Flowers would be nice!Hmm, well guys do you feel better after that vent?
Now you must send flowers to nikki and bw.
Come on guys, is it really such a problem that women might know what they want and tell you? I find it easy to believe that there are a lot of screwed up women out there, but is the problem really with women knowing their minds and wanting you to pay some attention to their needs? After centuries of men calling ALL the shots in what women did, I for one think it is a huge improvement for women to have a voice in things that affect them, from politics on down to the bedroom.
Some of you describe positive examples where you were happy with a situation -- say, a woman who wanted to have sex with you every day, or cooked your meals, or did whatever you wanted. Well, I can see all of those as great things IF THEY MADE THE WOMAN HAPPY TOO. But what if they didn't? Do you really want a woman to do things for you and not enjoy it? How much fun is daily sex with someone who doesn't want it? How much fun are meals cooked by someone who is unhappy? The truth is that good relationships come in many flavors, and the key is for BOTH participants to have their needs met as fully as possible. In the real world, this means compromising on some things. If the compromises are too much for one or the other person and both partners cannot be happy, then the relationship is doomed. We have all heard of marriages that went on and on and on "for the sake of the kids" or "because we have been together so long" or "because she can't make it without me" while in fact both parties were basically unhappy most of the time. That just sucks. What a waste of lives -- both of their lives -- to stay in such a relationship. If both partners cannot be happy, it is a failed relationship and the people in question would be better off if they freed each other to look for love elsewhere.
If you need a woman to cater to your every need in order for you to be happy, then you need to look for a woman who will enjoy that sort of thing. I am not that person, but I have no problem believing that there are plenty of women out there who would be truly happy in such a relationship. And that is just fine. What is not fine is whining about women in general being somehow warped in our society because they don't pay enough attention to the needs of men. Of course there are women out there who do not pay enough attention to the needs of their men -- just like there are plenty of men out there who do not pay enough attention to the needs of their women. It works both ways! The key is to find someone who feels the same way you do about both sex and the work of daily living. Chemistry is critical, but so is compatibility and outlook. Easier said than done, I know, but still.... don't waste your time on people that you can tell are not compatible with your basic personality.
And about women in general focussing on 5% of the guys out there.... well, as a woman i always felt like all the men were focusing on 5% of the women. Alas, I think it has always been that way. If anything is different in Europe, I think it is that they are more open about their sexuality there. The United States was founded by Puritans -- and that is still the mindset in much of our country. It is really too bad. I think organized religion in this country has a lot to answer for.
