What the state is doing by being so heavy-handed with boyfriends and live-ins, will in the end result drive away guys who could serve as good male role models, their not wanting to be stuck with a bill for a kid who's not theirs. Good male figures will lessen the likelihood of a kid leaving school, becoming a criminal, the kid having a baby at 16, or some other drain on society. So there's a "cost" to this new idiotic policy too. If the state really cares about the problem they should go after the real father (which they do and that's fine with me), or better yet improve sex education, and make the morning after pill and condoms free to all and distributed on every street corner. But no, the fanatical religious retards who have such a huge voice in public policy won't allow that. "Teach abstinance, that is the only way." Inevitable result is a lot of unwanted kids.

Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint of Harvard Medical School have a new book out that wants to bring Black fathers back into the Black family and out of jail, unemployment, drug scene, etc. A few critics of the book have correctly argued that blaming Black men or focusing on them as the main problem is counter-productive. While the US has welfare laws that reward single mothers and punish fathers who stay in the family, and while family court laws are lenient on mothers who fail to parent in the best interests of their children (Brittany Spears notwithstanding), men (Black men) will always be teetering on the edge, ready to fall out of the family at the slightest nudge.
The US made laws to protect women and mothers when the actually needed protection. Society has since evolved and women do not need as extensive protection but the laws haven't changed.
I don't think public policy will catch up to reality until reality knocks the US on its ass. The dollar is falling against all major currencies. The dollar price of oil is skyrocketing. Our idiotic Congress made an enemy out of a friend by catering to a special interest group, so now Turkey is going to invade northern Iraq to stop Kurdish insurgents. The real estate debacle is spreading to other industries like heavy machinery (Caterpillar), furniture building, and home appliance manufacturing causing serious job loss. Tens of thousands of homeowners are in foreclosure and tens of thousands more are in the pipeline. This is the reality and the family needs help to deal with it. Yet, we still bash men as if we are to blame for all of the US's ills.

I been living overseas the last 3 years sometimes longing to return to the US but the more I read and hear stuff like this it makes the US more and more a undesirable future destination. Me being young and black just magnifies the situation.
[QUOTE=George90]The real estate debacle is spreading to other industries like heavy machinery (Caterpillar), furniture building, and home appliance manufacturing causing serious job loss.[/QUOTE]Well, Bpd81, don't believe everything that you read here. Why George90 singled out Caterpillar of all companies,
I have no idea, since on Friday they announced record profits for the third quarter:
"PEORIA, Ill. (AP) -- Caterpillar says its third-quarter earnings are up 21 percent. The construction equipment maker
is citing strength in its integrated service business, which combines financial services, parts, logistics and other operations.
"Caterpillar earned $927 million, or $1.40 per share, in the third quarter. That's compared with $769 million, or $1.14 per
share, a year ago. Revenue increased nine percent to more than $11.4 billion, from about $10.5 billion during last year's third quarter.
"But the company also cut its full-year outlook. It now expects to earn $5.20 to $5.60 per share. That's down from its previous
guidance of $5.30 to $5.80."

Okay, so they backed off their most optimistic projection for the year by a dime. Companies play with the
numbers all the time so they can look like heroes if they beat the projection later. Regardless, it will still be
Caterpillar's best year ever.
Company profits go up and down. Big deal. Proves nothing.

Bpd where are you?
[QUOTE=CBGBConnisur]I met an upper class Brazilian girl who is studying in Australia, many bratty kids of Brazilian elites live in Australia, I have never met such a nose in air attitude in my life, at the same time I ran into a UA flight attendant from Oklahoma who was totally down to Earth, but an anamoly for an American woman.
Not everyone in Latin America is downtrodden and dirt poor, the rich in that part of the world can be ultra wealthy, especially Brazilians. There are many Asian women who also very pre-Madonna. Still they represent a small portion of their respective societies. With American females, the upper middle class suburbia brat is the most common that you run into.[/QUOTE]
Well what can I say...if ye want to see a lot of snotty latinas...just fly to caracas...Bogota....Sao paulo...Rio...Santo Domingo or Mexico City...and you'll find them in the thousands!!! Sex and the city and Ally Mcbeal are their daily companions:-( Need I say more?
age??? I read somebody thinks he can't pull women under 30...when he is 37...thats true...alas...a fact:-(
In general in Western Europa the age difference with couples seldomly is bigger then 4-5 years.
As off lately women even tend to want YOUNGER men......and heee you know what....they get them too!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 41 yo and women of 35 (or younger) in general are NOT intrested in me. NOT even for one night stance...Even i do look good (even if I say so myself) and have a steady good paid job....and no debts or needing to pay child support!!
it's pathetic that female single (or divorced) moms can put their demands to guys without kids and having good jobs!!
I would NEVER even dream of settling down with a wife that allready has kids from another man.
NEVA EVA.

So, she's a woman (AW) and a lawyer, and she likes to take people to court with vengeful lawsuits. You gotta wonder if her new husband is feeling kind of nervous right now. :D

in the last few days, there has been a series of articles in a local paper regardng "cougars".
in these articles, they put a really positive spin on these so-called cougars. i read all kinds of positive comments like "these women know what they want", "older divorced women are in demand", "when you get to be in your 40's who cares what society thinks" etc. etc. there's also a line where a cougar is defined as an older woman who has "tossed aside the traditional rule book for romance and dates younger men".
then comes the other stuff. there are quotes from women who claim the are still hot and need a younger guy who can keep up with them.
so..... middle aged women want to have casual sex with guys 10 or 15 years younger? fine! i'm all for it as long as everybody is having fun and getting laid.
the thing that pisses me off is when i imagine the reaction if these articles were about older men going after younger women. one can only imagine the howls of protest from all the outraged feminists if there was a story about how good looking men in their 40's wanted women in their 20's because that made them feel good about themselves.
in fact, this same paper ran a series of stories about some guys in the dominican republic who were doing exactly that. they dragged out every negative stereotype you could imagine...... falling just short of labeling the men as ****s.
so i ask, why the double standard?
oh, and of course those cougar articles were written by a woman.

I have to admit I am so out of touch, I had never heard of this term "Cougars", so I googled it, and the only thing that came back were sports articles that referred to teams called the cougars. So I googled "cougars" and "divorced" and found this gem of an article. I'm not going to repost it here, but you can click on the link below to read it. I must WARN everyone on here though, the article includes a picture of three "Cougars", and these women are nasty looking! I mean, they would make a Warthog dry heave! I was going to eat dinner in a few minutes, but after reading this article and looking at the photo, I'm downing a bottle of Pepto and calling it a night; thanks a lot, Rock Dog!

I could totally dig an older well-preserved woman who keeps herself in shape and doesn't look like a train wreck, but the three troglodytes in the pic for that article don't qualify as well taken care of by even the biggest stretch of an overactime imagination :P

These "cougars" look more like weather beaten sows to me! I find it hard to believe that young men in their twenties, even thirties, will actually consider copulating with any of those frowzy hags unless a considerable sum of money and a burlap sack to be used as a hood were involved. There are a few things that these women seem to be ignoring like what will happen once the young guy decides he wants to have some children of his own. Then going to gym and botox can only go so far. Eventually, the wrinkles, flab, varicose veins, cellulite, hair loss, menopause, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, age spots, sagging mammaries, and crow's feet will catch up to them. One can only imagine how territorial these cougars get when some young tart gets close their prey.
The cougar's intention for their young prey has been revealed in the article. Basically, they're looking for a young caretaker. I'd advise them to invest their money in a good long term care policy because once the youngsters realize that they have to take their cougar to the toilet and wipe her ass they'll be out the door in a flash. One also complained that she was looking for a relationship while young men wanted sex. Hmm... can you see a problem emerging here?
I've known a few American cougars and seen the quality of the young men they are able to attract. Basically, they get the guys who don't stand a chance of getting laid by women their own age and can't afford to pay for it. The author would like us to believe that these women have their pick of young rich investment bankers. Yeah, right! I noticed that no mention was made of the numerous British cougars who prowl Jamaican beaches in search of the big bamboo. Those young guys are wasting their time dusting off those old rugs. Once someone told me that the old ones work just fine if you pour in a quart of oil before the ride but I still find that hard to believe.
Off topic sorry, but construction is booming in the rest of the world, especially china-india-russia-middle-east-far-east.... and those people are reinvesting in africa and south america as well.

I'd believe it - I've seen a mid 40s woman pashing on with a mid 20s decent looking guy, and he was lucky compared to most of the guys! About a 60:40 mix in the guys favour in the pub that night.
Falling in the middle of those age brackets, and being too old obviously for the mid 20s down girl, there is no hope here.
Though the asians keep telling me I'm at the right age (asians from asia that is) so there is only one place to go...
