| Psychologist Warns Men Not To Date Feminists. The Tactical Guide to Women: How Men Can Manage Risk in Dating and Marriage. |
| 2020-03-02 |
| Dr. Shawn Smith, PsyD, summarizes his book (The Tactical Guide to Women: How Men Can Manage Risk in Dating and Marriage) and discusses the powerful idea of a driving mission that men need to have to function well and find fulfillment and the sobering idea of resentment as a roadblock to personal development. Please share this with young single men you know. Either send it to them or repost it where they'll see it. |

| #13 Dr. Shawn Smith. Don't take his parents seriously, #1 grom, unless he named himself. |

| #12 Re: Clark Gable: "His attitude was fairly simple, as he explained it to me one day when he confessed that the lady I had seen leaving was, indeed, an expensive import from Madam Frances’ establishment. “Why would you do a thing like that,” I said, “when all you have to do is whistle? Or grin?” “That’s why,” he said. “I can pay her to go away. The others stay around, want a big romance, movie lovemaking. I do not want to be the world’s great lover and I don’t like being put on that spot.” |

| #11 It has long been known that the woman a man marries will make or break him, and vice versa — that is the underlying theme of every novel Jane Austin wrote back at the end of the 18th century. In different generations what exactly that means has changed, but not the need to choose more carefully than, “Ooooooh, she’s hot!” I downloaded the Kindle sample of Dr. Smith's book. Thus far I approve. If Herb McCoy chooses to be what the author describes as a “high value man” and follows the author’s directions to find a nice, high value woman to marry, he’ll be much too busily happy to want programmable blow up dolls. For what it’s worth, when I was young I fancied myself a feminist, arguing that I had as much right to be a garbageman or an engineer as any man. Certainly my father expected I would follow the pattern of my mother and both my grandmothers, becoming a leader in my chosen profession — preferably, from his perspective, on the academic/research side. Daddy was as surprised as I that I was happier as a most traditional housewife/soccer mom/trailing spouse. Mr. Wife, who would have been just as happy to adjust had I been a career woman, was only surprised that it took me so long to realize what he recognized in the first weeks of our acquaintance. |

| #10 I always wanted to meet a man-hating she wolf like people keep finding. Some renowned ball kickers I did encounter were surprisingly kind to me. Thank Gawd I guess. |

| #9 and there are all kinds of feminists; some are more into widening opportunities for both genders (e.g., we need more female welders and more male nurses) others are horrible people with little intellectual honesty and no manners The latter far outnumber the former, and there's no telling how many of the former are telling the truth about what they qant. |

| #8 In general you wouldn't want to associate closely with anyone who thinks testosterone is poison and masculinity is toxic. |

| #7 Videos very often don’t show up in posts when first published — a quirk in Rantburg’s code. All it takes is a passing moderator to open it in an Edit window without changing anything to make the video happy. So that's what I just did. |

| #6 When you speak of Feminists, there are 4 waves of feminist. I think most folks on this board would have no issue with those from the first 2 waves. I'm not sure about the 3rd but the 4th wave is batty, that's the modern one that we're talking about here. |

| #4 I've known both types, Garth. The first type is infinitely more preferable than the second. |

| #3 book has a Christian perspective on the subject personally I think a man who is thinking of marriage should date at least one feminist at least once; maybe it will be to his taste, maybe not and there are all kinds of feminists; some are more into widening opportunities for both genders (e.g., we need more female welders and more male nurses) others are horrible people with little intellectual honesty and no manners |

| #2 Just don't date. That's the current trend in the industrialized world. Just look at birth rates. Just look at single households. Men have not changed. Women have. Poor women have children. Say three but from three different men. Child support and refunds they are making the bucks. I know several women 13-15 thousand in refunds. On food stamps also. |
