When it comes to finance, it's not the money that we want its the stability. I don't want to become a house wife nor do I want my husband to be a stay at home husband. I shouldn't say "we" because yes there are a lot of women out there that don't want to work. At the same time there are men who do not want to work. I know many husbands who stay home to take care of the chores and etc.
All men are not pigs. Saying all men are pigs is like saying all women are whores. Its just not true. There are many men that are decent guys. Calling all men pigs is like the male version of womanizing...right? However its human nature to criticize others. Whether its between men and women or between ourselves. We criticizes others to make ourselves feel more whole.
Women do hold this entitlement. Why? Even though it is 2010, we are still trying to become equal to men. Women still are getting paid less than men. Women are still trying to take these enormous strides to becomes as equal to men. Feeling like we have this entitlement is a way to take that step to becoming equal. No, I don't think women wanting a huge fancy ring is going to day anything. That doesn't prove anything except you spent way to much money.
When it comes to saying "I love you" yes I do mean it when I say it. When you state that that women say "this is a man that I have wrapped around my finger" is not true...well in most cases. However men do the same thing. Saying "I want him to dress this way, act this way etc.." is diffidently the same thing that men do. When they meet a girl they want them to be that same way for forever. In reality people change and very often. Its because of society actually with fads, fashions, and ect. Women don't look for replacements just like men don't. When in comes to relationships, they are like fads. People fall in and out of love with each other. That's just life. You fall in love with someone and years later you realize that this person is not the same person you fell in love with 10 or 15 years ago. That works for both women AND men. People change and you either deal with it or you don't.
I think you make some good arguments howeverI think you are pretty bold to only have 2 categories--men and women. Women are this, men are that. There are so much more to the psychology of people then just their sex. You seem to be playing up on the stereotypes of women and how they act. I know this is from a guys perspective but at the same time you should try to look into the women's side of things. Whats the backgrounds of these women? Do they come from a family of strong women? Do they come from a rich family? Do they have certain standards to uphold? Why is the guy with her in the first place? Why is the girl with him? What do the equally want out of this relationship? Are ALL men the same? Are ALL women the same? It's such a broad view of things when you dig deeper there are a lot of psychology within it.
While I agree that there are many different facets to a person regardless of sex, the generalizations I present are the common denominator found in society. Of course there are exceptions and we could sit here all day and night discussing every possible contingency to every possible scenario of dating and relationships. Of course I am painting with a broad brush in an attempt to rough out an ideology.
Yes, not all men are pigs and not all women are whores. However, the preconception is that they are; guilty until proven innocent. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to show someone who catches your eye that you have noble and loving intentions. It's just that, in my experience, women tend to act on those preconceptions while men attempt to give them the benefit of the doubt.
