40% of Women Under 44 Want to Leave the U.S. Permanently.

What makes American women think we will take them? I mean, OK, American women are pretty good mothers and they are superior to all other women in bed, but they can't cook, can't clean properly, they are as intelligent as cows, and they keep your life insurance policy and a pistol within reach at all times. :omg:
You lot aren't real bright if you tell women they are 'as intelligent as cows' while they have a pistol within reach.
 
To answer your question directly… HELL YES!!!!

Life is about doing what is proper, not what is easy, fun or enjoyable. Right and Wrong we’re determined tens of thousands of years ago when we first started living in communities. The fact that we have better technology now doesn’t change those ideals.

I don’t see my wife as a servant. We see the relationship as a partnership where each of us have our duties and responsibilities that we’re in charge of. They pretty much fall in line with traditional roles of yester-year. We don’t cloud things up with emotions.

Well, that is awesome and good luck with your hunting and gathering. Those dang emotions can always get in the way, servants need only do what they are told, and who gives a damn how they feel anyway?

I hunt pretty well for a city slicker. We don’t go hungry, that’s for sure. I bring the bacon home and my wife does an excellent job of cooking it.

Emotions do get in the way. It took a long time friend of mine more than 30 years to realize that her emotional attachment to her worthless, lazy, NEET husband was destroying her life. Yet she still stays married to him because they’ve become so completely codependent that they can’t live without each other.

If anything my wife would tell you I’m the servant. I’m the one who has to work, make the decisions, maintain the house, control the finances, etc… while she gets to just cook, clean, keep the house, and try to write the great American novel.

I am not asking you for advice, and it is of no consequence to me what you tell women through your words or your actions, or tell yourself for that matter. How you think that has anything to do with my intelligence, is merely amusing to me.

I was not replying to you.

Lighten up! The guy was talking to me, not you. Jeeze!

Oh sweetie, you don't have to tell me more. I said that was awesome for you and wished you luck. You've obviously worked it out with your servant and made sure she knows what she gets to do and what the rules are. She is working, and maintaining the house, but doesn't get to make any decisions, and you probably keep a pretty tight lid on the finances.

Hahaha. Yeah she knows what the rules are. She makes most of the decisions inside the house. Our Christmas tree is already up. Given my choice it wouldn’t have gone up until Sunday (when Advent starts). I am far more liberal with the finances than my father ever was with my mother.

The thing you may find most humorous is that this lifestyle is something SHE asked for even before I brought it up. She comes from a very uncontrolled and chaotic background. She is 100% disabled with PTSD as well, though very capable. We got her off SSDI, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP when we got married.

I can understand how that could be appealing to the both of you, and as I have mentioned, you've already worked that out. I have seen better and worse by all measures but have no desire to interfere with what works for the both of you.

The only problem I would have is if you think that is a master plan for all, which you seem to. People are different in infinite ways, and what works for you is not necessarily ideal for everyone. Just think about it this way, if the two of you are secure with the arrangement, and all of your basic needs are accounted for, then you have successfully reached the bottom of Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs.
 
Women should not be allowed anywhere near the finances. When my wife told me she wanted a joint bank account I told her she can dream about it.

Financial capabilities are usually when men tap out of a relationship, when the woman can earn more than the man does. You could make a guess as to why that happens, but it's not really hard to figure out. Of course there are some men who can hang in there, but usually to the chagrin of other men.

I would suggest that we’re much higher on the chart than that. Obviously there’s no love (in either direction), but we have the safety and belonging pieces dealt with as well. Esteem could be questioned. I don’t believe most of the top level of the pyramid are possible in this reality.

I have learnt to never trust women. Let them have access to my bank account I can just as well kiss my savings goodbye. If a woman insists on a joint account she can stick it and go elsewhere.

Maslow's Hierarchy is not about what you have achieved as much as it is about what you are capable of achieving once certain things are satisfied. Adding complications such as the lack of love and esteem issues threatens the foundation in security outside of survival and would actually push you further down the pyramid.

However, you are correct in suggesting that most people do not escape the lower two levels of the pyramid, but that does not reflect what is reality for those that do, and who are not restricted to the reality of what you are, having not escaped what is necessary to even think about what is possible otherwise.

That is also not a bad thing, because if everyone was able to escape the basic needs, then they would explore and become engaged in activities not restricted to the basic needs. We would most likely not have problems with overpopulation and some uncurable social ills, because people would be doing things to a higher standard, and simply raising children and getting by would no longer be as fulfilling.

See, it not only applies, but it also works and could be part of the Perfect Design. We would most likely go extinct if some people were not forced to settle for less.

We should all be settling for less. How many people truly need a cellular phone that could launch the space shuttle? Very few. None of us truly need a 73” 8K flat screen plasma tv. If we returned to having the things we need and only a few luxuries, we would make this world so much easier and better. We don’t need to cars in my family. Definitely not two luxury cars, replaced every 4-5 years. My wife doesn’t even have a drivers license (or Hs diploma)

Those that feel the dire need to settle for less, are suffering their own insecurities and hierarchy. That's what Maslow's is all about, and whether or not you can escape yourself, and even think of how things could be different. That's why you are stuck at the bottom of the pyramid, because however awesome you think what you are doing is, it doesn't allow you to think of anything more or better. It's so rigid and confining that it binds you to the stump.

You don't need to keep telling me what you think, because it is obvious you cannot think otherwise. Any justification or validation you may access in telling me is strictly to satisfy your insecurities, and the base of the pyramid which is focused on personal security outside of basic survival.

The fact you are still breathing, is a success to some degree. Here's your trophy, you've made it, all the way to the bottom.
