So TJ, you are stirring the pot trying to "spice" up the thread for those who miss Zim and MQ?
I see llaine was first to take the bait. I an see why you taunt he so much. She says "or maybe I don't understand the culture" but then proceeds to give advice, apparently oblivious to the irony of her advice
<< and while a lot of American women don't recognize this, as a lawyer who handles a lot of divorces, I do recognize how generous American men can be.
Take a tip from them.>>
So follow her advice and be generous.<g> After all, she is representative of the culture that has the highest divorce rates, the biggest gender confusion, the most sexual hypocrisy and the tendency to tell everyone else how they should live. Overlook the fact that she lumps Chinese, Japaneses, Thais, Philo's etc., into one big general "Asian" pot for she must be correct, why she has 4 recommendations already. Obviously, it is mans duty to provide for the woman.
<<A good woman is a pearl beyond price, let her do her own thing in the marketplace, she's got a natural advantage over you, men are the hunters, women the gatherers. Let her gather.>>
A friend of mine, is letting his wife (soon to be ex-wife) gather, so far she has gathered, half his bank accounts and half his assets and probably a lover or two as well. Being a good gatherer she is, with the aid of a helpful divorce lawyer, trying to gather more.
i am thankful for posts like llaines for straightening me out, for I was of the mind that some of the cultures in Asia were actually superior in areas of marriage and relationships. I mistakenly thought that the lower divorce rates, happy couples and lack of lawyers offered hope. But now I am straight, it is just that the countries are poor and not evolved and the women are not happy, just smile because they are not educated. They only pretend to look up to the man and honor him, really they are prostituting themselves awaiting the liberating equality that is the right of all women. |
