Women run on emotion, men on sex.
ANY womn can be more easily scammed than any man.
fact of life, go ask a used car salesman.

I don't care who they are how old they are or what they look like, a woman can be flattered and taken, and most of the time they even know it and consent cause they love the spiel.

very emotional creatures, to a fault.

ever been to a family reunion? watch both and see who does what, can't deny it.

And plain women don't cheat and beautiful women do, and that is because the plain ones would if they could.

stop covering the truth, it is what it is.

I would never have a woman run a corporation, they will run it into the ground.

look at Hewlett packard. and any other company you want.
they arent built for evil, they are built for feedback, and yo cant have that in a succesful business.

Rapeing and pillaging is a mans forte.

Why do women even WANT such a legcy? Shows insecurity at best.

I am going to assume that looks (or shaved legs) aren't all you care about. becuase otherwise you will be no better off than the poor suckers that were whining in the article that started this thread. Where do looks and standards of personal hygiene rate in your list of priorities?
That kind of thing is important in the initial phase. Once you've got over the fact you've bagged a gudd'un, it's almost entirely irrelevant (except for improving your genetic-stock, looks-wise).
That is pre-supposing that anyone actually looks beyond the initial phase. I find most people are so self-absorbed they can't really get get past their own assumptions and bias' to see other people for what they really are. which is what this thread is about.
Do you guys have ANY idea how many women don't feel as though the guy they are with actually knows them, or see's them for themselves? (Good clue would be if you know what kind of xmas or birthday present she really would like, not the one she just kind of smiles and gooes over but ne'er touches again.)
I bought a lovely set of pots and pans for my wife 15 years ago for her birthday. I will never make the same mistake again [smilie=5dunce.gif]

dude, dont ever buy anything imprtant for a woman, you will never hear the end of it. (Even if they wanted it) Major decisions are theirs.

Also, if they accept what you did spopnntaneously and accept it, that would make a bad precedence and would encourage you to spend more, they have to quash this, so that they can spend more themselves.
(Whatever you buy them they will take it back and then buy the same thing in whatever other color there was.

fact of life.

Interesting, i bough a compleate set of beourgeat cookeware, (best in the world) and it was immediately quashed. She bought another reasonably good set. Who knows why, wasn't that much price difference.

I guess it is like her buying you a shotgun. Whatver she picked, it wouldn't be the one yo wanted. it goes both ways.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hope_full', 'T')his outrageous onus of fakery is never asked of men. They're taught from the ground up to just be who they really are. I think that's why there are all the jokes and goofball stories of men being so simple and women being so complicated and hard to understand. It's tough to play a role that is not true to your own soul.

Sex roles are a prison for both genders. This sort of "our sex has a worse time of it" deal kind of went old after that old Flintstone episode in the '60s with Ann-Margrock.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WildRose', 'W')e have gone so far with the emphasis on youth and beauty in our culture that we no longer are aware of what is real.
What, you mean these aren't real women?
Image

HA! I get your drift.

They are representations of some women, probably in the 20-year-old range. Of course, drawings such as this one depict fantasy, much like any Conan comic. Not saying that there aren't real women who resemble the drawings (we all know that there are), but there is a certain standard that's represented. Much like the men in Conan and other comics, too, I guess. :)

The media tells men they want certain things in a partner, and there is a huge disconnect, I believe, between that and what most people finally realize about what they need in a partner. It takes maturity, although I'm not entirely sure that people around mid-life always act in a mature fashion! Men at middle age sometimes discover that they love more traditionally feminine activities, like baking, gardening, taking kids to movies, etc. But our culture seems bent on persuading men that they want a trophy wife and new, exciting sex all the time! Why no emphasis on discovering everything they can about the partner they have, strengthening the relationship they have? My guess is the corporate media doesn't want us to be happy in long-term, committed relationships - we probably won't spend as much money that way!

That kind of thing goes both ways, of course.

I blame the simplistic "Mars / Venus" kind of relationship books as standing in the way of figuring out what someone is really like. Many people read them, and I often wince when I hear some simple "truism" trotted out to explain why "all women think blah" or why "all men want foo".

I have a really good idea of what my wife likes for gifts, because I do listen to what she talks about, and I don't have any preconceived notion of what she wants "because she's a woman". Vice-versa, too.

But then, we consider each other to be best friends as well as spouses -- we began as co-workers, then friends, then lovers & marriage.

I don't think there are many ugly women, some are less beautiful outwardly.
The most beautiful one I dated ended up divorcing twice and now has breast cancer, poor thing.
I married a solid plainer one, and she is hot, cooks like a chef, can tase a food and duplicate it first time almost exactly.

She liked wheat thins so she went to the kitchen and made exactly those, only they actually were better...

very amazing.

She will be good in a power down.
She is a genius at homemaking and scheduling and has an inner sense on how not to get into trouble.
and...
a great mother.

I was very blessed.

True for me.

Does anyone here believe that true love is not something you choose, but it chooses you?

I was once in love, and had no choice in the matter. Unfortunatley, I never had that courage to tell anyone how I felt. It actually has been bothering me recently.

In defense of good-looking women, I married one and we've been together for 17 years. OK, she thinks I'm crazy, but she's followed me and is far better in the garden than I could ever be.

She's Italian, so high maintenance, but she has an emotional quotient that would put my 155 IQ to shame.

God bless women of whatever style. We need them more than they need us, or we'll just end up fighting [smilie=hello2.gif]

I'm glad there are happy stories amongst the PO group.

My husband told me tonight that I am his rock. He's been pretty stressed at work lately, at a job that he no longer finds rewarding and the demands on him are greater than ever.

We stick together. The things that bring us joy are quite simple, really.

I think primarily there must be trust. You have to find someone you can trust not to make fun or poke at your weaknesses or faults. If you can find that and they can reciprocate that then there is the possibility of great love and understanding.

Its stupid to assume men are.... and women are.... Just like its stupid for my co-worker to say because I'm Libra I'm... when I make librans run and cry.

I also think you get what you ask for in life. If you are in it for the money, chances are you are going to attract that kind of person. Which makes me cringe and want to stay away from relationships right now cause damn.... you should see what I am attracting right now.... Damn! They got money, but man are they bastards!

Money Magazine
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hough the situation varies, a couple in a nondivorce usually remain living together under one roof, more like passionless roommates than spouses. There are no hard statistics, but some divorce experts say they're seeing more of this unromantic phenomenon, driven by three big financial factors: the high cost of legal fees in divorces, the expense of setting up two households and the difficulty in obtaining adequate health insurance, especially if one spouse has a pre-existing condition.

I can think of a few examples just like this.

Whoa! It must be tough out there. I have no idea what kind of person I'd attract, if I were single. To be honest, I've been approached by very few over all the years I've been married. Must be the body language!
