[quote=Anonymous]Women who are professionally and financially secure simply don’t need men now. So, to choose to be in a relationship with man, dedicating her time, energy and effort, the man has to be worth it.  In my experience it’s not that women have unrealistic expectations for the men they date. Rather, it is simply that, if they choose to date, these are the expectations. But they are perfectly happy not to date, and not to be in long-term relationships. And more and more frequently not to marry in order to have children.  Being in a relationship has to be more rewarding, on balance, than the alternative of spending more time with friends, family, solo, traveling, pursuing hobbies, all kinds of other activities. And now raising children.

As for the idea that women should essentially be dependent on men to prop up their egos, lest all men become man babies, I think that’s bs.  First, the bulk f men are not prone to the silliness and have healthy egos not requiring adoration or dependency.  Second, women just don’t care.  I mean, really, does anyone really care how many man babies there are?  They are irrelevant.

And I say all this as a woman happily married to a man I love (and, yess, my expectation, and his, were both high).  [/quote]
