I got rejected by a girl today infact

Try not to appear too eager. Never show a girl you're desperate, you'll be rejected regardless of your looks, intelligence and other good traits.

Yey!

I certainly think it's appropriate to display our relationship status. But just because I happen to be married to a wonderful lady, doesn't mean I'm completely off-limits to other women, on or off line.

If another woman woman wants to chat, don't let my ring stop you... And my wife agrees with me.

BTW, my wife used to post here as 'Furtive Feline'.

Yey!

You're engaged? Congrats Mainte!

Since we've noticed a few members expressing their relationship status via user titles, signatures or miscellaneous profile fields and we have some singles/marital status threads, we've added a profile field for relationship status.

If you'd like to complete it, go to Forum Actions > Edit Profile and you will find it under Additional Information. We've added some predefined options which you can select from a dropdown menu:

Single
Single parent
In a relationship
Engaged
Married
Married parent
In a civil union
In a domestic partnership
In an open relationship
It's complicated
Separated
Divorced
Widowed

Or you can also input your own, custom value if you want to be more specific or creative (e.g. "single, (not) looking", "unavailable", "in ♥ with X" etc. )

Save changes and it will also appear in the postbit (the user information area of posts).

You're a mysterious person. Who are you and what have you done to Loki? Loki's sudden weird Christianity coincides with your reappearance.

Here is the problem with marriage no one ever discusses: once you have a child the wife can change her attitude towards you because if she knows you're a good man then she knows you won't abandon them and so she thinks she can say whatever she wants to the guy. I've seen wives basically verbally bully their husbands and it's because they know they won't leave for the sake of the children. If a man said the same shit these women said to them there would literally be a physical confrontation.

The flip side is the man abuses the woman, which is obviously far worse than harsh, nasty words, but it annoys me that it's rare for people to talk about the emotional and psychological abuse some women put men through. I've seen a woman call her husband stupid in public. If seen an elderly woman call her son-in-law stupid in front of her grandson. If another man had said that to him, there would be the very strong possibility he'd put his fist through their skull. Men rarely talk to each other that way because they know what could happen but there are women who think they can say whatever they want because men respect the social norms of society.

There is no check on female sexuality in the modern world, and there's no checks on females period. They can get away with anything because they have a train of thirsty men that they can choose like a number one draft-pick if a man says the wrong thing, or points out their immature, belligerent behavior. A smorgasbord of sensuality awaits any halfway decent looking woman in society. A woman can basically live like Hugh Hefner with eight lovers. One to fan her and feed her chocolate, and several others to do her bidding, or f-ck the sh-t out of her, whatever she desires at the time. Women can achieve the Hugh Hefner lifestyle by merely existing, whereas for a man to achieve the same thing, he has compete tooth-and-claw vigorously. The average man operating a forklift at Home Depot is not living a glamorous, privileged lifestyle.

I have to disagree here because gold diggers are easy to spot and the rest become attached to a man by his way of being (personality) but naturally women want a man who is doing well for himself. If a man is doing well for himself that means he's competent in society and so he'll be able to provide for the children.

My issue is when I see women behave the way I mentioned. The two examples I spoke of was of a neighbor of mine. They did eventually divorce.
