It's one of those phrases that sound witty and wise, but is really a prescription for disaster.

Of course which is why those rich 60 year old celebrities who marry a 21 yr model are morons IMO. If they are going to use fame and fortune to bag a youthful model, better to buy them as a hired hand rather than marry them.

If I were 60 yrs old and super rich and wanting 20 something year old female company, I'd use my money to get a high end escort rather than marry one.

Yep. As the old joke goes, "I'm not paying you for sex. I'm paying you to go home after sex."

See the first icon underneath the name? That designates male or female. The male icon has a rounder head and a lighter green shirt, kind of like what Charlie Brown would look like as a CPA. The female icon has longer, wavy hair and a dark green shirt.

My profile is private because some unstable, 23-year-old obsessive-compulsive police academy reject who lives in his parents' basement and has a penchant for proxies likes to create C-D accounts to stalk me.

Your question is...?

Because I can give you several good reasons for it, all stemming from two things: The way boys are still raised with a sense of entitlement that girls are not, and the way this entitlement tends to lead men to take women for granted once they know a woman is devoted to them.

In short, if a woman loves you 75%, she's most likely not going to cheat on you. If a man loves you 75%, he's giving that other 25% to someone else.

And now I am donning my asbestos suit for the flames that are sure to come my way, but that's the truth as I've seen it.

I'll add an asbestos hat, too, because I'm not so sure any relationship is even-steven, at least not all the time.
Makes no sense at all. You're saying that a man would give up a 75% relationship for a 25% one? That's like saying you'd risk losing a BMW just to win a bicycle.

I don't fully agree with it. I think men and women have different "roles" when it comes to relationships. Women want to be loved and treasured, Men I think want to feel like they have a treasure. If that makes sense.

I think Men might express their love and show their love more than women. Women might not show that as much.

But if the woman actually didn't care as much about the man and didn't feel as strongly about the man as the man cared and feeled about the woman, it will probably be doomed to fail. Why would a woman want to waste her life with a man she don't really love? Why would a man want to marry a woman that doesn't really love him?

Because it is better than being alone. Period. Emotionally and financially.
