Anyone who is a regular reader to RVF and ROK knows feminists and non-feminists alike are attracted to "manly men". Its interesting to see it in an article coming from a feminist.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/solo...manly-men/

Quote: As a feminist writer, I understand that these behaviors denote male entitlement and indicate that he might not respect women. And yet, I was turned on. I have always been attracted to dominant men.

I have intermittently been dating online for over two years, and I have dated all kinds of men: those in white-collar jobs and blue-collar ones; white men; dark men; young men; older men; tall men; short men; men who lie about their relationship status. But what hasn’t wavered, is that, as a “traditionally feminine” woman, I end up being attracted to the men who come off as “traditionally masculine.

Though the article is written from the false premise of feminist ideology you would think there was hope for this woman.

However...

Quote:From what I’ve glimpsed in dating these 30- to 45-year-old men, most of them seemed to be just as confused as I am. They try to be progressive when it comes to gender roles but don’t have a clear blueprint of how to proceed.

To me a "manly man" wouldnt be confused at all.

Then there is this oddity:

Quote:But slowly, something is happening. Many “manly” men are becoming wise to the ways in which patriarchy has diminished their lives as well. Just as women have been sold a bill of sour goods about our worth, men have been sold a similar lot. Like me, they are coming to fresh insights: that emotions have purpose, that machismo often isn’t the answer, and perhaps, women have far more value to offer their lives than they ever imagined. Maybe this comes from spending a fair amount of time swiping right and realizing that snagging a quality catch requires more than what they have been doing in the past; that their conventional ideas of manliness, and furthermore, their entitlement, have led them toward their ruin, just as my need for their attention has led me to mine.

What do you guys think? Has "patriarchy" diminished our lives?

Thats the difference between intelligent men and intelligent women. The women can't connect the dots or understand logic. Theres a reason why all male surveys show 50 red states.

I updated the title. Its not clickbait title but the actual title of the article written.

Ha. I gave up reading these piece of garbage articles for the "lulz" a few years ago. They add no value to my life.



By being a confident and self-assured masculine man, you're going to hear all sorts of rationalizations as to why they are fucking you. I've heard girls say the dumbest shit.

But guess what? They keep coming back to my apartment. They can be as "independent" and "gurrrl power" as they want in the normal course of their day, but you can bet your ass they are counting down the minutes until I'm pulling their hair back so their head doesn't go through my headboard.

My online dating profile has been continually active for the better part of half a decade. I've been banged out by all kinds of men: rich ones, poor ones, married ones (I like those a lot), tall ones, short ones, skinny ones, fat ones, white ones, black ones...

But I grow tired of this sport, and I feel it's time for an awesome well-employed extremely handsome dominant Alpha to put a ring on it.

Wait, who's this woman's number in your phone? WHO IS SHE?!

Well, she's half-right, at least.

Quote:My life was pretty perfect… until it wasn’t.

When it came to life’s big decisions, I thought I’d made all the “right” ones. I went to college, I “married up”, I established a successful sales career, became the top 1%, travelled, wed at the ideal age of 27, bought a home in a nice neighborhood and had two, healthy children (boy and girl) before 35. All was serene in suburban Camelot.

All of that began to crumble in 2010. There were issues at work. I sued my employer for sexual harassment & discrimination which effectively ruined my career and put me in the hospital. While re-evaluating my future, I became overwhelmed by motherhood and all that that entailed; fear, doubt, physical exhaustion, overstimulation. I was anxious and sleepless and confused. Since writing always equated to healing in my life, I started a blog in 2011. Then I went to night school to learn how to write literary fiction. If my life hadn’t changed courses enough through career and motherhood, it was about to become wholly unrecognizable when my eight-year marriage ended in 2014.

Why won't some manly man take care of me and my bastards???? Why do they still believe in the outdated patriarchal notion of starting their own family with a virginal wife???? Don't they know that a post-wall feminist single mum is a much better deal?

Translation: I'm a complete bitch and I can't figure out why no one wants to be around me.

An obese 4 with kids talks about how many manly men she dates...right, completely believable. And, after all of these "dates" she can't find a man to stick around, shocking.

She neglects to mention that the "manly men" she is so attracted to exist mostly in the 99-cent literotica ebooks she voraciously consumes on her Kindle — and the "dates" take place inside her imagination.

That poor boy.

You can tell by the body language in that photo that she's raising him to be a nice guy simp.

As for her son, I pity him, because his own mother is about to backstab him in all ways possible.

More importantly, RVF/KingsWiki should just outright list "attracted to many men" as code for "I wanna have a notch count higher than Jennifer of Cornwall's."

And this, my friends, is yet another proof that feminst ideology, who has roots in the sixties, will never, ever, ever undo millions of years of evolution.

That would be part of why she wants a muscular guy.

Fat chicks give new meaning to the phrase - "Do you even lift bro?"

Let's be realistic she could/can easily atract enough desperate guys or guys with no standards, to bare minimum pump and dump.

Don't get me wrong she is not attractive, but girls far uglier than her can get bangs.

A stump could get bangs. Some men have an insane ability to ignore vomit inducing fat.

Definitely and from her perspective she probably believes she has some level of genuine attractiveness for men.

I don't doubt she has been pumped and dumped by lots of guys of lots of different types.
