I speak from experience as the person I was with for over seven years ended up stifling me by trying to change me and deny me the things I liked to do. It became a little prison with the warden trying to be in complete control. No way, not for me as I believe that with any good relationship you need to allow your SO to be their own person and to have their own interests and time to themselves.
This gets way off the original topic but please do not try to pidgeon hole all women into one category as it happens to us too!

I like the word 'generalising', as a comeback it's so ambiguous that it really doesn't say much at all...
I refuse to believe that its 50:50 in the women who do/don't try to change their partners. Also, not for one minute am i saying that it's always bad. For example, I'm convinced most women are far better organisers than most men and therefore will often try to change their partners to be more like them (good thing!). By the way, that's just an example.
I bet you anything their are guys reading this that will back me up, but just wont post it on here.
Minx, I'm sure you don't do it, and that's awesome, but the majority of women do, for better or worse. And as you said, there are many guy pulling the same line.
And yes, i do believe i have the right to state this opinion, as i have known/had relationships with/had close friends who had relationships with many women and i have seen this many more times than i haven't.
Thing is with this one, you can't see where i'm coming from and i'm not going see where you're coming from, age old stumbling block. One of those 'agree to disagree' things...
