Men are different than women. We think differently, we behave differently, we enjoy different activities. But that's just not acceptable in this society. We all have to like, do and think the same way. And it's ruined the male/female dynamic.

Dude, it's common knowledge that over half of all marriages end in divorce. And the ones that haven't ended yet or on their way there. Why do I say that? Because the average marriage lasts 7.8 years. This info is from the U.S. Census Bureau.

That's bull. Individuals are different from other individuals. Some men love clothes and hate sports. Some women love cars and video games. Not everyone can be pigeonholed by gender, and that's not a bad thing.

And if you actually read the statistics, less than half of marriages end in divorce, which is, again, not a bad thing. People should take marriage seriously, but they shouldn't be forced into a bad situation merely because of appearances.

lol See what I mean? You just can't accept that men and women are different. Biologically, neurologically, inherently different.

Huh?
What activities?
I enjoy a nice beer or scotch while watching a good football game (or going and playing golf myself).
I think I can find about 8 trazillion guys who would say the same.
I love window shopping hot cars and high-end electronics. I like playing a pickup bball game (and I get serious with it) or grilling in the back yard.
I like pumping bullets out of my AR15 and going on weekend rides on my motorcycle.

You weren't speaking of biological differences, you're talking about social conditioning. Not the same thing.

I have no idea what you're talking about. What does this have to do with the OP? It sounds off-topic.

in short: let people be individuals
its common sense, people do not suddenly change just because they attach themselves to a SO.

people are individuals first, lovers second. you will and can never change this fact of life.

partners should compliment your life, not BE your life

It emphasizes why we need our own space to do our own thing. Mod cut: rude.

Off-topic ^^^.

Listen, OP. Most of the women I know well are very independent, including the married ones. They all travel for at least a couple of months a year on work-related business. So they basically check out of their marriages, and travel to other countries for business or conferences. And that's not counting vacation travel. Women need, and crave, alone time. They also typically need time to hang out with their friends. So I don't see that in these respects, they're any different than men.


It sounds like you had a hidden agenda rant behind your OP, since you're changing the subject. Maybe you should just start another thread. But by now it should be clear to you that you've grossly misunderstood women, and that you're wrong about your assumptions.


NEXT!
