Your right in a way...lol  But, just like women have certain ingrained traits, you just learn to compensate for these "flaws" and get on with your life. Peace.

For the same reasons women do, they are selfish and unwilling to do the real work of making a marriage work.\n\nThese are not male or female traits, selfish people come in both genders

Sometimes women like to get people to care about them. If you actually do things for them, they really appreciate it. If they don't you will have to let them know how you feel about it. You might say that men needs care too but women are more fragile in the sense that they're not as mature as some men even if I say so myself. Women is just hard to understand so you have to take time to get to know them better. That's just life.

Because the female mentality is to find the ideal mate that can provide security and protection.\n\nSome, not all, women view a man with money as the ideal mate, because they can provide the above subconcious desires. Also, it allows them to cater to their own material desires by having the money to dispose.\n\nIts a sad world, but don't generalize. Not all women think money is the most important thing.... but money is important.

I don't see why they would. Some guys still have issues about being the breadwinner but a modern woman with her own home wouldn't want one of them anyway. I think that to most guys it will be a positive. It's a sign of stability and maturity. To the rest is will be a non-issue for a while at least.

For the most part, women who are not looking to marry are the ones who have been there and done that. If you're willing to carry the extra baggage that goes with that...more power to ya!

Because women are never satisfied

I wouldnt say it was a man's responsibility, but it is traditional!\nPersonally I always have enough money to pay for both of us and will expect to pay for everything, especially on a first date.  I will try to refuse her paying for any part of it on the first date (I'm talking meals, cinema etc rather than flights somewhere - I'm not THAT rich!), unless she really insists on it.  As for more dates after I'd be happy to split the cost of stuff.  And if she wants to treat me thats great!

because they are taught by their mothers and 99% of women I know or have met are coniving, manipulative and/or deceitful.  Most are selfish as well.  Men aren't so trustworthy either though, now that I think about it...

not all women are like that, some women pay for themselves or at least offer, perhaps you are dating the wrong type of women.

Most of the time it has to do with the fact that they had a poor male role model growing up. Often going after the same type of man they know well in their life.  It is sad, but breakable, woman just have to want it to be different and realize when it is happening. They need to recognize the triggers and check themselves so they don't repeat poor choices in men.

Because they cannot mentally handle a relationship with a man who will be present in their daily life. It is a survival mechanism. Women who have been emotionally or physically abused in the past are often drawn to such unrealistic unions. They don't actually have to "deal" with the physical aspect of the relationship and  they don't have to financially depend on the incarcerated partner, two of the hardest aspects of married life. Think about it, if they choose a person who is unavailable in every way, then there is no pressure for them to perfom in the role as an actual spouse or partner.

Because some women are insecure, petty and shallow.  We should be helping each other out instead of trashing each other.

We women have this awful bloody problem that when things go wrong we automatically assume it's OUR fault or something WE did!!!!\n\nSome men don't like women who have an opinion or a voice!\n\nTo be honest maybe it's good that he has ended the relationship, he sounds like he may have more baggage than you know about. It shows commitment to meet someones family and if that's whats scared him off your better off without him, girl!

A couple theories here.Decades ago as unromantic as it sounds, women had more things to tie them to a marriage. Along with love, women usually weren't highly educated as they are today and most likely did not work out of the house. They were financially dependent on the husband.Also they had kids early in the marriage which solidified that bind even more. In todays society we are go-getters, we are educated, more often than not women are out there making the money and don't need the man to provide for them. WE also take responsibility for our reproduction and sexuality. We decide when we are ready to have a baby and don't just do it out of pressure to start a family. Also, women have more access to birth control methods that werent advertised decades ago.So sometimes we aren't as dependent on the man and have a desire to get out of the marriage and have the resources to actually do it. Also, marriages tend to last shorter because divorce has become more acceptable in our society. Not like decades before when you were looked at like scum if you had a divorce. Several reasons that marriages don't last. But there are always the ones that stand the test of time. I love my husband and would like to say our marriage will be the one that does last but in the society we live in today you just never ever know.

Mostly it is the way people are brought up that gives them the idea that a woman's place is in the home.  Psychology has a lot to do with that thought.  Everyone has different backgrounds and experiences in life that make them agree or disagree with that debate.  I as a woman dont feel that this statement is necessarily true and feel that a man has the same responsibility over the home as his wife does.  But like I said it all depends on how one was brought up and what ideas they developed on the issue.  For instance, my grandfather made the kids do everything in the house and would ask them to let my grandmother rest.  My mother then developed the idea that she should be a helpful housewife, unlike her mother.  My father, seeing that my mother did everything in the house, never lifted a finger in the house.  I grew up thinking how unfair that was of my father and believe that both should clean up around the house and look after the kids as well as both have the responsibility to work and pay the debts.  Thankfully my husband feels the same way!!!  LOL  We both make a mess, we should both pick it up!  We both spend money, we both should earn it!!
