    kaylar wrote a new post, Men Who Live Off Of Women 7 years, 10 months ago

    I am not talking about a ‘house husband’,  or a man who finds himself in a situation where he can’t find a job. I am writing about people, men, who set their lives to find and exploit women.   Men, whose p […]

    • It’s unfortunate that there are men like this.

      • It is because it eradicates the views one holds about ‘man’, but they are very common, and getting more common.

    • If you live off a woman how could you call yourself a man. I mean the woman has the baby who is going to provide for her at that moment if she isn’t financially stable. Living off a woman can be the lowest way a man can live only if he chooses to do that for a lifetime and it’s not because he just lost a job a couple of days ago

      • Oh these men don’t know the meaning of pride. They don’t have any positive traits. They will live off any woman they can.

    • Its A shame how men live off of Women. Men are supposed to be providers not free loaders.

    • This is very true just as you have said itmany men ar3 nowadays just looking yo be fed clothed and sheltered by women. Gone are the days when men were men. A man will take some responsibility for his woman and family. He will make sure that are clothed Fed well, they love in a good home etc.
      If you look around in most societies nowadays men are giving themselves to older some for services in return for money. They do not want to work to earn a living all that want is to have fun and in the process make free money. It maybe you will find a woman or just a young girl who works hard for her money, she gets herself an apartment, stocks her kitchen with food, buys a car and so on. Then she finds a guy who really speaks well if her just so that he can get into her house, and once he does that, that’s the end of it. He will come and stay. While he’s there there is nothing much he’s helping out with all he does is just demand and command, yet all his needs are being taken care of. And you wonder what kind of guy is this who doesn’t even feel ashamed to be living of his girlfriend can’t be get up and get a job to take care of his woman and himself.
      Men have become too lazy and irresponsible. They don’t want to do anything to improve themselves. All they want is free stuff. They should style up and do what is right. Stop waiting for the women to do for you what you should be doing? Or maybe the saying that goes ” A MAN IS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE should change to A WOMAN IS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE so that it is known that women are th3 ones who are running families nowadays

      • You are very right. Many men sit back and live out of a woman’s pocket until she puts them out and they find another woman or stand on their feet.

        I know one chap… absolutely worthless. Charming Chap, but worthless. He lived off the woman and they had a daughter… and after the woman tossed him out… he played interested in the daughter until today… the Daughter supports Him!

        MY Daddy is the Best Daddy in the World! she posts on Facebook

    • These are basically Prostitutes. Male Prostitutes. And the fact you’ll see a man in his 30s with a woman in her 50s … where she has a profession and he is virtually illiterate is not that strange any more

    • I couldn’t see myself with a Mama’s boy.
      They are too selfish and gossip as much as any other female.
      They always run crying to mama ” what should I do ” , ” what do you think is best for me ” .
      I went through this with one of my sister’s.
      I couldn’t believe how unviable he was .
      My sister did everything for him cause he didn’t know what to do .
      He couldn’t even do his own college paper work , nor fill out an online application form.
      He has both of his parents come from good family but lacks all knowledge of self motivation.
      A man that can’t cook not even boiling water is a definite no in my book .

      • They have to ask Mama for everything, and even if you think you ‘come first’… Ha! One word from Mama and you are on your own.

    • yes it happen in some cases,my husband is too mumma boy but i manage it all i give space to them and provide them full privacy and make her have full control on him but not on me i do what i think is right.

      • I couldn’t do it. Nothing is worse then when you need him and Mama calls him, and he leaves you to run to her. Esp. when she invents reasons.

    • Pity the wife… she comes 2nd. Not much of a marriage.

    • Lots of mothers or parents in general have lots of control over the children. Same goes for women. Some women are mama’s girls or daddy’s girls. So it does go both ways. The only one that can change this behavior is the child themselves. Otherwise it will continue for the rest of their lives.

      • Women who put their mother’s first often are thrown out by their husbands or their husbands leave them. Too many parents exercise too much control over their children never letting them grow up and move on.

    • Yes. The people during the campaign too light of Mr. Donald and vehemently criticized him starting from his mouth to every organ of the body.
      It is the xenophobia as well as the racism that stirred up their minds making the gray matter more powerful tool with analysis and self-conscience.
      Hacking as you said is not at all an issue and it will be the stupidity to blame Russia for the victory of Mr. Donald. Still, they are not realizing this aspect and continuing arraigning the Russian Government in the politics of the U.S.

      • What is so significant is that you and I see this so clearly, and persons who are supposed to know better, don’t.

        People voted for Trump. Maybe a lot of people who didn’t like Hilary very much assumed that Trump couldn’t win so didn’t vote.

        However, unless they have proof that the Russians hacked into the voting machines, they should just shut up and stop making trouble.

    • you have to download and use different malware. You have to be sensible. We can’t blame other people when we are at fault. This thing with the DNC just causes the world to lose respect for them.

    I used to have a motorcycle  which I rode to and from work.  Every day, almost, on my way home from work, I’d stop at a particular crummy supermarket and buy what I felt like.  I didn’t know what I’d eat for di […]

    • Regular shopping is good for not to miss anything that comes in the form of offers, deals, and fresh stock. But, it needs a lot of patience also. It is actually a test for patience. Coming all the way from a bike and parking it in the appropriate place means it is a challenge. Can you park every day in the Cellar meant for the two wheelers? Is it not a test for your patience? But one has to develop this activity to improve one’s personal relationships with others in the society we live in. This is a good habit.
      The other benefits are monetary but the developing inter-personal relationship is more than that.

      • I park right at the front of the store, in the handicap parking…(I do have a pin in my leg). I do have a lot of good relationships with all the people around the market, as I take my venture like a social engagement. So it does enhance that relationship as you mentioned.

    • I used to think once a week was good, but I prefer being able to run in when I want and not have to make that many plans. When it comes to vegetables, I always pick those that look a little handicapped or like they suffered to avoid GM.

    • I am no fan of shopping. Believe me. I don’t like it one bit. But it is something that needs to be done. Shopping daily is just ridiculous. Shopping once a week is better. I am actually looking into shopping for groceries online now. There are many services that we can do that now.

    It was many years ago when I was waiting for a bus when I saw a dumb looking guy shooting past on a motorcycle.  I thought to myself, “I can ride a bike, how hard could a motorcycle be if this guy can operate […]

    • The main thing is to get from Point A to Point B. When I was growing up, we had a pretty good public transportation system. As a result, I rode buses all over Miami, Florida, and into the Greater Miami areas as well (Coral Gables, Miami Beach, etc.) I didn’t learn how to drive until I got married. I was 21 years old by then. I drove lots of places, i.e. different states in the US and different cities within the state of Florida. Having a reliable form of transportation – public or private – is very liberating.

      The motorcycle were never my thing because I never learned how to ride a bike. By the way, I don’t recommend that. Riding a bike is a life skill and it’s something everyone should learn how to do. I missed out but encourage others to do so. Also, never learned how to swim. Another important life skill. My kids taught themselves how to ride a bike and swim. Thank goodness they didn’t rely on me! 🙂

      • You are not too old to learn. Listen, Ema… who is 100 years old, went to school to learn how to operate a computer at the age of 89. You should learn how to swim, (life saving for sure) and ride a bike… it’s really nice.

      • Oh yes… that is key. Make sure; but also I find that when I’m writing I have to NOT read any one else’s stuff so that I don’t wind up taking ‘your’ topic.

        It was amazing, I’m in Jamaica, the chap was in England, and I was watching the BBC World Service News, which touched on Bubonic Plague and ran to research it. He was watching the News on the BBC, which ran the same story, and he was fascinated by various plagues.

    In many parts of the world, women have learned that they can never trust a man. Whether it is part of a culture where a man has more than one wife or where adultery is ‘normal’, women make alliances with other […]

    • Wow well written truth be told mums and daughters share very many secrets together yet no one else would know. I am a woman but the truth is I don’t like it when some women join alliances with their mother’s to ruin the relationship between them and their spouse’s. I think that’s wrong and it should not be encouraged by anyone.
      For me i believe that when you choose to love someone, get into that relationship with the intention of growing both of you and not your mother of father. Remember that it is about the two of you, make that your business. Many people get into marriages for th3 some purpose of enriching themselves bad their families and that’s very sad and unfortunate. I even know of someone who got married, to a lovely lady who he thought was his world, he would do all sorts of good things for her take her places, but her gifts and so on and so forth, not knowing that one day he would be damped for reasons he never understood. After doing all this things an being divorced he comes to the realization that he was duped, and that everything that he did and bought all went in the hands of the woman and her mother. He was left empty with nothing to hold onto. It was very unfortunate the last was in cohorts with the mother to dwindle the poor guy and they managed quite easily.
      So when women do these things really they need to think about the reasons that took them into that marriage in the first place. So not use someone’s feelings to your own advantage it hurts. And for the mother’s who encourage their daughter’s to do such things should really consider what if that boy who is being duped was their son how would they feel?
