He would ask if I wanted a coffee and I would say "yes, please" and then he'd stare at me. I never deviated from my usual, so there was no reason for him to think I wanted something special. At first it was really irritating, but then it became a running joke.
Are you that boring? You get the same drink each and every time? See, being that I'm such a dynamic and CONSIDERATE person I would always ask you what you wanted just in case you wanted to try something DIFFERENT. But no, in the eyes of a woman, I would be bad because I did not order your drink for you like a good little butler.

Yes, if there was one word I would use to describe you based on your posts - it's considerate. Tee hee! Sorry - I'm just so dumb and stupid - I hope I didn't offend you! Now - can you rub my feet and get me a drink?

Why does it have to be all about women? A relationshi* ( I mean, relationship) is union between 2 people but yet a man has to invest considerable more time and money in a woman's life just for her to stick around and prove that he's a 'good' man.

It so unfair that it's not even worth it to date or get married anymore. What exactly do men get out of dating when fundamentally they are reduced to servants.

Most people are referring to dogs or other animals when they use the word "female" anyway, just FYI.

Talking like this is probably WHY you aren't in a committed relationship - just sayin'.
I was going to mention this long time ago, but I didn't think it was worth it...

Whatever I am is working for me because I don't have problems getting dates.

Do you?

THAT'S what you got out of what I said? That it has to be "all about women"? Really?

Let's try to reword this and see if you can grasp it--a woman will be happier--and therefore feel and act nicer toward the man--if he notices details about her likes and dislikes and makes an effort to remember them. If he makes her feel as though she is special enough to him that he paid attention to what she says and what she likes.

That is not "being all about women". Not even close. As a matter of fact, there should be no reason to have to point out that she should be doing the same thing for him, of course, but that's not what the OP's story was about.

Let me guess, you're trying to pull shame tactics out of your hat (i.e you're single, you can't get laid, you live with your mom... bla bla bla).
