He lives in that world where his kid can do no wrong, the land where no one has a rectum.

True. Have a good one, friend

*guys not guts damned stumpy fingers

I was approaching the specific case that the guy stays and the girl strings him along for her own benefit. Guts do this to girls, too.

...they had before, it becomes toxic. She is responsible for distancing herself from him, or it becomes a relation ship of take but no give. And of course the man needs to develop enough dignity to move on to greener pastures and giver her some space.

I meant than men in western society are in the habit of seeing rejection as a deferred "yes". The "friendzone" phenomenon is very difficult for guys. If a fellah asks for a romantic relationship, it changes pretty permanently the dynamic between the two individuals. When the girl lets the male hang around her in basically the same friendship relationship

Again, you're being to modern in your scope. Slow down.

Your socialization is getting in the way of your literacy

Mmmmmmmpraps you should read it again, Finklestein.

Women are allowed to say no, but when men say no, we end up on the receiving end of a spoiled brat temper tantrum.

That's great but what do you expect the poverty-ridden locals to do for work in a third world nation with no other economy? It's like Florida without the condos in those places: destroy everything in sight for a quick buck and don't think about tomorrow. Florida especially is a dirty butthole now, full of millions of entitlement yuppies who demand exotic global natural products. The Gulf states used to be a lush paradise twenty years ago. I blame big business for this mess. How do we even slow the process, much less stop it? Hundreds of millions of people worldwide depend on the wanton destruction of our world heritage just to get enough money to eat on a daily basis. And they get no medical assistance, retirement, or employment benefits. Face it. This is a closed system of company store debt slavery, but on a global scale, and it's only going to get worse. Forever. Eco-tourism is never going to fill the bellies of the poorest masses, and it surely won't fill government coffers.

So do I. Broken back puts a damper on even going to get ice cream, much less plane-hopping.
