"how? most men expect their wives to work full time, raise kids full time, cook and clean full time and take care of their men full time while the man just works and comes home and sits and watches tv and plays video games. that is no life at all."

That's exactly it. Women work full time and are the primary caretakers of the kids and do the domestic work. No wonder a woman in a situation like that spurns sex and eats comfort food. She doesn't have a strong man complementing her strengths and being father to the kid-- she's essentially taking care of yet another kid.

Men aren't men anymore, either. To be fair, I think there's something hormonal behind it all. Maybe it's all the soy or the BPA? Maybe it's due to obesity-- since fat tissue generates estrogen in both women and men?

I can't tell you how many men I've met the last several years who groom and primp themselves constantly, and incessantly discuss their every little emotion. They get sensitive and easily hurt over things MEN - real men - are supposed to be tough enough to shrug off.

Some will post things on message boards lamenting women not coming up to them and asking them out. They don't seem to realize the sheer testosterone and manliness it takes to be the aggressor is part of what attracts women to men-- that's why women don't take the lead and ask them out. If they have to do it, then it's probably not the sort of man they're attracted to, anyway.

The shy, tentative person blushing in the corner is not supposed to be the guy.

My father or grandfather would never have acted like touchy little girls. It's like testosterone is in short supply.
