I just love how anyone like me who loves their wife and is genuinely best friends with said wife is under the thumb.
Also my kids are little legends, they become what you make them. Raise them as friends and you will love spending time with them.
I love going out with "the guys" but i love spending time with my family a hell of a lot more!
But i am probably wrong!
I would bet that leftrightout would ask his Mrs if it's ok if she has the kids while LRO heads out for beers etc. And he'd probably ask permission to spend parts/all of him & hers shared bank account that they have worked to save together for whatever purpose - particularly when spending it on things that relate to LRO only, and not to their house/family/etc.
You've really spiralled out of control there, LRO. Fix your shit, because it obviously impacts me enough to strike so many nerves to go on an epic rant about it.
Fvcken hell....
At first I thought Membah was just trying to gee pv4 up..
I dunno what the memba is smoking though just because you have a wife and kids doesn't mean you "forgo your freedom as a man"
Just find a chick that's happy for you to still have these freedoms. You don't all of a sudden become a little bitch because you have kids.
Better yet combine it. I personally love going to Bunnings coked up to my eyeballs at 8am Sundy morn.
Hey man look I kind of agree with the Members (clumsily put) larger point of people feeling unhappy because of controlling relationships.
But yeah that logic should also apply to ****tards who think they can own a woman.
If you lads are cool cool with your setup then just be happy.
But c'mon we’ve all got mates who are scared of their wives and it’s ****ing sad (hilarious, but sad).
Love the attitude of going to Bunnings coked up to the eyeballs
I take it you don't need to ask your wife to do this ??
Blokes like you I am all for
The ones with the balls to do things their way without having to run it past the wife as they have given away the freedom to make their own calls on things
Na man. I still ask my wife if she minds if I do something. Only because I give a **** about her feelings and if I'm doing something that hurts her then **** that shit. Cause yanno we in a mutual relationship were we both equal cause it's nice to make sure someone else is happy outside of youself. But yes my mrs knows I'll always do what I please and that's what she loves about me. Just like I love when she does it in reverse. I'll bring our daughters up the same way and If they come across blokes like yourself then they'll be "assertive" enough to tell you to jam your "assertiveness" up ya japeye.
I think you've just swayed way too far. I'm all for making yourself happy first as you end up being the best possible person you can be for the other person. But if it means youre a twat and a general dickhead then laters.
I also do not agree with you're whole competitive I win relationship bullshit. Isn't much of a relationship if you're competing at all.
This thread recently, more than any other, has shown some people's true colours, and added weight to the value of their relevance/perspective to other debates.... or for some, removed any value altogether.
Winding each other up, or genuinely expressing your views.... either way, there's been some pretty outdated values towards the role and value of women in relationships expressed here.
While I'm all for open discussion about different relationship structures, inferring anyone is less of a man based on the structure of their relationship is beyond acceptable and is without question playing the man not the ball (no puns intended).
If discussion can't remain open without such inferences bans will happen.
Why?
Because if you infer that a man in a relationship who is not in control of his wife or discusses actions impacting on both before acting is less of a man, you assume then the wife is not fulfilling her role in the relationship and infers then that she is less of a woman - and if you want to make that leap, you're offending my wife and plenty of others, and as such, I'll "man up" and do all in my abilities to defended the honour of the woman I love.
If that's too PC lefty or clumsily stated, I'll just use the ban hammer.
the dinosaurs didnt die off because of us yelling at them or beating them with sticks*.
they died off because they couldnt survive the changes in environment.
im happy here waiting out the apocalypse on Plague Island.
*ok so prob cro-magnum Griff killed them all with his awesomeness but my point still stands
One of my mates was scared shitless of his missus. Whenever he managed to get up the courage to come out for a drink he'd be like - "oh man glad she doesn't know where I am". So one of us would ring her for a joke, tell her where he was , and sit back and enjoy the carnage when she'd storm in and rip him a new one. Absolutely sensational and highly recommended.
look stuff like this is a giggle but its (thankfully) come to light in the last decade that serious male health issues can be linked back to unhappy relationships. this stuff is real, and divorce, suicides etc are on both sides of the fence.
i def think im one of the lucky ones (as are a few on here) who think they have married their best friend and couldnt be happier with their life.
but man oh man ive got friends that 'settled' for some one just because they didnt want to get old and lonely. personally ive never understood why you'd do it, but it always bums me out when your mates are desperately unhappy with their lives and a huge part of it is their relationship. Again, this is where i get the Members overall point.
These last few posts have been good posts.
Except for the part Plague where you get the membas overall point. Not even he gets the overall point. Although I get Plagues point that you have made out of membas point that he doesn't know what he's making.
Geez i left for 5 minutes and it turns to sh1t.
I dismissed member's posts cause they were way too outrageous and beyond belief. If anyone becomes angry because they took members words aim at their mrs I think there's some issues with yourself, seriously.
Most of us all live the equity way, like what Wilso said about the give take.
Like Dunst I too have a mate who had to send pics of us to prove he was with mates but then was abused for 3 days every time he saw us. 12 years then divorced. We thought is was a joke for ages. this thread ffs
I just want to re-stress incase my OG posts were skimread or poorly worded that I personally haven't taken offence specifically about my Mrs/I from da Membah's posts. Although I have taken offence to the topic in general that he's portraying, and will continue to fight the good fight with that. As plaguesey has pointed out, Membah has made an indirect point that he agrees with.. but he's also made some fairly direct and other indirect points that are subhuman and as you say outrageous and beyond belief.
I mentioned it once earlier in this thread but I genuinely believe this stems from the whole bible-based man is the head of the house, dominance over women, a woman can't teach a man, etc Christian teachings that da Membah is seemingly well-read on. I blame the Christians for what we just went thru in this thread. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that a positive society shift is happening right in front of their eyes and they have this monster meltdown about it. The butthurt is genuinely hilarious, and the best part is you don't even need to stretch to get results.
Yeah, was gonna say. I'm no theologian by any means but its hardly a Christian problem.
You've got the western media crucifying (pun intended) Islam culture and nations for their issues with treatment of females, while the more advanced Islam nations say it has nothing to do with the religion and just to do with the culture.
I don't know enough about other major religions to comment on Hindu, Buddhist etc views on females.
I think religion is too often used as scapegoat or something to pin blame on, when really religion doesn't cause a lot of the issues it is purported to.. just enables bad people to do bad things. But thats is probably a discussion for the other thread.
Personally I think the male dominance etc is just a throwback to earlier civilisation when there were legitimate reasons for it. When your culture is based around physical traits being valuable such as strength, endurance such as in hunter-gatherer and other early primitive stages of human existence then you can easily see why women were second class citizens. Probably even up to a century ago or less, with many jobs being manual labour. With how our civilization has evolved and physical traits are no longer the be all and end all, you have women being much more able to meaningfully contribute to society. But the surrounding culture just hasn't caught up yet.
What I will say is the end of my sentence was "that da Membah is seemingly well-read on".
I don't know enough about other religions to comment fully but I blame the Christians for da Membah's views on this. I'm not consciously attempting to generalize any further.
Yeah we are veering into the wrong thread here coz Member shouldn’t really be allowed into the politics one because it’s a fast-track to a banning.
Anyway women are dope as **** and if they weren’t around our lives would be way worse because we’d probably all be spending time together outside the foz and NO ONE wants that shit in their lives.
Religion??
You think that is what the basis for my views is??
How wrong you are
This is just the self analysis on myself after my last relationship failing
It has led me to study the inner workings of the dynamic between men and women in detail
I learned that the failing of that relationship was me
It was all my fault because of the weakness I displayed initially with her. I can even pinpoint the exact occassion where I basically doomed it because I was too weak willed to say no to her
Reason I too weak willed to say no I found to be nothing more than the bullshit way men in this country are brainwashed to act towards women
So I set myself a goal for the last year to increase my interactions with women. Learn exactly how to say no to them.
Interesting concept
The results I found were surprising.
Early on in every relationship there was always a key point where the women tried pushing you to see what she could get away with
Amazingly when you actually stand up for yourself and say no for some reason your actually in control of them and the course of your relationship. Matter of fact they actually respect you more.
It actually is quite surprising how quickly they will revert and take the submissive role.
So that my focus at the moment.
Unlike some of the other brain dead comments from people here this isn't about some type of ultra dominance from me and exploitation. Far from it.
It is about retaining control of a relationship and not surrendering it needlessly like so many men actually do

This thread is amazing for one that is meant to be about stuff as simple as people not paying attention at traffic lights.
