					<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It’s weird, Aahz, but I’ve actually met men who were sincerely interested in unnatural stuff, like having a family. What is up with that. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Actually, the list still applies even after marriage, I didn't say some men don't want to get married, just that the four items on the list are what men think about.  And even after the marriage and kid stuff do you know why the husband wants to solve the problems the wife brings up?  To get her to shut up, especially when watching television or sleeping.  Talking during sex is okay so long as it is dirty talk.

&lt;blockquote&gt;How about marriage…? Anyone? Anyone care at all? Raising a family, complete with father, mother, and kids? Growing old with someone you love? Anyone care at all?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

For men it is generally a pretty crappy deal.</description>

					<description>it is indeed a sad state. 

it seems nearly impossible to find someone, much less find someone and have the "timing" right. what happened to people just falling for each other and figuring out the details? rolling with the punches? sticking with it for the long-haul?

there are so many rules regarding who's at what level of their career, how many proverbial oats one should sow before "settling down," who makes more money...not to mention half the people i know have moved at least 500 miles away for jobs in the past two years, usually leaving their significant other behind because that person has his or her own career and can't up and move right then. 

the current state of our world doesn't make it easy or foster a lot of hope.</description>

					<description>The guys working extra time in lab for their advanced science class (referred to nicely or not as "geeks" ), knowing if ever asked would treat a woman like a queen, roll their eyes and giggle at the beautiful elite's courting standards

Interesting view there on dating and foreplay, something I'da never thought of and makes sense...Well I'll heading to the Friday night spot now, to apply jerk mode and go with what works until changes for the better come along...</description>

					<description>Not really. But they do meet after several IM's and emails that could only be herniated (SO not the right word, but fitting) by the common day Dating Websites. I spent longer getting over my ex then I did actually dating him, only in part to the dubious break-up and revelations thereafter....

But this cheered me up a bit:

					<description>&lt;i&gt;And can that person be a man so I can hear about all of the moronic and ridiculous nonsense that they consider to be logic and then try to understand it?&lt;/i&gt;

Actually men are really easy to understand.  We like basically four things,

Food,
Fucking,
Sleep,
Watching television

That's pretty much it.  It is women who make life complicated.  Look at your post, you want dinner, conversation, and other stuff before you get to the thing the guy wants (see the second item on the list).    The first and foremost thought on a guys mind is getting laid, nothing hard to understand there.  Keep the above list in mind and you'll be able to understand men pretty well.

Men are only confusing because you are a woman and don't know how men think.</description>
