Search Results: over a break up

I was always told this growing up. I used to believe women understand men better then vice versa. But not anymore.

I believe women understood men better in earlier times out of necessity. They used to depend more on men to provide and protect them. It was important for them to understand men they wanted to get in a relationship with vs. those to avoid.

But in modern times women seem far less concerned about understanding men. Not that I expect them to naturally understand that. But one thing they seem to struggle with is understanding the difference between likeability / attraction vs. respect. Men actually crave respect more then they crave sex, intimacy, etc.

It’s possible to still respect someone even think you don’t like them. It’s about understanding their situation and what they have to deal with. And truly men generally understand this concept far better then women do.

One example is when I broke up with my ex girlfriend. At that point I was no longer attracted her at all. Can’t say I liked her much either. But I still respected her. I knew about her struggles and dreams. That’s why I gave her the respect of sitting down and breaking up face to face. Endured 2 hours of hell (screaming, crying, etc.).

But I don’t regret it. I didn’t fixate on her flaws and chastise her over grudges and things I didn’t like about her to self justify my decision (I’ve had women do that to me when I was dumped). I had enough respect for her that would just add insult to injury.

I have always had a huge disdain for the left and their causes. From allowing (and even facilitating) an invasion of illegal aliens from broken nations, to weaponizing identity politics, to the warpath against white men, and all the way to DEI and sociopolitical engineering our children. The leftist social propaganda in and of itself was nauseating and getting old. It was divisive and destructive.

I voted for Trump all three past elections cycles, and I honestly have to say I am regretting placing any ounce of hope in Trump. I feel we have been duped beyond belief. Over a year into his presidency, I feel we have spun farther into a dystopian nightmare.

What happened to no wars? That was a lie. What happened to lowering groceries on day one? That was a lie. That rebate check idea that was floated around after the DOGE savings? I don't see it.

In fact, what I do see is the predatory "Own nothing; be 'Happy'" initiatives thriving. Homeownership has become more and more unobtainable, especially among younger generations. Our fire departments are failing. Our public safety infrastructure is crumbling. Our fuel prices have jumped up. The job market has become more volatile and unstable than ever. Looming mass job displacements are around the corner. We are criminalizing our homeless in a time where people with degrees are working multiple jobs to afford rent. Spying on everyday Americans from Flock Cameras to the use of AI and facial recognition is skyrocketing.

When you have had strongly vocal MAGA supporters turn sour on Trump, such as Marjorie Taylor Green, Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson to name a few, you know it is bad. I don't trust Elon Musk either, but bottom line, once die-hard Trump supporters are turning their backs.

Let's face it, this is ultimately a battle between the elite and the typical, everyday American. Trump has sold us out to the elite ruling class. When there is no side to turn to, you know we are all toast.
