"You can't change a man" is one of the oldest cliches in the book. Well, we just discovered some news that challenges that notion, and it comes from an unlikely source: animal trainers.

Yay, more incentive to stay single to avoid "training" from someone you looks at you like you need to be fixed.

Same applies to women as well. Bet that article would last all of 5 seconds with a reciprocal title before a sh*tstorm. But again, it's not "empowering".

Too much work. Too many men out there to even bother. They either get it or they don't.

What the man will probably get is that she should be happy with him the way he is, not one to be trained. If she wants to "train" him, he should give her a scratch behind the years, give her a can of Alpo, and get out.

I couldn't even read the article. Just the pic alone and the blurb seemed SO condescending toward men. You can bet that if someone wrote about "training" women, the feminists would be outraged and complaining. My goodness, they even compared men to training a dog! That's just wrong.

Well to be compared to dogs and horses does it for me. How cheeky the attitude we need to be "trained".

And women wonder why they get used for sex and kicked to the curb with this attitude.

Stuff happens all the time. It's ok, so long as it's something with a penis being bashed at the time in a mainly white male read reciprocal venue.

I'm far more "perturbed" by the self proclaimed "CD News Reporter" OP trying to give it validation as "news" here to be quite honest. Dating sites and cosmo magazines you tend to expect nothing better from.

Wow. I am surprised they didn't try to bestow the virtues of shock collars. I am so sorry, guys, that women fall for this BS. If you feel the need to "train" the guy you are with, you need to be with someone else IMO.

Not really a big surprise is it? Treat a man well, give him lots of love, more sex than he can handle and...he'll do pretty much anything you want. If that's being trained, bring it on honey!

On the other hand, treat a man like a chimp and things could turn out badly...
