wow......
Thank you all for your feed back.
I see most women here are the type that we (the guys) would call "one of the guys" and I'm happy to see that.
StanT - much props for making your comment. You sound really fed up with the situation you're in. Not sure if you've done this already, but do your wife know how you feel? Have you told her, in the exact words you used here, how you feel about what she may do for you?
From my personal experience, the first couple of years, I really had to set some ground work between me and my gf. I've spend so much time telling her, "Hey, I'm not really good with sugar-coding things." And so far it's worked; thus being together for 6 years.
Most have mentioned Communication.
From what I'm reading, how do you communicate with something that lacks, dare I say, rationality?
If women don't get women, and women themselves don't get themselves, how are we going to get the women?
I know how.....guys try this. Ask a simple question. Let them answer. Don't interrupt. Just listen. Let them say their part. Catch on to key words and focus on those key words. Ask more questions about those key words.
I also agree with most posts regarding women feeling they have to act a certain way due to society. But here's what's confusing me. Women ask for equality (which in my opinion is never possible, because men and women are never equal to each other. One will always be better at something that the other is not) but yet they want to be courted at the same time. What's the deal?
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE THE OPPISTE SEX. They are awesome creatures. I just want to get some things worked out. I thing this will make it a lot easier for everyone involved.
