Wow, some of the comments on that article... :P

I can totally see this, women have the support system they can vent to, men don't really have that. We're told to not show emotions, so when you're in a crappy relationship, we're conditioned not to talk about it with the other people.

The comments are entertaining.

Exactly. It's why women come off as being more needy and whiney about relationships because they're conditioned to talk about it more, openly.

Agreed!

 

[BlackLantern]

there is a difference between communicating openly and being whiny/clingy

If you're in a crappy relationship and you don't want to end it for some insane reason then drink every day.

I think women are quicker to get out of bad relationships because it's easier for them to find another mate.

 

[E-Man]

Men not having a support structure is the result of the whole testosterone thing. Be a man, show no weakness, and all that crap. It used to really bother me when after getting out of a bad relationship people acted like it wasn't supposed to mean a thing to me. Now I really don't let that bother me. I deal with emotional issues on my own since I've found that other opinions on love usually tend to involve people pressing their wants and perceived needs on you.

Younger women, yes...older women, no. It's why older women usually stick with a husband that cheats on her, especially if she's past her prime. An older guy is much more attractive to a younger women, or women of an age for that matter, because of his maturity, stability and experience. An older woman isn't as attractive to any guys, in any stage of a guys life, for the most part.

whats strange is, the highly attractive women that are passed there prime, you see them with unattractive guys when they get married...like there done screwing all the other guys and now they settled for someone who just has money or just security. its really creepy how they have that wandering eye.

Don't people want Love? How are people raised to be such a lousy way?
geez

its true though, unattractive girl, geeky girls, overweight women, old women are so much more fun to talk and a lot more friendly funny kind. not always but more times than the very attractive ones.

I have a for instance today. a geeky girl rushed over to put my stuff in my bag a the store but i only had one thing. Never once did an attractive girl do such a thing. i go to another store, gorgeous girl walking around, and they always have that miserable look on there face like they can't bother with the world.


iv had more guys reach out to me than any attractive girl ever has. Guys seem to just give a damn more. I don't know what the hell girls want, there pretty miserable creatures when they're amongst each other.

Its because guys are more willing to lower standards and settle a lot more than women; much more. Women don't like to settle and even when they found a guy that great for them but doesn't have everything, its not enough for them.

Don't get me wrong, there are men like that, but I just found it more obvious in women.

 

[I'm Old Greg]

yeah i see it all the time ^ miserable women, than they eat and they blow up into a house.

soo strange.

 

[Golgo-13]

Women are generally miserable anyway you look at it. They can have just about everything a person could want, and they'd still find something to ***** about.

Luckily I have a pretty good support system for the most part, but there are certain people that I have decided to just not talk to anymore, because all that happens is I start getting judged because I made a decision that they didn't want me to make.

Does that mean gay men in bad relationships suffer twice as much, while lesbians have the best relationships of all?

 

[Harry_Lime02]

Studies are stupid and I hate them. Gender difference studies are twice as stupid. Honestly, men and women aren't that different really.

True, we both can have giant **** if one of us tends to not work out.

Sometimes you can find yourself in a relationship for a sole reason not to be alone. Men do that to, which can, but not soley contribute to the overly-attached/abusing ahole that a good number of cats are. I don't know about who 'suffer's' most. I would think kids are always at the bottom of the pole. I think most folks are generally unagreable tho, of either gender. Still it's cliche but it's true- lotta fish inthe sea, nothin wrong w/ takin your time.

I don't know tho, guys talk. Hell if you consider your relationship-of which you've got a partner that you really don't deal well with, then I've always thought of the adivice of the great Biff Tannen.

what states do you think is the best for dating meeting people?

I have to say NEW YORK is pretty miserable for that.

 

[BlackLantern]

actually NYC has the most single people, per capita, in the US
