Apparently single women have it easier than single men. They tend to have a circle of close female friends. They thrive on their connections where they share and support each other.
Single dudes don’t do this very well. They tend to drink and bitch about sports.
Men typically want the approval of women.
That whole Oedipus and Electra thing? It’s a thing. Freud, though frequently wrong, was correct about a few things.
There are a lot of weak men out there who perhaps aren’t looking to nurse per se, but they are looking for a mommy.
My Nanny confirmed this.
Once your granddad died, there was line of men a mile long who wanted to spend time with me. I knew better than that. They pretended to be romantic. Really though, all they wanted was someone to cook and clean for them.
As a married man, if I had to do everything Laura does, I’d be overwhelmed.
But when I was a kid, I didn’t realize this. I didn’t need a mom. I needed a girl to like me.
I only made it through school by following my penis.
Really.
If my high school or university class had a cute girl there, I’d go. If not, I’d either drop it or lose interest.
Subject matter be damned! I wanted to look smart so girls would like me and then maybe later we’d have sex.
That’s the only reason I’d do anything.
It seems that a lotta guys are like this.
There are some who’d even say they were your friends then swoop in aggressively and get all competitive for the approval of the contested lady.
All of this used to drive me nuts.
Now though?
I’m married.
I no longer care nor need to impress women or be politically correct.
(studies show that women are far more likely to be left leaning than men)
Now, I can say things like: End affirmative action now!
Or
Individual responsibility is more important than systemic factors
Or
Woke nonsense is killing our universities
Or
Foucault was a pedophile
And the kind of women I used to want to impress?
They don’t like it.
It sends them ‘all of the wrong / problematic signals’.
Are you in a long term and stable relationship?
How has this given you more freedom to be yourself?
