Women.. Yes, another thread about them.
I have to say, this is somewhat an offshoot of my other thread ‘The Systematic Degradation of Men’s Rights’. I must warn you that these are just my observations.. there is nothing absolute in the argument that follows.
Over the last hundred or so years, the world has changed considerable amount, and so have the relationships. The prevalent norms of wooing of women have turned into a sophisticated game, make one mistake and you are out. A lot more is expected of men now that they have to be romantic, understanding, care about women’s issues, touch the right buttons, approach in a gentle yet affective manner, should not act possessive, should not come on too strong and the list continues. However, with all their predefined notions of what works and what does not work, most women are too naive to know what they really want. They try to passionately follow the gender based model on what should turn them on, but do not know what actually should matter. Most men have adapted to the new rules of the game quite well, and do know what to tell the women and how to pull the act to get the * mission accomplished *. They pull the right strings, and the quality and quantity of what they get varied with their experience and skills. This often leads to troubled marriages when women expect the same level of emotionality and intimacy from the relationship, which men are not willing to put themselves up for because the mission was already accomplished.
There are many men who genuinely care for their women, but those are the honest men, who, for the sake of principles, appear harsh at times. Those men would love sincerely, but they are not the most charming of the men, women look for in the beginning of a relationship. I think the blame has to be shared by both men and women; women for having unrealistic expectations from a relationship, and men for faking those emotions. What do you guys think??
