That doesn't mean the man loses his place as the family leader, but the woman isn't as much a slave as a real partner. Misogyny happens because some men think women are beneath them in all ways.I remember my first wife (devout Methodist) insisting we had a church wedding, but not wanting the word OBEY in the ceremony. I said I was OK with following her religion, but not if she was going to pick and choose the bits she liked out of her religion.We could do the church wedding according to her faith, or marry as a government contract, or just live together.PS. I believe almost every person I've ever encountered is beneath me, no misogyny here!

February 2Feb 2 According to the latest Epstein releases, Bill got a dose that he passed onto Melinda. Jeffery suggested ways to slip her some antibiotics on the sly.And now she's got her own charity... So it appears to be rather hit and miss whether a side piece improves performance, not to mention finances.

Psychology has shown this to be the various ways humans think, all because of their upbringing as children. Some older practices are medieval, and some are solid. Some come from the word of God, and some are misinterpreted.

Better yet, actually have a relationship you aren't paying cash for, so you could have some experience.

February 2Feb 2 Popular Post Just now, Harrisfan said:You are talking to strangers. They don't need your advice. Your advice is a proven loser anyway. 55 mistakes. Guys with a 45 year marriage should be giving advice not you.People who educate themselves on relationships because of some mistakes, read constantly on it, and also look at their partner as equals instead of objects are qualified to give advice, the same as most counselors and psychologists who have been divorced at least one time. People like you, that assume they know what others do in their lives they've never met, are not qualified and should keep their opinions to themselves. You obviously have very little experience with women, and likely are exactly how you appear here in real life. A misogynist that hasn't the slightest idea how to listen to women but prefers younger ones they can manipulate easier.

February 2Feb 2 Open marriages, a form of consensual nonmonogamy, involve partners agreeing to engage in sexual or romantic relationships outside their primary partnership without it being considered infidelity. Research indicates that such arrangements can be successful and even beneficial for some couples, provided they are built on mutual consent, open communication, and clear boundaries.Key Findings from Scientific ResearchHigh Relationship Satisfaction: A 2019 study by the University of Rochester found that consensual nonmonogamous (CNM) couples—including those in open marriages—reported similar levels of relationship satisfaction, low loneliness, and minimal psychological distress compared to long-term monogamous couples.Reduced Jealousy and Higher Trust: Open relationships often lead to lower jealousy and greater trust, as partners have explicit permission and understanding about outside connections, reducing the need for secrecy or surveillance.https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/talking-apes/202004/are-open-marriages-happier
February 2Feb 2 Reminds me of the joke about a couple at a sex counselor's:Sex counselor to the husband: "Do you sometimes talk to your wife while having sex?"Husband: "Yeah, why not, whenever I've got my cell phone with me"
February 2Feb 2 3 hours ago, fredwiggy said:Of course it is. It's an affront to any man that has respect towards women. The only way things change is enough people complaining about them. I look at women as equals, as they should be, as it's how I was raised and what I saw. I guess I could say it's none of your business thinking it's not my business.And if you were raised Muslim. Would that be justifiable too?
February 2Feb 2 54 minutes ago, emptypockets said:And if you were raised Muslim. Would that be justifiable too?There are Muslims that treat their women well. They've learned to separate their thinking from the norm. The Quran teaches that both men and women are equal to God. Islamic laws has different gender roles for men and women. This is from the following link..................Modernization has changed many aspects of femininity, in the past, and in the present The global market is changing femininity by showcasing and promoting images that are desirable for an ideal Muslim woman and this change has caused certain traditions for women to become outdated and contested...........Although there are no elaborate roles for men and women in the Qur'an, it is strongly implied that each gender provides equally significant contributions to the family realm Some choose to live their lives different than others, and there is always a right and wrong, no matter the culture practices................https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_roles_in_Islam
February 2Feb 2 In my opinion, if the wife is still open to sex then the study probably works/ valid. If your libido gets a recharge and that transfers to her seems like a good thing. The study apparently validates this, but makes sense to me.If not, nothing gonna jump start the lump so the theory goes nowhere. My pal in states is married to a Filipino lump. He would have left your years ago except that she pulls in more money than he does now. He brought her and her kid ( yikes) to US. He's miserable no sex in months if not years, stuck in US.Nothing worse than an incel in Thailand no less not having sex with the wife or notThere are actually foreign men in Thailand married to lumps just as miserable as their pals back in home countries lol. They moralize about it on this forum often.There are actually men in Thailand that don't know how to get hooked up with a side chick.There's lots of fun that you can have with a woman and still avoid STIs. Of course if your wife isn't giving you any ass then you really don't even have anything to worry about and insofar as passing it onOf course, telling your wife she needs to lose XX kg and provide sex twice a week or it's over regardless in tandem works too.

This has been well covered in the media as well.
