Thank God I don't live in a vacuum.  Sometimes I write things and despite being a great communicator, I overlook the obvious.

Here I am telling all that I love women with articles anti-women.  LOL  Sorry.  Let me explain.

I have been in a research mode lately.  So based on all I've found I wanted to discuss those subjects.   My aim was to find positive resource sites for men.  Again, I was in an abusive relationship, I was a victim.  I have recovered.  I have forgiven etc... 

What I learned from my experience is I  have an obligation now to help other men get beyond the past and move on.    Yes sometimes from just reading a few articles here it can even appear I have not moved on fully.  I hate that sentiment.  It really isn't me.  Ask the people close to me and they'll vouch for me on this.  But you can't, so you'll just have to trust me.   I've tried to make it clear already... I do have a foot in the past in terms of a custody battle, so I will from time to time deal with antics, gaming and divisive behavior that can spill over here in some form. 

What I don't do is rope my kids into it.  You never see me here write.. my son came home today and said this and now I have to do that...   What happens in relation to my children and my custody case is not featured here.  For me to offer insight to other men about what happens within the scope of my own battle is adult conversation that has no bearing on my case. Although I'm sure someone will try.  Hell, I bet EVERY and ONLY articles that appear to discuss my case are printed and used out of context to no end.   Whatever.  I've considered this and almost closed down my blog at one point but I realized my life should not be bullied and I should not compromise my values which are sound and worth espousing.   Good men should see that it is OK to be upset and it’s OK to vent.  Then you move on.  

I have taken my blog in a new direction lately.  I'm featuring advertising which means I'm becoming more of a public figure.  That means I have to lose the photos of my kids.  As much as I like teaching others about philosophical issues and ranting, the family life I lead won't mix with a larger audience beyond my friends and family. I'll balance that out.

I've also had to consider that my ex still visits my blog.  So... sadly I've had to protect so much of my private life anyhow that all my best photos and best life experiences are left out of this medium.    In the end, the photos of my family are becoming irrelevant.  My blog has become a meeting place for adults, not a family album for friends as it once was.

As they say, everything changes.

Back to my original point.  The entire reason I posted three articles so similar in nature is because I've been conducting research that gave me a lot to chew on in the arena of men and women.    It's rough.  I hate to see women painted as users and entitlest insisting they must be appeased.   Women are amazing creatures to be appreciated for the many sides they have.  They are more complex then men.  They mature sooner.  They must be respected as God made women from Adam's rib.   Women are a part of every man and to speak poorly of them in general terms is to speak poorly of ourselves. 

I won't promise you that I won't ever publish a man verses woman article.  I recall having published an article Don't Marry A Career Woman (based on the now famous Forbes article) a couple years ago before I was divorced.  That article was extremely accurate and ultimately applied to my own life when I didn't realize it!    I had no idea my own wife was having an affair while the article delineated high numbers of career women had affairs with co-workers.    My point... even though something is true, doesn't mean it needs to be said.   Live and learn.  And for the record, I've forgiven her, I've forgiven him and understand my place in the big picture.   Life goes on whether you enjoy it or not.  I've learned to enjoy life despite a crappy hand in life and that really is what it all comes down to.  Bitching about women is not my goal.  I will bitch however if someone comes along and starts the silliness.  

This horse is dead now.  I will press the publish button now.  Go cook dinner with this far from mind and spend the rest of my evening with friends laughing about completely unrelated matters.  You on the other hand can stew over my articles or find the fascination in them I found when I stumbled over the subjects.

I promise you I will find some great women’s sites in the next day or so and show you all that my interest range.  I'm not locked on with tunnel vision to one issue. Just wait until you see my article about neti pots!  LOL
