The less blunt way, assuming that the male in question has half of a brain, is to hit the book store and look into books. Or to talk about all of the new things that you want to try!

If a man feels like he isn't getting enough sex he's probably going to assume that the woman isn't open to new things. This generally isn't at all true, but most people try to deflect feelings of inadequacy... and a lot of men seem like they have sexual inadequacies that they try to hide/bury.

I was still quite young at the time so it's sheer speculation, but I strongly believe that much of the distress over having a working wife was that if she became capable of supporting herself...then she would be less tolerant of....abuses, cheating, neglect, etc. LOL! geeee....kinda sounds like today huh? What is so sad however, is that men have gotten smarter...but so many women still can't see the cycle.

The problem is that if you proclaim that you do not need someone, you must, essentially, say it like this:

"I don't need you."

No matter how you slice it, it comes across as offensive. It doesn't matter if it's quantified with "...but I want you", because by then the person you're talking to is no longer listening.

Men often acquiesce to women's terms because they're afraid
they'll lose the relationship.

Now that gay marriage is okee dokee

OP, you are describing PLAYERS.

You both need to talk get a check up and see if there is another option for you.

The particular life challenges and destined events that are the hallmark of being an old soul...

If you're an old soul you will undoubtedly be giving, caring loving and compassionate - all wonderful attributes that we are taught are the signs of a developed person who cares for others, and the actions that we take that may affect others.

What do you all tell your kids? I realize that there are many here who believe that marriage or marriage-like relationships are a good thing, but given your experience, is it really a good thing to endorse and bring your kids to believe?

I also and some other guys ran into prostitutes in here . Takes all kinds I guess . Why don't they screen them?

It's been called the Golden Penis Syndrome. GPS is the condition that most men are taught and grow up with which leads them to believe that their penis is worth far more than a woman's vagina. This syndrome extends beyond the genetalia to the whole being of the possessor of the penis making that creature believe that he is more valuable than any creature who is born with a vagina.

Because GPS is learned, most often from older males, men grow up believing that they are blessing any female that comes close to or even sees the GP. It's a lot like people who demand payment for admission to see the Blessed Prophet who has miraculously appeared in the rhododendron in their back yard. The person who wants access is being given something that is very valuable, according to the mythology, and therefore must be made to pay as much as possible for the aforementioned access.

Unfortunately for those who hold out too long for payment, the penis wilts and is no longer as valuable as it once was and, contrary to the misguided belief of the possessor of said marvelous commodity, cannot command as high a price as untarnished gold.

Women should be more emotionally stable than men since we are not allowed to show our emotions anywhere but at home. She can;t ever support you in your life. Get out quick man.

She has unimaginable outbursts that has an effect on all of us and she believes that no one has a right to tell her anything.

My thoughts are that it is imperative for us to understand the EVOLUTION OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN ATTITUDES THAT MALES AND FEMALES HAVE TOWARDS EACH ......and have been passed up from one generation to the next. Many of these "attitudes" from historical times still prevail to this day in the year 2008.

Men and women slander or demean each other with "phrases" that have been passed up from generation to generation to their children who eventually reach adulthood ........and who in turn repeat the "phrase" and the cycle which nurtures the attitude to prevail.

Now, my purpose in writing these "phrases" on this thread is most certainly not intended to "offend" or cause "anger & resentment" towards either gender or start a big war amoung the posters on this thread............so anyone who is overly sensitive, please keep your emotions in "check" or simply do not read. I will start with 2 slanders.........1 against a woman and 1 against a man.

"Women are only good for 3 things.........sex, making babies and bringing her man a beer."
=Translation to woman.........You hate me soo much that you would hold me "a hostage under the contract of marriage" to be a baby factory, whore and personal servant in return for food, shelter and a few scraps of clothing. The only thing you value about me is my vagina and the free labor that I provide in caring for you, me and our children.

"Men are as useless as teats on a bull"
=Translation to man............You have no appreciation for the hard work I do everyday to provide an income which supports/benefits me, you and our children. The fact that I am "a father" does not mean that I need to develop/acquire the skills necessary to ensure our childs personal development towards becoming a self-sufficient adult.............that is the woman's job and you should be thankful for the donation of my sperm.

These "attitudes" in the evolution of human behavior towards males and females are destructive and painful to the "male human spirit" and the "female human spirit."
It behooves us as a society to reflect on the damage-control that needs to occur to provide a healthier outlook and attitude towards males and females collectively.

I appreciate that women smell great, are usually clean and many have really, really nice bums.

The male of the species was designed to impregnate as many
women as possible in order to preserve the species from extinction.

That's only true for less desirable males. Across mammalian species,
males who have many choices usually reject all but the most attractive females.
