Feeling and doing don't always equate.

Oh, I'm still feeling rather self-pleased.  The girls have been hunted well and often.  And they in turn have enjoyed hunting me.  I have worn the poor dears out though.  I'll give them a break and find other pursuits.  What that is an activity, it isn't truly all that active.  Further, it is spur of the moment with no gain save that a couple of cat women and an ogre get a bit of exercise.  Sustained only until rest is needed.

Getting on to other things is not happening as I had hoped.  No worries.  I have almost two weeks of feeling better, at least.  I do suspect, somewhere in there, I will find myself to doing a bit more work.  Hopefully a lot more work.  Then again, that I am awake, not in pain, and actually enjoying myself might be as good as it gets in the process of restarting medications.  Noting that my blood pressure and blood sugar is way up, I'm not quite in the best of health yet.  I'll keep hoping, and looking for the windows of opportunity, but I won't stress about things too much.  I do what I can, what is easy, and until I get too exhausted or sleepy.

I have seen an article regarding men, women, and Japan a great deal of late.  Actually, I have been seeing this regarding most Western nations, China, and Eastern Europe, specifically Russia.  What has happened is that the demographics are imploding.  I have been tracking this from before I was blogging.  However, it seems that the term, out of the pan and into the fire, is the only way to describe the phenomenon at this point.  I also suspect that the birth rates in the US and Europe are fiction, at least for the native populations.  A few years ago, for example, Britain learned that the most popular name for a baby boy was Mohammed.  It isn't that obvious in the US, as many legal and illegal aliens still prefer, mostly, Englified names for their children.  So far.  Either that, or like most other government, social, and news reporting, name statistics are purely fiction.

What this article does, that I have not seen before, is discuss just exactly what is happening, at least in Japan.  Men and women are both selecting to not only not get married, but not interact with each other even in loose relationships.  Women are terrified, it seems, of filling the role of wife and mother.  Men, on the other hand, are disinterested in women.  Actually, neither is probably new.

Men, despite what women think of us, have a very... limited interest in women.  Essentially we have always known that women are problematic, on almost every front.  I don't agree with most of what, or why, a woman thinks what she thinks.  I don't agree with most of what makes a woman tick.  There are areas were our thinking can, mildly, overlap.  But for the most part I have always understood that a woman is a foreign critter.  My interest is based on many things.  That difference itself, the physical differences and what they mean, and the potential for children, a clean comfortable home, and cooked meals.  For my part, the truth about the differences between us has never been an issue so long as the family structure held.  Or, that wasn't the reason I never married.  When completely freed of moral, ethical, social, and legal constraints, women are completely untenable.  Not even worthy to be lovers, really.  Oh, nothing personal, just the facts as I see them.

As for women?  Yes, their fears are well grounded.  Bearing a child will take a woman as close to death, possibly, and at times, as she will know until the day of her death.  Each time very possibly, and not always just at the finish line.  Further, home keeping is not as easy as many would suggest.  The reason, for example, that women who actually keep their homes in good condition also look fit... is because they are.  They don't need special workout routines, gym passes, or a slew of dvd's and special equipment.  However, it is a nearly thankless job, an endless job.  Women have been taught, in the "advanced nations", that they are above such things.  They have been so well educated that they will personally keep themselves out of marriage and family life because they deserve better, missing that they are guaranteeing the social structure which has brought them to their unprecedented, and unsustainable, levels of freedom, to a screeching halt.  Some education is better than others, it would seem.  Or, some are lead to think while others can only follow the herd, even if it is over a cliff.

My health is my main drawback, as to finding a wife.  Well, and the lack of suitable partners.  Women, younger or older, do believe that they don't deserve the restraints that come with raising a family, or even suffering a husband.  There are a few, still, who might be viable.  They will have to be tamed, as all are now shrews.  If there is variances among those.  My trick is getting out often enough to separate the wheat from the chaff.  I have a very slim chance, at this point.  For which, in some ways, I am grateful.  Perhaps some people, and some nations, deserve to be no more.  Besides, you can't, if you know the real numbers, even consider saying I didn't kick a lot of tires, go as far from celibacy as a man can, and actually ask for a hand four times.  My job, travel, and bad luck all played a part in my missing out.  I may be single, but not in the Japanese way.  I have simply turned to that way as other options don't work, or any better.

The only way to potentially slow the death of the West would be to stop employing women.  Only faced with fewer options, and parents wanting her out, would she choose marriage.  I am not even sure that would guarantee children as things stand.  And few men will risk taking on a wife without other changes.  I suppose one could suggest that if we keep going, as is, which we will do, that it will work out.  And it will.  But the West will no longer be the West.  Western Civilization is well and truly dead.  Doesn't mean, if I could find a wife, that I wouldn't lead my own little part of life my own little way.
