Why Men Earn More 7 - The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap

[SerbAtheist]

Eureka! THAT is the recipe of female hypocrites: Treat a man like sh*t and with complete contempt and disrespect and then blame him for feeling insecure. never thought about it like this before.

wow, Dr. Farrel impresses me again! I would have just said, "you women need to change your understanding about men. Stop demanding the opposite all the time!"

lol 4:20 funny how his name is David. He sounds exactly like David Gilmour

women are often whores and men are generally not attracted to women unless they are whores

[rtardbox]

the 65 year old english man is very poorly spoken but completely correct!

men need to start making choices that are good for them - despite whether women concur with those choices or not. and p/s modern-day marriage is a joke

[mrshutter77]

He makes very good points & dispells allot of myth that Feminazis alwasy try to perpetuate, but he sounds so wussish-Wussy Wussy-& his "chaning expectations" idea is not realistic becuase it will go against Human Nature!Women by nature are attracted to men who make more than they do & offer something more than they have to offer. They look for a man to solve thier problems one wya or another-even if they may not admit it!-When a man loses what he can offer-he loses attraction-It's evolution!

Countartha: "men will always shy away from successful women [ more successful than they are ,anyway ]" The message women are giving men is that they're not good enough if they earn less. Tha's the same idea as a beautiful person saying that an less attractive person is not good enough. So it's not that men don't like successful women BUT they shy away in the same way that an unattractive person will shy away fron a beautiful person. Who wants to be rejected?

About the issue of men clinging to beauty and youth. I don't find it very fair to say that about men because women are the same way OR practically the same. I've made a point to look at many couples and i find that there's as much men with less attractive women then vis versa. So my conclusion is that women like beauty as much as men but women just want the money on top of that.

For Women in Western countries it is a buyers market. There is also a surplus of men in the 18-30 demographic and women can and do get men of superior looks. Also, Women look for dominance, looks and wealth. A shy, unassertive guy with limited means, even if he is rather good looking, will be pleased to have a nice lady even if she is unattractive. The mating economics are heavily skewed in favor of women in the West.

So true.

So people who claim that he is some anti female vile hater are completely out to lunch, they are projecting and they are the haters, Warren Farrell is a kind man.

See this quote from an amazon reviewer of his "why men earn more book".  "Don't waste your money on this pathetic trash. The author has one agenda: to bash women and make fellow insecure males feel great and manly about their obvious misogyny and small-mindedness."

[ArgusEyes]

I find the works of Warren Farrell to be very female friendly, for example in the myth of male power he cites how he hopes to make women love their fathers and husbands more by understanding them and in the wage gap he is always recommending how women can take advantage of their status to earn more money. He used to be on the board of directors for N.O.W. after all.

Yeah, he's a bit touchy-feely for me, but still a magnificent champion of our side. I think the whole "women can have it all" discussion is patently ridiculous. Nobody can have it all. The best thing we can do is tailor down expectations. It's not social pressure that makes women prefer high status males--it's innate. All of us: Please stop being a prisoner of female approval!

[CountArtha]

He kind of scares me with the idea of "changing expectations." That's not going to change; women will always be attracted to successful men and men will always shy away from successful women (more successful than they are, anyway).

The hand walking comment is so true. XD
