To me, this sounds like it was written by someone who is pretty jaded and can't get into good relationships.

Actually, and I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like someone observing someone else's relationship as an outsider watching both parties.

Exactly!!
BTW people, I've studied psychology for 20 years....people adapt concepts and strategies that they don't even know they are utilizing, or even need to focus on. How many of you had to actually *think* about driving after the 2nd, or 3rd year? Men have been their whole lives, and women have been women...things are intrinsic, innate, and engrained....what I observe is 100% accurate...a lot of this stuff is done on a secondary level of thought...most of this is done without knowing. It is natural.

That's true too! I am not the same person at 42 as I was at 23. My husband would agree that I am way more easy going than I was back in those early years. Age and wisdom play a factor too, for sure! You learn that you have to pick your battles. And most battles just aren't worth it. Life is a daily learning experience for everyone I think!

Not only that, but not eveyone handles one relationship the same way as they handled a previous one... it all depends on the situaiton, who you're dealing with, and what you've learned from your past experiences. I don't have all the answers but I do know that I've learned things and changed certain things so that mistakes don't keep repeating, and it's because I know that everyone is different that I've had to learn to just get over my bad self and do what's right for me and make the changed I feel I need to make. It's a constant learning process and growth process in relationships, whether you've been dating for 3 weeks or if you've been married to the person for 5 years, 10, 15...
StevePerryHair wrote:BTW....feelings changing throughout the day between love and hate (though too strong a word) are normal feelings that happen in all relationships and this happens to men and women equally. Especially in long term relationships and marriage. After the "honeymoon" phase has worn offit's normal to love your spouse so much it's exciting one day and maybe get irritated as hell the next. When you are with someone everyday, there are things that will remind you why you love and married them and things that just irritate you for the 100th time! That's just people! It's not easy to live with other people, day in and day out. Friends or spouses. Because we are all set in our ways and it's a compromise to keep things happy and get along. Its about working together. Coping skills. And mainly loving and caring enough for the person to work your hardest at it the times you do feel the negatives. Reminding yourself of the positives. No relationship is perfect. And no one sex is perfect or evil. People are people. You are really generalizing with this.

So, these are YOUR observations.
You have never observed a man consider a particular woman as someone he does not want to have sex with but realizes they connect in other ways that do not involve some kind of mating ritual? You have not observed a woman considering a man as nothing more then someone she wants to have sex with, and not thinking of the relationship any further then that? You have not observed men who have women hanging all over them and able to have sex with any he chooses to?
I think you are generalizing FAR too much and I still think you are injecting your own personal experiences into your 'observations'.
You are correct that people find their own way to deal with life and it becomes second nature and they do it naturally. However, I doubt very much that everybody finds the SAME way of handling relationship with the opposite sex. To argue against that is to argue that we are all the same and have no diversity of character or personality.

And, "manipulate them into wanting you"? Wtf? I have to hope you don't mean that the way it sounds.
But again, the generalizing thing... it might be that I'm taking some offense because personally, I'm nothing like what you described, I don't know, but that was pretty harsh. You make it sound like men MUST play and manipulate because women are all stupid and superficial.
Of course there are women (and men) who do those things that you said, but to appoach women in general this way... ugh! Personally, I have no interest in power, or getting things out of a guy, or being complimented left right and center (that actually makes me feel weird, when it's overboard like that). All I want, and if *I* may generalize, I would think it's what most people want, is to be treated with respect, and love, and honesty and without a bunch of horseshit games. And that's by anyone, not just in dating terms.

I've found it so interesting as I get older to see how obvious that is, how men can get pissed at each other or whoever, yet they don't STAY mad for long and get over it and don't hold grudges, whereas women can be the opposite and will stay mad and hold grudges for ALL ETERNITY
