One of the most pertinent questions a man can ask himself is, “What exactly do I want from women?” Once that has been answered, and it should not take long, the next question becomes: “What do women want from me?” That, alas, is far more complicated to discern.
The unfortunate reality is that while most men are clueless about what women want, many women also are confused concerning their desires. It’s commonly assumed that women, as a group, desire children and marriage but that simply is not the case anymore. In the last few years attention has been given to “the female player” and absurdities like “men who get used for sex,” which is as paradoxical as the phrase “the fork was exploited as a eating utensil.” Yet, silly as this mumbo jumbo is, it doesn’t stop the media from sensationalizing the topic, nor does it prevent many young women from following the lead of the press. The New York Timesrecently covered, in a celebratory tone, the phenomenon of girls eschewing commitment in exchange for short-term pleasures:
“Yes, they take pride in having thrown off the shackles of earlier generations of single women. They are not waiting on Friday night hoping ‘he’ will call. They make the first move. They happily see two or three guys simultaneously. Spontaneity is crucial, but even more is a good clean exit strategy from any guy who turns out to be Mr. Not Exactly…While men are obviously central to the ‘The Hookup Handbook’ ethos (do you want to hook up with a Metroman or a Himbo tonight?), boyfriends are most definitely not. ‘A relationship isn't the easiest thing to maintain, but swearing off boys isn't a viable option either,’ the chapter on ‘Defensive Non-Dating’ states...

Or Golden Retriever... ;~D
Mature? HAH!
Before I got married I dated a Japanese girl named
Miso Horny.
Don't tell my wife.
Same experience here. There's nothing like a beautiful Russian girl whose favorite food is bread and butter like she never had back in Siberia! Not to mention nice Taiwanese/Chinese/Vietnamese ...... etc
If we weren't so perfect, it'd be daunting. :')
Thanks, you put it more clearly than I was attempting to do.
Husbands and wives are supposed to be dependent upon one and other. They're a team.
Not like I would know personally, but my parents have been married for 25 years.
Agreed. My wife has the same education and makes as much money as I do. She's a fully-formed grown-up who lived her own life before she met me. She doesn't need me to take care of her. If she came to me asking for advice or a decision on every little thing, I'd jump out of a window.
Tangent alert.
Every time I see a post by you I do a double take, because the name 'LongElegantLegs' looks a lot like 'LongElephantLegs'!
Lucky guy.
Not much good husband material hanging around in bars. Try your local young republicans club, your church, or other place likely to have non embriated, wholesome, young men. Maybe a gun range?
As for myself, at 18 I don't think that head was smart enough to even be a liberal.
Would I do it all again? Uh...YES!!!....
*ducking*
Every woman who thinks she wants a sensitive man should spend a month with one. After that a real man would be refreshing.
I'd just declare the planet to be a "developing nation". Then they'd beg me to destroy the world! Problem solved!
Check out my profile. A Young Republicans club? I'd be better off being gay in the bible belt. DoyouknowwhattheydotoRepublicanshere?!!!
