This topic is for all guys everywhere.

This topic is from the guys who have BTDT in the world of women, and are still living to tell the tale.

For starters on this. No pictures or personal info about your ex's.

Try to keep your emotions down if it was a bad break up. This is really for reference for another guy so he doesn't make the same mistake with maybe the same woman or the same type of woman.

Keep in mind that this post and topic will be updated frequently, as my memory gets foggy.

If you're a woman and you find this offensive, then tough shit. You probably did it yourself. So fuck off. In the words of Carlos Santana, "You've got to change your evil ways. Baby. Before I stopped loving you."

Now that the PC aspect is covered...

Here we go...

Never date, or attempt to go after a woman with a tattoo of an apex-type predator, i.e. a shark. I was with a woman who had just this of a shark, and she had more weaponry than me, and was extremely crazy. In the end we had a fight, and she said that if I bought her a certain type of pistol then she would forgive me. I didn't trust her with it around me or anyone, so I promptly dumped her right there.

Never date any girl/woman under the age of 18. I came across one many years ago, and she was only interested in having her cherry busted and nothing else. Some are saying, why not? Jailtime, that's why, and she was 1 month away from her 18th. The little hussy ended up calling it off after I refused to tell her what I was getting her for her birthday. Stupid, but true.

Never tell any woman, that you are looking to have a serious relationship with, that you are interested in becoming a member of our country's special forces. I have had 6 relationships end just off of that.

In the words of a friend of mine describing a redhead he used to date,"She liked to fuck." This has so far been true for all redheads, and hasn't changed from the redheads I've seen.

Never discuss your career with a woman. They don't care. Just do it, and let them know that you're both moving, when the moving truck pulls up to the curb.

If the chick you're with right now asks you why you need so many guns/knives/<insert stuff for your hobby here>, then ask them why they have so much useless crap themselves.

Never pick up or marry a chick has spent her adult life in a bar partying. Generally that habit is hard to break, and you don't need the stress or bullshit associated with it.

If you are dating a single mom, and she has her claws into her kids life, then you will take a backseat right behind the kid.

I was in an area where all the skinny women were prudes(that is actually noble sometimes), and all of the fat women were sluts. This was found out by a venereal disease that ended up getting passed to every guy that went down with a hefty.

If she cheats on you, and blames you, then she will cheat on you again.

If you spoil, and buy her lots of presents then she might do the above for some reason. A friend of mine once said "Never buy a woman anything with a high price tag, until your 20th wedding anniversary with her." I'll need independent confirmation on this.

If you're in a close relationship with a Russian girl, then keep a close eye on her at all times. You were warned. I had a friend who married one. Next thing he knows is that she's been with every dick she could find, and she claimed it was all his fault for that(See above

)

Expect to get in frequent fights with any women who is hot blooded. This includes Mexican, Spanish, and Italian women. The quid pro quo for this is that the love making is outstanding.

I had an issue with all the white women from Louisiana, that I met, being pregnant, or already having a child. I can't say that this is true for all white women from LA, and I won't until someone give me an independent confirmation on this.

If she doesn't have that much respect for you when you're dating, then it won't change.

Never marry a slut. If she said that she has cheated on every guy she has been with then do what you want with her, and leave. FAST.

If she expects you to get her an $800+ DLSR camera and she has no clue what ISO stands for or means, then you've just met a gold-digger This is true for any item.

If she jokes about cheating on you then leave her. She isn't taking it seriously. Serious matters, are not joking matters. If you don't feel like your relationship is serious then go ahead and joke with her about it. Suggest a threesome while your at it, and don't be surprised if the spoiled bitch wants a guy instead of a chick.

Once you take your chick to a sex party...she will never leave.

If she has difficulty finding time for you, then she has difficulty finding time for your relationship. Tell her to knock the shit off if it's a serious relationship. When she asks why, hold up the ring and say that's why.

Pay attention to how she treats her former flames. Never talk to any of them either. Their business, not yours, and there are two sides to every story.

Chicks who applaud stories of women cheating, stealing, and/or leaving their partners should be kept away from at all times.

A woman who preaches equality is unwilling to take a punch from a man, but all too willing to slap a man, and claim they are protected because they are a woman.(This isn't an excuse, or recommendation, for domestic violence)

Any woman who tells you to "be a man and do <insert action here>", has no fucking clue what they are talking about, and is just using you for her own selfish purpose. Walk away.

If she has dumped you, and the break up was messy, and she is with another guy, and is still talking to you, then she intends to use you as her back up plan in case she is dumped by the guy she is with. Avoid this drama causing trap for your own stress free benefit.

If she is being secretive, not telling you any of the mundane, boring stuff in her life, with you then there is something wrong. If you are trying to pursue a relationship, or keep this relationship active, then do something and quick. Some signs will be if she stops talking to you suddenly via e-mail, IM, or cell/text, and blames it on bad internet or cell service. This last part has to be repetitive. Singular incidents don't count.

If she calls you up, and accuses you of cheating on her, and you are working(or not cheating on her), then take it with a grain of salt and tell her to calm down. She more than likely wants to pursue a more serious relationship, but, if you feel that she is worth the commitment, you must advise her that if she feels this way, then she must calm down and not make any needless drama. Tell her that she is more than welcome to visit you on your break(or where you are currently at) and see for herself. I had this situation happen to me when I was working at an airfield, and she stopped arguing when a Blackhawk came in to land proving my point to her. Drama causes stress for both parties.

Add your own now. Relationships are brutal sometimes, and since all is fair in love and war, then stay clear of the 'Helen of Troy' types that want you to kill someone for them...

Re: The Relationship AAR.

If you go to a hole in the wall jazz club and she starts in with a bunch of sentences with the "N" word, she has a drinking problem and you need to leave her there and work it out on her own with the locals.
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Had a gf that would cuss more than should be allowed for a girl. That was part of the reason I ended it. Afterwards she said she would stop, but it didn't happen.

I'd go one further- If you want all your relationships to be successful, don't date anyone you wouldn't want to be the mother of your kids.

All of the bad relationships start with people who shouldn't make the cut.

But thats how you find out if she's worthy to be the mother of your children, by dating her and finding it out. Plus it can be pretty fun in in the discovery process.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: CS1983</div><div class="ubbcode-body">If you're not willing to have a kid with her, don't put your dick in her. If you're willing to have a kid with her, do the right thing and get married. </div></div>Dumbest thing you have ever posted. I quoted it so you can hopefully learn from it.

Kids don't come from putting your dick in women. I know what you're thinking. "But how do we know for certain?"
---I don't have any kids. And I've put my dick in a ridiculously long line of women. Better still, my results are not unique.

Kids instead come from letting a pregnant woman give birth to a baby. Every baby will cost you $1mil minimum. What would you be willing to do for that kind of money?

Things I've learned:

-She's single for a reason.
-Control the sex. One of you will. Life will be easier if it's you.
-Encourage anything she wants to do which will make her more attractive. Gym membership, healthy habits, etc. You can spring board off of her new improved self just as easily as she can.
-Capitalize on her own contempt for her female friends.
-Ignore her past relationships. All other guys are now eternally referred to as "what's his name". This works gangbusters for her current guy if taking is your sport.
-Decide from day 1 your route if she has kids. Be upfront about it in a clear straightforward conversation. Then stick to your course of action at all times. Do not deviate.
-Women with kids should now be thought of as "uncle ben's instant family". Because you are now being thought of as "replacement father figure".
-Having kids proves she likes sex. Being single with kids proves she makes decisions without regard for their effect on others.
-Tattoos equal -5 intelligence/+5 poor decision rationalization for everyone one she has. Fun and wild isn't so fun when her antics cost you money and headache.
-Your money. Her Money. Most relationship problems solved instantly.
-Lend her money if you want, but you're passing up a perfect chance to get a non hooker to do some pretty hookerish shit. She's also in a position to do some stuff well outside her comfort zone, because she needs the money. Now you're taken a poor returning hassle and turned it into money well spent.
-Everything you will still want when/if the relationship ends goes in your name. Makes hitting the ground running easier. Also takes a lot of wind out of vengeful sails.
-Maintain your options. Maintain her options as well. Discuss the importance of this. She's welcome to go whenever she wants, without much difficulty. But so are you. Options are safety--not being in a relationship. Most women have never been taught this. And I've seen it level out some previously crazy swinging ones to a calm usually associated with meditating monks.

Planning your relationships to far forward is dumb. Do you want to be with her today? How about tomorrow? In the end you can look back and go, "Wow, we've been together for 2 years and a lot/nothing happened". But you will never be able to get close to guessing what's coming. You will never get today back. You might get tomorrow, you might not. But today is spent. Worry about today. And if she doesn't fit today, well then how about tomorrow? Life is too short to go wasting days on purpose.
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Never quit your job for a woman.

I was living with this chick for 3 years ( dating for 4 ). From day 1 I told her about how as soon as I could I was taking a job on a ship. Soo 2 years of living together I get the job on the ship working 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off. A year later she tells me that she loves me and wants to be with me, have kids,the whole 9 yards BUT I have to quit my job and be home full time. So like a moron I quit a awesome paying job on a ship I waited 3 years to get on. 2 months .... TWO , TWO MONTHS after getting home she dumps me. After feeding me all that crap she tells me that she doesn't feel the same and that its over.
They wouldn't give me my spot on the ship back

If a woman give you a ultimatum tell her to pound sand

Amen to that.

I got out of the Army for a women, didn't persue anything that I wanted to go for while I was in 'cause I was too busy chasin' the poon. She and I have been married for 8 1/2 years, have 2 daughters, and are happy. Likely a fluke, but i'll take it. I still regret all the time not staying in and doing everything I wanted to accomplish while serving. I wanted to stay in, but she said she wasn't going to stick around and wait for me to get out.

Ya I think you just got lucky
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Only break up if you mean it, and make it permanent when you do.

Dont try to stay friends, dont keep on fuckn either. sex leads to having to talk to them again which will get you right back to where you were. if its over its over. go get another one.

If she cheated with you, then she will cheat on you.

dont snoop through phones/ email/ facebook. you will find things you dont want to know.
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Never sell a firearm out of love, to get money to give your girl, who is in a bad spot.

What happens when the love dies, and you're out of both money and gun? Hmm?
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

#1-There is nothing that can make you feel better or almost 'perfect' than a woman!

#2-There is nothing that can make you feel more stupid, useless, lazy, self centered, selfish, worthless than a woman! Especially with kids that aren't yours!


You can't make a mistake or do a thing wrong when they want a ring, you always make mistakes and have done EVERYTHING wrong when they are ready to pawn that same ring!

Eight+ years now of being divorced from the 3rd one. Never a day goes by that I don't miss the loving sweetheart I married, also never a day goes by that I wonder what the fuck happened to the woman 'I thought' I married 6yrs prior.

Still haven't figured out if I misread everything that bad or she indeed changed that much. As far as I knew from 2 1/2yrs of dating she never lied, wouldn't cheat, didn't care about money and I was 'perfect' despite her being by my side during a pacer implant and mitral valve replacement. One day she claimed she was leaving! Already had a house lined up, found out within a week that she was the cause of a couple splitting after 30yrs, "I hated her kids, was depressed and causing us financial difficulties"!!! Even though I was the one with only a few g's in debt, a new truck, a house, all my gun chit and a great job when we got married! Found out in the next couple of months that I hadn't done anything right for years! lol Still wonder if it was her 'change of life' issues but she was only 46??? Sure turned into a lying, cheating, kniveing, immoral gold digging narassistic bitch though!!

Don't know if I feel better after reading all about others troubles or not? LOL

Edit to add-I had a house befoe we got married that was an old house with really neat oak woodwork I was restoring. Got most of that done before my health really went south after valve surgery. Lived in it for 5yrs after being married. She then wanted to buy a newer house that I didn't have to do more work on. We went in debt another $48K + I had to build a gun room on the end of garage that was another $5k so I had a place to work/piddle. New carpets furniture etc in new house of course. Then 11 months later she broke the news and told me the new house was "for you but it didn't change things". No, it was for you because the other house wasn't good enough and she wanted all the built in glass cabinets for her $10K in antiques she had bought during the marriage. Come to find out she was already pissing around with the married gent before we bought the new house. But yet it was 'for me and my health'. Now I am alone in a 1200 sq ft house with a house payment again! Geez, I miss the rationality of the opposite sex!!! lol

 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Colorado women look like they have schlongs.

They are all knocked up and bloated, wearing Broncos jerseys with a pack of smokes rolled up in their sleeves so that they can show off their flaming skull tatoos.

Forget this at your peril.
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Be honest and straight forward, if they can't handle the truth they're not worth the trouble.

Let them know in the beginning the things that will never change.

Been happily married for years. (my wife too)
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Never EVER EVER trust a woman with the birth control. Ever!! My wife informed me last year she wanted another child. To which I responded she was insane because of our small house we can't sell and I took a job making less money to be home more. Well she told me she quit taking her birth control 2 months ago and was pregnant already. I have been married for 12 years to her and never ever would have thought she would do that to me. I asked if that is what happened with our 3 year old too which she told me that "she had to do what she had to do"!! Found out I was married to someone I didn't know. Divorce isn't in the cards due to her family having too much influence over my little boy. Also living in a cardboard box doesn't appeal to me. Never ever trust your woman 100%. If she wants something bad enough she will have it. Women have no rules/boundries when the chips are down

Re: The Relationship AAR.

I have seen examples of a lot of what you guys are talking about in my personal relationships, and with my friends. Good Thread Arma!

My only addition is something that I actually saved from someone else here. I haven't finished reading all of it yet, but I will.

Assuming you are replying in a negative fashion to excellent treatises on the inherent issues in this thread, I do not see your point, and as such, must refer you back one to verse 29.

If you have the truth, and identify I do not, why not tell me? Should you want that I be ignorant, merely subject only to the natural and moral law at my ignorant peril by an oft-ignored and unformed conscience? Not that I should be a slave to it, but be fulfilled by it, right? For if I am a slave to the law, am I not then bound to two masters?

Who withholds truth in the present of the ignorant but a thief? For such a man steals the chance for the ignorant to be made aware, and thus, shall know what they know not; and now, not knowing, and a need identified, you create holes in my stomach, and the chilled air nips at me from the tent of ignorance you stole.

Preach it, if you got it, and withhold it if you not it.

Re: The Relationship AAR.

I made this topic for all of the guys who have had a relationship go to shit unexpectedly. Personally I think it's Cosmo magazine as I've had a couple women all say that they were afraid of thunderstorms. Sounds kind of odd when they were all in different states, and in some cases different countries, but read Cosmo.

"Once is coincidence. Twice is Happenstance. Three times is enemy action."-Ian Fleming, Creator of James Bond.

I didn't make this topic for any religious battles. If there are women capable of saying I do, and swearing it before God, and then going out, and turning their back on that, then this subject really is really needed to find out just what the hell is going on. Irregardless of what you're religion is, or what your beliefs are, this topic is to improve the quality of life for men everywhere.

This topic super-cedes the need for any other discussion, that isn't related.

CS, please accept my sincere apologies for the rude manner in which I replied to your post. It was unecessary.

That said, the treatises you mention are interesting reading, Ive dabbled in them. Unfortunately I find that their authors were operating on some incomplete premises and understandings. Though I dont necessarily disagree with their findings based on the primisise, my studies ad meditations have brought me to what I would consider, a diffenrent approach. I most assuredly reaspect the right of others to hold their own views based upo their belief system...as long as they dont try to force that belief system on me.

Beyond that, I will invite yuo to continue this through PM, if you wish. Religous discussion here is prohibited, and with good reason. I firmly support that prohibition. Ive tasted the ban hammer, and been exiled to BanLand, enough.

Whisper in yor ear, darling? I thought you's never ask.

Re: The Relationship AAR.

There is what I would consider a healthy bit of truth on this thread. Thanks to the OP for starting it up.

I will add along the lines of not changing jobs for a woman not to buy a house or any other 'significant' purchase in any particular area for a woman. - (I may add the caveat If you're NOT married)

Wanted to stop renting and get myself into a house a few years ago. Was living with my girlfriend at the time, she did not have the job or means to purchase but I didn't want to rent anymore. I had a couple neighborhoods picked out as to the ones I wanted to live in but decided to "compromise" for her.
Now I'm in a house by myself in a neighborhood I never wanted to be in in the first place. Gonna be here for at least another 5-8 years assuming home prices ever get back.

Sad part is I knew better, but did it anyway. Damn things vagina's do to the brain in a man's head.

(I know the neighborhood thing doesn't seem like a big deal, but if you are from or familiar with Chicago there are stark differences between neighborhoods, its very common for things to change significantly in as little as half a mile.)
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

I wish I had known of the Misandry bubble years ago. I've barely scratched the surface on it but it is an eye opener and crystallizes thoughts that have been floating thru my head.

I think I posted on it some time ago, but I'll rehash: I was living in Buffalo, NY, decent job, nice apartment, was in a pretty serious relationship, however I came to realize afterwards it was pretty well fucked from day one, I let her walk all over me and caved in on a lot of shit to avoid fights and all that.

Anyways, we got engaged, she got a job offer out here in CA, so I supported her in it and she moved out here, it fell thru and she got a job on a cruise ship. A few months later after I got everything taken care of back east i moved out here as well. A month later out of the blue she cut it off and gave me the ring back. She had gone complete bat shit crazy, last I knew she was engaged to some poor slob from India.

That was back in January of 2010, I'm just now starting to get my life back on track financially and barring anything drastic, I should be back to being debt free by this time next year.

I'm currently in a relationship and I intend on doing it right, I'm a god damn combat vet who led men in a war zone, not going to let any woman walk over me again, if I can stand tall in a war zone, I can do it in the face of the vag.

It seems to be working out alright to, valentines day I surprised her at work with a trip to Starbucks, but she wanted to come over after her shift ended (late) but I said no as I had to get up early the next morning for work.

So in addition to not being a pushover, never loan money to a woman either, bad news there as well, never see it again.

My only addition is something that I actually saved from someone else here. I haven't finished reading all of it yet, but I will.

The Misandry Bubble </div></div>

This thing is no light read! But i've seen it happen/agree with what i've read so far, about 1/8 done!

One exception, my neighbor got custody of his boys and SHE has to pay him child support, even though he makes PLENTY of money as a state trooper! Oh and she was adulterer w/ the youth minister of their church.....

Last one i dated, she told me on our 1st or 2nd date, that I wore the pants, therefore I was in charge, PERFECT! Never dated, one i got along with so well, she'd start getting bitchy i could call her out on it and she'd stop, shame after 6 months she just turned out to be bat shit crazy.

Every baby will cost you $1mil minimum. What would you be willing to do for that kind of money?

</div></div>

not quite, kids are expensive but not that much
I have 5, 4 have already made it successfully to adulthood and I do not think I have made a million total in my life

that being said, I have not experienced most of the "look out for" scenarios mentioned here

have been with the same woman for 29 yrs, married for 26, not that it is or has been "wonderful" but I try to keep realistic expectations and a level head

I think a lot of men pass up good wife/mother prospects looking for the pie in the sky female - hot, horny, fun, wealthy, etc - sometimes it does work out well, but not to often
 
Re: The Relationship AAR.

Only agree to having kids on the basis you get a gun out of the deal. That was my approach, for both kids. So far I got a new hunting bow, worth the same as a new rifle so I said that was ok. Still working on collecting my second gun. I wouldn't trade either of my kids for anything. If any of you break up with a chick more than twice don't get back together. If you have a huge fight the night before your wedding, don't get married. Yes, I did the last two with my first wife, and thank god we didn't have kids. If you get the chance to marry a female cop, go for it. I'm a cop myself, she can out shoot me with a pistol. I know I shouldn't disclose such things, but its true. My second wife(cop), is who I made the gun deal with...she's cool like that. When you get the chance to get your ex and current wife within 5ft of one another, sit back and watch the @$$ kickin begin.

Your snipped post was an exposition on how you have continued to sleep around without consequence of children. Frankly, you don't know what has and hasn't happened. Did you know that chemical contraceptives, on average, lead to one unknown abortion of a viable fetus a year for couples who use such methods?

What I posted was simple and sound advice from generations immemorial. That we have lost this understanding is the stupidest thing we, as a society, have done.

I stand by my post. You're welcome to disagree.

As for your anecdotes, I share in your experience and seek to remove myself from such lines of thinking. Your anecdotes are just that, anecdotal. Anecdotes are useless to me.

Lovingly yours,

Stupid.
