I found this very offensive and bordering on hate speech.

I loved my husband very much , and I loved his sexuality. He was the way he is for 30 years before I met him, and he is the same way 15 years after we divorced. I did not make him passive. It is his choice -- it is how he prefers to live his life. He has done a zillion years of counseling on other issues, with very admirable results. If he wanted to change this aspect of his personality he could easily have done so.

You insult him and you insult me.

sounds like they both wanted a gazebo but it wasn't their passion maybe. the thing ive noticed about many women is that they treat any kind of plan as a passion, to be taken care of the same day or the day after. reading this thread i am serious lacking in the initiative dept tho i have no problem taking the initiative for what i need in my daily life

Some people like the talking and considering more than the doing .

I have not noticed a gender connection -- actually I thought it was more the stereotype that men are the action people .

I have, though, learned that it is a question I should ask in early dating, when I am dating again -- if you talk about how much you would like to do something, does that mean you immediately make a plan about how and when to do it?

For me, for compatibility, the personal growth version of this is even more important: If you have an insight that you have some troublesome pattern, do you automatically set to changing it?

I dont undertsand why people care so much about the dynamics in other peoples relationships..its their business..I also dont understand why so many people think each gender has to have certain traits personality wise otherwise youre not a real man and blah blah blah

People are different just because youre of the same gender doent mean you are robots and exactly the same..

Some men are agressive and dominant some men are passive same with women..why do people want to box in others so badly and think all men should be this way and all women should act this way?

I met a couple who said were married for 53 years.

He said his success was keeping his mouth shut.

I would agree. What we say is only gunna fan the flames.
