Work a 10 to 14 hour shift, earn enough that she doesn't have to work, and every damn one of them will think he needs to do more around the house. If you are like me, and have passive income where you don't have to work because you already worked far more effectively than a woman ever could, they will look down on you because you can do whatever the hell you want all day... they want you to give that to them. This is why I live alone in the woods, in a house I built, driving cool old cars I built, and I don't have to give money to women that did not earn it.

Nah, they don't want 50/50 in house stuff, they want YOU to do all of it so she can watch TV all day or make silly tik videos. The smart women realize that if she doesn't help out, she is an expense that can be removed easily, and life is more difficult on her own. Both my ex wives discovered that life is much worse without me in it. They left at 30, thinking they could do better than they did at 20 and 21 when I met them. Life put a hurtin on them for their poor choices.

@Kkaffeine its truth in advertising with the name. I keep the belly, its inoculation against gold diggers.

@Carlos.Rivera Pontiac mostly. This is going to sound like a brag, but keep in mind that I buy VERY rusty cars that are usually not even good parts cars, and rebuild them. I do that to stay busy and its cheaper than buying one already finished. I rebuild rusty junk because they are cool cars, I want to drive them, and it keeps me busy while providing purpose for my life. When you go from being a highly capable man who can do damn near anything, to being able to walk 100feet a day, it messes with you. building cars makes me feel productive, even if I am a lot slower than I was before I got hurt in the desert. My dad left me a car when he died in 2020, its a 1973 Barracuda cloned into a 70 AAR Cuda, with that eye searing great idea for a getaway vehicle lime green paint. Its the nicest car I own... and one of the slowest. 65, 69, 70, 72 GTOs. The 65 is my daily driver, the 69 is a basket case, the 72 hasn't been driven since 1997. The 70 has been waiting for its turn in my shop. 64, 65, 68, 71, 72 LeMans, they become race cars and fun projects like straight axle gassers. Look that up if you don't know what it is. They are cool. Then I have Firebirds. 68 that is really rusty 71, 72, 74, 78, 79 and 98 Formulas. Four 79 TransAms. Three of these are very rare cars worth quite a lot of money when I get them finished. Also have a 32 Pontiac, a 29 Ford both are rusty shells, 72 Ventura its like a Nova, 71 Mustang fastback, 84 Mustang convertible, 67 Cougar (my first car I bought in 1982), and a pair of Opel GTs I plan to turn into terrifying things with big engines. A couple C10s, 76 and 84, the 84 I am building for my daughter. 88 C1500 that was my 2nd ex wife's and I am building it the way she wanted it, then using it to take my trash to the township dumpster, because I have to drive by where she lives to do it. I bought it from her dad, he was going to scrap it, but it has zero rust. Along with that I have a bunch of 1997 to 2007 trucks, we get lots of snow here, the roads are heavily salted so I drive these 4x4 trucks in winter. End up needing parts for them, so I have several. The most I ever paid for a vehicle was $7500, that was the 1998 Formula in 2004. The majority of them were purchased for $500 or less. I've had quite a few for 20 years, five for 30 years, and one for 41 years. I just never sold them, rather I put them away and drove something else over the years. Also now my parts cars are valuable as drivers, so I am rebuilding what was only good for a parts car 40 years ago. I had a 1980 BMW 520 when I was stationed in Germany 1989-1991, was not very impressed with it. Slow and handled terribly. Sold it to my boss and ended up with the 1979 Formula. I am big into cars and trucks. Its why I still exist, because the hardship in my life would have driven most people to end it. The cars keep me busy and thus alive. If you think I am making it up, click my name and see for yourself. :)

@Vickzq most of the ones who stepped out on me while we were dating, have tried to come back. Both wives tried to come back. The first is still trying, 23 years after the living hell with her ended. How delusional and entitled does someone have to be to think they could come back when they were horrible in marriage, vindictive and capricious in the divorce, and now weighs over 300lbs with massive debt when they were only 120lbs at the start and 135 when the marriage ended? Yeah sure I will take that back.. She has been trying since 2002, when she realized how much more difficult life is without me handling the heavy stuff. NEVER EVER TAKE THEM BACK.

Same. I have done my laundry since I was a kid, am a better cook than both my ex wives, they put in almost nothing yet expected me to do everything for them. The second one would go take a shower, and leave a trail of clothes on the floor that would sit there for days. The first wasn't even that clean after we married. Now that neither of them are camped out in my wallet, I can do just about anything I want. The house stuff they complain about can be done in less than 2 hours a week, other than cooking which needs done every day. My grandmothers would have nothing nice to say about modern women I can tell ya that. Particularly the one on my dad's side.

@daveswaninger1077 speaking of kids. I have two daughters who are now 27 and 29. Before the ex took off with them in 2001 I was teaching them all the time. They could both read and write before they were 4 years old, along with running computers. I was there teaching them when they learned to crawl, walk, run, ride bikes, talk, and the first letters my kids learned were GTO sitting on my knee at the nose of my 1970 Pontiac GTO. All of that I did while I was working 50 to 70 hours every week. I taught them math using my wrenches in my shop while working on cars as a side business to pay for parts to build the car I drag raced. They went into kindergarten reading, writing, and doing multiplication in their heads. I have a divot in the back of my skull from the coffee mug their mother hurled at me while I was teaching the youngest to read. It was completely unprovoked, bipolar females don't need a reason. When the neighbors called the cops because of her screaming and trying to harm me, the cops always wanted to arrest me. Never a mark on her, and I would be stopping the bleeding and wearing shredded shirts. You never know what she was going to do. I endured it to be there for my kids. I am a war vet with PTSD, so living with her was a living nightmare.. and I still did everything I could to protect my kids, usually from her, and teach them as much as I could. I got paid every Friday when I was between enlistments and when she had access she would have me $400 overdrawn by Tuesday. So yeah I shut off her access to the bank when she had me $600 overdrawn and hadn't paid the bills for two months and it was all turned off. Either the good ones don't like me, or there aren't many good ones out there, because I have only met one woman who treated me well. We dated for almost 4 years, and are still friends.

@vanderumd11 in my defense, I got married the first time in 1993, long before the internet was useful for much, and at 24 I had no idea what bipolar was or how to spot it. I know now... Divorced in 2001. She was and still is a walking nightmare of irrational impulses. She hid all of that until after the first kid came along. I was very careful with the second one, she was completely different from the first and from Dec 2003 to November 2011 when we married she was on her best behavior. Right up until May 2013 she was absolutely wonderful to me. She was a 21 year old virgin when I met her, and she had the right attitude about life. We never had fights because she was not irrational, she was also very smart and didn't get upset when I knew something she didn't, we actually competed to see who had the larger vocabulary and things like that. We had fun together. I had my lungs messed up by a chemical in automotive paint, bad respirator, and for six months I couldn't breathe worth a damn. Apparently that was her limit, seeing me unable to do much, she figured she could do better than me. the fact the ailment was temporary didn't matter, she saw me as weak because something happened to me. The guy she left to be with was a very low value kid, 7 years younger than her who was desperate for a piece of tail. She was his first, and he stuck around for less than 4 years. Wrongly, I assumed she was too homely for anyone else to want her, never underestimate the desperation of betas and omegas was what I learned. She had to prove herself to me for 8 years, and during that time she acted right. I was already recovering when she decided to screw up her entire life. Despite how smart she is, there was almost no impulse management in her. Without me leading, her life has gone from quite good to really bad. She got fired from her township jobs this month, she is 41 with a useless degree, unemployed, unwanted, and of course she blames me for her poor choices. So its not like I went out and jumped on the first hotty I met and put a ring on it, or went into it with the delusion that she wouldn't do that to me. If we had never married, she probably would not have stepped out. Now that I am no longer paying the first ex, and I have all my income available to me, its kinda fun being single with a $90k+ passive income. I'm a rather capable combat veteran that builds old muscle cars to stay busy in retirement. Even with the chronic pain and limited mobility issues, I am still more capable than most men half my age. She left for a guy who had to be supported by her dad because he could not keep a job, that left her when she was 35. She really screwed up, and now she is paying for her poor choices and bad actions. The red philosophy started in earnest right as my second divorce was finishing up. I was one of the originators, not a prominent one, but I was there near the start. Lots of my input is repeated today, ten years later. You have already benefitted from my experience, someone had to have it to share it.

@MikeBarbarossa right. The whole point is for her to help him out with the light stuff so he can focus on the big heavy things. They are so entitled that they believe he should work, hand over the income to her, obey what she says to do, and essentially be subservient to her. Some low value males will do that, like my ex wife's second husband. She left because I would not do that... No matter what she tried, I did not bend to her. Why the hell should a man work for a woman's benefit when she does absolutely nothing in return? Western women are the lowest, they're all infected with that sense of entitlement.

@SayfumaniMyG I have two ex wives, first has been gone since 2001, second since 2013. The first STILL complains to our kids that I just did whatever I wanted to do, didn't obey her at all. Well, I was earning all the money, doing all the work to keep things going, and all she had to do was pick up toys, put laundry in the machine, heat up some burger and noodles, so yeah.. I was not going to obey her and let her decide where the money went. Besides she is bipolar and horrible with money, she can waste several thousand dollars in a day and have nothing to show for it. In 1994 I bought a 1970 GTO for $1000 from a guy I worked with, she still complains about me buying it. Until I took it off the road in 2015 because electrical problems and the suspension needs work, it was the most reliable car I have ever had. Its going in my shop early in 2024 for a frame off rebuild. Its going to be a daily driver with lots of power like my 65 GTO is. A good method for sorting women is if they tell me to sell the old cars and buy a new one. I would spend time with a woman who was into road trips, 600 mile cruises, racing, drag and drive events, and building cars to do all of that. So far I only found one who is that isn't married to my brother. She lives 7 hours away from me, and we are still friends. Was seeing her from '15 to '18, best woman I have ever met, but she still wanted to end it because I didn't get my house rebuilt fast enough for her. heh..

@sage4293 I went to foreign countries, got shot at, injured not due to enemy action, and came back broken in 2004. I take that paltry sum of cash they call compensation, and turn it into much larger more valuable things by working with limited mobility and chronic pain to improve my life. However with all the lovely inflation they are increasing compensation, at about 1/4 the rate our money is inflating. The up side is now I get more than the average fast food worker. 20 years ago on active duty as an NCO I was making twice what I am now.... and Nebraska was taking all but $100 of it from me, and giving it to my ex.
