Fred's great. He cut through a lot of politically-correct bullshit. He says a lot of things that guys think, but are afraid to say aloud. Example? Excerpt from here:
Excerpts:
Guys marry for bad reasons. When it comes to women, we have less judgment than bugs in a moonshine bottle. Guys marry charm. They marry a sweet smile, a perky toss of the chin. They marry clear skin and bright eyes, soft lips, warm hands. They marry curves in a pretty print dress and silken hair that smells like warm milk and new-mown grass. (Maybe that's straining the language. Steinbeck or somebody said it.) Men marry necking on back roads with crickets creaking in the woods and warm breezes and Sally is just so unspeakably wonderful they can't do without her.
Men marry illusion.
Willy Bill very likely will get divorced, which will very likely be Sally's idea, and she will get the kids with virtual certainty. Further (and he won't believe it in the full flood of hormonal misjudgment) she will in all likelihood use them against him. Even if not, she'll remarry and move to the other end of the country, and he will be lucky if he sees the kids a week at Christmas. Willy Bill now faces fifteen years of child support for children he will barely know. At best Sally will be heartless about it, at worst vengeful. The courts will support her every step of the way.
----The way to avoid the morass is simply not to marry. Thanks to the Sexual Revolution, guys don't have to. Find one you like and live with her. If you get along, keep on living together. Maybe you will have a long, happy life together. It happens.
Fred's great. He cut through a lot of politically-correct bullshit. He says a lot of things that guys think, but are afraid to say aloud. Example? Excerpt from here:
...heterosexual males have an intense, clamoring, damned near irresistible interest in female flesh, certainly including that of semi-denuded girls of fourteen. Any man who denies this is lying through his teeth, and all the rest of us males know it. If you add that girls fairly early learn to provoke such interest, sometimes making a game of it before they are old enough to quite understand what they are doing, you have a recipe for trouble. Society generally is wise enough not to allow men to be tempted by excessively young females. Most men would successfully resist. Some wouldn't. We all understand this.
