Sure, and it’s perfectly okay for a man to ask his girlfriend to drop twenty pounds and learn to use a lawnmower. s\

Sure they can change a man. From a happy go lucky human to a depressed beat down shell of his former self. Happens all the time. Most women want to change a man after the courtship is over and marriage has taken place.

Women would do better by raising their sons as good honest men.

“You can slowly introduce a skincare routine. After the 12-month mark you can start to develop an opinion on their hair cut, and after a few years you can take over buying their clothes completely.”

And then at five years, she can have an affair because “you’re just not the man I fell in love with”.

Not that I’m bitter or anything.

Not for the better.

She can make the man more bitter and resentful, less expressive, more volatile.

Not sure who said it first:

"A man marries a woman, hoping she will never change. A woman marries a man knowing she can."

Sure.

He can lose interest because she thinks she is making a better man than the one she met.

Changed man.

a man can change on his own, but for a girl to change him is asking for trouble

he may change on his own FOR a girl, but she cannot force him to

In marriages where a woman is unsuccessful at converting a man into a woman, you’ll see divorce. It is no longer acceptable for a man to act as he was intended to act. In the workplace it is illegal and will get him fired!

An adult can’t “change” another adult.I think it was Jack Nicholson,in one of his films,who said to a woman that he loved...”you make me want to be a better man”...or something like that.A woman that I care for can cause me to develop the same attitude.But nothing more.

She Couldn't Change Me By Montgomery Gentry

"She Couldn't Change Me"

"Sometime I think what turned her on
Was my old broke down boots
She wanted her a real cowboy
It was a phase she was goin' through

But not one week after she moved in
I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue
She brought home a bottle of pink Chablis
And poured out my best brew

I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
While she packed her things to leave
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me

She changed direction headed out west
Changed her tune to some hip-hop mess
Her dark brown hair went blonde
And her pretty blue eyes went green
She changed everything when she couldn't change me

She was sittin' beside the ocean
Looking out at the waves
Watching how they keep on rollin'
But always seem the same

She called and said she'd been thinkin' about
All those quiet country nights
And whatever she thought was so wrong with me
Suddenly seemed all right

I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
When her truck pulled into view
She said I changed my mind when I couldn't change you

She changed direction headed back home
She changed her tune it's all Haggard and Jones
She had her dark brown hair pulled back
And blue eyes like you've never seen
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me

She said I guess when you love someone you just gotta let it be
Yeah, she changed her mind when she couldn't change me."

I have been married to Mrs. Gamecock for 25 years and have to say I am a better human being for it.

Could she change my taste in music, clothes, food? No.

But I am more sensitive to the needs of others. She has added some grey to my back and white world.
