My girlfriends are mostly early 20s to early 30s. There are a few on the 'nerd trend' train (which apparently means wearing thick glasses and watching 2 episodes of Doctor Who, but I digress), but for the most part we've always been into sci-fi or 'sciencey' stuff, especially engineering and flight, play a lot of video and board games etc.

Maybe I just know a weird group of women.

A man who wants to give back and does not forget where he came from and who helped him to get out of there.
A man who has enough sense to know when something ain't working and either switches it up or takes his ball and goes home.
I like this list - good job

Very true.

But some of us have ran into women who wanted to stay at home and eat donuts all day (first wife, oops)

They need an excuse for why they can't get dates.

Please stop.

are you satisfied now that you did your weekly PSA on behalf of the men on the board?

anyways, I was mocking what SO many of them say on here, on a regular basis about American women being no good and foreign women being better, etc. etc. or didn't you bother noticing that gets said a lot on here? probably not.

Oh, I have no doubts about that, I've come across a few here and there as well. What always surprises me is that men are often perfectly ok with the women wanting to stay home but when push comes to shove, they ***** and complain about it after the fact.

But, was that really her fault, or are you at fault for choosing her and marrying her? I blame myself fully for the stupid mistakes I've made with choosing to be with both of my exes. They were jerks, and I was mostly responsible for being with them, I could have and should have walked away. It's amazing how many red flags one will overlook when they think they're 'in love'.

I suppose. It seems the type of woman that demands a high salary wouldn't be the type of woman they want to be with anyway.
