Is it better to be married, or single?

Could go either way. Either a trusted spouse to watch your
back, dig out that shrapnel you picked up, and network with
the neighbors and bring home intel.

Or, she could be the clean friek that threw out all that
useless crap from the garage, like the Coleman lamp you need
now that the power is out.

Way too many assumptions there. In your case, the only thing you need
to worry about is how much she'll deflate when the temperature drops.

Fortunately for the Mormons women tend to synch up their cycles when
living together so the baby rapers get to have their wives on the rag
at the same time.

Teams work better than loners. I would say married people have better
chances.

I think it's a very good idea to bundle with a significant other in a
survival setting--which I assume we are all in already. Question is,
like we were discussing about dogs, whether you have a relaxed liberal
arrangement of equality or one of conservative calm assertiveness, as
Cesar Milan says.

She needs his strength and resourcefulness; he needs her warmth and
care. Question still is, Does this mean equal authority about all
decisions or is it better for one to be pack leader?

I bet among Mormons the man gets to be the patriarchal figure that
makes the decisions. Probably in a group there is communal thinking.
I do know that sometimes women are elected to higher positions in a
tribe. The pattern of civilization seems to be that men are frontier
explorers and women stay at home in the towns, raising the children.

A related question is Just how free-wheeling can these "marriage"
relationships be? Seems like in the Americas Europeans learned from
the Indians how to trade for a squaw, who was expected to do stuff
like make clothes, prepare food, and maybe help translate languages. I
like the way they used sign languages to pow-wow and make pacts.

The secret is that women know that bringing children into the
"marriage" changes everything and brings a focus for family survival.
Men may think they are going to still be playing the field. Some
native peoples are liberal about managing their lives to accommodate
all their needs and can take different partners for short-term
relationships.

Not sure what will happen in TSHTF situations, but I understand that
people tend to bond more quickly then. When the lights went out in
NYC, strangers got together quickly, I read, and 9 mos. later the
birth statistics spiked. People in countries experiencing famine and
other disruptions like that are known to reproduce more, possibly as a
strategy for survival.

Married or just coupled..the most important thing is to be coupled to a
woman that is as smart or smarter than you, has the same world views in
large part and wont mess with you unless you absolutely need it. And
the reverse of course is true as well.

She /he has to be trusted, able to mesh with the other partners world
view..or at least..understand it, and be able to help each other.

Supposely a person lives longer if not living alone. That does not mean
marriage or some type of sexual partner. I agree teams are better than alone.

But married to the wrong person is of little benefit. Personal experience
speaking here. First two husbands thought survival was having enough money to
buy alcohol or gamble. Fortunately, the current husband is also a survival
inclined individual. He is into the high tech answers to things, I cover the
low tech answers. Between the two of us we have handled most farm and child
emergencies with out need of outside help.

Standard disaster response of animals and plants is to breed.

Of course when the lights go out and there is no television or other
electrically based entertainment available is it all that surprising the birth
rate goes up? Too many folks have forgotten how to play card games/ board
games/ tell stories/ listen to a family member read a novel. I figure a good
survivalist has plenty of projects that don't need electricity and the necessary
goods to avoid pregnancy if sex is the chosen entertainment.

If/ when TSHTF it might be good idea to know how to deliver a baby safely. Too
many folks won't be prepared.

I've been married 37 years - soon to be 38.

Marry a woman who you would pick for a friend if she were a guy
instead of a woman.

Sex only goes so far - it's great, but it won't keep a marriage going
without basic compatability.

Similar sense of humor, doesn't have to be identical.

Similar intelligence - not good for a relationship if one partner is
substantially brighter than the other.

Similar basic character - "ants" and "grasshoppers" rarely work out in
the long run.

I think it's a very good idea to bundle with a significant
other in a
survival setting--which I assume we are all in already.

CY: There's a lot to be said for team work.

Question is,
like we were discussing about dogs, whether you have a
relaxed liberal
arrangement of equality or one of conservative calm
assertiveness, as
Cesar Milan says.

She needs his strength and resourcefulness; he needs her
warmth and
care.

CY: For true, they compliment.

Question still is, Does this mean equal authority about all
decisions or is it better for one to be pack leader?

CY: In the Patriots book, they chose TK as the team leader,
cause they knew that situations would arise that need a
quick answer, not a vote and recount. And then lawsuits
about dimpled chads.

I bet among Mormons the man gets to be the patriarchal
figure that
makes the decisions.

CY: The church policy is that the man is the patriarch. I
know of a couple families where that isn't the real way
things happen.

Probably in a group there is communal thinking.

CY: With most groups, I find that a natural leader rises to
the top. Sometimes a leader is in position who really isn't
qualified, and that creates problems. The boss's son at work
comes to mind.

I do know that sometimes women are elected to higher
positions in a
tribe. The pattern of civilization seems to be that men are
frontier
explorers and women stay at home in the towns, raising the
children.

CY: I remember that the American Indians were matriarchal.
You're right about civilization. Most families, Mom stays
home with the kids.

A related question is Just how free-wheeling can these
"marriage"
relationships be? Seems like in the Americas Europeans
learned from
the Indians how to trade for a squaw, who was expected to do
stuff
like make clothes, prepare food, and maybe help translate
languages. I
like the way they used sign languages to pow-wow and make
pacts.

CY: I sense there is a grey scale, of how strict. Seventies
hippies might have been free love, and Mormons of the 00s
tend to be stricter on marital purity. As with any groups,
I'm sure some hippies were totally faithful. And, I know
some Mormons who have strayed.

The secret is that women know that bringing children into
the
"marriage" changes everything and brings a focus for family
survival.
Men may think they are going to still be playing the field.
Some
native peoples are liberal about managing their lives to
accommodate
all their needs and can take different partners for
short-term
relationships.

CY: In theory, when the kids arrive, everyone stays
faithful. The reality is seldom that.


Not sure what will happen in TSHTF situations, but I
understand that
people tend to bond more quickly then. When the lights went
out in
NYC, strangers got together quickly, I read,

CY: Strangers in a stuck elevator, being very kind to each
other. That kind of thing. I do belive that Katrena and New
Orleans showed us what happens when welfare people are in
crisis. The other hurricane that wiped out Lousiana (and
Katrena which took out much of Lousiana) shows what happens
when working people with strong families are in crisis. I've
been curious what would happen if a strong Mormon community
had trouble.

and 9 mos. later the
birth statistics spiked. People in countries experiencing
famine and
other disruptions like that are known to reproduce more,
possibly as a
strategy for survival.

CY: Yes, the baby boom after the power cut. I also heard of
that.

I've got two "true" stories about satanic visitations to people in
church.

1. In England during the 1500s, a group of people were in church,
when a huge banging noise and vibration shook them, and a large black
bull battered its way in, causing a lot of damage.

2. Also during the 1500s a church service was interrupted when a
large black dog came in somehow. The dog was not normal, evidently,
as people were very afraid. One man who had the dog nose him in the
back suffered a "purse-like" wound. There is still folklore about
similar black dogs.

Another one about people on stage for a theatrical production
rehearsal, doing a scene about devils dancing and cavorting around. An
actor named Edward Allyne wrote that he noticed one too many devils
playing the scene, tried to deduce who was doing what, and suddenly
realized that one of the devils was a real one.

These episodes are documented, although some would say can't be for
real. What is evidently real is the Salem witchcraft trials in the US
Northeast during the 1600s. Supposed to be that ministers gave
blistering sermons about stuff like "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry
God," making people so afraid that you can still see their fingernail
marks in the rails. The short novel about "The Scarlet Lette" is
about how the minister had an illlicit romance with a young woman, and
prayed/sermonized his way out of the consequences--an illegitimate
child and an unwed mother with a scarlet letter "A" for adultery she
was forced to carry.

All very valid points and well written.

It helps to have enough shared interests/ skills to be able to have conversation
along with enough different interests/ skills to offset each other's needs.

I'm married to a woman who has no interest in 'survival'. My ideal is
to connect with a woman who is as smart (and lethal) as me. Someone I
can 'trust my back to' and know it is covered. If there are
'benefits', that's great... but survival is better, I need to find
someone soon, because Obama is looking to 'eliminate' the red list by
3/1/10... I'm sure I'm a red lister. In the new Obama world, marriage
is an obsolete concept, as is patriotism, and being an American. I've
written a 'novel' about the new Obama/Mabus world. If you are alive

making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of
it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different
countries, that the more public provisions were made for the
poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became
poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the
more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin

Diesel spewed: Its incredibly important to pick the right one.


Lets take a look at the last 40 years in the US when women had their
freedom.

First off women arent very bright. They figure out how the world works
when they are about 35 years old . They get stupid again when they are about
50. Theyre good for about 15 years and thats it. They single handedly
created the lot of the liberal rejects by being homewrecking ,family
destroyers , child abusers and neglectors, father , future and education
stealers . In exchange for careers, or welfare checks and their so called
independance
and freedom. And the right to be in power. And the right to divorce you to
the tune of 60% of families in America wrecked and broken. And sacrifice the
children. They also allowed taxes to be raised to the levels now . Where
they have to work to pay for it. Instead of working if they wanted for
extra cash.

On the other hand. Men have known for 100,000 years of evolution. That you
cant work and raise a family at the same time. Men still do all the nasty
jobs we are susposed to do to keep the world running. And wont quit a job
to sacrifice their kids. And will pay for their college education. Women
only do the jobs they want to do. And if they are bored with something.
including you. Its not going to happen. And you are gone. Therefore it
requires that women raise the kids and stay home. And men to go to work.

Mary Tyler Moore is a loser. The show was not put on the air because women
thought she was a loser. They had to be retrained to accept that single
,childless, homewrecking family destroyers are not losers .


Women need to accept the fact that theier career cannot be placed ahead of
their responsiblilities to their family and husband.


The priorities of a successful American womens family should look like this
. In this order.

1 ) husband
2) family
3) children
4) career.


Failed American women have turned it around.

1) career
2)kids
3)family
4)husband.


They have also changed the following rule .

A happy man makes a happy family.

To this ,

A happy woman makes a happy family.

Well it doesnt work the second way.

Because men do what they are susposed to do for the family

Women do what they want for their career.

If the happy man is gone. The kids will not get their education. There will
be no happy family.

And the woman will be 50, old and realize her career is nothing but a
useless job.

But then its too late.

Why.


Because men dont want old stubborn ,selfish, bitter , family destroyers,
who steal somebody elses homes and money as spouses.

We will accept you . If you were loyal and stayed with us.

Because you were hot and young once and life was initially good.

And that my friends sums up your American women marriage lesson for the
day.

You must have found a rare one.
In my opinion, most women never figure out how the world works are
require being led around by the hand to keep them alive.

If they have been living with a good man that would teach them what to
do day to day, they can manage that after he is gone.
Be if something new comes up to make that procedure no longer valid,
then they are in deep dodo.

Agreed, more or less.
I have long noticed that they tend to be idiots regarding simple
things like the mating ritual called dating.
They are the ones that spout that just because you date someone is no
indication that you will ever have sex with him.
And if he dumps you because you won’t put out, then he is a jerk.

This totally misses the fact that dating is a mating ritual aimed and
finding a girl to mate with.
If she isn’t going to mate with him, then she is wasting his time.
He has the right to want to mate because he is old enough and is ready
and if she isn’t then she isn’t the one for him and he should have the
right to find a girl that is equally as sexually active as he is
instead of being expected to date with a kid when he is a adult.

Another one is the tendency to keep kids socially retarded and
expecting the girls to date boys based on there age and not there
maturity, intelligence or interests.

For thousands of years girls have been interested in older males for
mating but women don’t like that because it cuts into there action.
So now when a 17 year old girl shows interest in a 23 year old guy,
they try to kill the guy and act like this match up is all the guys
idea and the girl is being totally abused.
The fact is, it is normal for her to want a guy that much older then
she is.

Some will.
Many now won’t because they have been burned so often before by women
that “forget” to take there birth control and get knocked up by there
choice only.
He not only was not ask if he wanted kids, and was denied the right to
help raise the kids once they were born.

I not only agree with abortion, but also believe that if one pardoner
does not agree with the abortion then that pardoner and that one alone
is held responsible for the kid in the future.
She has the right to abort the kid and not raise it and the man should
have the same right.

Not only that, but when they take a job that is normally a mans job
they only do the easy work, putting all the hard stuff onto the men on
the crew.

If you try to get them to either do the mans job or quit, they slap
you with a sexual harassment of discrimination suit and force you to
let them skate.

Interesting point, and likely accurate.
Before that it was Leave it to Beaver type shows where the women were
house wives with possibly a part time job while the man went out and
held down the job that paid the bills.

In defense of TV, it has shown examples of how people should act in
many of the older shows like the rifleman, bonanza, Daniel Boon, ect.

Unfortunately, now days most of TV is showing scum of the earth as a
example of how to act.

Unfortunately men also need to know this as well.
As in family and mate.

Agreed.
And for the husband, it should be
1. Wife
2. family
3. children
4. career

After all, career is just a job that will be gone in a heartbeat once
the boss wants it that way.
Family should be for ever.

The good wife's guide------- "Housekeeping Monthly" 13 May 1955

1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious
meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that
you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men
are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially
his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

2. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he
arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be
fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

3. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may
need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

4. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the
house just before your husband arrives.

5. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc. and then run a dust cloth over
the tables.

6. Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire
for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest
and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his
comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

7. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and
faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their
clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the
part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of
the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.

8. Be happy to see him.

9. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please
him.

10. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but
the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember,
his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

11. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out
to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to
understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at
home and relax.

12. Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and
tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

13. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all
night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that
day.

14. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have
him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

15. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low,
soothing and pleasant voice.

16. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or
integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always
exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to
question him.

17. A good wife always knows her place.

The good wife's guide circa 2010.

*Get two jobs because hubby turned into an alcoholic after losing his
job, losing your house and his retirement funds. Pimp out your
daughters to fund your new gambling addiction.

Lost his job due to affirmative action, and the companies
hiring women so as not to be labelled sexist. So, the man
who can do the job was replaced by a newbie of color, and a
woman who is clueless.

My mom had argued 3 cases in the US Supreme Court and was Chief
Assistant Atty General in charge of the civil division of the
California Department of Justice in 1970. And she never served a TV
dinner. Dinner was late (7:30) but it was always made from 'real'
food - meat, potatoes, vegetables and always a salad. She never took
pills of any sort and worked because she loved it. But, I always knew
she loved me, too.
