In one of these articles someone commented that if they (the girl) ever offer to split the check, it means they don't want to date you. Like, not another date. I would agree with that.
This is a necro, but still, that is a load of crap.

I'm with hobnob.

According to this article men would like us to know that they want us to be happy but they're only happy if we leave them alone so they can spend time away from us.
No, it didn't. The article said that men need space, not that we need you to disappear 16 hours a day. Yes, we do want you to be happy, but if that happiness means spending all 168 hours of the week with us, prepare for some issues.

They certainly don't want to end up like their mates in apparently successful relationships because women can really ruin a man.
Success is for one person will not be success for another. Some guys do fall into an eternal cycle of "Yes, dear". A lot of guys I know, don't want that. In fact, none of the guys I know want that, myself included.

Trixie1968 wrote :
They can't open up to women emotionally but time spent with mates is an emotional necessity.
I would highly recommend going back and re-reading that part of the article. As it says, we do things. Do we sometimes talk about our issues, yes. Do we spend as much time on said issues as groups of women might, probably not.

They're apparently much more interested in our ability to cook and "be supportive" than they are in the achievements we might be proud of and whilst professional status isn't necessary, financial dependence on them is a no no (so you probably need a little pin money).
If that's what you read, I think your computer might have issues. We do care about your accomplisments, we might not jump for joy, but we do care. To clarify on the second issue, we would rather be with the decent person who works at McDonalds, then the cold, shallow, cruel women who's the CEO of a Fortune Five Hundred company.

Basically, if you have your own job (not counting housewife), but you still expect us to pay for everything, expect major issues.

The article also implies that men generally want more sex than women ~ if only this were true, I might not be single today!
No, it says that men want to talk about sex early, and they we're generally less concerned about our partners only wanting sex, then we are that they only want our wallets.

Trixie1968 wrote :
At least the article has the decency to state that men who subscribe to this nonsense actually feel "embarrassed" of themselves ~ so they should.
I didn't see anything in this article that any man should be embarrassed about.
