I have noticed on this board (and in life) that a lot of women seem to expect too much from their men. This often leads to hurt feelings, arguments etc. I think some of this could be alleviated by us women remembering that men DO NOT think the same way we do.
Usually men say exactly what they mean. There are no hidden meanings or bad intentions. Women on the other hand often make statements with hidden meanings and then expect men to pick up on what that hidden meaning is. I think that we assume that men's minds work just like ours when that is just not the case. Men are SIMPLE (I don't mean that as in "stupid"). They don't spend time pondering things or making sure they are going to say something the "right" way. And it's unfair of us to expect them to think in a manner that isn't natural to them.
Ladies, take it easy on your men. Let them love you the way they know how and in a way that is natural and comfortable to them and love them back for it. This is just my opinion based on my experiences.

Well, I know what you mean. I don't mean to generalize, but women do expect too much in relationships which can be very complicated. I do think in intimate relationships, everything always has to go a woman's way, and not a man's which is kinda unfair.

The women who have the most success in relationships do not try to control or mold the men in their lives. They simply understand what motivates men: Easiness. A man will do anything for a woman who makes his life easy. If you like drama, expect problems and a complete lack of satisfaction. If you want something, just ask him broadside and point blank. He'll do it. Remind him ahead of time (but not too much so) about your birthday because he'll forget. Expecting him to remember is just asking for trouble.
Men are simple as dirt. Just make it easy for him and he'll be putty in your hands. Try to control him and you're probably barking up the wrong tree.

I mean that we often expect men to behave in a way that isn't natural for a lot of them. A lot of men do not remember special occasions, and are not sensitive to subtleties of conversation, and don't think about complimenting/snuggling/talking about feelings the way that women do.
Ok, but that can go both ways.
I agree. However it is usually not men complaining about the relationship (feeling like they are not getting what they think they NEED) it's women.

In my experiences, I rarely hear husbands complaining about their wives, once in a while, and usually with very good reason. But the women complaining about their husbands far outweigh the men - sometimes with good reason, but mostly for little stuff that really in my opinion is not worth it.

MLV, I wish I could give you more rep points for your last two posts above but I need to spread it around more first. You so sooooo right.
My wife would never withold the intimacy part because she also looks at it as punishing herself.
