There's been some threads about how hard guys have it on the dating scene and life in general. Women have all the power and special privilege and all that. I'm a father and I have 2 daughters both in their late 20s. Both mothers, one happily married and the other a single mother. I'm the well worn shoulder to cry on for them on a regular basis and if there's one thing I've learned ladies have a huge weight on their shoulders, just as much if not more than men.

They worry about everything form their hair to the future of my grandchildren. They strive like men do just in a different way, with a different set of priorities. A child is an incredible burden, attached to the mother literally for years. Even if a child has a father there's a bond between mothers and children men cannot duplicate. Women do the things they do for reasons be they good or bad for everyone involved. Some people are stupid regardless of sex, all people make mistakes and sometimes things don't work out as was planned.

So anyway ladies tell us guys what you fear in life, what worries you daily?

At the age of 52 I can tell everyone with certainty that it's never too late to stop learning and I sure as hell don't know everything and there's a lot of young guys out there need to know stuff like this.

Just as much as there is a bond between fathers and children that women cannot duplicate.

Only the misinformed, bitter, socially awkward, misogynistic guys say this.

Exactly.

If women had all the power and "all that", they would have nothing to fear or worry about in life.

Men can set boundaries any time they like. I do.

Mate DONT listen to the blokes on them threads please..... If they had a brain they would be dangerous , the only thing you will learn from reading them is that you should have watched telly instead or gone out!.

But I'd agree that's it's never too late to learn

CDR threads are not a good representation of reality.

What exactly makes you believe that women cannot set boundaries any time they like?
I've been a woman for 55 years now and I have set boundaries as I thought was necessary, a very good skill taught to me by my Mother when I was a child.
