[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today men want & need women more than women want & need men.  Thus women are choosier.  [/quote]

Until they reach their mid 30s and start pressuring their boyfriends for marriage and kids. Women will not admit it. But many who waited until their mid 30s to have kids eventually ended up settling. [/quote]

Perhaps that is why many women "unsettle" aka divorce when the kids are older, which is a shame because if the not good looking men who women settled for actually were participatory dads, did equal household and kin-building work, and were kind, good partners, the vast majority of women wouldn't divorce them.

So, is it really a problem that women mis-judge men's looks or is it a problem that men think that they do not have to be contributors to relationships in any way - looks, money, labor participation, etc.?

I love how you put this: "unsettle." I realize that's exactly what I did with my ex-husband. I settled for him under pressure to be less "picky" (aka stop seeking my equal). 10 years later, I unsettled because life is too short to spend it trapped with a bitter, venomous man who won't improve himself. Life is great now. [/quote]
