25% on anti-depressants

So you are saying 75% are roaming around unmedicated! 

I was thinking the same thing!

Wow,

Pretty good post Brave..not sure how much of it is really true or happening but it seems to make sense..( I haven't done any research or put much thought in it yet other than what you wrote).

I didn't realize it but I am actually going through MGTOW as of late...

My 'guess' for now is that 'mother nature' will win out..and no such movement will be sustained..It kinda reminds me of when me and all my high school friends hung out and talked macho about not needing a steady girl til each of us were plucked out by one! 

A good book to read on this is "Men on Strike" by Dr. Helen Smith:

Here is a lengthy interview with her on her book and views:

There's no doubt its happening in Japan.  While Japan's overall birth rate decline is well documented, the individual numbers are even more startling.

Japan's population fell by a record 268,000 people last year, new data show, with preliminary figures showing just more than 1 million births in 2014.

The figures released by the country's health ministry showed that the estimated number of people who died in 2014 was 1,269,000, about 1,000 above the previous year. The number of births was 1,001,000, down about 29,000 from 2013. The total population declined by a record 268,000.

A local school in Nanmoku, 85 miles from Tokyo, had 1,250 first graders 50 years ago. In 2012, it had only 37

That year over year gross birth count decline is easy math:  (-2.9%)  == in one year -- the herbivore movement is largely regarded to have begun there in the artist and entrepreneurial social groups in 2007 and has been growing rapidly since, so its impact on birth rates is just beginning to bite. 

And in case you were wondering, the Herb in question is exactly what you were already thinking.

I think a lot of men go through this MGTOW phase in recovery, it's part of the process. Myself, I've just decided to do what I want now with as little drama from the opposite sex as possible. When I do run into it I just flip their own script back at them, Eg. "Not all men are like that, that's sexist gender bashing!"

That is a good one, "The Female Brain" is another one, I forget the name of the author.

Dating advice following an MLC divorce.

Get checked first - Clean bill of health is a positive

Get fixed - I know three women you had crisis's at the same time that ended up pregnant - None stayed with Daddy.

There is a big difference between intimacy and sex - Sex is ridiculously easy just by being a straight, single, employed, non douchebag. Post MLC divorce sex is what you may be craving but intimacy is what your soul needs.

Be yourself, be a gentlemen, talk about them not you, and for God sake don't mention the X.

What you will probably blog is the sex felt great but it felt really weird sleeping next to them.

 Good Luck

Thanks for the link Mad H...Watched all 50 minutes..interesting to say the least..To think that the 'female species are picking us clean' by becoming more and more independent I guess isn't a far stretch for future 'male species' to go find their 'instinctive need' somewhere else if you will...hmmm. Will ponder that more if only for 'entertainment purpose's' at the moment..

On another note...I am all for the MEN getting FIXED!! I did after my 4th child who was our only OOPS baby...It took 20 minutes!!! and WELL WORTH peace of mind!! I procrastinated for a year and OOOOOOPPPPPS...just say'n..it DOES happen!

I briefly read here sometimes, it is the man cave.

Just nice to get a blokes perspective sometimes.

To think I thought my h loved getting me flowers and things on Valentines, gutted lol.

Please some guy tell me they liked to!!!!! any brave ones?

Restore me some faith or my next Valentine might end up in the toilet.

I dont want to be a man eater, I like nice, I like doors opened for me, I never forget to say thank you and I will never ever have casual sex, well I dont think I will lol, there is a better chance I wont, dont want to end up telling porkies so added that just in case.

Does the man of my dreams exist, I dont want a pretend one!!!!

To be fair I am still married but only just.

No offence guys I know its your thread, interesting though

Previously no, I hated picking out holiday gifts. Now after all that's happened in my life, I enjoy it, not so much the shopping but picking something special so that she feels special.
