Hello, Joey! I'm so glad you took the time to read what I wrote. It does seem that a woman who has these 9 reasons for looking forward to re-marriage has a different view from you, yet you took the time to read it, tho what's written here may be different from what's written in the manosphere. I so respect you were willing to read this though you may not share the perspective. I just think that's cool.

And I've learned from you! When you wrote manosphere, I didn't know that term. I just -- incorrectly -- assumed you coined a cool word to explain a masculine point of view. So just now I googled it and realized it's actually a word that has meaning. So now I understand a little better what you mean about men in the manosphere. If someone tends to read a lot of material in the manosphere, but then was willing to still read what I've written here...I just think that's cool to read from multiple sources, not just the manosphere, but not just my kind of writing, either.

For my male friend that didn't want to get married again, he felt a bit discouraged--and confused--that some divorced women he was interested in were interested in getting married again. I think it helped him to at least learn these 9 reasons because he really didn't understand why they didn't want to stick to just an LTR. Now, he may still disagree, but at least maybe he got some insight. Like you said, he can stick to his guns about not getting married, and so a woman can decide to be with him or not. And a woman can stick to her guns about not wanting to only have an LTR, and so the man can decide to be with her or not.

I gotta head out to get a jog in, but it was nice to hear from you again.
