cybermike, I wasn't referring to you; I'm pretty much in agreement with what you've posted. While the OP's boyfriend's actions seem deliberately disrespectful, he may actually have no clue. I've met several men who come close to the attitude described, and they seem not to have any idea why a woman would/should be put off by it. Not that that justifies that kind of behavior, but this level of cluelessness is not unheard of, and sadly, not all that rare.
