		<description>Not all men are the same, but now that I am divorcing my husband of 17 years, this is my response to the 16 statements made by Kavan.
I am responding to the statements with my future EX in mind….

1. I wanted to have sex with him…ached for him, in fact…until he shut Me out after the birth of our son. He rejected me emotionally, and left me to deal with sever depression on my own.
2. I didn’t stop having sex with him. I did, however go thru the motions and “submit” to him, because he would throw a tantrum like a child if I didn’t…
3. I did gain some weight after two children…but he put on 30 pounds as well.
4. I never stopped wanting to go out and have fun….He stopped being fun to go out with.
5. I have NEVER thrown out anything of his….
6. I don’t ignore him to spend time with the kids. I ignore him because he is an asshole.
7. I DO love the kids more than him…because they love me in return no matter what, and don’t have expectations that I can’t possibly live up to.
8. When I was depressed, I did stop getting dressed up. I even stopped wearing makeup to work…I could barely get out of bed. It wasn’t about HIM.
9. I became withdrawn and quiet. 
10. I stopped wearing makeup, but always keep myself clean in all areas, if you know what I mean…
HE was the one who decided it was OK to stop brushing his teeth at night, not wash his privates, then expect ME to jump him and lick the piss off of his dick. Of course, he says its MY FAULT for not reminding him…. (WTH?) NASTY!
11. He is free to do what he wants, and he does exactly that. I am not bossy.
12. He is only half to blame for what went wrong between us.
13. I was hoping and praying…….I completely changed who I was and how I acted, hoping he would respect me and love me again…He didn’t change.
14. He could go “out with the guys” whenever he wanted….I never stopped him. 
15. No Walmart undies…..But his tightie whites leave a lot to be desired....
16. I finally did stop having sex with him. My vibrator was a better lover.</description>

		<description>@Kee, you make good points, but I don&#039;t think you can justify &quot;Women are more willing to compromise than men are.&quot;

@FireZs, you who? Me? Being a straight male, that&#039;s not really my concern.</description>

		<description>Oh, what a vicious cycle. Walmart does suck though.

A girlfriend initially believes that she can overlook the things she doesn&#039;t actually like about her boyfriend (this could be anything from sex to his bathroom wallpaper). Eventually she realizes she can&#039;t, but by then she has made The Commitment. She feels trapped, therefore she feels depressed, therefore about half the symptoms on your list.

A man has two primary examples of women in his life: his girlfriend, and his mother. As the relationship goes on, he sees his girlfriend becoming more and more like his mother. After all, his mother must once have been his father&#039;s girlfriend, until the same thing happened to her. And no matter how strongly a man feels about his mother, he doesn&#039;t want to date her (most men, anyway).

Women are more willing to compromise than men are. The girlfriend feels she is compromising on a lot of things for her boyfriend, so he should compromise for her--hence the favorite shirt, chair, porno, and buddies. When he turns out to be more stubborn that that, her reaction is to stop compromising for him--the going out, the sexy underwear, the dressing up.

A woman also feels that she needs to do more work when pursuing/dating a man than when she has reasonable assurance she&#039;s already got him.

It&#039;s okay. The whole dating world is just fucked up, whether you&#039;re gay or straight.</description>

		<description>Perfectly reasonable. That&#039;s whay the women disagree.

Oooh boy. I&#039;ll get flamed for that one....

... but bring it on.

You&#039;ll most definitely prove me right about my opinions on the way women think.</description>

		<description>Please, notice, that I did not call any problem pathetic. I don&#039;t see a problem there, all I see is a man whining about having a relationship and not liking one bit of it, unless there is lots of sex in it.
What I called pathetic is that list of yours. You have very high expectations and I just hope you are as gorgeous and faithful as Kim pointed out you would have to be to impose all those expectations on your partner.</description>

		<description>@Kim and Angelika,

I&#039;m just trying to give insight into the common man&#039;s mind. Don&#039;t blame me if you&#039;re not impressed with how this half of the species thinks. The first step to addressing a problem is understanding it, not calling it pathetic.</description>

		<description>Ladies, this is why you should be crotchety and bitchy from the get go. That way, your perpetually gorgeous (never balding) and always faithful man will not be disappointed when you can&#039;t shed the pounds from popping out his kids.</description>
