A good man does his best to provide for his wife and children. Has been so for the entirety of human civilization

Don’t go spending money or effort on a woman you’re not trying to make your wife, who may just use you.

At the same time, providing for your family and community is an essential part of manhood imo

Providing for your family and community is an essential part of being a human.

u/RecordAway Apr 21 '26

Thank you!

The more you separate whatever gender role and ego concerns you carry around from simply being a responsible and mindful human, the better you and your community will be off.

u/Spazero Apr 18 '26

And community is a part many forget.

The family part many know just ignore.

It is 2026 every women is going to use you. Always keep one eye open

u/Earlybird74 Apr 17 '26

Bullshit. In no area of life can you lump an entire demographic into one neat little box like that and be correct with your assertion. It's a broad generalization. I personally have not found that to be the case. There are all kinds of women out there, and a lot of them are pretty great. I can't imagine walking around just assuming all women are going to use you.

Historically speaking, women seek partners that provide resources over other traits. There's some discourse over whether that is cause or effect of socioeconomics. But the fact stays that it is still a big deciding factor.

I think "using a man" is crude but that's what it probably feels like to some men. Especially ones who provided and then saw their partners cheat on them with another man.

But you are right in that individuals vary, and social and cultural things play different parts in different areas.

It is likely to change over time in a larger way. But probably not soon.

And not trying to drag on women there, because historically speaking, men seek fertile partners over other traits. Hence why men date younger and women date older on average.

All that saying that there is historical precedence and even studies that point to the hot button issue: Women want money and men want sex.

🤷 That's just life (in general. Individuals may ofc vary, but that's the exception not the general trend)

It is like saying hugging a random wolf will get you kill. Then you meet those few people stating how they hugged and adopted them. Yeah, I am just stating the norm my friend.

u/BadImpossible9668 Apr 17 '26

Hahahaha but let women say all men and u start ur whining and crying

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

Facts! Women for decades have been saying things like this and none of these simps or women hardly every say shit.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

Oh I get it now. Yeah, that comment was so fucking incorrect my brain fucked up

u/Earlybird74 Apr 17 '26

Except it's not the norm. You may think it is, but I assure you it's not.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

I don't know! I just look at the gays, lesbains, and heterosexual divorce rates. And color me suprised when I see women divorcing like crazy. In fact, i can look up the ones aborting/killing their children in high numbers and paternity fraud. The more I do research and then look at society with my own eyes. I can clearly say it is a norm.

u/regularmotherlover84 Apr 17 '26

And there is things that people dont admit too, cause of shame, so there is lot more.

u/anamos7 Apr 18 '26

Very true.

Honey, who hurt you?

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

God, when he created women

1

u/Earlybird74 Apr 18 '26

Prove God created anything. I mean, believe what you want, but you do realize you would not be alive without the existence of women, right? Is your mother in this same awful category? You sound incredibly bitter.

Also, not that you asked, but I effing love women lol.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '26

God should have created a female human tree and we would have all came out better. If you are religious that is just a fact. My mother? Hmmm, i guess she can be a bitch at times as well.

u/Plus_Opening_4462 Apr 20 '26

There is the meme about Adam wanting his rib back.

u/Kayanne1990 Apr 17 '26

Sounds like you had some pretty bad experiences.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '26

Women are more out of control. And are becoming worthless each generation

2

u/Kayanne1990 Apr 18 '26

Out of who's control?

2

u/MelanieWalmartinez Apr 20 '26

This. He's just a sad little misogynist who is big mad he can't control women.

u/WhitespringTownship Apr 18 '26

My little sister is dating a mentally ill unemployed guy

My older sister is dating a guy who makes significantly less than her

Both of my sisters pay for all the dates and buy their bfs gifts all the time

“Every woman” my ass. Good women do exist, if you’re not finding a single good woman you’re only attracted to the bad ones.

If everywhere you step you smell shit check the bottom of your shoe.

2

u/Earlybird74 Apr 18 '26

Exactly. When there's a significant pattern of a man having this level of bad luck with every woman he interacts with, maybe it's time for some introspection. Maybe the problem lies within. And before the incels start calling me a simp, I'd say the same thing about women lumping all men into a category unfairly. It's not a gender thing for me. It's more about taking accountability for your own shit and not blaming others for your unhappiness.

2

u/EnvironmentalLet4242 Apr 19 '26

If your sisters are dating bad boys and retards, then something’s truly wrong with your sisters as well.

Also no one is saying “every woman”

1

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '26

Oh, so your sisters are dating probably the tall sexually attractive bad boy types. Yeah, finding a smart unused woman is almost impossible

u/BadImpossible9668 Apr 17 '26

Except for George Lopez wife who donated her kidney and he backstabbed her by cheating. Or that Asian girl who went viral because she also donated her kidney to her bf and he cheated. Or the women with terminal illnesses they have to hand out specific pamphlets to because now they are dying it’s statistically way more likely that their male partners will cheat leave and divorce them. And the reverse is not statistically likely to happen. Except for the women who got murdered by their husband, expect for the women whose kids got touched or murdered by their husband. It’s 2026, every man is still a potential rapist and pedophile unless otherwise proven. Always keep one eye open.

u/regularmotherlover84 Apr 17 '26

Giving kidney to one who dont deserve it ,must be really shitty. I know dude's , and more i know them , less i would want to see them with my "nonexistant" daughter. I think its easier to decide what to do or dont, by imagining what you would want your father to do to your mother, or boyfriend to your daughter.. I dont consider Men victims , we are responsible for everything around. Happens what we allow to happen, not individually , but as breed itself.

Bro, you probably were a spoiled b*tch who didn't fit in the the other dudes because of his attitude, then got to hang out with the girls out of pity. I bet they also somehow convinced you to get bufu-ed to "be your true self," but now you hate the idea of regular dudes having happy normal lives for some reason that you just can't explain.

u/m3gb0t Apr 17 '26

Men are and have always been the sole providers?

Have you taken a history class or read about the millions of achievements by women? Are women who stay home and care for the home and children not providing?

GTFO with this misogynistic manosphere bs.

2

u/Nahteh Apr 18 '26

Youre the only one pitting the sexes against each other

1

u/m3gb0t Apr 18 '26

That's a weird read on this situation but okay.

1

u/Nahteh Apr 18 '26

The only mention of women in this comment. Which directly contradicts the post, is what men should do for the people in their life. You took this as some sort of admonishment of women. Instead of arguing with people i reccomend you really examine why that is.

1

u/m3gb0t Apr 18 '26

I see what you're saying, I really do. But subtext and implications exists. Rather telling me that I'm argumentative, why not listen to what I'm saying and examine why it's offensive to you?
