There is nothing women hate more than men having better options.
True, and let's be clear about what better options means:
1. A future w/o a woman required since we're happy on our own and have other interests & hobbies that are meaningful;
2. Other women available.
At my age, both apply. Since #1 already exists, #2 is a "nice to have" and my GF of 4 years knows it. That means she has to work her ass off to keep me interested.
Ain't that the truth. See the immediate replies above for an example.
