Do you think society looks upon male desire, in any shape or form, unfavorably?
For example...
It's common for people to say to a guy in a relationship, "So...when are you going to propose?" or "You need to go ahead and marry that girl before it's too late!" But if I ever said to a woman, "So...are you keeping your man happy in the bedroom?" or "You better give up the goods before it's too late!" I would effectively become a social pariah.
I've heard women say aloud in mixed-gender groups that they want a tall man because it makes them feel "protected." But if a man said he wants a thin woman, he'd probably be lambasted for being superficial and expecting all women to look like supermodels.
depends who you hang around with. In a cosmopolitan area, people aren't pressuring when you gonna propose, if its a traditionalist ethnic enclave or Santorum type boondocks, more so

That's not true. You get those questions in New York.

Am I the only one who sees this?
Certainly not and anyone who says they don't see it either is lying or has their head jammed way too far up their ass.

How on earth are you equating those two? You cannot claim double standard because there is no unifying standard in that bizarre comparison.
Who cares? I'll never understand why people on here make such a big deal about double standards. Let's face it - there are just as many double standards for both women as there are for men. Who the hell cares? What does it matter what double standards exist? Live your life the best way that you see fit. Nothing else matters. The only way to get rid of double standards is to ignore them in the first place.
Maybe because it's considered bad taste to discuss the sex lives of others in public, but not to discuss relationships in general. Or would you consider that another double standard?

Ah yes, good ol' idealism. Sorry, not gonna happen. Double standards are alive and very much well. Not saying that it is a GOOD thing but that's the way it is.
