capitald Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I think this site provides a great opportunity to share our ideas about romance and relationship matters and I think that the perspectives shared on this site by everyone are very valuable. On the flipside I remind everyone to take others advice including mine with a grain of salt and that especially goes with romantic advice. Besides a few general things that hold true and are eternal, I think that hardly anything is written in stone and that what we most expect or how we most want things to be is exactly the opposite of how things are. I think its a new world and women's roles are changing and now that their roles are changing I feel women need to take a more assertive role in the dating game if they are going to find happiness in life. I feel that alot of women, on this site in particular, are content to sit on their laurels and wait for some Prince Charming to come to them, and from my experience this very seldomly happens and if it does then the girl is usually super attractive or something like that. For all the other girls, as you infiltrate the ranks of the world and cut men's salaries in half, you have to realize that men don't have the time or resources to come with the game that they once did. You wanted to be equal with all of your heart. Now it is your turn to be equal. You happiness may just be in the balance. Link to post Share on other sites
dyermaker Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Just curious, are you talking about equal roles, equal responsibility, equal priveleges, or equal VALUE? Equal roles is impractical, equal responsibility is unwanted, equal priveleges are inherently unfair. Link to post Share on other sites
jenny Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 i don't really understand. if your girl is doing some of the courting work- and that makes you happy - mazel tov! why would it be a problem if i or anyone else chooses not to make long distance calls to men with potential, etc? i believe in working at an actual relationship equally, but i am not going to invest a lot of time, money, or energy in a guy who i just met or started dating.

Author capitald Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 I am talking about what I said. I am not particularly looking to intellectualize this all. You either understand it or you don't. I wrote it from the heart so the only way to understand it is to "feel" what I am saying. Not everything is about the mind, especially not love.

dyermaker Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Originally posted by capitald I am talking about what I said. Since what you said, "equality", is enourmosly ambiguious, I'll either have to ask you to clarify, or brush your whining about misogyny off, since there's really no discussion without "intellectualizing".
