Are most Vehicle Dwellers Single

"Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk for an hour and see who is happy to see you when you open it"

Plus, of course, your dog will forgive you in about 5 minutes..........your wife will be resuscitating you on your deathbed to remind you about it one more time.

Do you really think it would take that long?

After all, we are the people who were willing to pick up and go - we just aren't as dependent as most people on the security of another person.

So true. The ultimate DIY is being emotionally stable and continent in oneself. Own your emotions and your own trail, and know that you yourself can make a change if you want to. Take responsibility for what you decide to do or not do. Makes it alot easier to appreciate others and to recognize unhealthy dependence/ codependent people and avoid them. Of course all that self control makes the codependent people want to punch you.

Long time single.

Ah the dog! Mans best friend. I don't know when or where I heard it but it explained why the dog is mans best friend. It goes something like this......

"Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk for an hour and see who is happy to see you when you open it"

LOL. I like that joke better this way though:

"Lock your husband and your dog in the trunk for an hour and see who is happy to see you when you open it"

Apparently my taste in women has been wrong all these years, and I have paid dearly for it.  Anymore I don't even try, not worth it.
Well meaning friends have been busy trying to set me up with this woman, or another. I simply reply No Thanks, not going there again.
As an aside, I have found videos on youtube that may sound crazy, but I totally understand the point of view now.
For the curious, go to youtube and type MGTOW in the search box. You will get an ear full! Warning, some of those videos are not for sensitive people.

I'm just curious....Is this the site with the woman basher that sez woman folk can't survie with out a man telling them what to do?  If so I watched it very briefly and IMO that ol' boy couldn't poor Pee out of his boot with the directions written on the sole.  Or may that was someone else?

Not a site but a whole meme/so-called "movement"

The fundamental idea: that not all members of either sex really **need** to be in an ongoing romantic/sexual relationship

is of course sound, rational and entirely reasonable.

The manosphere "war of the sexes" ideas: that women now dominate our society, that "the rules" are tilted in their favor, and just giving up and dropping out of the whole game is some kind of political statement

to me just seems silly and immature.

Very well said. True feminism was supposed to be about equality. Modern feminism has ruined relationships and beaten men, as a broad gender, into worthlessness. I honestly don't blame a lot of men for going that way with what so many women have done, but it makes it that much harder for those of us who genuinely want a full-filling mutually-respectful relationship and life partner. After being trampled on so many times in my life by friends and romantic partners somehow I still have the belief and positivity that I will find someone, eventually....although at this rate that might be when I'm 90  :-/

 That could be possible.  My Aunt Mary in TX has been widowed 3 times.  We don't speak of her 1st husband because he was "truly an unspeakable sort" I've been told.   A few months ago Mary told me on the phone that " I have a new man friend.  He is so sweet and kind and fun.  He's a YOUNGER MAN TOO".  " Jay, you can come and we'll find you one too ".  My Aunt Mary is what some would call "A real pistol".  Still........at 94yrs young    I love my Aunt Mary.

Tread lightly, there is zero tolerance for women bashing here.

John, it is not 'silly and immature,' it is demonstrably true, as soon as you actually study on it, instead of dismissing it off hand, there is plenty of evidence of this imbalance in the law, but most refuse to see it because admitting the truth causes them cognitive dissonance

And walking away is not a political statement, it's an act of self preservation
While some of the content producers come across as woman haters, and some undoubtedly are, the main premise is protecting yourself from being the victim of the family court system, and false allegations of various types

Even Bob's post above, is an example of this, there is indeed zero tolerance for woman bashing, but not quite a zero tolerance for male bashing

I was going to mention something about that comment being very gender specific. Sounds like it's just fine to bash the male gender?
Just another point made in the inequality of it.
PS, the deleted post was in answer to a direct question, but I guess that side of the story is not allowed either.....

It's funny both ways, and true both ways,

And the dog is the constant that doesn't change.

Does it make a difference if it's a male or female dog????   Lol

Hmm, I don't think so. Dog's don't seem to see gender issues the same way humans do.

To me it is immature to see "us" vs "them", also to expect Reality to be fair, and most of all, to just walk away from what is one of the most interesting Games out there, play to win instead.

Forewarned is forearmed, do what it takes to minimize exposure to all kinds of risks in life.

Feeling bitter and giving up is no way to live.

IMO

I've been married twice.  First one left me after I got her through training to get her RN.  we had been married 17 years and her two daughters from her first marriage were now raised.  We got along mostly because we had a daughter and we both wanted her to be happy and we still get along well.  My second wife and married on the rebound and that marriage only lasted 20 years.  I pulled the plug on that one, but didn't leave until my favorite dog I have ever had died.  I have a lot of women who are great friends and men who are good friends, but I just prefer being single.  At 69 I just want to be me and not become what someone just knows I could be with a little help.  My 90 year old mother has finally accepted I'm just be me.

A few posts have been deleted from this thread, recently. I'm feeling like it's run its course. Either stay with the subject, or it will be closed.

I came out to the desert to heal. The sunshine and nature have amazing powers. If I blame others for my failed relationships I will never heal. I was involved in what happened, participated in the insanity, and bought the T Shirt. My hope would be to meet others who take personal responsibility for their baggage and insanity. Life is a journey and I am only rowing my boat. I have no illusions of meeting someone to complete me or save me. ....  

I'm in the last third of my life and I am trying to enjoy it. New friends are welcome. But those new friends need to be people who are also on a healing journey, people who point fingers need not apply.

I agree. Nature, sunshine and driving works wonders.  This phase of my life I’m doing what I want to do, going where I want, staying as long as I want and...I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!
