Your experiences, those of my daughter and her friends, and what I've seen posted, by some, on FR, just prove my points and the screaming need for adult " finishing/dating/wooing schools " ! I'd make millions. LOL

More basic than that, would be to get men and women to better understand what each other want (A task I'm going to have to deal with, with three daughters, and the oldest a teen)

From conversations with my male friends, many divorced, one big issue is trust and commitment. It's not necessary that a wife make lots of money. It's not necessary for her to be beautiful, or an excellent cook. It IS necessary for her to be trustable, because once the wedding ring is on her finger, she is in a unique position to destroy him, should she ever feel like it. An intelligent man would sooner put a rattlesnake in his bed, than a women who he thinks might shaft him the moment she becomes unhappy with him, decides his career is not going anywhere, or feels he's not doing enough to keep her happy

In post #127, sonserae mentioned her desire for "a man who will protect and pursue their love...and who will risk his life to do so". The counterpart of this level of devotion is a woman who would dedicate her life to her man. Why should a man be prepared to DIE for a woman who is not prepared to LIVE for him?

A high-quality product will only be delivered to someone who is willing to pay the required price.

It's all in the way a child ( boy OR girl ) is raised. There are good men and good women out there. There are also horrid, rotten examples in both sexes.

Marriage is 100 - 100 proposition and has to be worked at; 50-50 doesn't cut it. If each partner gives his/her all to the other, then one doesn't have to worry about his/her self. :-)

It's NOT so much about understanding a vague idea about what men / women want; it's about knowing what YOU want and setting goals. If the other person doesn't share the vast majority of ones goals / interests, then it just isn't going to work.
