Is it just me or all the younger women just..

Well the target market now for games are guys in their late 20s to early 30's. People with expendable income without a family. I still play games regularly but never let it interfere with a social life. My last couple g/f's are the ones the bought my games as presents after i did something nice for them.

If you aren't an idiot you can actually find girls that like games too...



I think this thread is becoming a dead horse.

I'm not saying people should give them up, I mean I grew up with video games and still play them from time to time. But the amount of adults that into video games more than I was as a kid never ceases to amaze me. I mean they make a Call of Duty edition Jeep that people actually bought. How sad is that.

[Stanley Rockafella]

It amazes how many adults are pathetically into video games.

I gave up video games after the first Gran Turismo

I think a big problem is too many of the young guys out there today have turned into whiners and spend all day on internet forums. Girls have seen this and have moved onto more reliable things like chocolate and money.

A big ass plus 1.

I work with nurses. Number 1 complaint is the above. Without fail. Young, secure, fun seeking, on a career path at 23 and already tired of boys. I hear all about video games, sports (guy turns on the baseball game after they get back to their hotel), quit his job, again! The list goes on and on.

Gentlemen, it is a target rich environment out there for the guy who has confidence, direction and manners. You don't have to go for missile lock every time. Go for tone. You decide if you engage or not. I believe if you have balls use them.

Right now there is no shortage of women half my age that want the above. There should be no way I am able to harvest the field the way I can. It goes against nature. What do I do? Open the door for them. Plan an evening. You will be amazed at how quickly the phone goes into the purse. Or the night stand.

The only dinner and a movie invite involves a rented projector and a flat outdoor wall. "Yes baby, I brought dinner." Gentlemen, we drive the bus. We make the stops. They want to ride.

You will get what you put out there. That being said, I need to get ready to pick up a younger woman for our date today. A nice hotel downtown, drinks on the roof, poolside and watching the fireworks. Oh yeah, room service.

BTW, meet a nurse. But be ready. She is.

because the 1940's happened over 70 years.

things happened, and that comparison falls under the same paradox as assuming that just because someone is of a certain ethnicity they must automatically be good at basketball/math/piano/chess etc.

Wait...so you're telling me all blacks are not the best at basketball? What about those Asian drivers? surely they cannot be good at that now too...

I should have been born a male, I'm way too selfish and don't even want to think about marriage or kids or anything that comes along with it.

gender has nothing to do with it. i just started work at a new place and a incredible number of the younger guys (<25) i work with are married. it's really surprising me.

those of you that are so vehemently opposed to marriage.. perhaps you've never been with a truly great person. have you never felt that inexplicable pull? sometimes it just sneaks up on you, irregardless of plans, personal mantras, prior commitments.. i admit, it's frightening. it should be, it's a very serious commitment.

marriage isn't for everyone.. it's for two people. so unless you know their exact situation, refrain from judging the institution.

I think you seem to have me confused with someone else. I dont care what women do with their time. When I am home I cook, she cooks, I help her with the house and what not we have a partnership. I have issues with the rest of society treating her as 2ed class citizen because she chooses to not work and stays at home to take care of that. I am gone for long periods and there is a lot work to be done here to keep things from falling down around our ears. Because I am able to provide a better living than many house holds can with 2 incomes, she is some how a bad person for not going into the work force then???

Equality rights my ass, its only equality rights when your doing what is P/C, when you buck that trend, and are "more traditional" or not towing that line you become a bigot or hate monger right. See your quoted post for this mind set way to go for making my point for me.

No its not the 40's most women were still "homemakers" in the 50's though some did still work. You can thank the fucking FEMINISTS of the 1960's and 1970's for telling women that they had to work outside the home, and debased staying home barefoot and pregnant taking care of the man and kids, something we still see as a negative stereotype to this day..... (Unless of course your wife makes more than you do and are a stay at home dad that a great thing in the eye of the modern feminist 100% role reversal). An we wonder why the world is going to hell and todays youth have such a proclivity to run amok so easily, no one ever around but the TV to parent, teach and mentor the next generation.

I could really care less to ever get married. I don't need government documentation to tell me I love someone, nor do I need the added expense or complication. Staying a couple is more simple and better off in the long run.

While I tend to agree with you and I and the little woman are the embodiment of this mantra we are working on 14 years together. I will say once you have been together a long while the expense is minimal and the complication is much less than one would think. If we were to go down to the Magistrates office and file the paper work the cost is less than 200 bucks. The pay off is that we then being married would save us nearly a 1000 bucks a month, in the added tax benefits and being able to put her on my H/C plan and not having to shell out 625 a month for duplicate coverage from an over the counter source. It would also ENTITLE her to all the next of kin rights with out having to produce power of attorney paperwork, there by making things much simpler if something bad were to happen to me, and not have to fight with my family over things or my estate.

The flip side of this is, if things do ever go sour we can both just go our dam way and I dont end up paying for house I am not allowed to live in, 1/2 -2/3 of my assets, and have to pay her 4k a month or better just to be rid of her. As it is now I cut her a decent check to get by on her own for a few months till she can get on her feet, sign off on her truck, give her all her stuff and send her on her marry way. Its much cheaper if you ever feel that things might just go south, if you remain in a "couple" only kinda relationship.

There is 1 other issue that you must deal with in this situation in a long term relations ship. and that the common law marriage laws of the state you live in. Many of the states consider you married after 7 years of living together and if you go splitsville you or she can actually file for divorce, if it can be proven that you have lived as a marred couple for 7 years, and thats not all that hard to do with bank statements and insurance statements, how long you have shared an address yadda yadda yadda.........

Why can women not COOK anymore, I know more men that can cook than women.

I am not with my girl for her cooking skills.
