I know the point you are making, but when it comes to TV shows, they have to add conflict and drama to keep viewers interested. A lot of that nitpicking may be scripted. Why can’t they make the man be the whiny nitpicker some of the time? I guess they play to the stereotypes.
Stereotypes exist for a reason. They could not pull it off unless there were large numbers of young women who are essentially bent that way.
Bridezilla behavior at weddings tells me I am not wrong.
Because he'd be married to another man.
