if it wern't for women, we;d all be drunks, gamblers and all around reprobates. But hte upside is that ther'd be no tupperware parties. If a man is alone in the woods, and he says something, is he still wrong?
"Men haven't changed. It's women who've gotten pickier. "
Ditto that. If I go a couple months without hearing "You don't do enough", its because the wife has cashed the life insurance policy. I serious don't know that I will encourage my kids, my boys inparticualar, to get married. Maybe if they go overseas and bring some old fashion girl home.
Probably more to do with Hollywood chick-flicks.
The script says the guy not only must be a good provider, but be drop dead handsome as well as being sensitive, romantic, caring, giving and totally understanding. The only guys like that in real-life already have boyfriends. ;~))
Women can afford to be pickier because we don't "require" a man to support us, hold property for us, drive us around, etcetera. I don't see this as a bad thing. Some feminist types may turn it into a bad thing by carrying it too far, but it's still good. I got married at 23 which is not bad these days. If I'd had to get married at 18 to have someone to pay for my upkeep, I wouldn't have found my perfect match.
I disagree. I think that both sexes have a somewhat elevated and unrealistic standard for potential spouses. I know many plain men who think they merit a supermodel with a PhD who wants to scrub their toilets and raise their kids while simultaneously earning a six-figure income and screwing the socks off them every night. And I know some rather average women who think they deserve a Russell Crowe lookalike who has a law degree and makes six figures but has all the time in the world to romance them. Where do they get these ideas? I blame Hugh Hefner for the males' delusions but don't know who to blame for the females'.
