#1 Pure laziness.

When it comes to doing things the easy way, men are highly skilled experts. Dating a woman who already has small children is the TV dinner version the American dream. Men don’t want to spend 24 hours simmering a pot roast when Swanson makes a “Hungry-Man” meal that’s ready in minutes. [...]

If you ask a woman what she is looking for in a man she will probably say something like, “A man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. A man who is good at communicating his feelings. A man who is affectionate and willing to make me feel [...]

I often hear men say that women want to “have it both ways”.  By this, they usually mean that women want to be treated as equals, but don’t want to pull their own weight.  Until recently, that assertion made me more than a little angry;  I’d just never seen any evidence that it was true.

I may not be as right as I normally am. We have been doing a lot of discussion over online dating profiles and the way that we should or shouldn’t be presenting ourselves. I think I may be guilty of doing a little white lying on my profile as well. Yup, I’m not actually a D cup. Of course, I’m joking…I actually am but size doesn’t matter. But the truth is that I have been painting a less than accurate portrait of myself.

Tiffany’s post about the gender differences playing a role in single parenting reminded me of what I admit is obviously lacking in raising my daughter, first hand experience.
