Thank you, we're trying and so is she. But they, meaning society as a whole, don't make it easy.

Maybe. And this would speak to the idea that too many women still live for how they seem, how they appear to men. Ha! If they only knew how much better off they'd be without us!

From a relationship perspective it all stems from the fact that the vast majority of women are all after the same small pool of guys. Where as guys will pretty much settle for anything and are much more open minded about who they date. It's as simple as that.

LOL I had a conversation with someone about this a while ago....My point was that women dont get dressed up for men...they get dressed to compete with other women while men get dressed to impress women as well. Too many times Ive met someone when I felt I looked a mess a just ran out for one quick thing. But the whole point in getting dressed up is to look better than the other females that will be where youre going. Its stupid but thats how it goes

If what you're saying is that there is a smaller pool of guys that want to get into a long term relationship, I'd agree that it is more natural for a woman to feel the need to domesticate. For a lot of women it seems to be not why or if but when should I marry and have children, whereas a lot of men run until the outcome becomes inevitable.

I don't know about that. Yeah a man can spread his seed with any woman but does he connect with her? Can he speak to her as if he was speaking to himself and be happy? I have only been able to find that in one woman. I have always thought the word intimacy has been misunderstood.

Yeah ive always said that men as a whole seem to be less picky then women

Maybe its because women from a young age are shown a close minded view of beauty that anyhting outside of those strict guidleines they dont feel is attractive

But it is though...attention from men......women would kill for attention...to be the it girl at the party, work or wherever!!!! LOL Even if they got a man they still want to be that girl who can have any guy...or the girl that all the guys want but cant have.

Its all about insecurities and attention!!!!!!!
