I have been thinking about that because usually it's the man who has to initiate everything and do all the work in a relationship, usually it's the man who proposes, usually men are more affectionate, usually men are the ones who want sex more.... and usually it's the woman who breaks up or files for divorce. So because of that is it even possible for a woman to love a man as much as a man can love a woman? If you think I'm wrong could you give me some reasons as to why I'm wrong in thinking this, I would like to be proven wrong.

HAHAH...show me the proof that more women file for divorce than men!!!

The only thing I can think is somewhat true is that men initiate sex more (DEPENDING ON THE MALE)...but does sex=love? NO.

I'm a female and I am the one that has gotten my heart broken. When I have given everything I have to give, tried to be the best girl humanly possible and it still wasn't good enough. Now I am in a committed relationship where it is 50/50. We are both affectionate. We both initiate sex.

To me it just sounds like you are bitter over a bad break-up.

I could never be attracted to a passive guy who was too "shy" and didn't have enough courage to ask me out for a date. Maybe it's biology but my man must have healthy testosterone levels and be... manly. I am attracted to men who act like men, not like scared little girls.

I think wimpy guys end up with domineering women who like to wear the pants. That is fine I guess but it certainly wouldn't work for me.

Ok so in your oppinion the man has to initiate everything and do all the work in a relationship or else he is a wimp? I don't know about that, you do know that men would like to feel loved and appriciated as well? But hey I guess men who do want to feel loved and appriciated and doesn't want to initiate every single thing are wimps now. Thats ridicilous but I guess I have to get used to it.

I know, I really don't like it either because it opens you up for rejection and possible confrontations with boyfriends. Ok, I have a high self esteem, and I almost bench press 300lbs so I'm over it...lol

But my thing is this, with all these modern women leaving the duties of homemaking, and with more women going to collage then men, and with all these women now climbing the corporate ladder, well, why ain't these same women extending the aggressive go get it attitude with picking up guys and setting up dates (even paying for it) if it means so much in seeking upward mobility and independence for themselves?

Seriously, seems to me that women like the jump the fence on this issue because it's all based on CONVENIENCE.

On that note, this was a good little short video that talks about some of the things you just said.

It's not about quantity, but quality.
So how many girls in total asked you out?
