[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every day this forum reminds me why I stay away from men. 
Ladies, I hope it gets better for each of you soon. [/quote]

Lesbian here. My wife and I have our issues but damn. Could not have made it with a dude even if I had wanted to. [/quote]

:roll:

Just as it’s ridiculous to generalize about all women, it’s ridiculous to generalize about all men.

I'm not really generalizing.

Anecdotally speaking, we have tons of married friends - gay and straight. From those observations alone, I stand by what I said. Of course not every man is the same, and that's not what I said.

Not the first time straight ladies have gotten butt hurt over this observation on DCUM.

Straight woman here.  I think you are right (and I say that as someone who likes her husband and doesn’t hate men).  I think men are more difficult to deal with in relationships because they don’t communicate their own feelings and usually get very defensive when their spouse communicates hers.  I think they don’t deal well with things that don’t have direct fixes.  Men are also raised to be competitive, and I think they carry that over into relationships.  So they see arguments in terms of winning and losing, as opposed to seeing them as a thesis-antithesis-synthesis process where people reach middle ground.

Women can sometimes be like that too, but I think in general it’s more an issue with men.  Girls are raised to talk through things.  Men are generally raised to win things.  I’m painting in broad strokes, but I think it’s true.  Some men are able to learn as adults how to communicate feelings and argue productively.  But they have to have a lot of self-awareness and they have to want the marriage/relationship to work.[/quote]
