Gentlemen,

Some of you may recall a few months back, either on the now-defunct DGM2 board or here, perhaps both, a plea was made for anyone who had archived the classic, huge thread from years ago that was entitled “Married Men – Post Here If You Hate Your Life”, from a forum on the old website f***edcompany.com. Apparently the thread is now “lost”, and seems to exist nowhere on the web anymore.

You may also recall that I said, at the time, that I had spent many hours reading portions of this thread out of the Google cache of it (the thread was gone from the website itself). That Google cache is now long gone, as well. I may have mentioned that, although at the time I read it the Google cache was missing a good amount of the enormous number of pages in the thread, I had read through all the available pages and had cut and pasted the best posts into a text file as I went. This eliminated all the crappy posts, and all the pointless bickering (some feminists really got into attack mode), and preserved only the BEST posts for posterity.

You may also recall that I said that I had this text file somewhere, in some old backups, but that I hadn’t located it. Well, I just located it!

Below is that text file. As I said, all the “noise” was not included, leaving only the good stuff. In addition, whenever people made worthwhile replies to earlier posts, I appended those replies to the end of the post to which they referred, with a header like “REPLY”, “REPLY 2″, etc. separating the original post from the reply/replies. All posts (with their replies included) are separated from each other by a short line of dashes (“—————–“). I am going to paste the entire text file that I compiled in a series of posts below this one.

Hopefully this thread can be “stickied”, or permanently archived somewhere, for the good of all young men visiting this site who are considering marriage. Here we go!

Best Comments from an Internet Discussion Thread Entitled: “Married Men, Post Here If You Hate Your Life” Original source: fuckedcompany.com forum This best-of document compiled: October 2006.

I think most women can’t help trying to control their husbands – the irony is that they are increasingly miserable and insecure if they succeed. Deep down they don’t like being bitches, start despising their husband’s weakness and feel insecure because it’s like they are their husband’s mother while he is a child, leaving them the only adult in the house. IMO women’s attempts to control their husbands are an instinctively motivated test of his strength and character. Deep down they want the man to rise to their challenge, not give in. Giving in to them all the time brings out their worst while standing up to them in a fair-handed way brings out their best, IMO. Their negative tendencies are reined in instead of encouraged.

They can’t help it. Women are naturally attracted to, and attach to, dominant men. So be one.

Modern marriage is nothing but relationship insurance for women. When they get married, they can have their kids which further keep you in check.

the only chance a man has to be happy with his wife is if he does stand up to her. Over time the nagging, moods, etc greatly lessen if you make sure those tactics are the one sure way she never gets her way.

Most of us don’t “talk things out before” because things are ideal. You have a lot of sex, and you do what we want. So what’s to talk about? We were young and stupid, and didn’t realize the wedding cake was laced with Dr. Jekyll’s secret formula.

[Marriage is] like serving time in prison with a big fat cellmate who DOESN’T want to have sex with you.

let me be more to the point: there are plenty of men that are married, live like they did when they were single, and still get head when they want… The difference between us and your type: we control our wives, yours control you… you = momma’s boy…

I know plenty of married guys who let their wives walk all over them. I also know married guys who call the shots in almost everything in their marriage. I know a few guys who have a very even and fair relationship with their wives. With that said, I have no sympathy for the guys who let their wives walk all over them. They let it happen and then bitch and moan about it like the pussies they are. The guys who call the shots are the most confident men I know. Their wives like them being in control and respect them for it. These guys will bitch and moan about stuff sometimes, but it’s not too often

You just read my mind. My marriage is destroying me. I don’t know if I can ever regain my happiness. Thinking back on my life the other day, I realized that I was actually a happy person once. I loved life, I enjoyed other people’s company, I had hopes and dreams. It almost startled me to realize that was me instead of another person I was jealous of. REPLY: So just start being that old you. She was attracted to that old you.

The bottom line is this: Women don’t know what the fuck they really want. Guys are so fucking simple. We know EXACTLY what we want: Sex or blow jobs about 3 or 4 times a week, a good pizza or burger every now and then, and about one day a week that we can go do stuff that we like, whether it’s poker or golf or what have you. How hard is that to understand? Women, on the other hand, have NO CLUE what they want. They’ve been told they can have it all, that they need to be this or that, that they need to do this or that. I don’t think may of them honestly know what it is they want. They only know what it is they don’t have. REPLY: you hit it on the head. they don’t know, but they sure feel like whatever it is, it’s not enough, life sucks, and they need to take their unhappiness out on you.

Marriage is for women, not men.

All married men who are sober are miserable to one degree or another. Successful marriages are made by the man convincing himself he’s not as unhappy as he knows he is. Question: Why do men die before their wives? Answer: Because they want to.

Face it, women are selfish. All the wedding and receptions I see know are really just a celebration by the woman for the glorification of herself. What guy would go spend $20 grand or more on a wedding. Fuck, we’d buy a monster big screen TV and power tools for the basement. American woman are so selfish they really don’t give a fuck about the man. To them its all about me me me and you better work harder to give it to them. Thank God I’m not married, but I look at friends who are and just go “You poor bastard”.

I know 2 guys. Both make good money, are good looking, and great dads. Their wives are depressed, putting on weight, don’t work outside the home, want him to take the kids or start working as soon as he walks in the door. One goes out and gets massages and her nails done, also want a cleaning lady. Like WTF, is this some sort of full time vacation for her? Man, the dudes are like perfect husbands and they treat them like dirt. I feel sorry for you bastards. I know, it hurts I don’t have kids, but that can be a fantasy gone bad too these days. Just go to any mall.

For 19 years I’ve been tracking married couples where I work, people I socialize with, etc. 85% or so – the women have become fat sexless hogs and the men are miserable. If you have one of the 15%, be thankful on a daily basis. I’ve been fucking other women for 13 years. I warned her she was not cutting me off, but losing her place in line. choose your mistresses very carefully and you will find there is plenty of sweet pussy out there still eager to fuck you.

My wife was a complete off the wall fuck machine before we got married. Fun, energetic, beautiful. Now? Overweight, tired all the time, and forget a goddamn blowjob. Counting down the days…oh yes indeed.

Early in my marriage I found that I got the best behavior from my wife immediately after a fight in which I raised my voice and told her with authority that her behavior was not appropriate. She would start an argument usually by refusing to do something which we had previously agreed was her responsibility, or sometimes by speaking to me inappropriately. At first, I would try to address the subject reasonably, explaining the reasons why whatever she did was wrong. Eventually, I figured out that she knew damn well whatever she did to start the fight was wrong. She was just waiting for me to call her on it. A sort of test. We get along much better now. I think part of the problem is that I was raised without a dad, and my mom was a very strong figure who always told me that marriage was an equal partnership, etc. I’ve found this to be true in a way, but not the way I thought. Marriage is definitely a partnership, but both partners must acknowledge that gender roles are absolutely necessary to make it work. You can’t have a marriage of two neuters, the dynamic just doesn’t lend itself to a long-term happy couple. There has to be a man, and a woman.

They eat while the man is at work. They’re like the Terminator going after food instead of Sarah Conner. They never stop. They can’t be reasoned with! in a similar thread a while back, some guy describes his obese, couch potato wife as “a piece of furniture that talks and never shuts up”

This thread is great, I am not done with it yet – we are cleaning house from top to bottom – but, I have to say, all the advice about standing up to your wife, even if you are wrong – is 100% wisdom. However, if it turns out that you were wrong, say you are sorry. That being said, women want you to stand up to them.

A comedian did a bit once about men and women. Men are like dogs: You know EXACTLY what they like, what they want, and how they will react to whatever you do. Women are like cats: There is no fucking way to tell what they want, and if you do one thing one day, there is no guarantee that they will react the same way the next time you do it.

I got lucky…but I cannot guarantee the 26y/o guys I work with that they will have the same results. Most seem to be considering pampered bitches as wives. This is not good. I can’t stand spending 5 minutes in a room with these women. They are very materialistic and self-centered. Most of my 40-ish buddies are very unhappy or divorced outright. The entire situation is rather bleak. I consider myself lucky. When I got married, I had no idea of what I was getting into. You think you know… but NO ONE can predict 10..20 years into the future. It is a total crapshoot. I got lucky. I admit that freely.

Handle your business and be calm and rational. Do not allow yourself to get fucked over to avoid confrontation. If you can stay calm enough about disagreements to be a little playful about them, this is ideal. Women love guys like that.

Your (everyone who has posted in this thread thus far) problem is that you unconsciously need a female’s approval. That when she simply refuses to give you “approval” you give in.Dump that need for approval and tell your unconscious Little Boy to go fuck himself.
