... yeah maybe some men are just afraid to call a woman because some woman may have treated them badly. In fact, Coey, men -- with ot without that sparkle -- are sometimes really nice creatures.

I've got one... Why are women prone to unbridled dramatics?  Ed |

"Say they are going to call and don't?
"make vows that mean absolutely diddly squat?
"think of themselves first and everyone else comes last (no pun intended)"Maybe it's you. Umm...let me rephrase that. Maybe it's YOUR CHOICE of men that's the problem. Let's be honest...women are not the best judges of character when it comes to guys. Y'all seem to cling to this fantasy -- a seed that's planted early -- that your handsome Prince Charming is out there just waiting to sweep you off your feet someday. You'll go after a guy on physical attraction alone and stay with him even when he treats you like garbage just to keep that fantasy alive. You make excuses for his behavior because you think you can mold and reshape him to fit your idea of "The Perfect Man." Men don't change. Sure, we'll sacrifice a certain amount of our identity (and dignity) to make you happy and keep things moving in the right direction, but when you push us too far, we snap back to who we are at our core and jump ship. It's different for every guy, but each of us has a breaking point. You can only bend and mold and shape so much before we get tired of it and move on. Ask any man on this board. My point is, if you keep finding yourself in the same situation -- on the same road time and time again -- maybe you're looking for the wrong things in men. The warning signs are there; you have to pay attention. Don't make excuses for someone who treats you badly. Cut and run. Life's too short to waste on people who don't deserve your affection...and way too long to try to go it alone. Guys understand guys, so here's some advice for you ladies... The "pretty boys" are accustomed to getting whatever they want; avoid them like the plague because your needs, your emotions and your happiness will always be an afterthought. To them, you're expendable. They don't feel any obligation to honor their commitments to you because there are plenty of women where you came from. Be realistic with your expectations and look for someone who makes you happy first and foremost...someone who understands, appreciates and reciprocates your love. He may not be as good-looking (or wealthy) as the other, but he'll treat you like a woman deserves to be treated. No man worth a damn would ever hurt you...and no woman with an ounce of self-respect would allow herself to be hurt over and over again.

Agreed, Beej. The blanket statements rendered here are totally unfair and not indicative of the "real men" that inhabit the Earth. Spewing generalities just because an alleged man hurt you is knee-jerking and dishonest.

I agree I was watching a show the other day where the wife says to the husband..............come on let's go buy a couch........and he says why do you need me? She says so you can help me pick it out......and he says you haven't picked a thing I chose since the day we were married. Its like I lost the ability to chose or have taste after I married you. I thought that was a great line. I wonder if women actually look at a man and say he's nice, I wouldn't mind talking/dating him or do they look at him and say.hmmmmmmmm after I change that shirt and get rid of that suit, get him a haircut, he might be all right. He's not some house you can decorate. If what he did was good enough to get you initially, then why you always looking to change him? I know I would never put my hands on a woman. I would never intentionally hurt a woman either. But the day I saw you I didn't go blind, deaf and dumb. ;D If this thing is going to work, there needs to be a meeting of the minds with equal say so in any matter. I know we somtimes are the most romantic poeple in the world and we may forget an important date now and then. But if we do the things that kkep the relationship strong and treat you with the respect and admiration you so richly deserve, I think that ought to count for something. |

((Beej)) I do agree with you -- but why don't you (guys) see the teasing in this thread. I don't think too many women will throw all men in the same pot. I alsoagree with the "pretty boys" statement, but would like to add that the most spoiled men seem to be the successful ones -- I mean professionals with money and a big car. Why? Because women almost always lose their eyesight for anything else if they see "cash" written all over a man. He may be as unsightly as Donald Trump, yet, he may get the prize. In addition, most women/girls appear not willing to start with a man from scratch. All has to be there, ready-made. After a big wedding, the big house has to wait for the newly weds ... At least that's the impression I've got from what I've heard and seen. So, you guys, don't you even think, women don't know where their weaknesses lie .... :laughing And to ((Aba)). Some men really do benefit from their wive's tastes. Even if it's only about the tie or the socks -- some improvement never hurts |
