sorry for fail link but it is basically a bunch of blokes whinging about women and saying there are no "good ones".

Sample quote:

^So why, you might wonder, has Chris joined the growing band of British men, old and young, who have sworn off women for ever?
It’s simple, he says. There simply aren’t any good women out there.
‘I have given up. I have many female friends, but I can’t be bothered to deal with all the hang-ups and complications other women have,’ he says.
‘Often, at my stage in life, many of them are divorced and seem full of bitterness and anger.’^

You do realise that this is in response to a similar article a while ago by women whining about where are all the Good Men now?

Xenophile · 24/08/2017 13:09

And I'm sure the discussion about that article was as erudite and well considered on men's rights fora as this discussion is here about this one. Absolutely sure.

Did you have a point Children?

I've read both articles and they look like an advert for a dating site. However it's not a very good advert, none of the people come across as particularly dateable. Maybe they're been burnt by their OLD experiences

I knew someone who never married or had a serious relationship because he didn't want somebody moaning at him for the rest of his life. He is my uncle.
Unfortunately I have to say that my own relationship experiences have taught me that he had a point.
I think the right one for me died years ago in an accident in tragic but circumstances just before Christmas. There's not a day goes by that I don't think about them even after all these years. We'd known each other since we were 10 so I just prefer my own peace and quiet these days.

Op the mail run those sort of articles with men (whinging about women) and similar with women (whinging about men). It isn't sexism.

However, the articles are best ignored!

Manclife · 24/08/2017 14:27

It's not sexism, it's click bait.

DeleteOrDecay · 24/08/2017 15:08

Well that's a bit fucking rich isn't it?Hmm

Manclife · 24/08/2017 15:29

@deleteordecay who's that aimed at?

DeleteOrDecay · 24/08/2017 17:14

The original article, obviously. It's a bit rich for men to complain about women in this way when you consider all the horrible things that happen to women at the hands of men on a daily basis.

Manclife · 24/08/2017 17:16

Women do horrible things to men every day too. What's your point?

DeleteOrDecay · 24/08/2017 17:18

I do love the arrogance though - "I'm fantastic, it must be all of the women that are terrible instead"

Yes, very much this.

DeleteOrDecay · 24/08/2017 17:19

This is true but last time I checked two men a week weren't being killed at the hands of their violent male partners.

Women can do horrible things but men are the main perpetrators against women and other men.

DeleteOrDecay · 24/08/2017 17:20

*female partners

Manclife · 24/08/2017 17:30

Yep. It what's your point? The thread is about men complaining unreasonably about not being able to find partnersand then expanded to include both sexes. What has DA got to do with it?

DeleteOrDecay · 24/08/2017 17:35

My point is its rich for these men in the article to complain about how horrible all women are when men are guilty of far worse far more frequently. I don't see anything wrong with what I said?

RhubardGin · 24/08/2017 20:03

But woman complain on here everyday about there being no decent men out there nowadays....what's the difference?

I have a few single male friends who say they can't find a decent woman, it's no different than my single female friends saying there are no decent men Confused

Manclife is struggling with comprehending feminism. It might be best to ignore his contributions until he achieves a Level 2 Feminism.

As for the article can someone explain why both the good men/women articles are in the femail section? Hmm

Do men not need to know why they're shit too?

CatsAreAssholes · 25/08/2017 09:47

have given up. I have many female friends, but I can’t be bothered to deal with all the hang-ups and complications other women have,’ he says.

Lots of female friends... but no women worth dating. Hmm I want to spend some time considering that.

Also his upset that women are "keen to jump in to bed".

I suppose he prefers the ones he has to harrass in to bed and don't like sex very much. Then he can call them frigid for not giving him as much sex as he wants.

powershowerforanhour · 25/08/2017 11:52

Well the DM does enjoy hyping up "the battle of the sexes". Dissatisfaction, discord and blame sell newspapers. They're not going to get much mileage out of "Every year in this country, thousands of quite nice men and women get married, live in harmony most of the time and don't divorce" or "Every year, thousands of men and women make a conscious choice or are obliged by circumstances to remain single, and live happily most of the time and don't feel the need to crab the opposite sex".

I really dislike the way that the DM and others so enjoy dividing people into groups and then egging on disharmony between them. They love a slagging match between women and men, young and old, rich and poor, left and right, different racial groups, you name it.
