Yes, every woman already knows this. She was talking about finding love and that's a bit different.[/quote]

But that turns into love, fairly generally.  Most of the time, in my experience, it's the guys who get more attached than women.  [b]As evidenced in the difference in divorce filing rates by gender[/b]. [/quote]

I have always wondered about this.  Is it because women have higher standards and expectations or that men are more wary of throwing in the towel as to them it is admitting failure.  Also believe that part of it is because dating is so much more difficult for men as they are usually required to make the first move.[/quote]

This is an interesting discussion. I tend to think it's because when faced with an unhappy relationship, men will do more to cope without leaving the relationship (check out mentally, cheat, etc) and women can't really do the same, because if they cheated their DH would most likely not stay. I also think most men aren't crazy about the idea of less time with their kids and paying child support (if applicable) so they are less inclined to file for divorce.
I also generally find that men have a pretty easy time dating as well, as long as they are dating 'in their league' looks-wise so to speak. The ones who face a lot of rejection are often going after women who are just not a good fit for them.[/quote]

[b]I think it's because most men are generally hard to live with.  On average, they have poorer social skills, are less adept at relationship regulatory tasks like chatting, and contribute less to the household chores and child rearing.  Many times, they dont contribute at all and think of their wife as basically an unpaid maid/nanny/sex supplier.  I think sooner or later, once women have kids, they figure out that as hard as it may be to go it alone, it's easier than with an additional burden who is not that socially supportive of them.
