The answer to all of these questions is : Most men don't apply to any of that. They are just excuses women make to make themselves feel better about being single. Rather than focusing the problem on themselves they conjure up absurd excuses for why men aren't interested in them. My favorite is fear of commitment. Evidence that it doesn't exist is the number of men in relationships right now.

Usually it's just a physical attraction thing. So women pick one of these excuses since they cannot admit to themselves that this guy is not really physically attracted.

Why are men affraid of something good comming into their life? They have trouble recognizing good when it is misspelled.
Why do men fear commitment? It’s a commitment to fear.
Why is it that almost everything has to be about competition and winning? What do I win if I get this one right? Come on I dare you to tell me.
Why are men not accepting of women with children? I have exception to many women and children; especially women who behave like children.
What is soo scary about wanting to settle down at a young age? Down is easy to settle if you leave the room after a rousing pillow fight.
Why do guys always need approval from their guy friends on most topics? I’ll get back to you on this one.
Why do men let their friends influence their decisions? Again, I’ll have to get back to you on this.
Why is that everytime a woman want's to have a serious talk about something, the male becomes sarcastic and avoids the conversation? Yeah… I am “totally” avoiding this. Right…
How is it logical for a male to go out all the time, but when the girl he is in a relationship with gets jealous he tells her theirs no reason, when she is never invited? Because 1 + 1 = 1.5 and you are the .5
Why is it that it's ok for a guy to have as many girl "friends" as he wants but it's not okay for a girl to have alot of male friends? They are OK as long as they are eunuchs.
Why do men run when they fear something? Self-preservation?
What is soooo hard about opening up? It involves talking.
Why is it wrong for a guy to talk about his feelings? No. It’s just that a guy’s feelings are always wrong (at least according to women.)
How is it that a girl is a slut if she's slept with ten guys but a guy is "master" if he sleeps with ten girls? A guy is only a semi-stud second class at ten partners. You can’t get to master level until you have at least 50 conquests (with video proof or written accolades.) If the 10 guys were all Bill Clinton, it doesn’t count since it wasn’t really sex.
Why does a man have to act like an ass to his woman when his friends are around? No guy needs that excuse. We act like an ass ALL the time (like right now.)
What is wrong with a woman wanting to look presentable when she goes out in public? Bill Clinton may be watching.
Why do men accuse woman of trying to "impress" another man when they feel like looking good for themselves? See previous answer.
Why do men fear the words "soul mate" ? Can’t… answer… pain… too… great… from… reading…
What is wrong with dressing up to go out for dinner? Nothing. What’s wrong with my favourite (i.e. greasy, torn, wornout) t-shirt and jeans?
Why do men lie to hide when they've been meeting other women even though the women their with already knows? No I haven’t. I’ve been home all day.
Why do men draw back in a relationship when other women become interested in them even though they say they really like the person they are with? Answering this is too much effort…


P.S. Just kidding...

WHoa thats a lot of questions.

I'm a youngin only 22 years old.

Most of those questions I can answer by saying none of them apply to me. I am open minded i do not run in fear I love dressing up to go out for dinner. I am not afraid to settle down with someone at a young age

For the lieing when the women knows he cheated, I've heard (I'm assuming from TV but can't remember for sure) that women need to hear it from the guys mouth even if they know he did it. Ussually having him tell you triggers the violence no matter how much eveidence the woman has.

aw geez, I know this thread was meant for men, but I'd like to say something.. I have been there and, when I decided to stop being bitter, I started attracting different types of guys.
I mostly felt like bringing up the one point about men being afraid of something good coming into their lives..well, tell me honestly, how many guys have you met that were awesome "but" you think of him as a "good friend" and reject him (turn him down, to put it mildly, but it all means the same thing) maybe, "he's just not that into you" like that book says. Just like you aren't "that into" some really awesome guys you meet..it happens to both sexes. Women make unfair double standards for men, men do for women and et cetera. You'll know when you meet someone who is above all that petty bullshit..well, when you finally get over it.

From my perspective, I will take this challenge and give my own personal view. I can not answer for other men; that is their own perogative.

Why do men fear commitment?
I do not fear commitment. However, it would be nice if the other person did not as well.

Why are men not accepting of women with children?
I have been with one such person, and I had accepted them as part of the package. To this day, she still holds a special place in my heart.

Why do guys always need approval from their guy friends on most topics?
I have very few guy friends, and I do not need approval on any subject from them.

Why does a man have to act like an ass to his woman when his friends are around?

I have never acted like an ass to my woman when my friends are around; she is my world, not them, and she should never be treated in this fashion.

Why do men draw back in a relationship when other women become interested in them even though they say they really like the person they are with?
I have never drawn back in a relationship due to this, as I cherish the relationship for what it is. To allow another woman to interfere indirectly would be an affront to me personally.

Just a guess here, probably the same reason women do it, to keep the other person around.

Why are men affraid of something good comming into their life?


If they also feel it is good, then they won't be afraid of it.


What is wrong with a woman wanting to look presentable when she goes out in public?


Personally I would expect nothing less.


Why are men not accepting of women with children?


Well I believe most want to find out what role does the father have in the childs life, and will there be confrontations.

Op are you looking and searching for a ceratin type of man, because not all men share the characteristics, of those you have been dating.
Maybe re-thinking or redefining what you are looking for might be a big help in seeking a relationship with some substance..

Also instead of asking the question "why do men", how about asking "why do SOME men", do the things they do.

Why are men affraid of something good comming into their life?
never been afraid of something good coming into my life...im more afraid of losing something good from my life

Why is it that almost everything has to be about competition and winning?
It's our nature. Everything we do is a competition, because as a woman, do you really want a sissy that doesn't win at anything?

Why are men not accepting of women with children?
I guess it would be because they don't want to be put second after a child. Some are just greedy i guess.

Why do men let their friends influence their decisions?
Same reason as women do i guess. if it goes bad, we have to put up with our friends laughing at us?

Why is it that it's ok for a guy to have as many girl "friends" as he wants but it's not okay for a girl to have alot of male friends?
Guys like that are so insecure in their relationships, they feel that any one of those guy friends might steal you away

Why do men run when they fear something?
its easier than admiting your scared

What is soooo hard about opening up?
Society has dictated over time that this just isnt what guys do

Why is it wrong for a guy to talk about his feelings?
See Above.

How is it that a girl is a slut if she's slept with ten guys but a guy is "master" if he sleeps with ten girls?
Again, society.

Why does a man have to act like an ass to his woman when his friends are around?
The guy is trying to impress his friends, in cases like this just take him aside and tell him ya dont appreciate it. if that doesnt work then inform him that if he doesnt change he can be an ass without a girl.

What is wrong with a woman wanting to look presentable when she goes out in public?
Absolutally nothing
Why do men accuse woman of trying to "impress" another man when they feel like looking good for themselves?
they are insecure in their relationship

Why do men fear the words "soul mate" ?
soul mate is the word that generally leads to marriage, and that means the end of any possible single life

What is wrong with dressing up to go out for dinner?
Risk of staining expensive clothes, plus if a guy doesnt dress up all that often we will feel slightly uncomfortable

Why do men lie to hide when they've been meeting other women even though the women their with already knows?
fear of having to deal with a jelous girlfriend....never a fun prospect.

I would like to take the time to thank all of you for your responses. I know that not all men are like this. Like I said it's more based on my own experiences.

I guess that this weekend will determine where this will go with the guy I'm seeing because I'm going to open up to him since he won't open up to me. I know that the fact that I have a child scares him and I'm going to let him no that I don't expect him to jump in and be a role model for him right away, because that is a decision he will have to make when he is comfortable with it. I believe that right now we are seeing each other to determine if things will work out between us. I like him alot and I appreciate the time he takes to do things with me. I am sceptical about being with someone from a dating site because the temptation is always there for them to see what else is out there and possibly go for it. I think that if I show him that I trust him enough to be open with him that maybe he'll open up to me.

These questions are ones that I've been wondering about for a while because of past relationships.

And the one question "why do men run when they fear something" it is ment more towards a relationship because I have had guys run away when they felt they were becomming attached to me.

A good answer for sweet blue eyes, all the above, toss that out. Simple, not all guys are like that. Maybe you are attracted to the wrong types of guys or they to you. There are great guys out there. Maybe you have to look elsewhere.

I am only one man, and contrary to popular belief, we dont have a "secret mens society" (if there really is, could someone please find out why I wasnt invited? thank you)...so I will only answer for myself:

Why are men affraid of something good comming into their life? I'm not, I like good things, its better then bad things

Why do men fear commitment? I don't, I commit to different things almost every day

Why is it that almost everything has to be about competition and winning? Its not, but some people seem to think that it is. I really dont care, If someone is better then me at something, good for them.
Why are men not accepting of women with children? I am..in fact, I have dated several women with kids, and have always liked taking the kids and thier mother to places meant for kids (gives me a good excuse to go there)

What is soo scary about wanting to settle down at a young age? Wasnt for me, I actually wanted to marry my HS sweetheart, bought the ring and all...then she left...eventually I moved on

Why do guys always need approval from their guy friends on most topics? I never need approval on any topic, I may ask for opinions and suggestions, but in the end, I wil do what I think is right

Why do men let their friends influence their decisions? I dont, but I will listen to thier point of view, in case they see something I dont

Why is that everytime a woman want's to have a serious talk about something, the male becomes sarcastic and avoids the conversation? I often prefer a serious conversation to sarcasm and would welcome the chance to have one

How is it logical for a male to go out all the time, but when the girl he is in a relationship with gets jealous he tells her theirs no reason, when she is never invited? since when does logic come into play concerning matters of the heart?

Why is it that it's ok for a guy to have as many girl "friends" as he wants but it's not okay for a girl to have alot of male friends? I never said it was not OK for a woman to have male friends

Why do men run when they fear something? as someone else already said, to avoid being eaten....damn bears are fast though

What is soooo hard about opening up? opening up what? the front door? a jar?
Why is it wrong for a guy to talk about his feelings? it isnt wrong, but society has taught us since birth not to, and we do as we are told

How is it that a girl is a slut if she's slept with ten guys but a guy is "master" if he sleeps with ten girls? I call some guys "man-whores", so it goes both ways...this question simply doesnt apply

Why does a man have to act like an ass to his woman when his friends are around? I dont. In fact, I have on a few occasions made other guys mad when thier GF's brought up why they didnt get treated as well as mine did.
What is wrong with a woman wanting to look presentable when she goes out in public? Nothing
Why do men accuse woman of trying to "impress" another man when they feel like looking good for themselves? I dont, instead I compliment her and am proud of the fact that I am with her.
Why do men fear the words "soul mate" ? I dont like soul food...not sure what kind of mate that would be? some kind of beef?

What is wrong with dressing up to go out for dinner? Nothing

Why do men lie to hide when they've been meeting other women even though the women their with already knows? I dont "meet" other women when I'm in a relationship, therefore no need to lie about it.

Why do men draw back in a relationship when other women become interested in them even though they say they really like the person they are with? this question just confuses me..I honestly dont know what you are asking here.

Now, may I ask you a question? Why do you think, especially at your young age, that you have enough experience with men to say that I would do these things? Believe me, not all men are like that, and once you grow up some, and the men you see grow up, then you will realize this.

I hate stereotypeing people. As Dee Snyder sang it "I am, I'm me"....and thats all there is too it.

Why are men afraid of something good coming into their life?

We probably don't actually see how "good" it may be, and are just afraid of the change that it brings.


Why do men fear commitment?

The thought of being tied down and not being able to "play" anymore.


Why is it that almost everything has to be about competition and winning?

It's in our nature. Our manhood is always being tested, losing suggests vulnerability.


Why are men not accepting of women with children?

It kids take away from "play time." We're also competing with the child for attention: a competition that we won't win.


What is so scary about wanting to settle down at a young age?

This is the same question as the commitment question. The same answer applies.


Why do guys always need approval from their guy friends on most topics?

The same reason that girls need approval from their girl friends. You want a second opinion from a [relatively] neutral party. And there's power in agreement.


Why do men let their friends influence their decisions?

This is basically the same question as the "approval from guy friends" question.


Why is that every time a woman wants to have a serious talk about something, the male becomes sarcastic and avoids the conversation?

I just don't think this is true unless it's a relationship problem where the guy is obviously the cause of the problem.


How is it logical for a male to go out all the time, but when the girl he is in a relationship with gets jealous he tells her theirs no reason, when she is never invited?

We just don't want to feel tied down and obligated to cater to your needs all the time. Girls have girls night out. Guys have guys night out. If jealousy is an issue, then something needs to be said.


Why is it that it's ok for a guy to have as many girl "friends" as he wants but it's not okay for a girl to have a lot of male friends?

The same reason that it's ok for a guy to have a lot of sex but it's not ok for a girl to have a lot of sex. It's a double standard. Moreover, it's just a harder accomplishment for a guy. It's like getting praise for overcoming the odds.


Why do men run when they fear something?

Human nature. Women do it too.


What is so hard about opening up?

It shows vulnerability. Men aren't supposed to be vulnerable.


Why is it wrong for a guy to talk about his feelings?

This is the same question as the "opening up" one


How is it that a girl is a slut if she's slept with ten guys but a guy is "master" if he sleeps with ten girls?

Revert to my answer in regards to the "male and female friends" question


Why does a man have to act like an ass to his woman when his friends are around?

To show that he's not "whipped," hence showing that he's not vulnerable.


What is wrong with a woman wanting to look presentable when she goes out in public?

Nothing is wrong with it. Taking 2-3 hours to do so is when we start to complain.


Why do men accuse woman of trying to "impress" another man when they feel like looking good for themselves?

This is complete nonsense.


Why do men fear the words "soul mate" ?

Soul Mate = commitment. Read the commitment reply.


What is wrong with dressing up to go out for dinner?

Nothing.


Why do men lie to hide when they've been meeting other women even though the women their with already knows?

To avoid being interrogated, as well as possible drama.


Why do men draw back in a relationship when other women become interested in them even though they say they really like the person they are with?

Probably just to leave the door open to see if these "other women" make for potentially better companions than the woman that they are with.

1. it's not a question of something good, how do we know if it's good because some one else says so? 2. maybe "Some" of us don't want commitment. 3. I think winning and competing is a ywo way street, normally the other person makes it that way. 4 Can't "Some" men want a woman does not have kids like himself? 5. If you are not ready you are not ready. 6. This question only pertains to guys who lives in groups, since I am a loner this does not apply. 7. this is the same as the other question. 8. Maybe the "male" wants his space. 9. well this is abother question that shouldn't be asked because both genders are guilty of this. 10. "Some" men are cowards, "some men are not" 11. Open up to be trampled on? get real lady. 12. Nothing wrong if the "other" person shut up and let him speak. 13. The age old double standard question, that "all" men get threw in their faces but nobody wants to answer the double standards they have. 14. Because "his" woman likes a$#holes the "nice" guy is boring right? 15. You mean " presentable" as in letting your butt hang out and cleavage push in everyone faces so that uncontrollable ego be fed that not only one man should have your attention but every man in your vacinity( the most original question yet). 16. Okay, you want a "gullable" guy too, right? just date someone blind then. 17. Because it's not true and only in "chick flicks" soulmate is being that is imagined in someone elses head in god like status that a normal man can not live up to, moreover soulmate is supposed to be "perfect". 18. Maybe some people are laid back, not everybody feels comfortable in dress clothes. 19. who's fault it is that the "woman" is with a man who goes to meet other woman? Oh yeah it's the man's fault right? he has the gun to her head. 20. Oh Yeah "men" back out in relationships because we are "all" so handsome, rich, and irresistable and have scores of women after us "all". Please come back down to earth sweetheart the oxygen is a little better on earth. oh and you need a beer.

I'll take a stab at some of these....

Why are men afraid of someting good coming into their lives? WE AREN'T
Why do men fear committment? WE DONT, WE ARE JUST SMART ENOUGH NOT TO HITCH OUR WAGON TO SOMETHING BAD. WE WOULD RATHER WAIT TO COMMITT TO SOMEONE GOOD.
Why are men not accepting of women with children? THE SAME REASON A SINGLE WOMAN WITHOUT CHILDREN WOULD RATHER DATE A MAN WITHOUT CHILDREN.
Why do men run when they fear something? WE DON"T, WE ARE JUST SMART ENOUGH NOT TO PLAY A GAME WHERE THE GAME IS STACKED AGAINST US INTENTIONALLY.
What is so hard about opening up? BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT OPENING UP JUST GIVES THE WOMAN AMMUNITION TO HOLD SOMETHING AGAINST US FOR ANOTHER TIME.
Why is it that everytime a woman wants to have a serious talk, the man get sarcastic and avoids it alltogether? BECAUSE A SERIOUS TALK IS NOT A SERIOUS TALK, IT"S JUST THE WOMANS OPPORTUNITY TO B*TCH AND MOAN AND ATTACK US.
Why do men fear the words "soul mate" ? WE AREN"T AFRAID, WE JUST DON"T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY IT.

Not afraid
Have to be SURE than no problem commiting, but sure takes a while
Everything does NOT have to be, sign of immaturity,imo
I could accept a woman with a child, maybe most don't since having kids means having some baggage that not all guys wish to deal with, men are simple, you know
I'd rather not settle 'till i'm at leats 45
I don't look for approval from my buds, sometimes ask their advice, though
PEOPLE let friends influence their decisions, it's a human thing-deal with it
Maybe he does'nt feel like being serious.Just lousy timing.Me i like having serious discussions, then when they're done, gettin' juiced up-j/k
Maybe he's hangin' out with his buds-guys nites!Don't you ever go out with your girls?
Stupid double standard
wimps run when they are afraid-not men
For me to open up to a woman, ahe has to have shown me that she is a special person in my eyes, that's why my profile is so whatever-there is a hand of fate that is manipulating each of our lives, think it's flaky?veryone's got their own opinion
Nothing wrong with a guy talking about his feelings
Again, stupid double standard
I don't.Always as nice a spossible to women, unless i feel she is playing some stupid head games then i get REAL aloof and conceited,actually
Nothing
I don't
I would love to find a soul mate-a woman who sees where i'm coming from-a realtionship which is well balanced could go on & on about characteristics that i would want in a soul mate
I like dressing nice to go out for dinner
N/A to me.I am very honest, sometimes to a fault
I don't

Why do men lie to hide when they've been meeting other women even though the women their with already knows?


cause they are scared and dont want to hurt the woman there could be innocent reasons for them meeting up with someone else

I'll answer 2 of those

Why do men fear commitment?
-they'r eonly afraid of commitment when they're not ready to be tied down yet. The older we get, the more mature we are and willing to invest into a realtionship.


Why is it that almost everything has to be about competition and winning?

Those are all questions women should be asking themselves. You seem to blame others (men in general) for making you unhappy it might just be you need a mirror sweetie! Men are not afraid of any of those things but theres a lot of gold digging going on out there!

OP asked:

Why is it wrong for a guy to talk about his feelings?

This is the only question where I agree with the assumption behind the question. We can indulge once in awhile but generally we do not want to dwell on "feelings." Good feelings come about naturally as the result of good actions taken, based on clear thinking. Most people reverse the order of this sequence by wallowing in their feelings. They then act and finally decide to think about it later.

Why are men affraid of something good comming into their life? - People in general fear change.

Why do men fear commitment? - See above.

Why is it that almost everything has to be about competition and winning? - men are taught to be competitive. I think its a male culture thing.

Why are men not accepting of women with children? - Some are, some aren't.

What is soo scary about wanting to settle down at a young age? - Not scary for me. But some people want to experience some things in their lives before they settle down. Its not a bad idea.

Why do guys always need approval from their guy friends on most topics? - Not all guys need this. It sounds to me like guys with a weak character.

Why do men let their friends influence their decisions? - See above.

Why is that everytime a woman want's to have a serious talk about something, the male becomes sarcastic and avoids the conversation? - This does not happen everytime. It also does not happen with every male. The reasons why some men would do it, probably include all the same reasons that some females would do it.

How is it logical for a male to go out all the time, but when the girl he is in a relationship with gets jealous he tells her theirs no reason, when she is never invited? - Its not logical for this to happen often. I can see it happening occasionally if a guy wants to keep a bit of space because of his personality.

Why is it that it's ok for a guy to have as many girl "friends" as he wants but it's not okay for a girl to have alot of male friends? - Because the guy is a jealous prick.

Why do men run when they fear something? - Weak men and women both do this.

What is soooo hard about opening up? - I have no idea... I never had a problem with it. Perhaps some guys fear that it looks weak to open up.

Why is it wrong for a guy to talk about his feelings? - See above.

How is it that a girl is a slut if she's slept with ten guys but a guy is "master" if he sleeps with ten girls? - Its a stupid, nonsensical, double-standard.

Why does a man have to act like an ass to his woman when his friends are around? - Not all men do it. Not all women do it. For those that do, it's because they are jerks.

What is wrong with a woman wanting to look presentable when she goes out in public? - Nothing. Feel free.

Why do men accuse woman of trying to "impress" another man when they feel like looking good for themselves? - Not all men do it. Not all women do it. For those that do, it's because they are jerks.

Why do men fear the words "soul mate" ? - Commitment. Change. Etc...

What is wrong with dressing up to go out for dinner? - Nothing. Feel free.

Why do men lie to hide when they've been meeting other women even though the women their with already knows? - Because some men understand that women will try to find out 'why' they lied, and use this... better enabling the man to control the woman.

Why do men draw back in a relationship when other women become interested in them even though they say they really like the person they are with? - Because some men like to keep women confused to control them.

Why are men affraid of something good comming into their life?

They arnt, some fear change, but any sane person wants something better to come into their life.



Why do men fear commitment?

they dont, at least not all it depends on the person..what age are we talkign about here, and what goals do they have? how many people do they want to screw before settleing down? I personally only want to commit to one person, so certainly not all guys are this way.



Why is it that almost everything has to be about competition and winning?

i dotn know, i notice a majority of men liek competition, its pretty childish, i suppsoe i could actually blame the system, governement, media, television and any other kind of programming a person recieves immediatly after they leave the womb.
The system has raised our children for us, blame them, blame canada, i dont know, but that competitive edge seems to make a man feel he can survive and boost his ego.
I think it comes down to a lack of respect for others. i dont get it personally,just like sports, i never got sittign there watching other play a game,...or having a favorite team,..or even knowing all the players names...
want to talk abotu competition? my team is better than yours?




Why are men not accepting of women with children?

a few reasons, and i can personally relate to both. One, the children will always be OVER the man in some way, which is perfectly understandable, yet that doesnt mean a guy will like that, two, that means an EX will always be inthe picture, ..and being down that road as well i can say its bad news, and is some kind of a threat, to have an ex in the picture presents a nagging sore that will eventually lead to an unrecoverable wound for some.




What is soo scary about wanting to settle down at a young age?

I feel its because people are programmed tobelieve there is so much to see and do at a young age. i feel the media itself has programmed an invisible deadline into most poor humans that are suseptable to all the external stimuli presented by various forms of programming.






Why do guys always need approval from their guy friends on most topics?

Acceptance, confirmation. unsure of what the best action would be, they sometimes perhaps need someone else to justify a potential decision they might make.
Some guys dont rely on anyone for anything, I pride myself on being isolated from most, and nearly 100% independant of needing others, im sure there are many guys out there who dont need to ask a friend for any advice






Why do men let their friends influence their decisions?

Some do, some dont, people have power over people, friends have much actually. call it Adult peer pressure lol or just trusting a friends advice.






Why is that everytime a woman want's to have a serious talk about something, the male becomes sarcastic and avoids the conversation?

Honeslty, i dont even knwo how to answer this question i cannto relate to it, as soon as the one im with opens up her mouth to say something my ears are there. But if there are people out there who do avoid the topic brought about, i can only imagine they dont want to deal with the situation....ever.





How is it logical for a male to go out all the time, but when the girl he is in a relationship with gets jealous he tells her theirs no reason, when she is never invited?

Selfishness maybe? i personally feel she should have every right to get jealous of somethign like that.





Why is it that it's ok for a guy to have as many girl "friends" as he wants but it's not okay for a girl to have alot of male friends?
Why do men run when they fear something?

um..its not ok, unless somehow, in someway ,,..the girl doenst mind. I think if one gives them up..the other should too. Personaly i feel each situation is different and this question cant realyl be generalized due to the fact that i have encountered many couples who actually didnt mind eithers friends.....something i myself cant comprehend, or tolerate...



What is soooo hard about opening up?

its not, unless your just so damn macho or homophobic that you have soem kind of barrier that wont let you by. Maybe the guy did once..and was burned bad..defensive mechanisim maybe? Well in anycase it shouldnt be hard to open up if you love someone, you should be happy to know you have someone you can open up to!, just my thoughts.



Why is it wrong for a guy to talk about his feelings?


never had a problem there, but i know what you mean, talkign to a couple buddies of mine they are like that, ..one of them just doesnt open up becuae he feels nothign lasts anymore...seems o me hes dooming it from the start with that mentality. the other is just too tough to let his guard down for one second...laughable



How is it that a girl is a slut if she's slept with ten guys but a guy is "master" if he sleeps with ten girls?


hmm can i go back to the media, TV, music..this has become accepted, why? because repsect and morals in some way are less strict for men. Disturbing i know. but once again ..dont get be started on a male dominated world. Its got its +'s and its -'s.
(i only did that cause i didnt want to spell out pluses and negatives)



Why does a man have to act like an ass to his woman when his friends are around?

some do, some dont yeah, but i seen it.
makes you wonder who he is being himself to,..the friends, or his girl...



What is wrong with a woman wanting to look presentable when she goes out in public?

Nothign worng with it, we all shoudl look presentable and certainly care for our apprearance with respectable reasoning. Control freaks?



Why do men accuse woman of trying to "impress" another man when they feel like looking good for themselves?


there is a fine line there, and the question is, what is she wearing...what is she showing off? why doe she need to show it off?

lets jsut say some clothes are best used in the bedroom ;-)



Why do men fear the words "soul mate" ?


Easy.
when a girl uses it, it surely means shes serious....maybe the guy isnt as sure as she is LOL



What is wrong with dressing up to go out for dinner?


omg, nothing,..you have had a situation there?



Why do men lie to hide when they've been meeting other women even though the women their with already knows?


maybe they feel she is perpetually bluffing and if they keep going with the lie they will eventually win.



Why do men draw back in a relationship when other women become interested in them even though they say they really like the person they are with?


did you think of these questions on the spot?
