Maybe they're those women who carry imaginary lists around in their heads and cross a man off for the slightest infraction ... Maybe the women give the worrying impression that the moment the date/night/weekend/affair is over they'll be giving the poor bastard the full Sex and the City treatment with their galpals, assessing performance like pundits on Match of the Day ... Or maybe men are just fed up with women who accuse men of hating them, but then speak about men in terms which actually are remarkably demeaning, objectifying and, yes, hateful. Personally, I like wonderful women very much. Which is why I married one ...

But I think that the ability to love and/or be loved is a knotty problem stemming crucially from how our parents did - or usually didn't really - love us as children. The quality of the list of attributes, abilities and accessories we come with for the delectation and delight of our partners (and ourselves) is not the main catalyst for rejection.

It cuts right to the truth & from now on I am gonna see the real motives of those I date... and even knowing all of this does make me feel bad, but feel great. And if HE cannot see that, then sod him. This is so true!!!
