship, there's no reason for relationship.





But if someone desires something that actually has meaning, perhaps that's why they ';settle'; for relationships.
It is better to love and lost than never loved at all .





We all get hurt . Men now more than ever due to the political socialogical climate.I know where you are comming from.For the foreseeable future men will get the raw end of the deal .





That doesnt mean we should not risk .


That does not mean we should not dare.





What it does mean is a lot of us men will have to get vasectomies .A lot of us men have payed the price and have gotten trapped . A lot of have had our finances ruined .There is no denying men are at a disadvantage here. We are going to have to adapt to protect our interest while still being human .Still being able to be thinking and feeling beings with all the good and the bad that it entails.





Men and women are social creatures .For better or worse we need each other .





It is not how many times you get knocked down . It is how many times you get back up.
well from what i had experienced, my bf wanted to get married, have a family blah balh blah, moved who knows where, blah blah blah, all because he saw how his mama and dad, have been 2gether for 28 years and have gone up and down but are still with each other and a happy family.... sharing eachothers feelings all the time, have dinner on the table and eat as a family, well sorry babe that wasn't me :D

Er, they grow up??





Also, they want children and a family and unconditional love.





Of course you have a right to your opinion and maybe relationships are not for you....which is cool.....but for some guys, a family and loving wife can be very rewarding.





Otherwise, when you are 70, alone, wrinkled and on the beach, there will be no-one who will sit by your side.....
Men should just stay single, Men always get screw in a relationship, especially in a marriage.





MEN PLEASE DON'T GET MARRIED!
I have so many things to say; thing that may surprise you, yet I understand this is a men only discussion and I respect that.


Allow me to say one thing and one thing only if you please.


I have never told a man who he can and cannot be friends with, and I will never do that.


Thank you for listening. I understand I am putting myself on the line because I can't physically prove it.
