Hang in there supermanlives! It sounds like you did the right thing. Thankfully you didn't have kids with her. Better to find out now that she is a POS instead of after you've been married for 16 years. Shit. She ripped out my heart and stomped on it. I don't see my kids very much. Oh well!

Tough break Supe. Being backstabbed by the woman you love is gonna hurt. I hope flouro guy wasn't a friend too.

That whole monkey branch thing is true. They always have a standby. And if they say, "oh, we haven't fucked. I wanted to do right by you before anything happened." - shes a fucking liar!

Best to find a woman who doesn't need anything - housing, meal ticket, place to fuck her other bf(s). They are slightly less likely to have someone waiting in the wings than a woman with financial and material needs.

If theres a next time - gut shot. People instinctively protect their face and few have the physical conditioning to take an uppercut to the solar plexus.

Heres the gist I get about supe: Is he hurt? Yes. Angry? Yes. Moving on? And up - FUCK YA!

My money? I bet shes got someone on hold waiting to take his place.

WOW I am so sorry that happened to you superman! That is unbelievable to me and you said you were together a long time. People think the grass is greener but it almost never is. Odds are she and the new guy will flop on there grow. We all know how many problems you run into in a new set up! If me and snype were ever to part ways of course i would still be growing but i would never steal even a piece of dust from him. The fact that she took the moms instead of cuttings says she wants you to fail. That is sad that she has that mentality :(

I HATE when woman have backups. Facebook is the number one cause of these backup guys (and backup woman, cause men do this shit just as much). I have had a Facebook here and there over the years. Make one, find some people i lost touch with, then delete. People have a million excuses of y they need a Facebook but it's all a bunch of bullshit. Get an email to keep in touch! Facebook is evil and kills relationships because when you are having trouble in your relationship and you are WEAK, THERES FACEBOOK right there for you to so easily talk to someone that you already know is interested in you. Then you get told what you wanna hear and of course the person is just turning you against your partner so they can get with you.

Anyways the fact that this new guy got your girl to turn on you, steal from you, and fuck you over, guarantees that there relationship will not work because of what it's built off of.

and i didn't see anyone respond to this so i have too..
also seems women know not to trust other women


they did a study (don't know too much about it) with women who cheated, and only about 10% showed any guilt or remorse

they are programmed to reproduce and are socialised to think of themselves first

where as men, are socialised to take care of the women's primary needs, forgoing his own, good luck trying to meet all higher needs up the pyramid


-aside from my man i don't have full trust in another man. But my girls are right up there with snype. point being, i trust more woman than men and i'm a woman.

-i have no idea about this study you speak of but i am willing to bet money right now that this is a bunk study. that is complete bullshit.

- LOL. this doesn't even merit a response it is so dumb. But i can't help myself!! MEN are programmed to reproduce! Humans in general are programmed to reproduce but it's the men running around fucking anything that walks (i am not speaking of all men). woman are the more selective ones. Am i in another world or isn't this common knowledge?

Sorry don't mean to stir the pot but i am a woman and when i see bunk info like this it goes to heart a bit. gotta stand up for my ladies!

I disagree

Blaming facebook ? What about personal responsibility ?
Oh... it's not the girl's fault... it's facebook, there are all these guys there... waiting to talk to you

Truth of the matter is, girls have tons of guys waiting for them. They get approached multiples times a day. It goes to their heads very often, and they start thinking all the guys want them, they don't consider all the other guys who didn't approach them.

Women are often not held accountable, or to a much lesser degree then men.

Then you get told what you wanna hear and of course the person is just turning you against your partner so they can get with you.

Again, taking away responsibility from women... it is not their fault... they got told some stuff... manipulated of course... they couldn't control themselves.. they are weak right ?

no self-control


Anyways the fact that this new guy got your girl to turn on you, steal from you, and fuck you over, guarantees that there relationship will not work because of what it's built off of.

Again... for a third time you are stating that ... it's the guy's fault. He manipulated the woman. He made her take the decision.

This is a very common theme in our gynocentric society. Women are not held responsible. Women don't get the same treatment as men. They are not held to the same standards.


-aside from my man i don't have full trust in another man. But my girls are right up there with snype. point being, i trust more woman than men and i'm a woman.

I am not sure you really trust. I think what you are saying is that you might trust women more then men. And that is totally understandable given all the misandry going on in america. The thing is, what you say, and what you really feel, are two different things. That is why men cannot listen to a woman's advice on how to pick up ladies.

Women are very dissimulative creatures (liars). Not to hate on them or anything. I guess it's how they survived.

-i have no idea about this study you speak of but i am willing to bet money right now that this is a bunk study. that is complete bullshit.

And you are entitled to your opinion, but to pass it off as a fact... well I am sorry, but if something is dumb then that's it.
If you want to state facts, then you are free to post your own counter-studies.

- LOL. this doesn't even merit a response it is so dumb. But i can't help myself!! MEN are programmed to reproduce! Humans in general are programmed to reproduce but it's the men running around fucking anything that walks (i am not speaking of all men). woman are the more selective ones. Am i in another world or isn't this common knowledge?

Why do you feel the need to call things dumb ?

Remember when I said that there is a lot man-hatred (misandry) going around ? I think you got conditionned pretty good.
It's not your fault. You have no free will right ? You get told stuff, and that's it right ? Be careful snype, who knows what will happen if some guy whispers to your woman's ears.. Oh yeah, and I would be careful with the facebook.. seems like your woman's got some issues with that program. Seems like it's a place where women are manipulated to ditch their men. lol.

Men have free will. Something which is scary to a lot of them, hence why a lot of them go under a woman's command.

Men getting burned to the ground by women is a very common thing.

Women are objectified.

Men are disposable.

It's not easy being a man today.

There used to be compensations for all the bullshit be-a-man crap, it was way more valued to be a "man" at a certain time..
Thinking like the 1930s lol. I think it started to bad in the 60s, with birth control letting women sleep around all they want, and all the no fault divorce laws that lets women cheat and get 60-70% of a man's earnings, including his house.

What about a man, who gives birth to a kid that's not your own ? You find out a couple years later, sorry buddy, you are still gonna pay that alimony. That is the law in america.

80% of suicides, 80% of homeless

93% of america's prison population

as a man you are not even entitled to your feelings (even when it is known that boys cry more then girls)

and you expect these people to act like humans ? humans have feelings

one day snypette you might get a feel of what i'm talking about, it's gonna be a heavy thing to take in

maybe you won't, I have a feeling it wouldn't be of use to you

women are in the best position to stop the exploitation of men, but it's simply not in their best interest

our society has been serving women since the 12th century

Maybe blaming this on gender is just an easy out, rather than deciphering the complex character traits of an individual. She just sounds like a bad person, regardless of which set genitalia.

I put the most important info in bold.

Men are:

99.999% of American combat deaths and casualties (historically)
http://thewall-usa.com/information.asp

http://www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf
http://www.hatsrcool.com/Americas-Major-Wars.html

“The numbers of wounded women and female amputees, meanwhile, are considerably less than their male counterparts–at least 378 wounded versus 17,490; 11 amputees versus over 400–but they are historic for modern day warfare.”
http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/dyn/aid/2755/context/archive

A Pentagon study published in March on the mental health of soldiers returning from deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan found that more than one- third of U.S. soldiers received psychological counseling. A statistic buried in the study: 23.6 percent of women reported a mental health concern compared with 18.6 percent of men.

http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/dyn/aid/2755/context/archive

(currently, women are not even required by law to register for selective service, but even mentally challenged and physically disabled men are, in addition to all the healthy ones)

In contrast, women get every veteran’s benefit a man does, yet comprise less than 3% of combat deaths or casualties and a woman makes the cover of Time magazine (person of the year/2003 standing in front of two men.

Men are 93% of industrial deaths and accident (NIOSH)

Even though murder is the leading workplace cause of death for women, a statistic often used by gender feminists, that number is only a percentage of the 6% of workplace deaths that women comprise. In other words, a fraction of a small fraction.

One example:

Between 1890 and 1917, two hundred thirty thousand (230,000) [male] railroad workers were killed. One of the most dangerous jobs was “brakeman.” Each car had to be stopped manually and it was the brakeman’s job to stop four or five cars. The brakeman walked on top of the RR cars and turned a wheel, putting the brakes “on” for each car. It was not unheard of for a brakeman to be thrown from the top of a RR car.

Men are:

76% of homicide victims – DOJ

80% of Suicide victims – CDC


# Suicide took the lives of 30,622 people in 2001 (CDC 2004).
# Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death for all U.S. men (Anderson and Smith 2003).
# 24,672 suicide deaths reported among men in 2001.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/suifacts.htm
24,672 / 30,622 = .8056952

In other words, over 80% of all suicide deaths in 2001 were male.

also:

“Suicide ranks 11th among causes of death in the US, with 30,622 completed suicides in 2001. It is the 3rd leading cause of death among people 15 to 24 yr. Men ? 75 yr have the highest rate of death by suicide. Among all age groups, male deaths by suicide outnumber female deaths by 4:1.”

Source: http://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec15/ch205/ch205a.html

“The other most common suicide victims are divorced and/or estranged fathers like Derrick Miller. In fact, a divorced father is ten times more likely to commit suicide than a divorced mother, and three times more likely to commit suicide than a married father.

Men are the overwhelming majority of rape victims.

Male rape has been called “The most closely guarded secret of American prisons.” (Weiss and Friar 1974)

There are estimated to be over 300,000 male rapes per year in American prisons and jails.

Meanwhile A United Nations statistical report compiled from government sources showed that more than 250,000 cases of male-female rape or attempted rape were recorded by police annually. The reported data covered 65 countries.

According to the 2009 United States National Crime Victimization Survey estimates, only 55% of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement officials. When a male is raped, less than 10% are believed to be reported. Female-male and female-female rape are ignored altogether in this survey.

Other facts regarding men and rape:

Overall, the victims of rape related to childhood sexual abuse are more often male than female, 6.7% to 5.6% respectively.

* 50% of homeless youth reported being sexually abused by a female. From: It’s Not What You Think: Sexually Exploited Youth in British Columbia. http://www.nursing.ubc.ca/PDFs/ItsNotWhatYouThink.pdf

Additionally, the rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual abuse reported by women were dramatically higher than the corresponding rates reported by men: among prisoners, 6.9 percent versus 1.7 percent. Men, on the other hand, reported higher rates than women of sexual misconduct by staff members (most of which is committed by staff of the opposite sex),3and in juvenile detention, boys reported much higher rates of abuse by staff than girls did—most, again, committed by women.

When men seek assistance after experiencing intimate partner violence, they frequently encounter a lack of services and workers in the domestic violence industry who are hostile to them.

http://www.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines/Douglas Hines 2011 helpseeking experiences of male victims.pdf

Much of this mistreatment is based on a fault-ridden paradigm in the mental health industry.

A woman is the party filing for divorce in about 66% of divorce cases.

“How often was it that many more of women wanted the divorce more than the men?
2/3. The same as the amount responsible for divorce filings. And yet another study of divorced couples found that the majority of divorced wives and husbands both agreed it was the wife who wanted out.”

Women receive custody in about 84% of child custody cases.

In the spring of 2002, an estimated 13.4 million parents had custody of 21.5 million children under 21 years of age whose other parent lived somewhere else. About 5 of every 6 custodial parents were mothers (84.4 percent) and 1in 6 were fathers (15.6 percent), proportions statistically unchanged since 1994

(Table A).

According to Los Angeles divorce consultant Jayne Major:

“Divorced men are often devastated by the loss of their children. It’s a little known fact that in the United States men initiate only a small number of the divorces involving children. Most of the men I deal with never saw their divorces coming, and they are often treated very unfairly by the family courts.’”

Not only is all this imbalance around marriage and children unfair to men, we must also consider that the damaged inflicted on fatherless children is staggering:

63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.

90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.

71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)

75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average. (Rainbows for All God’s Children)

70% of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Sept. 1988)

“Judge bashes Probation Department for gender bias in favor of leniency for girls”

http://articles.nydailynews.com/201...-bias-probation-officers-probation-department

The 2006 United States’ rate of incarceration of 751 inmates per 100,000 population is the highest reported rate in the world, well ahead of the Russian rate of 628 per 100,000.

93% of the prison population is male with over 60% having no High School education. America has now passed Russia as the country that has the largest percentage of its population incarcerated, yet we still claim to be the freest country on earth.

The number of persons on probation and parole has been growing dramatically along with institutional populations. There are now 7.2 million Americans incarcerated or on probation or parole, an increase of more than 290 percent since 1980.

http://www.sentencingproject.org/

The problem of sentencing disparities is compounded by an epidemic of false accusations:

205 (and growing) wrongly convicted people have been exonerated by DNA evidence since the beginning of the Innocence Project.

204 of the wrongly convicted were men.

Most of them were falsely imprisoned for rape.


http://www.innocenceproject.org/

As we saw in the Duke Lacrosse rape case fiasco, false accusers are rarely prosecuted and when they are it is only as a misdemeanor (at most), while rape itself is vigorously prosecuted as a felony. The Duke false accuser, Crystal Gayle Mangum went on to commit assault, arson and finally murder before authorities made a good faith intervention.

One attorney speaking at premiere for the movie, After Innocence, estimates that there are between 20,000 and 100,000 wrongly convicted still in prison.

Valid research puts the estimated false rape reporting rate at 41%

Capital Punishment Targets Men Almost Exclusively

Since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, there have been over 1,200 executions in the United States. Eleven of them, or less than 1%, were women. This stands in stark contrast considering women commit, by DOJ estimates, 10% of all murders, are involved in 35% of all domestic homicides (are involved often means they get other people to kill for them) and nearly 30% of murders where the victim was another family member.

We hear a lot about the historical oppression of women’s voting rights, but few if any women who were born in the 20th century were ever without the right to vote in their lifetime, upon reaching legal voting age. On the other hand, around 2400 hundred California men (42% of CA men killed in Vietnam) gave their life for their country without being allowed by their country to vote. The exact number is 2,381. Four of the twelve Iwo Jimo flag raisers died for their country without their country ever allowing them the right to vote.

http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/archive/a-b/blumhorst/2005/blumhorst052805.htm

http://www.thewall-usa.com/names.asp

“The youngest Vietnam KIA is believed to be Dan Bullock USMC, at 15 years old.
At least 5 men killed in Vietnam were 16 years old.
At least 12 men killed in Vietnam were 17 years old.
There are 120 persons who listed foreign countries as their home of record.
At least 25,000 of those killed were 20 years old or younger.
The oldest man killed was 62 years old.”

If you do a full count on all the men in the 20th century who died for their country without being allowed to vote the numbers will be staggering.

In America there are over 270 women’s commissions, but only one for men in New Hampshire.

There are over 700 Women’s Studies programs on colleges and universities throughout the United States teaching thousands or tens of thousands of classes from the gender feminist perspective, but not one program or class, teaching men’s studies from the masculist perspective.

Men are fully half of the victims of domestic violence (26% of intimate partner homicides), yet are denied service at most tax payer funded domestic violence shelters.


The CDC reports that in cases of non-reciprocal intimate partner violence (one directional) that women are more than twice as likely to be the aggressor. The report cites that women comprise 70% of perpetrators, men 29%.

In the largest collection of studies on intimate partner violence known, Martin Fiebert of the California State University, Longbeach offers the following:

SUMMARY: This bibliography examines 286 scholarly investigations: 221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 371,600.

Source: http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm

In another study the CDC lists male victims of domestic violence at more than 34%, but men injured in Iraq (and all other men) are by law in California excluded from domestic violence shelter services. Only one shelter in Lancaster, CA accepts men and it has been extensively harassed for doing so.

That harassment is a systemic problem with origins that emanate from academe. Dr. Murray Straus, an internationally recognized expert on intimate partner violence published the following paper outlining the various ways that feminist ideologues suppress data and research on IPV that demonstrates gender symmetry in its incidence.

Men are subject to extreme discrimination in healthcare.

Men today die on average 6 years sooner than women. In 1920 the variance was one year. The death rates for prostate and breast cancer are similar, but because men die of other things more frequently-accidents ,war, heart disease etc., there are fewer men left to die of prostate cancer. This is akin to saying people from a nation like Zimbabwe are immune to Alzheimer’s- but in fact they die of other things before they can get old enough to contract Alzheimer’s.

To date, there are numerous federal offices on women’s health, and not a single one for men. Also, the lion’s share of gender specific medical research is done on behalf of women.

Pocketbook Power: How to Reach the Hearts and Minds of Today’s Most Coveted Consumer – Women
Bernice Kanner
From the Back Cover

Women as an economically disadvantaged group is a myth that negatively affects men.

Not too long ago, legendary adman David Ogilvy chided his peers for talking down to women. He berated those who ignored women or discounted them, misconstruing men’s higher paychecks to mean greater spending clout. And he was right. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, women–who comprise just over 51 percent of the U.S. population, making them the largest consumer segment in the country–control six trillion dollars in buying power annually. Statistics show that:

Women make 88 percent of all U.S. retail purchases. Some experts even predict that, by 2020, women will control most of the money in America.

Women control 88 percent of all purchases.

Women handle 75 percent of family finances. 43 percent of those with assets over $500,000 are women.

Women influence two out of every three of the 3 trillion dollars spent in the U.S. each year!

From the Sisters4Sisters Yellow Pages:

Women are starting businesses at twice the rate of men.

One out of every 11 American women owns her own business.

Currently there are over 10.6 million women-owned businesses employing 19.1 million people and generating $2.5 trillion in sales.

Women make or influence over 85% of all purchasing decisions.

In 2010, women have the majority of wealth in America.

Men pay the majority of social security taxes and are outlived by six years by women, but the government makes no fair adjustment to how those funds are distributed.


In summary, men experience systematic discrimination in parenting, domestic violence policies, education, criminal sentencing, paternity, forced labor, military conscription, public health policies, genital integrity, false accusations, reproductive rights, portrayal by the media and in the coverage of their issues by the news media.

Misandry is often expressed through racism.

From Scottsboro An American Tragedy.

“The protection of white womanhood, it might be the pivot around all Southern culture. Of the 5,000 people who were lynched from 1880 to 1940, most were black men accused of raping or sexually assaulting white women.” – Robin Kelly, Historian

From American Man

“In 1931, two white women stepped from a boxcar in Paint Rock, Alabama to make a shocking accusation: they had been raped by nine black teenagers on the train.” … ”- a poor white woman whose lie lends her respectability…”

Scottsboro An American Tragedy
The case that sparked the civil rights movement

As we have seen with the “war on drugs,” legislation like VAWA, primary aggressor laws, mandatory arrest laws and the like have a disproportionately negative effect on minorities and other low income populations.
