Is this a reflection of how things really are? A generational thing?

Particularly that men are mainly attracted to looks, and women are demanding and want a tall, handsome man with money. It seems that many here see these as unchangeable rules. Also I notice quite a bit of male bashing recently...

^No kidding.

Seems like one day men are all no good cheaters. The next day us women are all golddiggers who don't really want to work and as soon as the wedding's over, we stop wanting sex and gain 50lbs overnight.

Usually the bashers of both genders tend to be those that have A. just divorced B. Just broken up with SO C. those that can't find a date for whatever reasons.

I tend to throw them in the bitter column and let them vent, we all get over it soone or later.

Oh young grasshopper....you surely have much to learn. Most important - do not use this forum for anything other than entertainment. Okay?

there are some unchangable rules, yeah. I enjoy watching the pathological contrarians beat their head against the wall in an effort to be different.

I've been divorced 20 years and in that time I have had 1 one year relationship back in year 18 or 19 - I'm not bitter - I just patiently wait - I would advise anyone else out there waiting to get some hobbies, additional friends or what ever it takes to continue to have a great life - We only go around once as far as we know -

To the OP. From my view on the world, there are some obvious trends. More men seem to be rejecting marriage, and fear getting owned by their future ex-wife and the court system. The male bashing going on is incredible, and that is a fact. If you don't believe me, just look at the advertising on TV. In many many ads, the woman is slim and attractive, and the man or men are heavy, plain, a duffuss, and weak. Just imagine the roles switched in those commercials and imagine what the reaction would be from the feminists. Many TV shows are the same. The men are pathetic losers.
