How hard is it to answer a simple question.
What should a school leaver do now to become a real man, some financial ideas on how to do it would back up your argument.
Look it at this way, you keep saying I did it wrong, but you can't tell me what the right way is.
I have the balls to question a clear idiot like yourself yet you don't have the balls to even answer the question, who is the man and who is pathetic again?Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

Good God lad your intelligence is really really lacking when you cannot think for yourself, even to the point when others have placed key pointers directly in front of you. It is absolutelly crystal clear what a school leaver at 18 would have done and what their option for further eduction were. What's not so clear, and which is repeatedly questioned by us all is what a pre-mature school leaver was doing leaving prematurely and what he did during his 30 years till now. Clearly it's proving to be hard question to answer. But believe us all its a very easy question to ask to such a man-baby. :THow hard is it to answer a simple question.

So tell me what a school leaver should do, stop avoiding the question. Just imagine a young 16 year old has just left school and asking you how to become a man, what would you tell him?
Its really not a hard question, but it seems you don't have an answer so keep throwing insults at me, you really are showing yourself up as the small pathetic excuse of a man you are.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

I'm was one of those single women that bought at 29 with my own hard earned professional money.
I've now just moved into my new husbands house and we are looking to buy a house together with cash built from the business he's worked hard at over the last 10 years and my house is being rented out at over £150 a month more than the mortgage. I expect my husband to be able to provide for me when we have kids as there is no way he can physically breast feed (which I hope to do) therefore it has to be me that takes most of the maternity leave. (Albeit, I work in a family business too now so it's a bit easier.) If he failed at his business I would still love him and be able to support the family with my own career and money but I believe I'd 1) be not impressed and 2) our family life would suffer. I do agree that some men are able to play more of the homemaker role but for the record, I do believe we are genetically programmed to have certain roles.
I have some friends who have married men who wouldn't be able to provide for their wife whilst kids appear and although they say it's fine, I don't need more than 3 months maternity - they're good enough friends for me to know that is not what they'd choose and it's purely financial they're going back to work.0 -
You seem to have lost the plot of your own thread. What has this got to do with the man/woman buying divide again ?
Why don't you also criticize the single woman who is still living at home with mummy ?
I criticise both equally but there are no woman-babies, approaching their 30's still living with mummy, on here trying to defend the indefensible.0 -
Jimmy 31 - I've just spotted that you also have an account as 'rewired' ... and that you log on as that user to thank yourself!!!
You need help ... really, seriously, you do!
This is quite amusing in the context that both you and "reweird" use the same "man-baby" term, and both make the same grammatical error by saying "mummies" instead of "mummy's" and that reweird always thanks your posts.0 -
You might not agree with me, but for most women statistically they do more around the house.
You used the word, "guaranteed" Not anything about in general, more women do more....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
While as women we have greater opportunities, I do think many women have more stresses, the housework as well as the career and I know many wives, who do do more work. Their husbands might do more around the house, but they are still the one who do more.
And ultimately that is their choice, if they are prepared to be 'the little women' who tends to her beloveds every need and whim whilst he goes to hang out with his mates, go to football, watch football or does his own thing without making an 'equal contribution' to the relationship and its responsibilities then more fool them, then they only have themselves to blame. My life and time is not worth less than my partners, I am not his mother, he is not my child, he is an adult, if I wanted a child I would have a baby!Dont wait for your boat to come in 'Swim out and meet the bloody thing'

The comments on the article in the opening post are the most enjoyable i've seen for a while, especially the ones with loads of negative ratings. Typical daily mail article post a statistic and then just make up some rot to go along with it. One of the birds sounds an absolute nightmare! Good job they're all just characatures, life would've pretty crap if all girls were like that.0
