Sorry, I forgot to add you'll need membership approval by the forum administrators. It shouldn't take more than a day.

I think it's a forum for men trying to come to terms with their relationships with women. It's not an easy thing to reason with an emotional woman, so I can understand the closed-door policy.

I think you could justify quoting it here.
A mindful man needs few words.

Yes, it's not a long post.

From http://www.dontgetmarried.proboards75.com/. From the thread "Recently married and regretting it" :

Dont spend too much time intellectualising and rationally deconstructing or decrypting a specific woman and her machinations. She is Woman, as most are (including most 'men')... mere illusion. She is her own illusion and there is no point trying to understand where it starts, where it ends and how it works.

Simply rely on your perceptual and rational faculties and most importantly your experience and direct observation of Woman. In all its ephemeral, denied, justified and rationalised glory. She is a mere wisp. She gets her power from YOU and your buy-in to her illusion.

The solution is at once rationally simple, yet functionally difficult... SWITCH HER OFF. But the on/off switch isnt in her, its in US. Its hard to do b/c of all the crapola swilling about one's psyche and l beleive this is where the real hard work is and in fact where men will be freed and by proxy women will be freed. Thing is women have to do the same thing (stop their hankering for a man who reflects her idealised masculinity) and address their own SELFs.

But dont hold ya breath. Few people are going anywhere near the out door, let alone thru it or along the path thats on the other side of it. Its all that one can do to do it for oneself. But l think folks realise how hard that is so instead we all run around pointing fingers of self-denial at each other.

Anyway, stuff it. Be your own compass and if someone wants to get lost, let them. If they want to be found, help them. If they want to stop and thing BEFORE heading out, then great. That person is worth knowing, or more particularly will ADD rather than TAKE from one's experience.

Here's a nice exposition of Woman psychology/behaviour, from a female...
http://www.naturalthinker.net/atheist.html

She's very straight up, but before ya get too excited, there's a sting in the tail for the masculine ego, namely its encumbant upon MAN to stop feeding Woman the nonsensical projections which inform her deluded sense of self. At first, l found this a bit hard to take, now l recognise that you cannot expect women to drag themselves up, when men are sort of keeping them where they are... as idealised play-thing and hack-worker.

Now, l just take that to mean that the essence of Woman is unconsciousness, flowing, ephemeral, existential. Men have less fear of REASON and its kissing cousin LOGIC and the way these establish TRUTH and REALITY. Actually now lm thinking that men knowing full well that the illusion is psychologically preferable to the reality, yet destructive to one's own being. Thus, it makes sense to lumber someone else with that burden and then we can watch the show. Its a bit like having someone else live put on the costume for our amusement.

Essentially, we are more in touch with the rational faculties, less encumbered by self deciet (we make women carry that for us).

Tho, personally l stop short of figuratively rescuing or helping them. l dont have the patience nor inclination to go up against OTHER people's nonsense. Its all l can do to sort out my own crap.

Bro, just get out, dont give the details of this particluar woman too much thought. Just try to get out with a minimum of harm and a maximum of sanity.

peace.
